Oberon

Hello, my name is Oberon, I am a 13 year old TB. I stand 17 hands and I'm really a sweet, gentle and kind horse. I use to belong to a very nice young woman who used me in the equestrian/dressage world. I was given to her because my former owner just didn't want me. I went through some very extensive training to help me compete with others. You must understand that I wasn't used to this, because I used to be a trail horse in Red Rock Canyon, just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Boy, if that schooling stuff wasn't a challenge...let me tell ya!

But, I did it!! My young woman and I had a wonderful year we even won in some of our classes. We started having some problems though, NO I should say I HAD the problems. You see I was injured a few years ago, but no one knew this and I couldn't speak so I had to show them. My young woman and her trainer were very concerned and took me to the best veterinarians and they said I had a bone chip in my right leg. I saw the tears well up into my owners eyes. She knew that our competitive days were over. To top it all off I was her very first horse. Isn't that something, you find someone who puts everything they have into you and then something happens that you cannot fulfill their desires. Darn! I really wish I could have. My young woman contacted Miracle Horse Rescue and explained my situation. She asked if they would take me. They said YES! I arrived not knowing what to expect. As I stepped off the trailer, and looked at my surroundings, I spotted my new Mom and Dad. They were smiling and greeting everyone including me. They had my young woman take me to my stall. Boy you should have seen everyone staring at me and talking. I was pretty popular with the others. My new Mom and Dad assured my young woman that I would be taken care of and loved. My new Mom and Dad walked away leaving me alone with my young woman. She whispered kind words to me, rubbed my neck, fed me carrots and told me that she loved me and that I was the best. Her tears touched my nose, and I tried in my own way to let her know that I would never forget her kindness and all that she had done for me. I haven't forgot her!

Well I have been here a little over a month. Life is great. I have had some problems, but my mom and grandparents have spent time rubbing my leg down with cool water and making every attempt to keep the swelling down and it works. I haven't told my mom I just like her rubbing my leg....shhhh it really doesn't hurt I just like the rub downs. I do make things interesting for them though. My mom and grandma washed me down the other day, and tied me up to dry before they would brush me out. They went back to the barn, but hey it's lonely out there so guess what I did? I chewed through my lead rope and walked back to the barn, all by myself. Clever don't ya think? They were a bit surprised, but I walked up to them and they were laughing. They put me in my pen. Though they brushed me out, I had to add the finishing touch. A good roll. I felt wonderful!

My new family takes very good care of me and all of the other Miracle Horse's. They are out here all the time, cleaning, feeding, grooming you name it they do it. Though the monetary aspect of donations is great as it feeds all of us, but they enjoy having volunteers who give of their time. If you can give in either manner they will be ever so grateful.
