The look I get when I show up in the paddock with freshly baked treats 😍
🌟Atticus’ first show🌟
This horse continues to show us why we do what we do. Why we take someone else’s “trash” and give them a chance to be whatever they want to be.
Atticus arrived at his first show with confidence and ease. We didn’t rush this process and provided him a safe place to blossom without expectations.
Thank you @sophietullar_eventing for bringing him along and giving him this opportunity. Huge thank you to @caroleanntullarequestrian for doing all the foundation work to get him here, and for believing in him.
This weekend was a huge success for Atticus, but was made even better by seeing them having fun while doing it ❤️
I asked which story you all wanted first, and Abe won by a landslide.
Every time I sit down to write about the horses here I get quite nervous. My job is to be their voice, to tell their stories, to share their pain and triumph, and to convey how special they really are to all of you. It is a job that I take very seriously, and I always get so scared that I am not doing them justice.
Even though I have shared Abe’s story so many times, I still get the same feelings when I sit down to put pen to paper. What words can I use to show the world just how special this horse is? How do I convey the feeling I get in my chest when he trots up to me? Or the gentleness he embodies around Storey? My job is to try and do my best, and that is what I will try to do today.
Covid was a strange and scary time for the entire world, and it is almost surreal to look back at those times and remember all the feelings we had. At the beginning it was pure fear and the scary adjustments of a new reality we were all living in. By the summer, we were all still scared, but settling into our new life of staying at home. Storey was only a year old by that summer and I was feeling restless of wanting more to my days than mothering between nap schedules. And I found myself scrolling Facebook more and more each day. And on one of those days, I found myself scrolling past an extremely skinny horse with an urgent message of needing help. That was Abe.

Found myself looking at old memories today… and a level of appreciation and gratitude washed over me ❤️

We’ve come a long way in a short amount of time Sundance ❤️🔥. Gaining your trust has been one of my most memorable experiences in my life. ❤️❤️
No one likes sleeping in more than Sundance ❤️🔥
I was always meant to find you my little Sundance Kid ❤️🔥
I’d be lying if I said I knew this day would come…
Today Sudance galloped around freely with no bandages and no pain. She is done with ALL medical treatments and has made a FULL recovery.
I’m sure that many of you wrote her off as a “lost cause” when I was fundraisng to save her. And to be honest, so did I. I did not think she would make it, but I knew there was no way I could leave her behind to die in that hell.
She is truly a miracle to me. And a miracle that came true because of all of you. You all should be so proud for saving this “lost cause” life. And let Sundance serve us all as a reminder that it is always worh it to try and to give them a chance. Congrats to you all for making this happen.
Take this feel good moment into your soul and let it warm you during any dark times ❤️🩹
