Rescue Story II.
Cali came to us in November of 2007. Her owners were killed in a horrific car accident. Truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and hit a car head on. Killing Cali's owners instantly. The neighbors sold the horses for pennies.
We adopted Cali for $500. She had been sent to 5 different homes in one month and each person just passed her along to the next. We think she was about 5 at the time. She was timid. If you got anywhere near her, she bolted. To just feed her we had to put food in a bucket and leave it overnight for her to pick at when no one was around. Trying to put a halter on her was like trying to give a cat a bath. She didnt want to be touched. She would pin her ears and bite out of fear. It took about a little over a year to gain her trust and let her know she was finally home and she wasnt going to be shipped off again. Now you can brush her. She comes up to you and wants you to just love on her and give her treats. She loves being around people now. She and Jacqueline are best buds.
