A former “merry go round” pony, he came with so much trauma that he literally shuddered when he saw or heard children! When ACTT Naturally reached out asking if he’d enjoy being a companion for off track thoroughbreds we jumped at the chance to give him the perfect situation! Walter lived out his last years so happily and I know he’s galloping alongside the big horses in heaven today 🌈❤️
Season come and seasons go. Those whose paths we cross are here for a season, a reason, or a lifetime.
We had Walter join our herd 4 years ago. A pony who was reportedly used as a merry go round pony all his life and then dumped.
We found Walter through Horses That Help in Ocala FL.
Walter came to us hating people. We let him live a somewhat feral life, only putting hands on him when necessary for the farrier or the vet.
While only with us for 4 years, Walter made his friends in the herd, had his favorite tree stump for his daily belly rubs and fell victim to human interaction through carrots and apples.
We will certainly miss you Walter. I’m so glad that we were able to make your final years everything that you wished for.
Thanks to Yvonne Moritz for helping to connect us.
We love you Walter. Thanks for sharing your precious life with us sweet boy.
