A few days after the adoption Julie and Penny, the Arabian arrived at the barn. Marie, my long suffering spouse, Mary, the youngest of 5 children and I waited as the foster parents arrived with the horses. The owner of the barn, Helen was also there with fingers crossed that all would go well.

Almost two years ago my wife and daughter convinced me to go to the Volunteer Equine Rescue Adoption/Sale just to look and think about getting a horse for my then 13 year old daughter Mary.
We had no pasture, barn, tack or even a bale of hay.
