Olaf is an approximately 12 year old gelding. He was found wandering estray (yes, like a stray dog!) in October. The sheriff's department picked him up and tried to find his owner for several weeks, but no one seemed to know where he belonged.That's when they asked Bluebonnet to take him in.

When he arrived, he was very thin and had a large growth on his right eyelid.His veterinarian believed it was a squamous cell carcinoma, and she discovered another growth on his eyeball, also likely a squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, he had a few growths on his muzzle, also all likely to be squamous cell carcinomas. He's undergoing treatment and will likely lose his eyeball.

Despite the rough condition of his body, Olaf seems to be a sweet guy. He's a little reserved but once he gets to know you, he seems to prefer the company of people to that of horses. We think he may be a Tennessee Walker or a cross, and we cannot wait to see what he knows once he's recovered and is healthy.
