Adopting the right horse
Danielle, having had horses as a child, wanted to introduce her own children to the rewards and responsibility of horsemanship and contacted the Harmony Equine Center with the characteristics she was hoping to nd in a new equine companion. She knew she wanted an older, gentle horse that would be good for her
kids to start riding. When
Danielle checked out
the horses available for
adoption on the website,
she stumbled across
Mystery. Who (are you
ready for this?) she was
ecstatic to discover was
the rst horse she had
owned as a child at age 13. A lot had changed in the years since Danielle last saw Mystery. He now requires a special mash diet due to worn and missing teeth and his gait is little slower than before. But none of this discouraged Danielle, she just knew this was meant to be. Having ridden Mystery herself as a child, showing him in the American Quarter Horse Association and the Stock Show, she was con dent he would be a great rst horse for her children, completing a circle in what is the most wonderful coincidence of all time.
It seems that
Mystery and Danielle were meant to meet again.
It seems that Mystery and Danielle were meant to meet again, and she reports that he is tting in perfectly with her family. “He’s been doing great at our property, he is like a big dog and follows us around everywhere.”
It’s an adoption story we couldn’t make up, and one that we couldn’t be more pleased to have been a part of. Congratulations to Danielle, her kiddos and of course Mystery for nding each other again. Sometimes things are just meant to be.
