    She was starved when you rescued her so I can understand why she didn't want to share food. Gosh, wish I could be there to groom her.❤

      I reiterate that the Amish are the main ones that do this to their wrk horses as a basic practice…. After all that are the main group that still use horse power to run their farms and yes other individuals that use horse power for farm work do it too but not on the scale they do it. Buy the way they are notorious for they puppy mills also as they do this on a commercial level. Many rescues try to help these animals out if they have been abandoned but sadly many pups are killed if not up to their standards for resale.

      @@cherylhudson325 I don't disagree with you about how the Amish treat their animals but its not just the Amish that abuse and mistreat animals. I worked for a rescue group in Las Vegas, NV and I saw first hand what people can do to animals and it makes me sick! Animal abuse on all levels no matter who they are needs to be addressed. Animals do not deserve to be treated the way they are sometimes.

Pony cart drivers are issued relief ponies while their ponies are resting. This is the procedure in Cape Town - not sure about other areas in the country.

    I do not understand how any person could starve and mistreat any animal. An eye for an eye people. We all go for a life review in heaven. Those of you who have abused animals will get to enjoy that same pain. I do find a bit of pleasure knowing that fact. Anna is a beautiful horse. I hope she is happy on your farm. Thank you and your husband for rescuing these beautiful horses and taking such good care of them.

    Beautiful halter! Does Anna justice for her great looks. Restoring trust is a long road, Fletcher Farms takes the step-by-step effort to bring that trust back to the abused, neglected, abandoned horses.The public at large is unaware of the fate of horses in the United States. Fletcher Farms makes my day better, we all have a voice, we all can do something, the small gifts add up. We are the shepherds of this earth.

Anna looks so good, happy and enjoying life. Just watching her get a wee bit cross with the donkey at feeding time, perhaps she had to fight to get any food from where she was. These people that are so very cruel to these gentle giants are evil. Blessings to all at Fletcher Farms in Amarillo 🙏🙏🌠💗

I'm super excited that she's going to have a wonderful beautiful life for now on . Thank you and all whom tries their best to save our beautiful horses from being killed or made to suffer from ppl who have no reasons to have any type of animals U know sometimes I wish that the court system would punish the people whom did horrible things too any animals . If they starved them then the people got to be starved , any sort of abusement that person should have done to them . If anyone hurts an Animal and what ever there crime was they should be done the same. Animals doesn't deserve us .

The difference in Anna is incredible. She had no expression except sadness when you first got her. She is now such a happy mare and living such a great life with her friends. I dare say this is the best home she has ever had in her entire life. It was so thoughtful of your husband to put up her heater when she was so thin. The extent to which you went for Anna's
    health and comfort are beyond words of kindness and love. Thank you for all you do for these animals that need care so desperately. They are the lucky ones. I wish we could save them all. The work you do is a step forward toward that. Thank you so much!!
