Regardless of past mistreatments or abuses,
these horses continue to trust, and even like, people.
Each one seems to believe that the next stage in its life
will be better than the last; that the next caregiver
will treat him with kindness and respect.
It is always inspiring to see how quickly
a horse can recover from total neglect once appropriate
care is administered. The convalescent period is tackled
with a "gusto" not seen in most human patients.
These pages are dedicated to those victims
who would not resign themselves to an unpleasant fate.
How can we give up when they do not?
