Guinness medical needs

Calling all my CARING horse lovers, PET lovers, and those who know the POWER of an emotional support animal. We are in desperate need of your help fast!!! My daughter Addysenn has had her Rocky Mountain Horse "Guinness" for about 5 years. This horse and her have an unbelievable bond that has spanned the full time of those years.

THE CURRENT CRISIS: a few days ago our beloved Guinness suffered a colic incident, the farm vet came out and treated him we started to see him on the mend. Then in the blink of a moment things turned for the worse he became painfully ill again. So our next option was to head to the staff at The Ohio State University Equine Veterinarian. After 4 days of testing and trials and exams. The OSU team has found a large mass that was located in the path of the small intestine. Several attempts were made to move or dislodge the mass thinking it could be some impacted feces that had gotten stuck, but all attempts were unsuccessful. Leaving the only other potential as an unknown mass (tumor, abscess, intestine stone, or compacted fecal) Now being a few thousand dollars in, we are left with the option of tripling down on the cost with surgery or terminating his wonderful life. This is why we are asking for the desperate help with our backs against the wall we are moving forward with the surgery.

BUT WHY: There are thousand of other horses out there, you may ask. Those of you pet/ animal lovers know the true answer behind this question. Well this story starts back to when these two first met. This horse would not stand still for any adult while they held it, "happy feet", as he was come to be known, then came along this little child with the softest of voices only 7 years strong and stood barely to his stomach touched his leg, and in the softest of sounds says "hey Guinny it's ok". With the weight of a thousand worlds this horse stops dead in his tracks and bends his head down to see what little thing had just touched his leg. With a deep sniff of her head then a loud snort at her, it was as if a total calming sensation came upon him. It was then at that moment we realized this would be a dynamic and unstopable pair. A few years later Addysenn was diagnosed with a learning disability in reading. Once again, this wonderful horse became a real hero and was forced to listen as this soft little voice would sit in his stall and read her books out loud stumbling through words and mispronouncing others never once casting a judgemental eye. As the years ticked away these two became the best of teammates winning several competitions at their local county fair taking first place in their gaited equatation classes and trail classes. In the 2022 fair year Addysenn and Guinness were Horse Grand Champions of the fair. This is why we made the choice to help Guinness out because he has helped us out so much and this is why we are asking for your gratious help to cover the cost of the medical bills and followup medications that will need to be in place for his successful recovery.

Thank you
