Drifter's Hearts of Hope
Barnaby is not the most typical of nominee for an award: he oozes personality, and this personality occasionally manifests itself in grumpy faces and pinned ears.

However, he is one of the most deserving horses we have ever seen at the rescue. He entered our facility severely underweight, with dozens of cuts and scrapes, and his teeth bared. He learned how to protect himself in any way he could, and that protection came in the form of his teeth and hooves.

Several months after his dramatic entrance into the rescue and our lives, Barnaby has learned quite a bit about kindness, love, and compassion. Instead of being greeted with bared teeth, you are now greeted with a (mildly) begrudgingly friendly hello. Instead of being half-dragged to the pasture at the end of his lead rope, he calmly walks alongside you. He is well-trained under saddle, and is a beautiful mover.

Barnaby will be available for adoption to a fantastic and forever home, that looks past the tough exterior and sees him for what we see in him: a horse that had a rough life and needs to know he can trust you. He is gaited and enjoys trail rides, and hopes his forever family does as well!

This quirky and endearing horse would greatly benefit from Platinum Performance products due to the toll that his previous life took on his body. Recovering from malnourishment is no small feat, and products like Platinum Performance Equine and Platinum Performance GI. Thank you so much for considering Barnaby for your amazing products!
