Awesome News!!!

Before everyone heads out for the long weekend, I wanted to share some amazing news. I hinted at it on Facebook but wanted to give you the full scoop here.  I was hoping to post pictures, but it’ll have to wait.

I mentioned not long ago that there was good news about Savanna. Just over a year after we pulled her from the auction, Savanna got adopted!! The best part, it’s a perfect match! How do I know it’s a perfect match? Easy!

The wonderful and amazing volunteer, Britt, from Gentle Spirits who has been working with Savanna over the past few months is the new owner! I couldn’t be more happy and excited for the pair. I’ve seen pictures (head over to the Gentle Spirits Facebook page to see the pics… I’ll try to post some here too when I can switch computers).  These pictures speak a thousand words! The love and caring each has for each other definitely shows!

After Savanna ran through the auction and things were quieting down in the pens, I remember Savanna allowing me to touch her and she put her head into my chest and let out a big sigh. That’s when I knew she was a doll baby with a crusty outer shell that simply needed to be cracked. 

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I’d made arrangements with Gentle Spirits to take Savanna to help her find her a home. She would be lost and her true potential never found had she stayed. I’m so ecstatic to find out that Britt saw the same potential and brought that potential to the surface for everyone to see.

I absolutely love seeing the pictures of Britt and Savanna riding around. It’s a perfect combination.  Savanna is a totally different horse under saddle. She was meant to be a partner, not a baby making machine. I’m just so happy that Britt was able to discover this important fact and that the two can spend years together creating such a close bond.

I always knew that there was someone out there that could bring Savanna to her full potential. That for Savanna to be happy, she needed her own individual person to lavish love and attention that she so deserves and lacked for the first five years of her life. I couldn’t be more proud (although I didn’t do anything).

And if the news couldn’t get any better, it does! Savanna is going to stay local to the area! She’s going to be boarded at a local stable so I’ll get the chance to peek in every once in a while to see the happy pair. 

So anyone that ever says there are unwanted horses, Savanna and Britt are the exact reasons why there are NO unwanted horses. It just takes the right combination of horse and person to bring the best out of each other.

Congratulations Savanna and Britt. I am so happy for you and look forward to seeing both of you grow that special bond that you both deserve. For every horse, there is a special person. For every person, there is a special horse. I’m so happy that in this instance the special horse/special person combination is Britt and Savanna. Congratulations!!
