COPPER and GWILLAN

Copper


COPPER is a 17hh, TB mare brought in by the SSPCA in 2000 from a Castlebaldwin owner.

She was found on waste land next to Molly Fulton’s cafe at Ballisodare, Co. Sligo.

She was emaciated, her legs were badly cut, she had a lice infestation and a worm belly.

The Gardai intervened, confiscated her and she came to Sai Sanctuary when the SSPCA were unable to keep her in January 2004. She is now in excellent condition.

 

April 2012 - Copper fell in the yard and the vet confirmed a possible heart attack. She was very weak with laboured breathing, an irregular heartbeat, and unable to get up on her own. Amidst hail, snow and torrential rain we made the difficult decision to let her go. She was much loved and will be missed by everyone; including Taus and Johnny Rainbow.

 

Gwillan

GWILLAN was relinquished on 10th May, 2004 from Dysart Village, Co. Galway because he was biting and kicking and the family's 14 year old daughter was now too afraid to go into the field with him. He was a runty 4 year old pony rig about 11hh.

He was taken to Dublin Veterinary Hospital (UCD) on June 2nd 2004 for rig castration operation, which was totally successful.

 

He made friends with 17hh Copper and is grazed with her and/or the two mules, Dustin and Hoffman. Very dark brown in colour, almost black in summer coat. Sticky-up mane, probably hogged.
