Our rescue horses

Last year we adopted two rescue horses and I thought I'd share photos of them with you :o) 

This is Savanna when we first got her....


Savanna had been starved and neglected.  The rescue had her for a while, but she was still underweight when she came to live with us.  She was on a special diet for many months so she could gain weight.  This is a photo of her from this summer...


This is Logan when we first got him...


He was given to the rescue as a result of a divorce and was extremely easy to spook when he first came here.  He has gotten over a lot of his nervousness since he has been here.  Here's a photo of him from this summer....






They are both such sweethearts and so beautiful to me.  It was a dream of mine to own my own horses all my life and last year it finally came true.  Unfortunately, just as this summer was starting, I ended up with a head and neck injury which made it so I couldn't ride for a while.  I''m hoping that I'll be able to get back to that next year :o)

  2. The horses look wonderful now! How much I envy you, it was a childhood dream of my to have horses, but I think it will stay a dream only. But I always love to see horses and admire these special animals so much!

  3. Thank you for your comments! Yes, these horses are so special. Even though I can't ride right now, I still enjoy going out to spend time with them. It's funny... even the smell of a horse is therapeutic to me :o)
