Location: Kansas | I ran into pictures of this poor filly last night on facebook.... it is believed that she was attacked by someone with an ax or a large blade of some sort.... I just can't believe anyone could do this to an animal, let alone a baby :(
The page that follows her progress is "Justice for Hottie"

| I saw these pictures. I can't imagine someone doing that to an animal much less a baby. I hope they find out who did it, and hang them by their toenails! |

Her optical nerve was severed so she lost her eye, her jaw was pretty much cut in half, and her jaw joint was broken so her mouth is wired shut. The FB page says she was at the vet for two weeks fighting a fever/infection. |

The vet team at Auburn decided that it had to have been done by a blade of some sort because of how clean the cut was |

So, you are saying it repeatedly ran into a sharp object?
Well, you know what, I wasn't there, so it might have happened like that, there are definitly sharp and weird-shaped objects on a farm...
If so... hopefully the owner will move these things to a safer place so it won't happen again.
But I stick with the SSS if this was done by a person.

| I have to say I kind of thought maybe this poor baby did this to herself...A. I can't believe there are people in this world sick enough to do something like that and B. those additional scrapes/cuts down her neck/side. I could see her getting hung up in something and TOTALLY FREAKING out and ending up doing that to her face. It seems unlikely but so does some machete weilding person attacking a foal.
IDK what to think!! I am glad she's getting such great care and hope she has a long happy life here on out! |

I thought the same. I have seen a lot of photos lately on FB of suspected animal torture. I have seen enough freak accidents not human related that as soon as you think something isn't possible then it happens. It just seems that a lot of people are jumping to conclusions of animal torture or theft instead of looking around at what could have been responsible for an accident or where a horse could have wandered off to.
If this was a result of a person, I hope they are found and appropriately hung. |

I obviously don't know exactly what happened, and her running into something definitely could have happened, but in the comments on the FB page someone said something similar to a gelding near there that didn't make it. |

Location: The Oklahoma plains. | I also lean towards thinking the filly ran in to something. Looks like hit head on and then ran while being scraped up as she fled. I would think if it were a person- she would have a more random pattern of injury while fighting to get away- as I would suspect she was loose.
I am also very skeptical becuase of the fund set up to collect money for vet bills- seems like a better story to get money for than simply she was injured by something she ran in to. Again, jmo. |

I did see on Facebook that someone posted the contact info to the vet clinic where people could make a donation directly to the clinic if they wanted to. There were a few people disputing the story and calling it a scam  |

Yeah, there is a chance that it's a scam... I just hate to think people would do that, too. |

Location: N Texas | While I don't believe this is a scam, I too lean toward the idea of the filly running into something. Can you imagine the sheer force it would take for a human to do that? Just imagine the scenario--a filly loose in a pasture standing still long enough for someone to hack away at her face? It would take a very large, strong person to do that kind of damage with any kind of weapon, and I just don't see that kind of damage being inflicted with one blow.
I know there are some truly sick people out there, I just don't believe this was caused by a person. |

Location: Arkansas | I've never owned a horse, much less a baby, that would have stood still for me to stand directly in front of them, raise my arms above my head and be able to swing (anything) directly at their face.. Much less be able to get near enough to try to repeat the action..
But, if someone did/could have done this.. They are in need of help and apprehention to be put away from society. |

| I have seen this going around on facebook and my thoughts were that she had to have gotten caught up in something and freaked out. Because even very people friendly foals aren't going to just stand there, and why is the dam completely unharmed? If they were in there why not go after her too? Regardless its very sad, but with so much damage I only wonder what kind of life that poor baby will live. |

Location: Mississippi | I don't put anything past human beings anymore cuz there are some real scary people out there, but many years ago my husband had a yearling to run under the gooseneck part of trailer (she was being chased by other horses) & cut her face almost exactly like this. Half of her head was just hanging there. It was horrible. He called the vet out to put her down, but the vet wanted to try to save her & he did!
So I can see both sides....could have been a person, but most likely it was self inflicted. |

Location: South Central Florida | This is a friend of mine. I know the owner and the mare. At first they believed the filly (another weanling was also injurred) was chased by something like a panther or bear and did as someone mentioned, hit her head. However after the surgery at Auburn University, the team of surgeons have stated that they do not believe in any way was this an accident. They believe it was done with an axe or machette do to the depth and shape edge of the wounds.
The filly lost her eye but she is doing remarkebly well other wise. The photo's are graphic. I have more current photos on my phone. She is home and doing very well at this point.
The other weanling was also injurred but very minor compared to this. There may be more information, but it I believe they are not talking about it openly for obvious reasons. If I learn any more I will post.

DO3 is most certainly NOT a scam. We have raised over $80k in the last 2 years for multiple causes. From animal rescues to wildfire relief efforts to tornado victims to the SD ranchers affected by Atlas. We have had 10 Rodeo Kids now, and hoping to add more! I am actually holding a benefit for DO3 tomorrow. I absolutely love DO3.
I retract my previous statement. This woman is a horrible human being and she should be punished for all the awful things she's done. The filly was not attacked. There is no evidence, besides her own words. Her own daughter posted that the horse was involved in an ACCIDENT, not an attack.
She's dragging two fantastic organizations through the mud.AFTER said organizations paid off her $4300 vet bill.

The owner of the horse is attacking NorthStar Equine Foundation AND Dreaming of Three. She has requested that we stop fundraising for her horse. AFTER NorthStar paid off over $4300 of her vet bills AND she has a personal GoFundMe page with over $10,000 of donations.
Anyways, you can choose to keep your order. You will get a shirt saying "Justice for the Animals" with the same design. We are just dropping any mention of the "injured" horse out of it.
This horrible person has cause an IMMENSE amount of trouble for DO3 and NorthStar. Anyone who donated to NorthStar: Your donation went towards the horse's VET BILLS, not to padding the owner's pockets. She is having problems handling the fact that she isn't getting a check from NEF. Any leftover donations were originally set aside into escrow for future bills. And to help other animals in the future. Since NEF is a 501c, they are not authorized to pay individuals. OBVIOUSLY. This is stated on the website and on the application that ALL applicants seeking assistance MUST fill out. This woman KNEW what she was getting into. She's just mad she doesn't have a check at her door for everything. Instead, her vet bills are PAID IN FULL and she has a lovely account all to herself while she comfortably BERATES two extremely well standing organizations.
P.S: There have been several post by her family members saying the horse was involved in an accident. NOT attacked.
If anyone else has any questions or issues pertaining to the shirt or the case, please message me and I will do my best to answer your questions and explain the situation.
