Here is an update on Lovely Lily. We rescued Lily last February, not even a year ago. Her friend had already died of starvation. But Lily somehow survived. I thought about her a lot during these below zero temps. I thought about how different this Christmas will be for her, compared to last year. Lily is a super nice horse, beautiful, gentle, she loves people. I cannot believe her owners would just let her and her friend stand out there in the wide open South Dakota Winter with no food and water and shelter. She is registered too! APHA grullo color. Just beautiful. I don't know how these people can sleep at night. If they would just hang a poster up somewhere, someone would want these nice beautiful registered horses. But to just leave them there helpless, suffering, didn't they ever think about them at night, when it was 20 below zero? Didn't they ever think about them? Well, we did what we could. And Law Enforcement in this County, Brookings County (SD), was great. The person who neglected these horses did jail time and actually still owes us $600 and some dollars in restitution. I need to call the County Clerk of Courts and see about that.
These photos were taken today. The snow and trees really did make beautiful background.
