Poor thing

This is a story about a horse who is allergic to grass. I know! How crazy! The poor horse can't go outside much at all and when she does she has to wear coverings and a hood to protect her eyes. If the grass brushes her she gets welts. She is allowed to nibble a little grass, but she has to eat a special diet of sugar beet chaff and soya oil. She also has to take 15 antihistamine tablets a day. Can you imagine being a horse who can't be a horse? Someone needs to build the horse a great big bubble so she can be outside. If you scroll through the pics on the website that say animals in the news you can find a picture of Pandora the horse after 3 or 4 pics. She is all done up in her hood and coverings. Thank goodness she was owned by people who would care for her despite the high maintenance and cost.
