RUBY & ROCKET ~
Ruby was rescued this year with her unborn baby. The auctions and kill pens are brutal and many of the most vulnerable horses find themselves in this unfair, evil situation to no fault of their own. Unbridled had eyes on the ground during one of the auctions, there were three pregnant Momma’s going through that night. We said we would save the one that seemed the worst off. That sweet brave soul became known as Ruby. She spent 30 days in quarantine and then came to her forever home at Unbridled. She seemed lost and helpless when she came. She was super pregnant but had obvious signs of neglect. For the next few weeks we surrounded her with love 24/7. Our volunteers would groom her, sing to her, she was with us all the time. Because she was super pregnant, we did not want to turn her out with the others, but knew she must be lonely so made sure she had tons of human interaction. After a few weeks we would turn her out alongside the rest of the herd so they could get used to her and she could get used to them. Om May 7th she gave birth in the pasture with all the herd watching. It was a miracle. Since then she has been a wonderful momma to her baby foal Rocket. They both have adjusted and become part of the Unbridled herd where they will live out forever, never to be separated, but to be loved and cherished for the rest of their days.Rocket is our pride and joy. He is the first ever baby to be born at Unbridled on May 7th at 11:11 am. He is a little spitfire by nature but is the paradigm of love. While his momma Ruby was abused and neglected and saw the worst of life, he was born into pure love and is the example of a soul that only knows love. Rocket is hilarious and curious, trusting and loving by nature. He has quickly bonded with every single mustang and rescue that we have. He is as unique looking as his personality and always has us smiling. He is a mini baby with a huge heart. He will undoubtedly help so many lives as all our rescues do.
