Mesquite’s adopter Cory recently shared some thoughts on their relationship:
Mesquite is ALL ARAB! A hot, opinionated, so extremely soft, Velcro, one-person horse. I love him more than anyone can know. I met and adopted him from SAFE as my friend when he was 11. Horribly starved and proud cut. This year he turns 20. We have a great bond, that he tests every day! And I respect him for that. We have done so much arena work and been down so many trails in our years together! I truly honor this horse for all he has been through yet is so willing to please and is so loving. I often question if my soul is made of such metal.
I have now spent 10 years with Mesquite. We have ridden all over and spent an immense time together on the ground and riding. He is my best friend. A big part of why I wake up every morning whether I am ready to or not, and why I stay up so late at night. I am always there for him, in his need, and would you believe it? He is always there for me in my time of need! We have come so far together! Perhaps in some circles it is not a horse, but anything you may have loved, and experienced, that has consumed your life in the way this has for me. Mesquite, you are an inspiration to me. I love you!
