Ranger was a Lake County (Christmas Valley) neglect case. The Lake County Sheriff asked a Douglas County horse rescue for help with some animals surrendered by a hoarder. Ranger, a Shetland mare, a Pinto stallion, and a Mini donkey were taken to Strawberry Mountain Mustangs.
Ranger’s teeth were in horrible condition. The attending vet said most likely they had never been floated. His feet were severely overgrown, but not slippered. Instead, they grew straight up so that if you inserted your finger into the bottom of his hoof, you could not reach his frog. Four inches of hoof were cut off the first trim. His chestnuts were overgrown (about three inches long) and curled. He was also incredibly emaciated and anemic from parasites.
In May of 2012, when he was 14 years old, Ranger was transported to the Equamore Sanctuary. He arrived in very good condition.
He is adorable and when called by name, he comes running every time without fail. He is one of the members in The General’s herd, along with Poquito, Jasmine, Sampson, and Applejack. They can all be seen from the highway by everyone who pass by the Sanctuary.
