The Fawor Foundation found Andy through an ad on Craigslist. It was hard to imagine finding such a well bred registered Arabian in such a sad situation. His previous owner's circumstances changed due to loss of job in the family. He was living in a small, barb wire paddock, for over three years all by himself. When we first saw Andy, we weren’t sure what was going on with his coat. At first we thought he had some kind of lice, and later discovered that he had rain rot all over his body. He even had abscesses from wearing his dirty, wet, blanket through the winter. We couldn’t help but call him Raggedy Andy.
Andy had been wearing a halter for months, maybe longer.
In addition to groceries and TLC, horses at the Fawor Foundation also get routine veterinary and dental care.
Poor Andy endured many medicated bathes. It was clear that he had received little attention, as his former owner labeled him dangerous. After spending the summer at the Fawor Foundation Andrew is now shiny and happy. Andrew is incredibly sweet and will follow you around the pasture all day long. Although he still has muscle mass to gain, and could use more length to his tail, Andrew is totally gorgeous.
Andrew is Russian, ten years old and 15.1 hands. He is very sensitive and can sometimes get nervous, so he does best with a confident partner. Andrew would love to have a sponsor this winter, or a wonderful adoptive home for Christmas.
