Save and Support Suzie Q

 

Two longtime members of the equestrian community need your help – Priscilla Riggs and her beloved 28 year old chestnut mare, Suzie Q (“Suzie”).

 

At one time, Suzie was a very successful jumper and equitation mount. She spent her later years as a lesson horse in Ginny Spooner’s Riding School in Huntington Beach. When Priscilla purchased Suzie in 2008, they both found their perfect companions and soul mates.

 

Sadly, Priscilla was diagnosed with dementia and has been suffering from the devastating effects of this debilitating disease. It has progressed to the point where Priscilla is no longer able to care for Suzie. The family, unable to afford Suzie's care, considered euthanizing her. They didn't think they had any other options.

Since receiving this news, members of the Rancho Sierra Vista Equestrian Center community where Suzie was housed have generously stepped up to make sure that Suzie received the care she needed.

The community wants to continue to ensure Suzie will continue to receive the care she needs and deserves on a long-term basis, in honor of her horse mom who cherished her so much!

But, they need your help!

 

Funds are desperately needed to cover approximately one year of Suzie’s feed, stall bedding, supplements and daily medication. We are estimating Suzie’s monthly care costs to be $550:

- $240 for hay
- $160 for shavings
- $150 for the supplements and medications to manage her existing health issues (ringbone, side bone, and navicular disease).

 

No donation is too small! Every little bit helps!

If you unable to make a donation at this time, but still want to help Suzie, please share this this GoFundMe page on your social media pages.

On behalf of Suzie, Priscilla, and the entire equine community, THANK YOU!!
