Sometimes a second chance feels like meeting an old friend.

Some horses touch your heart before you even know their story, and this Thoroughbred is one of them. When Sonja, owner and creator of S&D Horseback Riding, first saw him, he reminded her of Rex, a horse who once held a special place in her life. Much older than originally represented, this beautiful gelding appears to have experienced several difficult years, arriving with a healing head injury and skin that scars easily. Despite his past, his structure appears sound and we're hopeful that with proper nutrition, care, and 45 days of active recovery, we'll discover the quiet, dependable horse beneath it all. He was headed toward slaughter before Border Rescue helped reduce his purchase price and Bowie Livestock assisted with transportation, giving S&D the opportunity to bring him home and offer him a second chance.

His next chapter starts here. Your donation helps provide the nutrition, veterinary attention, and daily care he needs to thrive.
