Babbit has a new home

[ClickMini]

There is someone who loves him who wants to give him a permanent loving home.

He will be a companion to their new stallion colt, as well as a much loved pet.

He will be close by where I can check on him regularly.

He will be that close because he will be in my own barn, owned and loved by ME, and a companion to my little Esprit when he gets a little bigger.

Babbit's Tale

"He has an unkind eye," she said,

"No horse for a child,

He is totally wild,

And we are all afraid."

"I am so afraid," he said,

"So lost and all alone.

I started life with light and hope,

Just four short years ago."

"And now I stand at heaven's door,

Perhaps then I'll find peace.

From neglect and disappointment,

Maybe now I will be free."

"I am your friend," she said,

Extending a loving hand.

"You do not have to worry," she said,

"Heaven's band of horses can wait."

The cautious eye rolled toward her,

Is this how it could be?

Follow you to a new home,

And you promise to love me?

The unkind eye has turned now,

Bright and cheery does it greet

His friend with loving hand,

Forever friends they'll be.

OK, that brought tears to my eyes! Bless you.

I loved your poem and am grateful that you will make his dreams come true!

BTW, how is he today?

Pam he is doing really well. His temp has stayed normal since starting him on the antibiotics. He still has a lot of swelling. We've got a couple of weeks of hard work ahead of us to combat this infection. I can tell you that having to spend SOOO much time with the little guy lately is what convinced me that he just has to stay. I just can't imagine handing his lead rope over and sending him off. It just wouldn't be right. Seeing the light come into his eyes and the trust return is just magic.

Just wait until you all see him this summer, once I have time to build up his weight and muscle and really build our partnership! We are going to have FUN I tell you.

Congratulations and I'm so happy that you decided to keep him - it would be so hard for me to foster! As you already know he will repay you for the rest of his life. Your poem is lovely!
