Meet Gracie and Baby Cakes. These 2 girls were part of a rescue mission of 27 starving and unhandled horses. Cakes, on the right, was not expected to live. She was so weak she collapsed when we were rounding up the horses to remove them from the property. Gracie was also very weak and we thought we had lost her at one point during the mission. Their 1-year anniversary is coming up in June 2009, and we are happy to report that they not only have survived and rehabilitated beautifully, but have done so with gusto. They are both happy, healthy, now love people and are ready to find a permanent home, both girls are just gorgeous! Please come read their whole story of survival, as well as others, at Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation in WI website, www.equineadoption.com
