Story
Ollie is a failed racehorse, he gave his all from 2yrs of age to the racing industry. He started off with a promising career but the stress and strains of racing so young started to take its toll, by the time Ollie was 5 in May 2016 he had started to breakdown and was disqualified at the start of his last race for being unsound. That was the end of Senior Consorts IRE career, we dont know what happened to him from that day till Tracey found him a year later, he was emaciated, weighing in at under 300kg, covered in rainscald his feet where overgrown, split and sore .
Slowly over the past year Tracey has got Ollies weight back to normal and the farrier has sorted his feet out, hes had his vaccinations and teeth done, he is proving a kind trainable horse.
Unfortunately all of a sudden Ollie has started struggling to breath, the vet thinks there could be a foriegn body up his nose, problem with larynx or a growth
The only way to tell is a camera up his nose, this will cost over £200 including sedation. Tracey unfortunately lost her job a couple of months ago and cannot meet this bill.
Can anyone spare a couple of pounds to get Ollie the treatment he desperately needs, no-one is asking for continued support for Ollies upkeep its just a one off to find out whats wrong with him. It breaks your heart seeing him struggling, hopefully it is something simple that can be fixed, but if not Tracey will do the right thing by him.
Thank you in advance to anyone that can spare any amount however small, it all mounts up.

6 years agoUPDATE CONTD. As you can see by the receipts all the money has gone to and been used up by Severn Edge Equine,I had to pay £10 on 22.03 for them to send the insurance form! I have spoken to majority of people on this page that where happy and trusted me to do the right thing by Ollie with their donation and are happy but as some of you are anonymous I would like to thank you and make sure you are happy too. Anyone that feels that they wish they had not donated I will gladly fully refund you xxx

6 years agoUPDATE CONTD. Scope day came and a donatee who is a community adviser started asking Tracey about her missed insurance, turned out she had missed an instalment and the last and final payment was due in a couple of days time. I ended up paying again with Tracey promising to pay me back. We are not sure what, if anything the insurance will pay for, as the claim form only went from vets to insurance on 22.03.19 due to various other complications!! This has been an absolute nightmare.

6 years agoHi all I am trying to update this page but it only allows 550 characters so will have to do it in bits 🤯 As majority of you already know this was not straightforward to sort out. Tracey had lost her job before christmas, she was walking miles most days as didnt even have bus fare, in arrears so vet wouldnt come out, other vets wanted £200 upfront, insurance hadnt been paid, Ollie was very sick. I started this page, paid the arrears and booked the scope for the next week on zone day to save money. PLEASE SEE NEXT UPDATE...
