About this campaign
Harvey, at 10 years old, had suffered a life of neglect and abuse. He was likely used as a trip horse in illegal rodeos in Southern California, and ultimately was shipped to a kill pen/auction house. This meant he was most likely going to be sent to another neglectful environment, or even slaughtered. Sunny Rose Animal Sanctuary interrupted this fate though, and stepped in to rescue him.
Harvey had a severe limp, stemming from a past injury to his shoulder that did not heal properly. He had an initial evaluation by a local vet, and his X-rays suggested he needed further care. He also had poor hoof and dental health, that fortunately have been tended to. He receives an anti-inflammatory daily that helps, but is still in pain. He currently has surgery scheduled and will also receive a CT scan the day before. This surgery will allow Harvey to ultimately walk pain free.
Harvey is an incredibly sweet and curious little guy. He is very gentle and deserves so much more than the poor hand that life has dealt him. Each day he is being shown love and kindness, and he is giving it right back. For the first time, he galloped through the fields, running free, showing his playful side. It is such a delight to Sunny Rose to see his true personality blossom.
Harvey's past is riddled with hardships that he will never face again. Please help Sunny Rose Animal Sanctuary get him one step closer to full health, and bury his past traumas by donating to his campaign.
