Flea came to us in March of 2021. She was owned by a fantastic lady from the time she was only 6 months old, but in 2021 she foundered. It broke her owner’s heart to give her up but she knew she was unable to care for her medical needs properly. Rhonda was already her farrier so she contacted us about taking Flea into the sanctuary program. As she now has specific medical needs she fits right into our program. Once she arrived we learned from our vet that she is partially blind. We have found this seems to be relatively common amongst minis. She does very well in the pasture, however, and sticks close to Thor, an ancient Fjord. She loves attention and pets but we have to remember to speak to her at all times so that she knows where we are and doesn’t get startled.
