The first few weeks


She's so young, maybe 5 days old. She doesn't want to eat. Being an orphaned nurse mare foal she hasn't had the best start to life. Linda is already getting attached. Is this the right thing to do.
A new halter. You guessed it, there's no turning back. 
The adoption is in the cards.

The Gang

 Kaylee has not been alone in this adventure, she was accompanied by three other foals.

  
   First there is a little chestnut by the name of Wonder
   He has a thoroughbred look about him

Secondly there is the big lug Moose.
They say he is part draft.

And last but not least the little palomino Mimosa.
She is quite the cute little filly.

THE BEGINING


She arrived Easter morning, a small discarded and struggling but oh so cute Pinto. A by product of the nurse mare farms she would have died in the fields or been sold for slaughter had it not been for Linda's sponsorship and the caring of the newly formed "Lucky Horse Equine Rescue". I knew as soon as I saw her Linda would have to take her as her own.
