The world would be a better place if we had more people like you and your wife. Fantastic story!

And thanks to everyone else. My wife just left to take her to her new home.

you'd think when a trainer had a horse they no longer wanted, they'd give $1k to the person stepping up, not the opposite.

There's some wear and tear on those joints ... great pics. New life of being spoiled by three horse-crazy little girls? Heaven!

Be sure to post the picture of her with her new family, when her mane is braided with multicolored ribbons, she's wearing a pink hat, and is being ridden bareback with a halter by two of the kids at a time :-)

Thanks! She's in the New Lenox area now, which is a straight shot down 355 for us to visit.
