I set up this site as a complete novice in all honesty but I reckon that if I can do this I will be able to make the dream a reality. Rescuing horses and helping people a dream of a safe haven for equine and human in one place. It is important to me to gain insight into other peoples views, experiences, stories funny or sad, so please do not hesitate to leave anything you feel you would like to add. No matter how small every contribution is an important one, it is yours and you are important.
Some years ago I broke my back in a fall from my horse after she reared in fright at the sound of a car horn. I was sure at first I wouldn't walk again and sure I would never ride again. I was even prepared to sell her.
Lying in bed it took me a while to realise it hadn't been her fault but mine because I hadn't trained her to ignore those sounds.
After that I longed to get back to riding and I got better quite quickly. Going down to visit her when I came out of hospital was difficult but when she recognised me and nuzzled me I knew I'd ride again.
Three years later and I'm riding and loving every minute.....though I have now made sure she's trained to ignore the idiots who use a car horn to warn me they're coming.

Dear Freda,
Wow you amazing person! You and your poor horse! It is humbling to me to hear the downright courage you have, as well as thinking it through from the horses eye view. A sudden blaring car horn can make us jump out of our skins never mind a flight animal like the horse. Your bravery, courage and bond with your horse is truly inspiring and I am thrilled you are recovering, eenjoying riding and being together again. I wish you much joy together and send you many good wishes.

A noble aspiration indeed. I wish you every success in your mission to provide a safe haven for those in need of rescue and respite from today's ills. It's beyond my understanding how people can make animals suffer and treat each other so badly. Just as well there are still some people in the world like you.
