It\u2019s hard to believe that it is 10 years ago when we found this tiny, helpless wet foal who had been left behind by his band. He was so small, so vulnerable\u2026 and what we had in that moment was a desperate feeling to save his life, we had to succeed in saving his life.<\/p>\n
What followed were long days and sleepless nights \u2014 trying to keep him alive, desperately searching for volunteers willing to feed him around the clock. \u23f0 It took a village of people who cared, and somehow, together, we got him through those fragile first days. Later on we searched and bought him his very own lactating mom, April. She was $2000 we did not have at the time, but we got her anyway and we started gaining our first real supporters.<\/p>\n
Rosco\u2019s birthday is special for so many reasons. \u2728<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t just our first Salt River rescue\u2026 he helped shape the SRWHMG family we are today. The people who stepped up for him, the lessons we learned, the love that grew around this little foal \u2014 it all started with Rosco.<\/p>\n
But the most beautiful part of Rosco\u2019s story is simply Rosco himself. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n
He enjoys his life so much. Running, playing, being with his best friend Pacman, and just being a horse. He was never put on this earth to perform for people or to please anyone.<\/p>\n
We saved him for a much simpler reason:<\/p>\n
So that we could watch him live the happy, peaceful horse life he deserves.<\/p>\n
And seeing him thrive after everything\u2026 makes every moment worth it. <\/p>\n
Happy Birthday, Rosco.<\/p>\n
You will always be the one that started it all. <\/p>\n
