Senior Grade Mare

Honey was one of two mares captured after running loose in Darlington, South Carolina, for three days. Initially, we agreed to provide temporary care while their owner was located.

But once Honey and her companion, Mocha, were safely in our hands, it quickly became apparent that their condition was the result of neglect. A veterinary evaluation confirmed our concerns, and the mares were subsequently seized, making them permanent residents of Project ComeBack.

Upon arrival, Honey needed more than just a safe place to land. Her initial veterinary evaluations included bloodwork and a dental exam, which revealed the need for antibiotics, deworming, and dental work. Her feet were also painfully overgrown.

With the help of our veterinary team, farrier, donors, and dedicated volunteers, Honey is now on her way to a healthier future. She receives extra feed, daily care, and all the time she needs to heal. Honey and Mocha were given their names by one of our volunteers, and while their story didn't begin the way it should have, the rest of it will be different.

Honey will never again have to wonder where her next meal is coming from or what tomorrow will bring. She has a home here, for the rest of her life.
