Happy 14th birthday to Valor!!! 🎉🐎🎊 (race name: Adalida Oak) It’s been quite an amazing journey rescuing a race horse that we could barely touch at first (because he was in such pain/abuse?). A huge “thank you” to many amazing people that helped me along the way (Rachel, Carlos, & Barrett) whom I can’t thank enough! Difficult to believe how many experts & vets told me to take him to back auction & that he would never be rideable! He has several riders now & is doing wonderfully! How far you’ve come handsome boy!!! 🥰❤️ never give up 😊
