It’s nice to see your horse has worked out so good for you.This will be our third rescue in 6 years.I really didn’t need another horse,but the thought of her going back to maybe be sold in a killer auction was just too much.So here we go again,gonna see what kind of horse she becomes when she knows her home is secure and she has people that really care about her.Some people should never own horses,that’s why we rescued Rosie the pony.Rosie was used as a therapy pony for handicapped children until she foundered.Instead of fixing her problem,they just threw her away like she was nothing.By the time we got her her feet were hopeless.We’ve been able to avoid further founder by watching her diet,and our farrier trims her every 6 weeks.She’s never going to be right but she enjoys the life she has.

I know there is still time, but so I can get a tentative idea of when I’m going to need to be around here to meet everyone or pick them up from the airport, if you could let me know approximately which day and what time you think you may be coming in let me know. Don’t worry, last minute changes can be worked out:) I know that Frog and Blade are coming on Thurs evening, I’m just not sure about the rest.

I’m just really looking forward to our visit and already making plans:) It’s coming up fast:)

Becky

Amazing! (amazingly bad!) Of all people, you would think that the folks who work with handicapped children would not throw away a pony. After all, there are plenty of people who want to throw away the handicapped children!
