It’s been three years since we first saw her on that memorable day. She had the same beautiful head and tail as all the others in her herd, but something was different. She didn’t move with the grace of the others, bounding effortlessly across the pasture. She had a bit of a hobble it seemed. Turning toward us, she revealed the hitch, her shoulder bone protruding from her hide. Her flesh was torn and bleeding, she could barely keep up with the others. 

Bewildered and troubled by what we felt was her certain fate we began to look for opportunities to end her misery. She made regular appearances over the following few weeks but somehow never quite presented the opportunity we were looking for; or perhaps if the truth were fully told, we weren’t really looking all that hard. Each time we saw her we were increasingly amazed, becoming more and more enamored with her ability to survive in the face of such adversity.
