Moonshadow


(click to view bigger)

Moonshadow was found in a Standing room only stall within a Barn, where he'd been for over a decade. With no sunlight, animal or human contact. He was found in NY by his rescuers Jill & Steve S. who took him home and called UIL for help. He arrived on 11-14-04.

It took 2 years of training, as Moonshadow was so fearful of everything around him. He would even attack the other horses. One month prior to our relocation to MT, he was ready for the herd and has been a different horse. We owe much of that to Red Dawn, as it was the love they shared together that helped Moonshadow to be open to love again.

When asked, he chose Moonshadow for his name as he arrived on a full moon and liked the way the light cast his shadow on the ground. True Freedom for Moonshadow!

He is a 24 year old Belgian gelding.
