Oynx, a kill pen rescue, What an awesome horse you've become!

Onyx arrived at Safe Haven Horse Rescue in May of 2008! He is just a baby, about 2 in this picture. The white spot on his flank is his hair, but the little white spot on the top of his butt is a sticker with his number on it from the kill pen, he was rescued from!

As you can see, Onyx has grown! He is pictured here with his Adopted Dad, Dave! They have built a beautiful Bond of Love & Trust between them. If memory serves me correctly this was taken last year or year & a half ago! The following pictures I took yesterday!

Look at this big boy now!!!! He is really getting gray! He still has the white spot on his flank, & he has added many many spots all over him!!!

Gosh! Isn't he cute? He's a very quiet guy & is curious about everything!!!! The next picture has a big surprise!!!!!

Look who's broke to ride!!!!!! Dave rode him for quite awhile in the arena yesterday & they both did very well! So that little scared fuzzy baby from the kill pen has had some very key people in his life to get him to where is today! Thank you's go out to; Shirley Puga & her wonderful network of people who helped to save Onyx from the kill pens & transport him to Safe Haven Horse Rescue, Linda Richards of Safe Haven Horse Rescue who made room for Onyx to come in & Ashley Ewing in Corning Ca., who is an awesome Trainer, & Dave who gave his heart, time, & patience to the small little guy way back when & to the fine young horse we see here today!!!!!   You all ROCK!!!   Onyx asked me to tell you; THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Bye for now,
Linda C.
