Former Essex Police horse Trojan returns to The Horse Trust after hospital stay

Trojan is now on box rest to ensure his surgical wounds are kept protected and clean. To keep him from becoming too much of a handful, he is being led in hand for exercise. He has also been on our horse walker for the very first time and he was an absolute star! Trojan is only 14 years old so we hope that following this life saving surgery, he will recover swiftly so that he can return to enjoying a gentle life out in the beautiful countryside here at The Horse Trust.

It costs The Horse Trust thousands of pounds to send a horse to hospital. Trojan’s procedures cost £2000 and now that he is safely home, his medication costs £25 per day. Although we are always incredibly relieved that we are able help horses like Trojan, it does mean that extra pressure is put on our resources. We rely on donations from the public to help us provide our horses with emergency treatment when they desperately need it. To make a donation for Trojan, Patrick or any of our other courageous police horses please follow this link or call us on 01494 488464.
