Welcome to our new ‘Community Spotlight’ interview series! Throughout our years in operation as a foster training organization, we’ve been lucky enough to meet horse lovers from all over New England and beyond. From our incredible adopters, to our team of horse care and health professionals, to the amazing instructors we turn to for guidance, this community has grown into a supportive network that truly cares about helping horses. We may come from different backgrounds or practice different disciplines, but when we come together to offer adoptive homes and to share our knowledge and our passion, we can change lives. In this new series, we look forward to learning more about this extraordinary community through their answers to a list of questions.
Wendy adopted Rex in 2021. They live in Massachusetts.
What is one of your earliest memories with horses?
“My earliest memory with horses was my mom chasing them down the street when my neighbor’s horses got loose! And I remember sitting on the webbing of the stall and just enjoying them. If you wanted to ride, you had to clean first!”
What is something you love about horses?
“My love of horses came from a very early age. I grew up around 32 horses that my mom’s best friend had, and they’re just so majestic, so kind and very healing to the soul.”
What is a lesson that horses have taught you?
“Horses have taught me to breathe and calm myself, and to be in the moment.”
