Rescue is hard, with some days being harder than others. But the number one thing that keeps us going most days, is knowing that just because we can't save them all (even though we try as hard as we can to save them all), but knowing we saved that one. Getting to see them grow with their new families.
I was able to participate in the Rally for the Rescue Challenge in 2021 with a beautiful mare named Luna. After the challenge was over she was adopted but sadly returned a few months later because her training level (green broke) didn't match her new family's need as they were beginners themselves.
Over the time of her being returned back to the rescue (Volunteer Equine Advocates) I have stayed in contact with them on how she was doing and still advocating for her and networking her to find Luna her perfect family. December 2023 we were informed that a volunteer at the rescue was planning on adopting her the first of the year, of which they did February 2024.
We were beyond happy for Luna to find her perfect family who understood her, and loved her for who she is. Rescue's require a little extra love, care, and trust because of their past before being rescued. Like most rescue's, Luna had a lot of trust issues which is how she came to us for training. Since Luna was adopted from VEA we didn't know who adopted her or have a contact for them so we could stay in touch like we do with animals adopted through BAFR.
We are happy to say her adopter, Dana reached out to us two days ago to give us an update on Luna. She is doing great, they are in absolute love with her and have her with a trainer to extend her training level.
Thank you Dana for reaching out and we can't wait to hear about your journey with Luna and updates on how she is doing.
