DAMASCUS - A shadow of her former self after years of war, 11-year-old Arabian mare Karen stands quietly as a Syrian veterinarian gently pushes a syringe into her pale gray neck.
"Karen used to be the beauty queen of all horses," said the vet, Ahmad Sharida.
But inside her stable near Damascus today, her hips jut out viciously from her overgrown speckled coat.
