Sometimes, you've got to let your blessings overflow a little bit and this was one of those times. We are all so truly blessed to get to spend our lives with these horses and it's easy for us to forget that there are a lot of people out there who don't get that opportunity , and some that have never even touched a horse! People always ask to meet the horses when we stop at fuel stations, and most of the time I'll let them peak in the trailer but we were taking a break anyway and these guys were so sweet and absolutely in LOVE with Zara. -it should be noted that Zara came from one of my amazing regulars and I knew that they wouldn't mind, and also knew the horse was going to be totally fine-.
We got to do a very impromptu interview for their vlog, and they got to learn about Zara's life as a race horse and her post track life, and we got to answer some really great questions about the racing, horses, and hauling industries that were really eye opening for our new friends. Who otherwise only hear bits and pieces of typically negative media, especially when it comes to racing and where the horses go if they don't quite hack it on the track.
It was a really wonderful experience all around to spread some awareness and truth about our world, and hearing that meeting Zara was THE highlight of their cross country road trip was really touching. Undoubtedly, Zara ate up every square inch of the attention she was getting and her new owners were just as thrilled that their lovely mare brought so much joy to others
