Our second guest this month is Ava, an 11-year-old from West Virginia who adopted her horse, an Arabian/Selle Français cross named Little Man, after reading about the ASPCA Right Horse program in Horse Illustrated. While her dream was to own an off-track Thoroughbred, she found them a bit out of her budget since she was saving up her own money. While browsing the myrighthorse.com website, she fell in love with 14-hand Little Man. Although unstarted under saddle, he showed a lot of potential and was very sound, two things that appealed to her. After her application and screening interview she was approved to adopt, so her parents drove her out to Oklahoma to pick him up. Over the months since then, the pair have been focusing on groundwork and building their relationship. Ava is very thankful for Little Man this Thanksgiving season!
