Cookie & Genesis Update!

A quick update on Cookie. Teri (foster mom) stopped by last week to discuss Cookie. Teri felt Cookie had been a bit sad. I went to visit Divinity and Cookie a few weeks ago and Teri said Cookie perked up and was upbeat for a few days. But then she went back to standing in the corner watching the driveway as if waiting for someone to come for her. When Teri told me that it broke my heart. We have been looking for a safe place for Genesis – he has been doing well but the others have been picking on him. He’s a gentle giant that lost an eye this past year to glaucoma. He is at risk for losing the other over the next 5 years according to the vet’s at UF. The idea of swapping Cookie and Genesis came to us at the same time! Divinity is doing well but she likes having another horse around. Yesterday, Teri brought Cookie back and picked Genesis up. Cookie was whinnying coming in the driveway – she was excited to be back! Genesis got hugs, loaded right up, settled in at Teri’s, and had a good night. Genesis and Divinity each have their own stall, turnout paddocks, humans that are home almost 24/7, grass, and they gets lots of TLC. We truly appreciate Selby and Teri for taking such good care of the horses! And they are only a few miles away! Cookie stays in the barn during sunny days with Ruby – they have been friends for a long time.

Cookie returning – there’s Ruby greeting her out the barn window!

Genesis – a gentle giant!

Genesis going home with Teri Barrach. He’s such a huge teddy bear – we miss him already!

He’s only about 10 miles away so our volunteers/friends can visit with him!

Sincerely,

Theresa
