MYRACLE GOES HOME

After Finayle's death, Myracle was having a hard time adjusting. Her mother had been her only equine companion for the 19 days of her life. Her foster, Judy, tried to place her with some other horses on her farm, but Myracle would have none of them, kicking, biting, and bucking. Our little filly was quite the handful and only Finayle seemed able to handle her tantrums. Although she did not need a nursing mother, Myracle needed a companion horse, preferably a mare that could provide her with the kind of affection only another horse could offer.

As a last resort, Myracle was brought to the rescue to see if Sweetie, our 35-year-old "grandma", could soothe the filly.

It worked beautifully. Sweetie quickly responded to Myracle's cries. Unfortunately, Myracle is just too young and rambunctious for the aging Sweetie and a long-term arrangement would be too much for the older horse. Another substitute mom would have to be found.

It didn't take long for Myracle to get an adoptive family. Adopters Dawn and Zach were the ones who initially brought Finayle to HRRF They lived very close to the kill buyer who agreed to sell Finayle. Of course, it would not have been wise for Finayle to remain in such close proximity to her abuser, so Dawn brought her to HRRRF. But with Finayle gone, it was time for Myracle to go to her permanent home.
 

Since Finayle's abuser had recently moved away from the area, Dawn and Zach felt it was now safe to bring Myracle to their farm. Dawn and Zach have a beautiful Morgan mare, named Suzie, who had lost two foals before they got her from an abusive situation. Could Suzie be the right foster mom for Myracle?

Pictures say a thousand words and as these photos show, the introductions went very well. It appears that Myracle has found a substitute mare who can help her get through the loss of her mom.

We wish you well, Myracle and it will be wonderful to watch you grow. We're sure that Finayle is resting in peace knowing that her little miracle is being well cared for. And Suzie finally has a foal to nurture. Miracles happen at HRRRF!
