You and your family and friends are invited to a presentation and a meet-and-greet with “Molly the Pony” (one of the world’s only prosthesis-wearing ponies) at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine on:

Thursday, August 6th from 4:30-8 p.m.
at the Veterinary Medicine Academic Building (VMAB)
1900 Coffey Road, Columbus, OH

Dr. Rustin Moore, Bud and Marilyn Jenne Professor and Chair, Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, performed the surgery on Molly while he was director of the Equine Health Studies Program at the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine.  Dr. Moore will give a brief presentation, “It’s All About Molly,” at 5 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. in the Wexner Auditorium located in the VMAB; light refreshments will be available near the auditorium in the Hummel Grand Lounge.

Molly will be available on the lawn outside of the building for visitors to have the opportunity to meet her and her owner, Kaye Harris, before and after Dr. Moore’s presentation.

ABOUT MOLLY – Molly the Pony was rescued by Kaye and Glenn Harris after Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, several months later she was injured by a dog that was also a Katrina rescue.  Although her other numerous wounds healed, her lower right front leg was too severely damaged. Her rescuer and now owner, Kaye Harris, advocated for Molly, inquiring about amputation and a prosthesis.

This procedure is rare, with many obstacles, and now Molly visits anyone who could benefit from her quiet wisdom and inspiration. She has inspired people of all ages and abilities. A children‚s picture book was written about her and she has traveled widely to share her story. “Molly the Pony” books will be available for purchase in the Hummel Grand Lounge with proceeds benefitting Molly‚s Foundation. (Cash or checks only please.)

Please RSVP to Katie Kostyo (kostyo.1@osu.edu) or 614-688-8433, by August 3rd and indicate the number of people who will attend.
