Tuesday morning

Good Tuesday Morning,

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes for Jerri. A HUGE thank you goes to Theresa.

Jerri had a major breakthrough. We do not know why nor do we try to figure it out but it happened and it was/is a wonderful wonderful thing.

Reflecting back over the last nine months and how Jerri was the day she arrived. There was fear in her eyes, a fighting stance and in a few words, there was no trust of humans. This is all changing and we feel this is such a major accomplishment. We as humans know what how we feel with fear and once we have faced our fears the relief we feel.

I sat outside last night watching Jerri, wondering what she was feeling, if there is a sense of contentment in her life now. I sure hope so. I do know that her eyes have softened considerably and her demeanor has changed all good. It seems that it has been such a long road to travel but the reward for our patience is incredible. Now it is a matter of continuing our efforts with the same patience as we do not want her to have any set backs. Sometimes this can happen, one step forward and four back but you never give up.

Jerri has made great strides in her rehabilitation and we are hoping this will continue and hopefully someday in the future she will be in a position to find her "Forever Home" but until that time we will continue our efforts for her.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day and it brings you a sense of peace and happiness that you make a difference in the lives of family, friends and our Equine Friends. Thank you to everyone for participating in our September Hay Ride!
