I was born in 1989. I am a paint gelding and Deanna's first horse! Before I was rescued, I was returned to a sale barn multiple times because I was not very nice. It was discovered that I had Lyme's Disease and people were trying to make me work when I wasn't able to! I ended up a sale barn where my halter never came off. It was on for so long that my skin got rubbed raw and then was healing over
the halter. Deanna's grandfather bought me to give to Deanna, because I reminded him of the sad horses in the Korean War where he fought. Deanna was 12 and always wanted to ride me. Because of my history, I taught her a thing or two about perseverance. However, I was too difficult for Deanna to handle and she eventually wanted to give me away. Deanna's dad told her that if she did, she could never get another horse again and would have to quit riding. Because of this, Deanna was encouraged to not be a quitter and it also encouraged her to start LOHR to save other unwanted horses, just like me! I have been with Deanna for 20 years and she takes special care of me at the rescue!
