Rafiki

Canadian Sport horse, grandson of Secretariat - special spirit to have been in our family. We hope he loves his new home, going to Albuquerque next week.

What's best for the horse...

Our sweet Rafiki - life has been too harsh for him here; the high, dangerous winds, the cold and the ice storm. We found a wonderful home for him in Albuquerque where he will have a cover, walls, turn out, love and all the things he needs. It is so hard to give a horse up that you adore - except for when you know you're doing what is best for HIM!

Helping by teaching

Susie was taught how to walk again after her injury (radial nerve paralysis after a night time incident with a train) by using a clicker to mark the desired behavior (any attempt at lifting the shoulder or bringing the injured leg forward). This was always followed by a treat.
