August 20th, 2017 was an exciting day as we brought home our newest rescue, a little Arabian mare. This pathetic looking little horse was rescued by a friend of Gateway after hearing that the owner was shipping her to the meat auction. She was in very sad shape – bony, neglected hooves, ruined mane…. After three weeks in the good care of our friend, Kira came to join our Gateway family where she is continuing her rehab and now thriving. She has a very sweet nature and is very bright and willing to learn. We look forward to the joy she will bring our staff and students.  It’s hard to understand how someone would discard a lovely horse like this.
