It could still be weeks before Strawberry is allowed to be exercised, except under very specific circumstances. In order to facilitate ‘Strawby’s’ return to work at MVRU as quickly as possible, we would like to send her to Lakeshore Equine Fitness and Rehabilitation (link) in Ellensburg as soon as she gets the thumb’s up. Lakeshore partners with Central Washington Equine Hospital (link) to manage her care to produce the best possible outcome. This would be the most expedient, effective and lowest risk method by which to return Strawberry to soundness and fitness, and her valuable role at MVRU. We are hopeful that one month could be sufficient. The total cost for one month of this approach, including medication, veterinary and farrier consultation and therapy, could be over $3000. Would you consider helping us? We currently have pledges to cover Strawby’s first week at Lakeshore. If you would like to pitch in, feel free to contact Annie B annieb@mvriding.org for more information or donate via PayPal. Be sure to indicate in the notes that your donation is for Strawby’s recovery.
