Drifter, came to Safe Haven Horse Rescue in April of 2009, this is the very first picture of him. He's somewhat under weight, his feet need trimming & the worst thing of All, is that his right eyeball is Collapsed in it's socket! The next picture might be a little graphic for some.
Yes, this is what his eye looked like when he came to Safe Haven, it was Very Painful for him! Drifter needed a $1000.00 eye removal surgery & Safe Haven needed to raise the money for that! That is when a Wonderful Group of People called Fans of Barbaro (FOB's for short) came riding to the rescue, & they, on the Alex Brown Racing Forum, Cheer leaded for Drifter, challenged each other to Match their personal amounts donated & Bumped to keep his story on top of the reading list, until the entire amount for surgery was raised!!! Safe Haven & Drifter are forever Grateful to The Rockin' FOB's! OK, that is Drifter's beginning at Safe Haven, now let's go see what he has been up to!
Drifter went to Summer Camp at Safe Haven! Drifter was matched up w/ little Elayna for the whole week of Summer Camp! They seem to be bonding nicely & helping each other as well.
I'm quite sure that Drifter is thinking Oh Ya Baby Girl that's the spot, right there just keep brushing my neck! Thank You!
So the little girl got on the big ole horse & off they went to do 'Ca. Poles' in the horse show they put on for their parents! GOOD JOB! This is just one pair that took part in Safe Haven's Summer Camp & there will be more pairs to come! & now I'm going to end this pair's Summer Camp with just a picture. Thanks to All, then & now who have been involved in order to make this possible!
Thank you for the ride Drifter, I LOVE YOU!

My daughter had a great time at camp and she absolutely loved Drifter. They were a great pair. We can't wait for camp next year.
