Thank you all so much for your kind comments on yesterday's post of the mare, Taboo, and her c**t, Top Gun. I thought you'd might like to see a photo of the pair when Top Gun was just a tiny little foal. Here he is from August of 2020, snuggling with mama Taboo. Hasn't he grown a lot since then? I know I've posted this photo many times, but it's one of my favorites of mama and foal.

Last year alone, approximately 35,000 domestic and wild American horses were shipped to slaughter facilities in Canada, Mexico and Asia where they ended up on dinner plates around the world. THANK YOU FOR JOINING THE FIGHT TO STOP THIS!

The truth of this made me laugh

Here at Unbridled ...
I will let go of the fear of abandonment and let love heal the wounds of betrayal.
I will sleep soundly knowing that when I wake my world will not have changed.

I will no longer fret over food, nor shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will savor the warmth of the sun, a roll in the mud, and the cool rain upon my back,
and I will take shelter from the elements at my will.
At this Sanctuary, my choices are met with curiosity and respect.

Here at Unbridled ...
I am heard, and given the freedom to express myself.
Even if I am misunderstood, my effort to communicate is honored.

I will be spoken to gently with accompanying caresses upon my neck,
and even if I don't understand, I can take comfort in the kindly tone of the words.
I will know my name amongst many, and rise to its call when echoed across the pasture.
At this Sanctuary, my presence is met with unconditional love.

Here at Unbridled ...
I will never be asked to be something I am not.
I will be loved for who I am, not some idea of who I should be.

I will no longer suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or indifference.
My emotion and intelligence and willingness is appreciated,
and my say is heeded as a gift to open human hearts to the depth of mine.
At this Sanctuary, my desire to connect will be met with dignity and grace.

Here at Unbridled ...
I can trust the hands that touch my body, and do things that don’t always make sense to me.
No matter what they do, I can feel the goodness in their energy, and trust their decisions.

If I am not well, I will be looked after with great care.
If I am scared, I will be calmed with confidence and kindness.
If I am sad, I will be consoled and understood.

No matter how I look, I will be gazed upon with reverence.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too slow, or too much work.
At this Sanctuary, my life is celebrated.

Here at Unbridled ...
I have come home to myself, and I know that it is here that I belong forevermore.

FREEDOM!!! After months (years?) in a pen, these girls are finally home. Never again will they need to associate with humans unless they want to. We'll support them from afar, but not by force; in a setting like this, gentleness rules.
