Rescued Horses
Today is National Adopt a Horse Day and I’m sharing a blog I wrote last year today about my friend who rescues horses.
This is Charger who is now 21 years old and what a difference from when Janis rescued him in 2017. There are seven weeks between these two photos! This shows all the care, rehabilitation and love that was given to this beautiful horse to give Charger a second chance. It’s hard to believe this is even the same horse as when rescued!

But it didn’t stop with Charger, about the same time another horse was in dire need and Janis added Sable to her stables. For the past two years Janis has been busy caring and loving not only Charger but Sable as well. Sable is now 27 years old and has a super happy ending.
A five year old girl and a horse were best friends growing up but through the years as the little girl grew up and moved away, Sable fell on hard times, just like Charger. Janis is a miracle worker when it comes to her love for horses and the frosting on the cake was when the now grown up little girl and Sable were reunited. Janis wrote a book and you can follow the journey of Kiss, Sable!: The Story of a Rescue Horse, here:

Because of people like Janis in North Carolina and the Whippoorwill Horse Rescue in Tennessee the stories of Charger and Sable may have had a very different ending. As for now, they are both romping the fields in their new home at The Farm and being spoiled with so much love from Janis. All these beautiful photos of the “kids” were taken by Janis.
Oh, that’s great! I am glad there are people out there who rescue horses. Thanks for sharing her story.
Jan is an Angel with her horses Jeanine!
Love Janis’ story Martha.. and horses are beautiful animals. One of my favorite books from childhood is Black Beauty and I read it countless times over
Oh I loved reading Black Beauty too Vidya! It’s amazing how Janis gave both these horses a new life!!
