About this campaign

Wally was orphaned at birth on June 20th after his mom suffered fatal complications. He was grafted onto a small pony named Penelope and shared her space from day 1 but he needed bottle fed around the clock as she was being belight into milk and did not produce enough for him.
He was named Wally (Final Waltz) in memory of his late dam, Whinny.

Wally lost his mom due to severe foaling complications following a dystocia. When he was born his umbilical tore prematurely and had a bad bleed. He was placed on antibiotics from day 1 as a preventative but he developed a septic umbilicus. He was sent to Mid Atlantic Equine Medical Center in NJ for surgery but he also developed a septic joint (stifle). He has been hospitalized for 3 weeks.

It does not take a horse person to see just how special Wally is. His dam, Whinny, was the most incredible horse I have ever had the pleasure of loving. He has followed in her footsteps from day 1. They just simply do not come as sweet as he is. He is genuinely pure, loves givinf smooches and will lay down and take a nap on your lap! He loves dogs and kids and is just the kindest baby.

Just weeks before Wally was born, my mom and younger siblings were fleeing a life threatening domestic abuse marriage and left with just clothes on their backs. My husband and I (who have 3 young kids of our own) burned through every bit of our emergency funding for family.
