It all started 28 years ago with a horse named Ruby.
About The Humans That Saved My Life
I am Ruby, a horse.
This is my story about the humans that saved my life and the lives of
so many others like me.
When I was only 7 my previous humans
didn't care about me. They would leave me tied up for weeks without
food and water. In the sweltering Florida sun and heat and torrential
rains I hoped that a human would love me and take away the pains of my
hunger and thirst. One day a man and a woman took me to their home. I
was very sick and for three days I could not stand from the agony of
colic. They would take turns holding my head in their laps despite the
heat, thunder and downpours. They would cry and kiss me and caress my
head and I knew that they were different. Finally I had a reason to
live. My humans tried everything. A vet couldn't help and wanted to
end my suffering. On the third day these humans heard of an old time
remedy that worked. I was able to get up and my new humans gave me a
very large yard to run and play in. I was broken and they made me
whole again.
Over the years my human lady would brush me, feed
me and give me water. She showed me so much love and I needed to show
her my gratitude. My lady has epilepsy and her seizures would strike
almost every day. After what she did for me I felt so helpless. One
day I started to kiss her all over her face to show her how much I
loved her. My humans anguished face began to change and her seizures
mysteriously subsided. I had found my destiny and that was to take
care of the human that so selfishly saved my life.
The man human showed me that not all of mankind are cruel and
mean. He would very patiently trim and clean my hooves, despite my
kicking him several times at first. My fear of him gradually changed
from terror to gratitude for he and my lady human were the first
humans to show me so much care. My man built me a barn, provided me
with food and made sure I had a pasture I could play in and shade from
the heat. The man would care for me when I was sick. Very gently he
would give me shots to make me well. This human man has given me so
much love over the past 23 years, and I hope that I have returned his
unselfish sacrifices for me. I love my humans and I know that they
love me.
Over the years my humans took in so many animals like me. They
were all abandoned, abused or neglected. My humans took care of these
castoff critters and never questioned if it was the right thing to do.
Most of the animals they took in lived happy and full lives, thanks to
my humans. Some were too far gone but my humans gave their last days
on this earth as much comfort and love that was humanely
possible.
All of the animals that my humans took in became my
friends. Me, my humans and all of the other animals knew that we
belonged together. We were all cared for and loved without hesitation
or question.
Does $18.1k sound like too much? That will be our estimated
costs this year. As of 11/12/2015: YTD Donations: $10,846.00 YTD
Expenses: $15,988.67. The other 33% ($5,142.67) is out of my own
pocket.
