“SOLDIER”…THE MARE THAT NEEDED RESCUE

“Who is this?”

  “Her name is Soldier…got her recently.  She  was in distress…starving and her legs were  

deep in a muddy field…mud about 6 to 12 inches deep.”

“:How did you know about her?”

“Phone call from concerned person who knew me and was aware  I had leased Shenley Stables.”

“Do you own  her now?”

“Yes,  she has an excellent pedigree…we will breed her but first she needs

to get her health back.  Starvation easy to see under the blankets.  But her feet

are now fine.”

“Why was she so neglected?”

“Owner fell on hard times.   She was also under distress and did not know what to do.

Offered me  Soldier for a small amount of money.  She  is worth a lot more.  The former 

owner is overjoyed that Soldier has  such  a nice new home.”

Note:  Owning a horse is  a major commitment.  Many owners find they cannot keep up the costs and have

to make distressing decisions.  Often to have the animal put down.
