Christmas Day Haul to Hell Thwarted by Love
It was Christmas, and Ralphie was the last of the horses that had a shot at salvation before the trailer departed for hell. Only 2.5 years old, he was scrawny and barely broke. He didn’t fit the ideal profile for people looking for a cheap horse: 8-year-old, dead-broke, babysitter gelding that saddles, rides, trains and grooms itself.
No, Ralphie would take some work and commitment, so there he sat on Christmas Day. Thanks to the generosity of donors, Ralphie’s life was spared, and we paid his ticket to Swingin’ D, where he’s been ever since
