Hello and Welcome to my Blog!

Hello! Welcome to my blog! Lets just start off with why I made this blog and my mission along with it!

What is this blog about and why did it come to be? :
        Well, I am in a blogging class at my middle school. Our teacher wanted us to blog about something important to us and something we care about. I decided to blog about horses that are rescued and/or horses that come from the race track. I want to let the world know that horses also need love, like your very own pets. I have seen many that are mistreated and I hope after the world reads this they will rethink of how to treat their horses (or other pets). Horses that come off the racetrack sometimes are abused, but even if they aren't they still need a lot of work because they are taught to GO GO GO! They are usually a bit jittery too because of the exitement of racing. When we get rescues, a lot of them are scared of people because of the way they are treated. It is very horrible, to me its just like abusing a person, and I wish more people would get in trouble for it! ANIMAL ABUSE IS NEVER OKAY!

My Rescue Horse:
         I do own a rescue horse, her full name that I renamed her is Fast Track Mama, but we just call her Mama. She was neglected, she wasnt ridden for a couple of years, and she was just bred for 3 years straight (which isnt always a bad thing but when a horse isn't worked that long then yeah its sorta bad). She was skinnish when I got her and her 3 foals were also rescued and in bad condition. Mama is around 20 years old and she is retired from me showing her for 2 years. She is being leased by a small mother and her 2 yr old son and they love her a lot! She is an American Bashkir Curly horse (i really don't want to explain it though so google it lol) so she is very calm and bombproof. My trainer has used her for lessons for as long as she has been at our barn. She is a wonderful horse, but she was treated badly, but now she has a loving home :)

Please Treat All Animals with Respect, They Might Not be Human, but they still have Feelings and a Soul!

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog! Please continue to read on!
