;D hello all i wanted to share the pic an story of my first rescue that started it all for me the picture of him was what he looked liked after rehabbing him to this day i think of him often on the days when happy working with the rescues an sometimes when its frusting & heart breaking at times the days when i feel frusted an stress an feel i have had enough of heartless owners treating their animals like objects
we rescued him out of the public sales i had never been to auction before an had went with my friend as she was looking for a saddle what i saw broke my heart their was a trailer that pulled up to the gate when the doors swung open i saw very several very thin horses with poor coats their was a horse that was down in the very back of the trailer so they unloaded the front horses an then tried to get the horse up an he was very weak very very thin horse could barley walk down the isle way so they put him the first stall closest to unload gate as he couldn't go any further as i walked round looking at other horses my thoughts were on that poor horse it nearly brought me to tears they said that auction was gonna start so we went in an sat down when he was finally run threw sale one person had hold of his tail another his head trying to get him in finally auction person said pass the horse OUT the auction staff didn't even bother with a start bid they just yelled out someone way to buy this horse if not get him out of the sale arena well i couldn't stand it so i raised my hand said i will take him after his recovery he lived happy 4yrs with us well cared for an happy he passed over to the rainbow bridge in 1997 he don't what happened but think it was old age we fed him that night he showed no signs of distress an when went out to feed him in the morning he was down his pen so we rushed over an realized he was already gone that nothing we could do SO RIP I WILL NEVER FOR GET YOU !!! I WANTED TO PUT A PICTURE BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO POST IT HERE
