There is a beautiful treasure at the end of this rainbow 🌈

Her name is Arabella

“Bella” as we affectionately call her around home has faced more than her fair share of storms and still shows us kindness and grace. This beautiful little pony mare teaches us the importance of trust and forgiveness and the beauty that can be found on the other side of the storm 💜
