Memo’s Story

End of the Trail Horse Rescue offers homes to abused, abandoned and neglected horses of all ages. We give rescue horses a second chance.

Mr. Memo is one of the many horses we have helped with a second chance. Memo came to us off of a race track in New Mexico with Sparkle, an off-track thoroughbred. When the lady that brought the horses to us went to pick Memo up it was clear that something was wrong. His front legs had big lumps on them and one of his eyes was obviously injured. She decided that when she delivered Sparkle, she would also bring Memo to us.

We had his front legs X-rayed and discovered that the lumps were bone growth caused by some sort of trauma. Luckily, his joints are not damaged and he moves soundly. We will never know what happened to his legs but he is sound for riding. He also had an orbital fracture, meaning the bone above his eye was crushed and it looks sunken in. He is also blind in that eye (as far as we can tell), but has adjusted to it.

Memo’s entire body is covered in small bumps and scars. The veterinarian removed one of the bumps and discovered it was a pellet from a shot gun! He had been shot! His eye damage is likely from the shotgun blast. He underwent Natural Therapy to help with the elimination of the pellets. He moves well and has good energy.

As traumatic as his previous life was, this horse is still kind and trusting toward humans. He is a delight to handle, be around and fun to ride.  An amazing horse that loves people.
