Help for Hugo

Hi my name is Rachel. I bought Hugo in December for my daughter, who's horse sadly had to be pts two years prior.

Hugo was advertised for sale up in Cumbria.

After sustaining a tendon injury during his racing career, he was deemed unfit to race.

He was then bought by a person who was supposed to be carrying out his rehabilitation, but was jumped.

He was then sold to another person, but was too much of a horse and needed an experienced handler.

He is only 5 years old, so just a baby .

When he arrived my intentions where to let him mature, but keep him slightly in work.

On arrival he had multiple sarcoid, a form of warts, which technically this does not bother him, but they are growing, weeping and in places that cause pain. These can be removed under local anaesthetic.

Then just weeks after owning him, he came in lame . Was sent to the vets 3 times. Firstly diagnosed with a sprain, so rest and bute .

3 weeks later, still lame , so back to the vets and antibiotics, possible infection.

3 weeks later still lame, so I paid for an xray and scan .

This confirmed he had damaged his ligament in his hock. Paid for steroid injections . Its now been 3 weeks and still not sound . My vet has informed me, white blood cells can be injected. To have the sarcoid removed is £1000, to have the cell treatment £1500.

I feel I owe it to him, to give him the best. He is so loving and deserves to have a chance in life, due to his age.

The treatment may not be successful. We don't know.

He will never be the horse we wanted but hopefully with the treatment and care, he can be pain free.

Any amount of money would be appreciated.

His vets is Richard owens in Dyserth .

I don't mind if anyone who donates, wants to check if he has had the surgery and money was not a scam.

Thankyou for reading and donating , you will make Hugos life change
