He was a show horse, used to the best of everything. Corona was a courageous jumper who won ribbon after ribbon for his owner. And when she had to sell him in order to go to college, she thought things would never change for him…but she was wrong. Corona’s new owner didn’t feed him enough and the once handsome bay Thoroughbred grew thin and unhealthy. He sustained an injury that went untreated and soon became infected. Corona was helpless…and wasting away. Luckily for him, a kind person saw his plight and convinced his owner to give him to SAFE. When he came to us, he was a wreck: skinny, dirty, and dejected. It took months of vet care before he fully recovered from his injury, and gained back the weight he had lost, but in time, we started to see glimpses of the show horse he was. At the 2011 SAFE Benefit Show, Corona was back in the spotlight, winning Champion Rescue Horse as well as Reserve Champion of the entire show. And now his future is bright again. He’s been adopted and his new owner — who plans to make him into an eventer — will never let him fall into neglect again. Corona’s story has a happy ending, the kind of happy ending we hope for every horse to have. Help us make that wish come true!
