This morning we received a call about an older stallion that was down, displaying signs of pain and discomfort, and seemed unable to get up. He did stand back up on his own, but went up and down a couple more times and was very lethargic. This behavior continued and after monitoring him for several hours without seeing any improvement and the horse not moving much at all, we made the decision to remove him from the wild for veterinary treatment.
He has been examined by our veterinarian and is currently in stable condition at our farm, receiving supportive care and being monitored closely. We do not have any additional details to share at this time, but can confirm that he was not struck by a vehicle as was being speculated on social media earlier today.
(Photo taken late this evening - he wandered out of his stall on his own and started nibbling on grass. An encouraging sign, but he is certainly not out of the woods.)
