Molly The Pony

This story not only warms your heart, but gives you strength to honor the human and animal spirit to live and persevere in the face of adversity in life.  Let this be a lesson to us all that this spirit is strong within all of us and especially in the story you are about to read about Molly the Pony.

 The story came to me by a friend who sent me the email and it goes like this:

 “Meet Molly. She’s a gray speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Katrina hit southern Louisiana, USA. She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled.

While there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier, and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became infected and her vet went to LSU for help. But LSU was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he changed his mind.

 “This was the right horse and the right owner,” Moore insists.

 I am not sure who wrote this letter but the whole story is available in a book written by Pam Kaster of Louisiana.  You can give it to a friend of yours who is battling a disease, who has lost hope, who is depressed and who needs a good story to regain their spirit. It sure lifted mine.  

I have not given you the whole story and omitted parts of it in the hopes that you will get this book and read it all or give it to someone you love.

The writer is Pam Kaster who is a member of the Equine Photographers Network. She also managed a program for disabled riders for three years and continues to study natural horsemanship techniques and lives in Zachary, Louisiana.
