I donate to Proud Spirit for many reasons, but mostly because it's not easy doing what they do. They've seen a lot of bad things, saved a lot of animals from bad things. But in spite of that, she's posts the most beautiful, heartfelt photos of the animals that live there. And I say "all the animals," because she can't say no to pigs, cats, dogs, or goats apparently. :)<br /><br />Elissa - that is a gorgeous horse, and you too, are a kind soul.

And as always, we are so deeply appreciative of your help. <br /><br />Elissa - thank you for stepping up for this gorgeous boy. How unbearably heartbreaking that Leo had been shuffled around from owner to owner. We are (collectively) failing our horses in this country. Over 100 thousand are sent to slaughter every year - a brutal, gruesome way to die. We need more people like you.<br /><br />Thank you to everyone for your kind comments.

I adopted him at the end of his less-than-stellar racing career because he is a bit of a bad boy and I was worried he'd fall into the wrong hands. Instead, he gets to drive me crazy and make me laugh every single day. Good luck with your new partnership, Elissa! He's very handsome and lucky to have you.Linda Shantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802634921051188131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-31933448042542350872020-06-18T08:47:30.972-04:002020-06-18T08:47:30.972-04:00It blows my mind, the way horses (apparently) chan...It blows my mind, the way horses (apparently) change hands sometimes just as a matter of course. it also blows my mind that somebody would <i>abandon</i> a horse (or any animal.)
