We had a super special visitor to Boudreaux's yesterday. You may recall seeing Audriana sitting on Buddy last year as she celebrated her 6th birthday with her family. We were truly honored when her mom reached out to us two weeks ago to see if they could come back for her 7th. Percy and Duke gave her all the nuzzles and nibbles, and were rewarded handsomely with an abundance of carrots and alfalfa. Audriana has Rett Syndrome (RTS), a rare genetic mutation affecting brain development in girls, robbing them of their muscular coordination and speech. Audriana's love for horses is palpable, and they get her. Watching the non-verbal exchange of affection between a 1,200 lb horse and a child is a unique and powerful experience. I am so incredibly thankful for the opportunity to facilitate that exchange. #whatsyourstory #horse #rescue #nashville #tennessee #farmlife #rts #rettsyndrome #birthdaygirl #memories
So, full disclosure, #tiktok autocut did the edits, but I shot the video. And as you may already know, horses don't care about sunsets. #rescue #horse #nashville #whatsyourstory #farmlife #horsegirl
Our mission at Boudreaux's is to reduce suffering, and to tell our horses' stories. One of the simplest ways we try to reduce suffering is by shutting up and listening. Sometimes just being heard can ease a lot of pain. Hence the #whatsyourstory on all of our posts. Anyay, here's a peak into our origin story. ##whatsyourstory #horse #rescue #nashville #tennessee #farmlife #horsegirl #listen #mentalhealth #fdt #fyp

Franklin has never met a mud puddle he didn't like. ##whatsyourstory #horse #rescue #nashville #tennessee #farmlife #horsegirl #fdt #fyp #mud #dirty #allarewelcomehere
I saw him eyeballing me from the trough as I walked away from the barn. As soon as I took out my phone, he started moving closer. #whatsyourstory #fdt #rescue #horse #saddlebred #mentalhealth #nashville #fyp
Just a grizzled old mule sharing a moment with his favorite paint. Belle's response to my call was not up to snuff, so I figured I should investigate. She seemed happy to see me and was clearly in need of pets. I was happy to oblige. #whatsyourstory #horse #rescue #nashville
When life gets to be a little much, poems from your youth and horse nuzzles can sometimes set you right. #whatsyourstory #shelsilverstein #dowhatyoulove #horse #rescue #mentalhealth #fdt #fyp #sunshine #horsegirl #nashville

Welcome to "Mister. I think your horse is dead" season, that sweet spot between ice and flies when the sun is warm and the shedding is fierce. #whatsyourstory #rescue #horse #nashville #horsegirl #trending #sunshine
I thought maybe Duke had some important news to share the way he came running up this afternoon. #whatsyourstory #fyp #rescue #horsegirl #trending #nashville #tennessee #saddlebred #stud #horse #farmlife #fdt
