Shasta, my angel. She came to us in late July along with Tono, who has since found a loving forever home. Because Shasta has a physical disability, no one is interested in her. Horses are worth more than their ability to use for riding, they form close bonds with the people who care for them and provide so much love, joy and healing. We don't ride our cats and dogs, and yet we adore them and pay for their care. I hope to reframe the relationship between horses and humans, which for too long has been entirely one sided. Each and every one of us owe our lives and our modern day societies to horses. On the backs of horses we explored new lands, carried building materials, carved out roads and railways, tilled the lands making way for commercial agriculture, fought and won many wars throughout history, created transportation, the engines of which are still measured in "horse-power". Even vaccines were originally bred in the bellies of horses, which were forcefully infected with the disease they gave their lives to science just so we could have a chance at enhanced immunity.
Thank you for helping me give these horses a better experience, as humans claim every inch of earth for their own uses, animals which once ran free, full of pride and self sufficiency, are now by force 100% dependent on humans. The tables have turned, and it is out turn to take care of these beautiful creatures which have given us all that we have today.
