Booger

Booger was born on April 7, 2008.  If the name sounds familiar but the legs look different -- it's because our little Booger has "straightened" up!  He received excellent care while with his foster mom who gave him the care, love and time he needed to get to where he is today - ready for his new home.  Because he is an orphan foal and humans have been his companions and caregivers he has been handled a great deal and is very friendly (oh, and really darn cute).  His mom, Spice, was a rescue who came to us pregnant (her story).  He is an Arabian with some Mustang thrown in.  If you would like to read his story, please click here.  We would like to say thank you to all of you who donated to help with Booger's costs and giving this adorable little guy a chance.  Currently in foster care.
