Toughnut is Our Survivor!! Some of his photos may be graphic but, we do not want to sugar coat some of the neglect and abuse that we see and deal with on a daily basis. He was brought home to our rescue On May 21, 2009 after being abandoned by his previous owners and apparently left for dead. His back injuries were so extensive he actually lost some bone which was removed from his back. Without the amazing work of Betty Davison (our President & Founder), & the numerous prayers being answered, Toughnut would no longer be able to grace us with his presence on this earth. He has a loving heart and soul and has inspired us to never give up even when it gets extremely tough. It is amazing that this tough horse survived his injuries and through it all, remains just as sweet and loving as he can be. We thank God and Betty for allowing this wonderful horse a second chance for a life of carefree happiness. After extensive rehabilitation, he has recovered and will be permanent resident at our hilltop farm.
