Thank You Josh.....for looking @ the camera this time!!!! Words can hardly express the "love" this horse has for this little 12 year old girl!
We @ Safe Haven, have watched other riders on Josh....... & he just doesn't give his "all" as he does, when Kayla is on him. Little girl....Big horse......=......LOVE!!!!
Josh came from So. Cal., his owners couldn't afford the much needed eye surgery, to remove a growing sarcoid tumor, on his left eyelid (Ouch!)So we needed to raise funds for this surgery &..&... low & behold... the wonderful... FOB's... came "riding" to the rescue!!! They got together on the Alex Brown Racing Forum, & did some real extensive fund raising for this beautiful guy!!!! It took alot of "bumping" & "challenging" each other to raise the funds but they were ever steady on their "Quest for Josh" .......&...... Safe Haven Horse Rescue.....was able to have the vets do his surgery, much sooner than expected, Thanks to all the "Love" the FOB's sent our way!!!!! What a wonderful group of humans! THEY ALL "ROCK"!!!!!
You can see pics of his eye on the forum, on our website...........www.safehavenhorserescue.org
....just click on the forum, click on horse information, & there you find pics & stories of most of our horses for the last couple of years, find Josh's name, click on that & you then find all his pics we have posted there for him, (Linda was in the operating room w/ Josh during the entire operation, & has some pictures, posted of that) The vets put "the ball" in his eye so he would look like he just had his eye "closed" but Josh had other ideas, & rubbed the ball....out of his eye......we found, THE BALL, in his water trough!!!!!! Josh is still handsome w/out the ball :)
We were worried that "Drifter" might do the same thing, & rub his "rubber eye ball" out BUT thank goodness.... he hasn't. (The ROCKIN" FOB's helped to raise those funds too)
Bye for now, Linda C.
