✨ Welcome to Triple T, Sapphire ✨
Everyone, meet Sapphire, a beautiful 20-year-old Shire who just joined the Triple T family 💙
Sapphire has been dealing with some significant soreness and stiffness in her hocks, and you can see how much she drags her hind legs just by looking at her hooves. She almost always chooses to lay on her left side, which has led mom to believe her right hip is sore or uncomfortable. When she lays down, she can lose sensation in that left hip and really struggles to get her hind end back underneath her to get up.
After her first session, mom noticed something encouraging — Sapphire got up by herself several times last night and hasn’t gotten stuck yet. Of course, she’s being monitored closely, but mom is hopeful that regular treatments will continue to help support her comfort and mobility 🤍
Standing next to her makes me feel so small lol. I thought Gabriel was big… until Sapphire came strutting around the corner 😅
Big-bodied horses like Sapphire carry a lot of weight on their hind end, and when discomfort sets in, it can quickly affect mobility, balance, and confidence. Our goal with Sapphire is to support comfort, circulation, and hind-end function so she can move and rest a little easier 💫
We’re so glad to have you, Sapphire — you’re in good hands here at Triple T 💙
