Success Stories!
"Saint" & Karen Esposito
"Saint"
came to HPAF as a violently head-shy horse. He would not allow his head or
mouth to be touched whatsoever. Luckily Karen came along at just the right
time. Her patience, skill and quiet demeanor was exactly what Saint needed.
As you can see in this photo, Saint is now trusting of Karen and they are
enjoying trail riding. The pair rode in the Davie Parade last year, quite an
accomplishment considering how fearful Saint was when he arrived at HPAF. |

"Valentine",
a beautiful thoroughbred mare,
was rescued by HPAF in 1993 from starving conditions. She had been a
rent-a-horse after leaving the racetrack. Valentine was adopted out to the
Sarasota area in 1993. Last year Valentine went to a new adoptive home in
the same neighborhood with John McDonald. |
KC (before)
KC and his adoptive Mom, Bobbie
|
"KC"
is a beautiful Tennessee Walker.
A former show horse, KC was rescued from the infamous Hoof and Halter case
in Ft Lauderdale in 1999. KC was found locked into a tiny stall
mounded with manure, a dead pig lying next to his filthy water trough.
Affectionately named for longtime HPAF supporter, KC, of KC & The Sunshine
Band, our KC is the sweetest horse on the planet. Blind since being rescued
as a two year old who was headed for slaughter in Alabama, KC lived an
active life as a show horse. This regal horse somehow ended up in a horrible
place where 50 horses had been starved to death in the name of rescue over
the course of ten years. Now KC is safe forever with his adoptive family at
Paradise Ranch in Ocala. KC always comes when he hears his name and is a
favorite of everyone who meets this special guy. |

"Elmoe"
was a feral pony who
was born in the east Everglades area known as the 8 and a half square mile
area. Elmoe, his mother and uncle were caught on May 8th 1999. Elmoe's
mother Trixie and her new foal Violet were adopted out by South Florida SPCA. Elmoe's
older brother, Fez who had been with the small herd, was not
found and caught until almost a year later. Fez is at HPAF and is looking
for a home. Saint
Elmoe's Fire, as he is now known, was adopted by Alice Peterson of
Brooksville. Elmoe has begun his show career and has been racking up the
wins with his mom and his trainer. Elmoe has been returned to HPAF. |
