I don't know what spurred this on, but it happened and it's very touching to me...

If you don't know Lady's (the mare) past, you can't understand the meaning of this.

Before a good friend of mine and I rescued her, she was starved, physically and mentally abused for nearly three years. She was trumatized to the point where she literally trusted no one. She was terrified of men, and even with all the work we've done with her, she's still uneasy around them.

When we got her, you could see her ribs and was severly under muscled because of being confined to a 10'x10' paddock for the long years without adiquate exercise. She had become socially deprived of both equine and humans and even now after being rescued for almost two years, screams if she's alone.

Scars are still apparent even now - both physically and mentally. Though, she had made a complete turn around. Instead of being dirt paddock, she has 10 acreas to freely roam with her small herd of my gelding and her 'grandfather' (just our older horse) Sar. She also fully trusts my friend and I and is becoming more and more used to new things everyday.

To my mare, Lady, the strongest, most beautiful horse I've ever met.
