Dixie actually had an owner that cared about her enough to give her up. Dixie is a sweet, 30-something year old pony who came down with an ulcer and eye infection that is costly and time consuming to treat. Her owner did not have the funds or time to treat Dixie, plus it is hard to justify on such an old pony. Her owner contacted HHF and said she didn't know what to do and may have to put Dixie down because that would be cheaper than the treatment and Dixie would not suffer. Harris Heights Horse Farm took her in and, with the help of Dr.Vice at Dixie Equine, we treated the ulcer and infection and were able to save Dixie's eye. She has wonderful with helping young children to ride. She is a patient, forgiving and gentle soul. We all love Dixie and are so proud of her achievements at the horse shows.
UPDATE: DIXIE UNEXPECTEDLY PASSED AWAY ALTHOUGH WE TRIED VERY HARD TO SAVE HER. WE HAVE A DEDICATION POST FOR ALL THOSE WHO WISH TO PUT THEIR MEMORIES AND THOUGHTS ABOUT DIXIE ON THE SITE.
