Hilfe für unser geliebtes Schulpferd Slocum

Our school horse, Slocum, unfortunately suffered a severe injury on June 8, 2023, which required him to be taken to the veterinary clinic and undergo surgery. The costs for the surgery and hospital stay alone amount to approximately €4,500. In addition, there are some veterinary expenses for initial care and follow-up treatments. Overall, we estimate the total costs to be around €7,000.
Slocum has been with us for about 1.5 years and has been incident-free during that time. We trained him ourselves as a vaulting horse, and he does a wonderful job in that role, which has been confirmed in competitions and badge exams. In our riding lessons, his size allows him to accommodate larger riders and challenge his students.
Due to this accident, he will be out of commission for at least three months until he fully recovers and is sufficiently trained to resume lessons. Since he is very dear to us, we want to support him as best as possible during his recovery and not forgo any therapy options. However, these treatments not only require increased time and effort but also come with additional costs. That is why we are asking for your help. Even seemingly small contributions can make a big difference, and we appreciate any form of support.

To provide you with some reference points:

We want Slocum to recover quickly, return to his buddies in the pasture, and be greeted with joy by his students during riding and vaulting lessons.
