Mouse - Our Rescue - Two Years Later

Two years ago it took six big men to wrestle Mouse into a trailer after being rescued from horrendous conditions by the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. She was under a year old. Skin and bones. Her feet looked like elf shoes. And she was terrified of people. The first time she was pushed into a holding pen for loading onto the trailer she jumped the fence and fled. She was being transported out to Monty Roberts' farm for a bit of behavior modification so she would become adoptable. That's where my stepson Dylan and I met her, fell in love, and home she came with us. This video is of Mouse two years later and was filmed on August 18, 2009 to demonstrate to the supporters of the Animal Rescue League how important they are at their annual fund raiser the end of this month in Des Moines. Without those supporters, and the selfless work of the folks at the Animal Rescue League, this would've never happened to Mouse. Or us. We thank you very much. Read Mouse's story and see early photos on the website www.thesoulofahorse.com/Mouse.htm ... and yes... I do love this song, which is why it was the ending title song for Benji Off the Leash; performed by Duane Stevens and arranged and conducted by Tony DiLorenzo.

Mouse is indeed an American Saddlebred. She is now going up on Malachi's platform, turning 360 degrees and bowing. She's also the most curious horse we've ever seen. We know she has a lot to teach us :)

If Farrah came back as a horse, she'd look like Mouse. What a gorgous mane and tail! Wonderful to see Mouse so vibrantly alive!
