I always refer to Georgia as our miracle/healer of a broken heart. We had an unexpected death of the first horse we purchased who was actually pregnant at the time. One morning, we were expecting the birth of a foal, but unfortunately, received a call about her passing. Little did we know a miracle was in the making. A week later after this tragedy, a selfless lady we had never met and we did not know, was giving us a filly that had been born to our horse that had passed, just 4 years earlier.
This woman had heard our story and just wanted to heal a little girl’s broken heart with the only goal our horse had ever had. Our hearts were mending, but with a lot of uncertainty. We were told that she could only be a pasture pet, she would always be a “bucker”, and our daughter was too inexperienced for a horse so wild. We had pretty much lost all hope in the 4 legs we had already fallen so hard for. I literally would pray to God, “let this horse find a good home because I don’t know what to do with all this chaos we’ve been dealt.” Then my prayers were answered with Olivia Valentine!
Olivia took our green horse with a bad reputation and gave her a chance! She let her be a the baby she is and has never turned her away or doubted her ability. She loves her as her own since day one!! She trained the “untrainable” and the things we were told could never happen, are happening!! From “this horse is too wild” to Camryn saddling her, ridding her, taking her to a shows and winning ribbons on her, to seeing her being a sweet mare for the lesson kids at the barn!! Every step is a blessing and we count every adventure, pure JOY!
