We are all blessed with new beginnings through God's grace,mercy and unconditional love.
Sometimes we may not understand the reason we go through our trials, but God is always there to guide us if we just open our heart and our mind to him.
I have been blessed by God with the opportunity to share my love and my life with some wonderful horses, these are two of the wonderful horses I have been blessed to share my life with..
Kodi and Gabby are both rescue horses who have had their share of trials, Kodi was slaughter bound and Gabby was orphaned at 2 months old.
I feel blessed and honored to have been choosen to be a part of their new beginning in life...
Please stop by often as I will be sharing pictures and updates of our lives together.

The poem below I love, I do equine rescue on a small scale, but no matter how big or how small, I feel this poem says it all and wanted to share it.
"Rescue Me"
The sparkle of life has long since left my tired eyes
Years of neglect have brought me here
A steel hand is all that I have felt
The bang of an auction gavel sealed my fate
But a golden ray of sunshine comes upon me
A soft voice whispers in my drooping ears
A gentle hand touches my tired withers
Although I flinch, I do not feel the sting of a whip
Calming words and a soothing voice ease my fears
A halter & lead rope are gently placed on me
Another trailer stands before me now, I am urged to go inside
I struggle with fear and pull back hard on the rope
Awaiting harsh words and whip lashes, I pull harder
But no harsh words hurt my ears
No sting from the whip piercing my skin
I only hear more gentle soothing words
With fear and trepidation, I step into the trailer
My entire body quivers in fear
A huge mound of fresh green hay awaits me
At my destination, I am gently led into an enormous stall
with deep, soft bedding
A trough of clear, cool water to drink from
A feed tub with fresh grain awaits me
I peek out my stall door to a pasture of lush green grass
I wonder to myself "Is this the Rainbow Bridge?"
The horse in the stall next to me nickers, "No, it's an equine rescue."
