Young woman and her horse screwed over by the system, can you help?

This friend of my daughter and her horse are totally getting screwed over by the system. She's living paycheck to paycheck and this horse is part of her recovery from numerous physical and other challenges.

May we please try to help her out?

Bunny has been my soul mate since she was 3 years old. Her 9th birthday, on July 3rd of this year, was spent with Bunny's vet who confirmed that she is now permanently blind in her left eye, and the neurological damage is so severe that she is dangerous to ride. Here is our story...

Bunny and I have been through many ups and downs. We have fallen and gotten back up, broke bones together in jumping accidents, and won championships with our jumping career. We have had to "start over" with working on the ground after issues and my surgery, and struggled to rebuild our way back up the jump poles. We have journeyed across the country together and moved to sunny Arizona from Connecticut.

Bunny is not just "a horse".

She is the glue that holds me together.

June 7th, 2014, Bunny and I were at a jumping in a horse show up in Flagstaff.

Three days later, June 10, my world collapsed.

The marijuana company across the street from the ranch where I stable Bunny did not correctly bolt down their roofing. The very common wind tore the sheets of metal off the roof, took the 5x10 sheets of metal over their fencing, across the street, and over into Bunny's paddock and over her fence. She scrambled to avoid the metal hurling towards her and ran into the metal fencing with her head, her body flipped over the fence into the next paddock, and she was unconscious for over 45 minutes. When she came-to, her tongue was hanging out of her mouth and she could not stand. After some time people managed to get her standing, and it took another hour and a half more before she was able to take a step.

My Bunny, my beautiful soul mate, is permanently blind in her left (Blue) eye. She has suffered severe neurological damage in which at first it was not certain she would even survive. She has survived, but the neurological damage has affected the connection between her brain and her back legs and the vet said that I need to be careful around her, and she is dangerous to ride.

I want to hop on her and fly over fences, but that is not in our cards now. The marijuana company is giving me the run-a-round and I need help with Bunny's medical bills, as well as a lawyer to get Justice for Bunny. Please help if you can, every little bit counts.
