As an animal lover, I have seen lots of wonderful things, and some awful things to. I realize it is not possible to help every creature, but am thrilled when one is helped.

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen was a man pay $700 for a horse he did not want, simply to let her have a life.

    Great to know that there are still people out there like this man. Sometimes I ask myself if there are still people in the world who are willing to do something for no benefit of their own. This helps.

    What a wonderful true story. You had me crying before I was finished. What a blessing for the mare and her new family. Thank you for this special read.

    For Miranda, and anyone else.. the auction was THORSBY, Alberta. They hold them the first thursday every month.

    The Auction Market is in NO WAY responsible for who sells or buys.. they will not accept horses in no condition to be there (eg suffering in pain – injured or with broken legs for example)
    so please do not hold anything against the auction market itself.

    In fact the family who run that auction celebrate whenever more horses don’t go for meat than do… Harley (a member of that family) hauled the horses that I rescued from the meat buyer for me – and said with a grin that night that he thought the meat man had only gotten a small number of horses from the auction I attended.
