A Texas charity says a neglected mare found stumbling down a country road three weeks ago is making excellent progress in its care.

It described the 12-year-old horse’s condition as critical when she first came into its care, with a sling needed to keep her on her feet.
Stella has since rallied under round-the-clock care.
“Stella is making amazing progress,” the charity reported on its Facebook page.
“Stella still relies heavily on the sling, but she is now able to get out for daily walks to exercise and build muscle.
“She’s not out of the woods yet, but she is certainly gaining strength.”
It renewed its appeal for any information on the bay mare’s past. How she came to be wandering alone along a quiet country road west of Fort Worth remains a mystery.
A $2500 reward has been posted by the Murrell Foundation for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for her condition.
Stella has been on a carefully planned feeding program and had received antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, eye medication, and wound cream for the scrapes and bites on her limbs.
