MAKINEN, Minn. -- The plea to save a mistreated quarter horse with a broken front leg has been heard around the country, and the filly named MiLady is going to get her surgery after all.
The 4-year-old horse is scheduled to leave Sept. 21 for the veterinary hospital at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, where she has a 60 percent chance of recovery after titanium rods are set in her leg.
The horse has been under the care of Contented Critters, an animal rescue shelter in Makinen north of Duluth.
