Some Things Never Change



Horses have always been a huge part of my life, but their importance seems to be growing.
For six years now, I've worked for Front Range Equine Rescue. It started out as just a way for me to get my horse fix, but now it has turned into a lifestyle! Working for the rescue, I see so many horrible, saddening, heart-breaking things, but I also experience some of the most powerful and heart warming experiences of my life. I see horses go from starved, skinny, scared horses, to animals that any family would love to adopt into their lives. I don't know how my love of horses started, or where it's going, but I certainly know what it's doing to me now. I work hard every day to help these horses who are unable to help themselves. I teach others how to love them the way they deserve, and I learn what it is I am capable of. The people in the horse world are not like those I've known before. Cowboys and cowgirls are a completely different breed of horse :) It's almost a more sincere, caring, and respectful environment, qualities that the modern world seems to be lacking. I really enjoy all that I do with the rescue, and I so enjoy every horse that I come in contact with. There is not a horse that I've come across that I haven't loved, and I plan to keep it that way!
