Sunkissed Acres Rescue And Retirement Inc

14 years ago I adopted a young Thoroughbred from Lori - I was introduced to her rescue through one of my friends and I couldn’t be more thankful for the introduction to the rescue and to Lori, who I count as a very dear friend and I am thankful to know her. Her soul encompasses exactly what Rescue is about: hard work, love, kindness, knowledge, and most of all, compassion for these amazing creatures. She “rights” wrongs that are done to these animals to the very best of her ability, and even just the calm you feel when walking into her barn or even standing in her presence is why the horses flourish in her care. She is not afraid to make the difficult calls and she is the one who is there when no one else is. I am so honored to call her a friend and lucky to still be able to learn from her (both about horses and about life!). I still have the same horse I adopted from her all of those years ago - he is retired now and happy in my backyard. He had a lot of soundness issues and she was VERY up front about what the problems were, etc, and ready to lend an ear and advice when I was missing answers both for him, and any other horse I have come to own, over the years. She also taught me the very important lesson that just because a horse is old, that does NOT mean it is thin. I have posted a photo of my (now) 21 year old, cushings, laminitic, hard keeping thoroughbred - who is anything but thin because she taught me how to properly feed him so many years ago. I cannot give her enough stars!
