So I got a message from Polluted Stables, photo included: "katann We recently picked up Diana from New York City where she was being used as a carriage horse. The overworking they put her through has caused some health issues including; arthritis in her legs and also recovering from surgery for her kissing spine. She seems to improving tremendously though! if you want to give her a better life i will send her your way!
".
I wanted to help out with horse's that needed a loving home and since RKO Haven enjoys rescuing horses in need we said yes please send her our way. Diana is her name and she just got here to Texas, we believe that she may be a Vanner cross, not sure, but she is beautiful. Diana is so beautiful I had to fight back tears, I thanked Pollution for telling me about this sweet mistreated mare and that she will get lots of love here at RKO. This mare is not the only rescue that we have seen here at the barn. Kelso was just such a horse and so to was a mustang I call Balthasar. Kelso is a Thoroughbred and so he enjoys track time, because he loves to run. I do not let him run to often though, because of his back ground. Balthasar is one of the horses that owns my heart, he is a Mustang that we adopted from the LMB and he enjoys going to horse shows. Diana will be allowed to finish getting better and stronger after her spine surgery that the Polluted stable did for her and if she can I may let her show in driving class, which is a better way to let her enjoy what she was trained to do. That is ifshe can handle the stress of driving, we will have to see. She will learn to do halter classes too. Thank you Pollution for this wonderful mare. I will be doing Diana's story in my barn page here on SS, so stop by and see how Diana is doing =D
