Rizz is more than just a horse to us. He is a gentle, loving soul who brings joy to so many of our disabled and vulnerable participants, now he needs our help.

It all started with what seemed like a simple sore eye, but it gradually got worse. Concerned, we called the vet, who took one look and immediately noticed a mass behind his eye. Unfortunately, without a CT scan, they can’t determine the size, cause, or how serious it might be.

Right now, Rizz isn’t in pain, but we need to act quickly to get the scan and develop a treatment plan before the condition worsens. Time is critical, and we’re asking for your help to give him the best chance at recovery.

The CT scan alone costs £1000, and with additional vet visits, medications, and possible surgery, the total cost is likely to even exceed that. We are reaching out to our amazing community for support in covering these urgent medical costs.

Rizz will be taken to Liphook Equine Hospital, where he will receive the best care possible.

⭐️ Thank you, Natalie and everyone at Park Lane Stables ⭐️

UPDATE

After surgery to remove a mass behind his eye and two nights stay at Liphook Equine Hospital our darling Riding for the Disabled Association carriage driving horse is back at home with us!

Rizz is in good spirits being back with his herd mates. He will be on box rest for two weeks until his stitches come out. We are still waiting for the histology report, but in the meantime he will be getting all the TLC and rest he needs.

The biggest thank you goes out to all of you who made this happen by supporting us with donations and kinds words.

Rizz will still have a journey ahead of him, and he will have to adapt to life with only one eye, however many horses have lived long and fulfilling lives after becoming visually impaired.
