Irish's story

Irish was donated to CANTER. Sensing the urgency, we picked her up one day after we received the call to "come and get her!". Led out to us with just a rope around her neck, our hearts broke as we looked in silence at the little mare before us...200 pounds underweight, with ribs, hips, and backbone protruding, severely cracked and overgrown hooves, a swollen belly, and infested with lice. She had large scattered areas of missing hair coat, and just stroking her made the dull, remaining hairs come off in our hands. Click here to read more about Irish's story.
