We would like to share our newest story. This is Java. Java is owned by Joyce and Terry. Java was born yesterday morning and sadly and tragically he lost his mom so our friends reached out to us to ask for a stall and our help keeping him fed, warm, safe, happy and loved. So we said yes abseloutely, bring him. Java just earned his name this morning by our staff becase as we sit here feeding and monitoring him as we are drinking our coffee we quickly learned he loves and finds the smell of coffee intruiging and wanted to drink from the coffee cups (of course we didn't allow this) but his attempts were adorable..... Java will be here for as long as he needs, certainly it will be temporary but as long as he needs. He has been a blessing to us. He is adorable and we are glad we can help him in his loss and help provide him the warmth food and love he needs during his loss. ❤️‍🩹🩵🐎

He really enjoyed grooming and his very first adaptive riding session yesterday! As he went around the ring "Wow" seemed to be his word of the day!
