Angel Bailey, Hi Everyone, I owned my first horse at age 11. I worked all summer to pay for the upkeep and care of Scout. Once school started I sadly had to give him up. But 2 years later I was able to buy another and kept this one for many years, training and showing him until he died after being cast in his stall and ruptured his stomach. I worked at several race tracks with Thoroughbreds as a groom. I even rescued a track pony that had been abandoned by his owner. He had several health issues which I was able to heal, trained him to show, and sold him to a wonderful family as a pleasure/trail horse. Another horse came into my life. An un-rideable, crazy quarter horse the owners had given up on. With patience and many hours of trust building, this horse became the horse I taught my 4 children to ride on. He was also a show a champion for me and my children. I became involved with Voice For Horses and Diana Murphy after seeing an article on tv about some neglected horses Voice For Horses rescued in the middle of winter with no shelter, food or water. I started with donations, and publicity about the plight of these horses. I kept in touch with Diana and have continued to help raise funds and awareness of the growing need for help for the increasing number of abused and neglected horses. I adopted an older Arabian mare from Voice For Horses. And everywhere I go I continue to spread the word about the Rescue and our need for adopters and donations. I never know who may be able to help!
