Little Richard and Scam were both rescued on November 30th, 2009 from a case of severe neglect. After their rescue, we were able to trace down most of their history and were even able to obtain their registration papers. The story we were told by reliable sources is that Little Richard and Scam were kept at the same barn for years. Because of health issues and through circumstances beyond the original owner's control, the horses were sold to another man and they ended up at a sale. The bids were just not high enough, so the man "no saled" them and ended up selling both horses to another man, who nearly starved the two to death. Investigators received a report and found the horses in very bad shape, but were relieved when the owner surrendered both of them to the rescue.
In December 2009, Scam was moved into foster care for further rehab, but sadly had to leave her long time friend and companion, Little Richard. Then, in June 2010, Scam was moved to a different foster home. At this time, she was totally rehabilitated. Meanwhile, Little Richard remained at the quarantine facility and was also brought back to great health!
Today, Little Richard and Scam were reunited, thanks to Ruth Martin who has been fostering Scam. She agreed to also take Little Richard into her care. Now the two of them can hang out together once again under the shade trees and talk about the good old days. And I think they know, that they are going to be okay now, for the rest of their lives.
This blog is dedicated to their original owner, Richard Dean, a.k.a. "Lucky" who passed away this year. We pray that he can look down and see his beloved Little Richard and Scam; together once again and living a great live with no worries.
