Pretty Girl - Part II

Our horse for the day on Wednesday, 21 May 2008

David: Surry Hills Australia

 

 
Pretty Girl was meant to go to Perth to live with the station owner, but somehow she ended up in Alice Springs in a yard of over 200 horses that were to be shipped off for slaughter. She lucked out…being friendly she did not get onto the trucks as easily as the other horses and she and one other mare simply did not fit, and were left there with all of the foals. When I found out about the situation I did everything I could to get her and the others to Sydney, where they became celebrities of sorts for the Australian wild horses. The other horses all found homes, and I kept Pretty Girl who eventually gave birth to a beautiful bay filly we named Holly.
 
You’ll know from Jacks story how we came to find Jack…and to this day these two horses really do not show interest in any others, they are happy staying by themselves. Jack is getting more and more comfortable with people, however I believe he will always stay wild at heart. Pretty Girl loves vegemite toast and cuddles…but now and then she can turn it on like the proud wild horse she is.
