Nowadays it is so hard to trust anyone, especially rescues. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are 501C organizations, or private rescues. Every time you turn around, there is another organization going under for reasons of neglect, cruelty, or even death...
“Okay, I’ll see you at 5”. I hang up, shaking and giddy. A surge of emotion is pounding through my veins. I have agreed to go and see a pony I have been asked to help. But hearing her story, I don’t need to decide, I already know. I arrive on the yard...
With winter on our heels, I make a plan to begin an education for Faith. I have discovered much about her past history and want to examine her potential for future prospects. I am told that in the past she was totally wild and had to be shot with a...
