Rimes came to AAE in March 2024 after seizure by law enforcement related to a cruelty case. Rimes was not easy to catch, though once haltered, she led and loaded well when she was picked up. She was thin, untrusting, and lame with swelling over her right rear pastern. Her hooves were very long, especially the hind with the swelling, which probably added to her pain.

Once at AAE, she responded well to pain meds, and was more comfortable on her hind leg. We did a quick trim to the hind to provide some additional relief. After she was finished with quarantine, Rimes had hoof and dental care, vaccines, and deworming, and she got a microchip. Dr. Stolba took radiographs of her hind pastern, and sadly, they showed her pastern had two older, unhealed fractures, one at the top of the bone, and one at the bottom. The bottom fracture appeared close to fusing at the joint; however, the upper fracture has not healed, and there appeared to be complete separation of a piece of bone.
