A happy ending sometimes takes time, although we are so excited to share the happy news of Freya being adopted.
Freya came to Storm Haven as a very scared 2-year old who had been discarded for reasons we will never know or understand.
What she experienced in her first two years of life will always be a mystery, although when she arrived in rescue she would rather run through a fence than be close to people. Any interaction she had experienced with people had not been positive and she took a very long time to begin trusting anyone.
So we gave her time. Time to relax, time to settle and time without ANY expectations. It has been two-years (YES – TWO YEARS) of patience, love and understanding, She now patiently stands for the farrier, loads, bathes, and responds to verbal and physical cues without concern. She walks, jogs (trots), lopes (canters) inside an arena, out on a trail, alone and with other horses. She is not nervous around equipment, dogs, other horses or new people. She is confident and has experienced enough in her two years in rescue that she is ready to venture out to new experiences.
She has found her special home, with Jana and her 10-year old daughter who are showering her with lots of Tender Love and Care (as well as lots of braids…lol). We are so glad we were able to help you on your journey Freya….be good and enjoy your new family.
