PETE is a wonderful Paint gelding rescued from the KILL PEN in New York. He was holed up with 300 other horses and ready to load into the livestock truck. He was moments away from slaughter in Canada when a rescuer called ANOTHER CHANCE FOR HORSES and told them about Pete. He was saved.
PETE neck reins, is responsive to leg pressure, trail rides bareback and is a big doll baby with other horses in the pasture. He had bruises on the soles of his hooves in the front and was sore. Upon further evaluation, Pete had a severe absess in his left front. With the help of our vet and the skill of our farrier, PETE is on the road to recovery.
PETE and Sarah, my daughter, have bonded. He stands at the gate and whinnies at the top of his lungs when she gets off the school bus or when we step out of our house to walk to the barn. He's such a character. We're glad that AC4H introduced us to Pete and hope that he will be as happy here as we are happy to have him.
