We're getting a baby!!!!
Horse, of course.
We just got our letter letting us know that we've been approved to adopt a PMU foal from Spring Hill Rescue. S/he'll arrive the second or third week of October.
Hi, I joined awhile ago but this is the first time I've posted here. I lost my beloved elderly rescue, Saoradh (in icon), this past March. I can't live without a horse for long, but I'm not ready for another adult horse to suddenly appear in Saoradh's pasture. As I've been concerned about PMU since I first became aware of it (and wrote this: http://www.cyberpict.net/horses/pmu.htm as part of my horse section of my website before I even got to have a horse again...there were 8 years with no horses in my life, that's how I know I can't do that again) getting a baby was the obvious choice.
I had found Saoradh on my birthday, starving in a field, and purchased him the next day which I later found, through the freeze mark on his neck, was HIS birthday! So I sent the application on the weekend of those days this year. I feel strongly that there is a continuation going on.
Anyway, I'm blathering on. As I've been waiting since the end of April to hear if I was accepted, I'm rather beside myself. I still miss Saoradh and always will, but feel that I am honoring him by saving another horse. And I'm very excited to be bringing this new life to our home soon.
