LUCKY SPIRIT
In October of 2005 I received a call from a friend that said there was a horse at the Indio pound that had been removed from its owner’s possession after finding the horse was literally starving to death.  I couldn’t believe my eyes, as you can see from the picture just how thin he was.  I loaded him in my trailer and drove straight to my veterinarian who immediately began treating him for starvation.

I will never understand how anyone could intentionally commit this atrocious act to this innocent and beautiful horse.  I hope that whoever reads this story will alert me or any other rescue facility if you ever witness any cruelty of any nature.  I am slowly nursing him back to health and I know it will take some time.  However, he was so worth saving, as he is the most kind and gentle horse, even after everything he must have gone through.  He has allowed me to love him and I believe he has earned his name, “Lucky Spirit.”  You my friend will never want for anything ever again..
