UPDATE 11\/2014- Shotgun now spends his days in the paddock with other babies his age. His best friends include Princeton, Roman, and Saharra. These adorable little buddies are growing up together. Shotgun very laid back and will follow you anywhere. He now weighs over 600lbs and has been started undersaddle. He is still to small to ride, but he is growing. You can no longer see his bones. In the spring Shotgun will learn to carry weight and be on his way to being fully rideable.<\/h3>\n

This Quarter Horse colt was surrendered to the Roanoke Valley Horse Rescue last week. Shotgun, a one-year-old colt, weighs only 246 pounds, about half of what he should. The rescue is in need of monetary donations to help cover his veterinarian bills. Also needed are Sentinel LS feed, which can be purchased from Holdren’s Country Store in Vinton, bagged bedding, alfalfa cubes and rice bran. Also protein bars and protein powder for shakes (these will help build muscle) and Gatorade drinks. Please contact the horse rescue at (540) 721-1910 or email info@rvhr.com.<\/p>\n

A horse from Franklin County is getting a new shot at life thanks to a rescue group. The Roanoke Valley Horse Rescue is trying to nurse Shotgun back to health. The nearly year old Quarter Horse colt weighs under 280 pounds. Horses should weigh twice that much at his age. Franklin County Animal Control officers found him in a trailer Tuesday night. He can barely stand.<\/p>\n

I wanted to share this with our supporters.\u00a0 One of Shotguns donors want to try to make the staff feel special as the angels they are and say thank you for\u00a0 their endless days and night watching over him with this special treat from DQ.<\/p>\n
