Currently, her name is Olive, because she was abandoned in an olive orchard after the property had been foreclosed on. I simply can't imagine. She's a 16 yr. old mustang-mix. I'm enchanted by her, and very anxious to bring her home! She lives at the Nor Cal Equine Rescue, on Phoenix Fields right now. With any luck, it won't be much longer. It's just hard waiting... They permit visits, but by the time I get off work, they've left the Rescue for the day, and everyone is busy with the Western Horse Expo this weekend. I just need to be patient. I do appreciate them taking care of her...she's in fine shape and has really nice ground manners. She looks a little saddle-sassy, but we'll have lots of time to work on that. How in the world can they possibly have time to keep up with the training of all those horses? My goodness!
If you have a heart for horses, give these folks a look...it doesn't take much to sponsor horse care, and they do their best never to turn any equine away, or the occasional dog either. Nor Cal Equine Rescue Donations are tax deductible, and are truly appreciated. If you read any of the stories of the horses they've rescued, it will break your heart. It's amazing the lengths people will allow things to go without trying to find any kind of help. Merely $10 will purchase a bale of hay... Can you imagine how much hay it takes to feed 20 horses?
When we visited Phoenix Fields, there were horses in all stages of condition. Some were well cared for, others were just beginning their rehabilitation. Some horses you'll see there aren't available for adoption...Dottie & Macho Man in particular! Who knows...maybe there's a horse out there that will steal your heart away too!
