You may recall the little horse that was caught in deep snow and starving. Suzy snowshoed miles a day to bring hay to this animal, saving its life. In the last installment, the Indian who owned Thankful was sort of mean about the fact that someone else fed his horse all winter. I thought Suzy should have been given the horse, so I called the guy a big poop. But I’m wrong.
All winter, I wanted something from that creature. I wanted pictures. I wanted her to come to me when I brought food. I wanted to touch her. And I wanted the story to end with the horse on Suzy’s land, helping her with the farm. I was led astray by desire.
Here’s Thankful, looking happy as can be.
She’s still technically alone, but there are horses across the fence and here she’s hanging around with a pair of birds. The rest of the herd will be dropped off soon, and come fall she won’t be left behind.
She’s a pretty little Indian pony saved by kindness.
Suzy still comes and visits her, and Thankful follows her around like a dog.
YAY!
I’ve been thinking about her since she was ‘claimed’. We need more happy endings.. Thanks for this update.
What a wonderful ending! or, beginning? How nice of Suzy to visit Thankful, she certainly has filled out and is a fine looking filly.
Thanks for the update! It’s really nice to know that Thankful is doing well, and our best to Suzy.
such a sweet story, and Thankful looks so good!
Wouldn’t it be great to see Suzy and Thankful’s story broadcast nationwide on one of those prime-time programs? Too bad the world isn’t full of more people like Suzy.
