I know many of you want to go and visit him, but it is actually better if he stays quiet and has no visitors right now. The more he moves the more unstable and painful he becomes. The vets want him to stay as quiet as possible.
Here is a video of him being walked today, see how unstable his hindquarters are and how his crippled leg collapses? He has a hard time getting the foot underneath him. So today, the vets splinted his leg for stability and this afternoon they are creating a more elaborate splint to totally immobilize the fetlock joint.
His temporary splint. It did seem to help him.

I've never met Chief, but my heart breaks for him. I will keep him in my prayers.
It's good to see that Chief is doing better. Will keep him in my prayers. It's so good to see all the horses in herd situations. I wish more people would recognize how important it is to them. Thank you for showing us how a great rescue looks.
Chief is my daughter's favorite horse at the rescue. She has a picture of him decorating her school binder. I didn't know how to tell her when I heard the news, but when I told her she said she knows Chief has a lot of spirit and will get better. Keep going Chief! We are all praying for you!
