Recently rescued "Spell" was moved into a foster home today to complete his rehabilitation and then begin an evaluation of his training level. Now, he will begin a new life, free from abuse and neglect. He has many scars that show the pain he has endured such as "chains", "soring" and "blistering". These methods are used mostly with the Tennessee Walking Horse breed to get a horse to lift his feet high in a show ring. They are no longer permitted in the large shows, but unfortunately, this still goes on at small shows that are not regulated. Spell will never have to endure that pain again.
Here he is, greeting the mares at his new foster home.
Happy and content, Spell makes himself comfortable.
