What’s the Matter with Sabrina?

Superheros

Superheros are different from you and me. They take a path that’s both distinct and sometimes even dangerous. Their inner drive is often sparked by what they see as a great injustice and unlike so many of us, rather than feeling helpless – they roll up their sleeves (or get into a symbolicly powerful uniform of one kind or another) and get to work righting wrongs!

The REAL Sabrina Sparklepants

The Epitome of a Horse Rescuer

Here, take a look at a post she made on Facebook recently:

I had quite a bit of time to think on my drive today, thoughts about life, thoughts about purpose, thoughts about how I got to be where I am today. I never would’ve imagined my life this way but I can honestly say I’ve never been happier. I went to college to become successful and as it turns out I never really did anything with my education.

Success is measured many different ways. Someone asked me what I did the other day and the first thing that came to mind is I save horses. That’s what I do. That’s who I am. I would’ve never imagined a life where I lived in dirty jeans and boots, talked to kill buyers on a daily basis as if they were friends, and having my workout consist of shoveling wheelbarrows of manure, but honestly I couldn’t ever think of a more rewarding life.

Life is short and if anything I want to feel like I made a difference. I hope I am and have the strength to continue to do what I do, save lives. It’s not glamorous but it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done and I’m proud to say I am a horse rescuer.

 

Super Heros

I recently heard a discussion on the radio about the personality portrayed by the Batman character. In fact a psychiatrist has written a whole book about it. The upshot, the difference between the superheros and you and me is that these ordinary folk twist adversity into the power they need to address replications of those feelings as their lives progress. Rather than turn from struggle they approach it face on believing doing so can make a difference.

 

Here’s the audio:. And here’s the book referenced: “What’s the Matter with Batman?”

Their Success is NO Secret!

Secret's New Look

Secret is Saved!

Secret was pulled off the slaughter truck on 1/7/11. She was left at the auction after being used as a broodmare for four years. The only information her previous owner left with her was a note reading “She is a baby MACHINE! Just weaned a gorgeous filly off of her…” At the auction Secret showed almost aggressive behavior on the ground and so was passed up for adoption and landed in the kill pen. When Secret arrived at Natural Horse Savvy she was skinny, with horrible feet, and covered in rain rot with a severe case of scratches. (Here’s a Facebook album of her before and after pix)

“We are so happy to announce Secret found her forever home in July with Michelle A.!”  A perfect match, fate brought Michelle to NHS where she found Secret – who had been returned from a trial only a few days before!

Natural Horse Savv started as a rescue, and quickly learned the problem was education. “But our heart is still in rescue. Each of our lesson horses has a story to tell.” Since opening their doors in 2004 NHS has given over a hundred horses a second chance at life.
