Here's to Happy Endings

Horse Haven has cared for over 700 horses over the past 15 years.  Some of them stayed with us for a long time, some for just a little while.  But every horse leaves a little bit behind when it moves on to it's new home.
Some have an impact on our volunteers by providing a learning experience. Some provide challenges to our staff with either a medical or behavioral puzzle that requires solving . Every horse that enters through our doors teaches somebody something.  And every horse that leaves here takes a little piece of our collective heart with it.

 While Horse Haven's ultimate goal is to find permanent, loving homes for the animals that come to us from abuse and neglect situations, it is bittersweet for our staff and volunteers to see a horse leave.  This was the case just today when Minnie Pearl was adopted by Heidi.

The fact that Heidi is a regular volunteer at Horse Haven and will keep us posted on this sweet girl makes this particular adoption more sweet than bitter.  It's a Happy Ending for all involved!
