On the 9th Day, there was Reba!
Reba and her adult filly came to AAE after the death of her owner. Subsequently, family was not able to provide for them. Reba's daughter was adopted some time ago.
Reba was an amazing senior mare that we had hoped to utilize as a program horse at AAE. However, she has challenge after challenge as a "herd" horse at AAE. We made ongoing adjustments to try to keep her happy and healthy! Ultimately, Reba was not happy. We needed to make that right.
We moved her to a foster, and she did much better with a smaller herd and more consistent interaction.
Last month, a beautiful thing happened. Reba, went to her forever home. It was not just any forever home, but the home of a family who knew her former owner before she lost her tough battle with cancer. Her adopter knew how much Reba had meant to her owner; how much love and attention she had devoted to Reba during her lifetime. Once they realized Reba had made her way to our rescue, they knew that adopting Reba was not only the right thing to do, but the perfect thing to do.
Watch Reba with her Forever Family
Reba's life has now come full circle - she will be doted on for the rest of her days by a whole family of horse-loving girls. We are so grateful this family opened their hearts and farm to this lovely lady; and we wish you all much happiness!
