Last fall This photo hit me like a ton of bricks...
We love our pony and it was a really hard decision to make.
I had fostered a couple horses before. 1 - restored to healthy condition and found a retirement pasture home. The other I lost track of and wonder about even still.
Rehabilitating her after the rescue was about 3 years of hard work. To go from a wild pony that had been abused to a pony that trusted all kinds of people again. Big and little alike.
Getting her feet done was the biggest obstacle. I went through 3 farriers before I found a farrier that would work with me to work with her. It took us a while, but now.... Any farrier that is GOOD at their job - can do her feet!
So, when this sweet little lady with a house full of foster children came to meet my pony.... I found out about this wonderful rescue Idea she had formed into a non profit. A place for foster children and their parents and foster parents to all feel safe and comfortable.... AROUND HORSES.!
And so her new story began. It's been a few months now. We keep in touch. I get to enjoy her progress and see how much she has blossomed into the amazing UNICORN I knew deep down inside that she was.
And even still today, I can call and say hey, and go see her for myself. It's so scary to rehome your horse. It's your baby, it's one of YOUR OWN. and the thought of your baby going to a bad place is a night mare no mama wants to have.
Our little girl got a wonderful new home!
And a new big sister!
