Despite Abuse, Mustang Filly Can Trust

Dear Readers,
Today I touched Diamond. When I saw the mustang filly in the slaughter ring, neighing for her mother, I didn't think she'd survive the repeated trauma of capture, separation from her family, being dragged by her neck by two men, and being sent to a slaughter auction.
Today I touched Diamond at her wild horse home,
Wynema Ranch and if I hadn't noticed her flattening ears, she might've taken a nip. I didn't blame her.
Diamond was rescued with her family, but her mother didn't survive for long. She has a wonderful home and you can visit her if you like.
Read
Diamond's story and you'll know why she touched
me as I watched this hurt and hounded filly relax, and sling her glossy head over the shoulder of Margie, a volunteer she'd never met before.
Our species could learn so much from horses.
Terri
p.s. Wynema Ranch and
Hidden Valley Wild Horse Protection Fund needs volunteers to help rescued wild horses
