Roxy is a 19 year old Paint Horse in Llano, NM, who needs $5,000 for Hospitalization and Treatment for Plural Pneumonia.

10 yrs ago we got our daughter Roxy, a paint horse from a rescue in Bosque Farms, NM. Roxy was in bad shape but Tallee loved her into great health. Over the years we trained Roxy to ride and then discovered her passion-roping. Tallee and Roxy have been roping since Tallee was 7 years old. Roxy was in perfect condition and super excited about spring living at home with us until 4-7-24 .

4-7-24 perfectly healthy, Roxy choked on her senior equine feed, we immediately took her to the Thal Equine horse hospital and he removed the choke but she developed plural pneumonia. Dr Thal still has hope that Roxy can recover but our bill is currently $8000 and climbing. We love Roxy she is a member of our family and we will do anything for her. Our kids affectionaly refer to her as THE ROCK.

Roxy is the Rock of our family. Our daughter thinks of her as her surrogate mom and teases us that Roxy raised her. I couldn't always be there since I jave been fighting cancer for the past 12 years but Roxy was always there. Tallee has ridden Roxy everyday for the past 10 years. They have become partners. When Tallee approaches Roxy whinies and Roxy won't let any other horses near Tallee.

My husband and I are public school teachers and we have 4 children. We are in medical debt due to my 12 year battle with cancer. Roxy is everything to our 13 year old daughter and we will do whatever it takes to get her healthy and bring her back home.
