Breath with Me
Kira was seized by the police department, along with her herd of 44 starving, abused Arabians. I went to the rescue organization offering to foster a horse, not knowing what to expect. In shock at what I saw, I focused on the gate to the overflow pen, saying a small prayer that the horse who needed me would come to me. Among the frightened, starving mares was Kira, who immediately locked her eyes with mine, walked confidently to me, and made me her own. When she became available for adoption, it was legal, and neither of our lives has been the same. She’s safe forever, growing sleek and joyful - partly from good food, but mostly from love. And now I know I needed her as much as she needed me.
