UPDATE: Garnet Gets to Gallop!

By

When Garnet came to Hanaeleh in August, she had been living with an unchecked breathing issue for a very long time. She had been passed from one owner to another, with her breathing continuing to deteriorate. Her previous owner had tried to determine the issue and had consulted a vet, but they were never able to pinpoint the issue, and by the time she came to Hanaeleh, it had been a very long time since Garnet was able to run or exercise without a serious threat of her collapsing.
