I have been debating over this for over a month. But have decided you guys are the right ones to help, plus realized I have the power to say no, so the debate is over.
I hope you will continue to read, because you may know the RIGHT person.
We have this itty bitty colt, Opie, He was born at 16" and is now up to 23" at 4 months. I do not have enough space on this forum to tell you how incredibly special this guy is. He makes me laugh EVERY time I am out at the barn. He has a special sense about him I have never seen in another horse at such a young age. He plays rough with older people, but knows when the person is a child, when another horse here is not feeling good, Opie entertains them, or just stands or lies with them awhile. The vet was over to pull coggins on 2 horses, Opie stood with both of them while having it done. The vet asked me if Opie thought he was dad or something. He is the self appointed caregiver for Prints, and has been for months. He would stand with her forever, only leaving to run to mom for a few minutes to get some lunch. It is the most amazing thing to watch him.
Plus, Opie LOVES LOVES LOVES his people!! My 7 year old grandson who is Autistic, tells me the things Opie says to him. That grandson has another horse here.
Opie has been up for sale, but have tried to stay away from most ways to sell. Because I think there is a special job out there for Opie. And now that you have read his story, do you know what that job is????
Actually, Opie had been sold. Part of a Make A Wish here in Indiana, but things changed with the child, so he is still with us.
I am sure there are tons of things out there that I have no idea about, but you would know in your community. Make a Wish, Camp For Special Kids, A Child with a huge dream to own a horse and could use some help, 4-H person, What else? When reading Opies story did someone, someplace come to mind?
Very very much the right place, right person is what is important. I will do anything to make sure the RIGHT PERSON happens.
Opie is a gorgous little guy. Could be shown. I can lower price and not register him, he has to be gelded if not, can help with transport.
I sure hope this is left here. No, I do not think it should be on the saleboard, I trust the registered members here, and that is why it is posted here.
I know everybody thinks there is something special about one of their horses, but you can ask those who have been to my house, including Sandy S.
Opie just has it.
Now do you know the person who needs it, and I mean, "needs it".
I'm thinking there are going to be wonderful holidays ahead for someone if we can make this happen.
PM, Email, or post here.
Person or someone living with, needs to have knowledge on horses. and would like for it to be ok to post the results with a story for other members to see. Thanks for your help.
