Peanut is a 5-month old Paso Fino colt. He was surrendered by his owner because he has a locked stifle. The locked stifle is due to malnutrition. Peanut is very underweight and unhealthy. He is also extremely wormy. He was running with a herd of horses and they were only getting fed once a day out of one feed trough. All the bigger and older horses were eating but Peanut was not strong enough to get any food.

This is Peanut when he arrived. We have been working very hard to get him to eat and he is improving slowly. His prognosis is guarded. We are hoping that proper care and nutrition will fix his locked stifle. If that does not happen then he will need surgery.
