I hope you have him!!<BR/><BR/>Currently there is 1 horse where I board who looks just like your Shadow. His water was always empty in 90 degree weather. I would fill his water up & feed him when no one was looking. The people I pay board to never said a word about his condition which was dreadful.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't you know, a lady who just came in as a new boarder called animal control. It makes me sorry I didn't say anything before because I was afraid of "offending" someone. <BR/><BR/>You should be very proud for you did the right thing without being concerned about anyone but the horse, as it should be.<BR/><BR/>God Bless You.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763029132038701482.post-1867736464356187232008-09-12T19:35:00.000-07:002008-09-12T19:35:00.000-07:00It is Friday with no new post so I am going to ass...It is Friday with no new post so I am going to assume he is yours.

I'm a total city girl that wishes she could get out in the country again. This whole saga with Shadow has just been heart wrenching. The rush of emotion that I have felt for everyone involved has been intense. You are an amazing woman to step up and do what you had to in order to save this horse from a painful and unnecessary death. You deserve so much accolades for this. I hope that his owner really looks at what she has done in her neglect of that beautiful horse and doesn't do the foolish in buying herself another one. <BR/>I can't wait to see how this story unfolds. <BR/><BR/>MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765191219253926034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763029132038701482.post-49233916684770530952008-09-07T12:41:00.000-07:002008-09-07T12:41:00.000-07:00Very good work!When you go to get him, take a man ...Very good work!<BR/>When you go to get him, take a man with you.
