Shetland Pony
Polo
Meet Polo, the sweet pony who earned the nickname "The Fighter with a Gentle Heart."
Polo arrived at Beelina after surviving neglect and has bravely battled chronic laminitis—a painful, recurring hoof condition—ever since.
Despite his ongoing struggles, Polo is a joyful presence and a true survivor who embraces gentle care and attention every day.
Polo's Story
Polo is a sweet pony with a heartbreaking past, but a truly gentle heart.
His road to recovery started with a tragic story: neglected by his former owner and desperate for food, he was frequently caught searching in a neighbor's field.
After an attempt to retrieve him turned tragic for his mate, a concerned farmer intervened and called us for help.
Polo arrived in very rough condition and still bravely battles recurring chronic laminitis, a painful inflammatory hoof condition.
This complex diagnosis means he requires meticulous, ongoing care, including:
Strict Diet Control: A specialized, low-sugar feed is essential to prevent painful flare-ups.
Therapeutic Farrier Care: He receives critical, specialized hoof trimming every few weeks to keep him balanced and comfortable.
Supplements and Stall Rest: Frequent monitoring and pain management are necessary to ensure his comfort.
Despite his ongoing struggles, Polo is a joyful presence who thrives on gentle care.
Your sponsorship directly funds the critical therapeutic farrier care, specialized feed, and supplements required to keep this sweet pony comfortable and pain-free for the rest of his days.
