TREW Luigi and Trinket - Available for Sponsorship
Dean was contacted by the RSPCA in relation to 2 very neglected little ponies. Luigi had long term chronic laminitis, the crest of his neck was broken and he clearly had signs of a metabolic disorder. Trinket's feet were extremely long, to the point where she was unable to walk properly. Like Luigi, she was suffering from long term chronic laminitis.
After discussions with the owner about the best way to rehabilitate these ponies, he decided to surrender them to TREW.
Collection was arranged, but due to the severity of their condition and the pain they were clearly in, a vet was called to administer pain relief for their transportation to our rehablitation centre. Trinket also needed an excessive amount of hoof taken off for her to be able to walk onto the float. Both ponies travelled like stars and once home, they were left to settle for the rest of the day.
The following day, both ponies received a trim and were started on a course of homeopathics to help with their chronic laminitis. Both are very cute little ponies, though are unsure about human contact. Luigi is very chatty when you walk into the paddock, with lots of soft nickers. Trinket appears unsure of what will be happening to her next, but both have been very obliging with everything that has been done to them.
