Changing Lives, One Horse at a Time!

I've seen this story before but could watch it a million more times. It's amazing how animals can change our lives and fill a space that nothing else could as Shargra's done in Phyllis' life. Being a recovering alcoholic, I know how we need to fill our lives with positive things, while giving back and this is a perfect example of how we stay sober. I don't think about drinking at all anymore, but it's because I've filled my life with God, wonderful people, I give back in many ways which gives me purpose and Lucy is my Shagra! Great reblog GF - I'd love to own a horse some day - they are magnificent animals!

Gayle,

Great message, love Kristine's comment.  Regardless who we are or we have been, we need to surround ourselves with positive, and find the good in everything, i.e., see perfection in every moment.  I think that is why we love animals so much.  I love horses have never ridden one (have not created the opportunity).  I find them regal and elegant.  A

What a great re-blog and I would have missed it.  A truly inspiring post not only about Shargra but Phyllis' ability to overcome ... with a mere $300 she had earned in prison (no less) she spent it on a horse.  And put her love into a creature that was abused and neglected . . . only to love and nurture . . . what a great story!  Love can do so much!!

That horse Gayle truly has a personality, they all do you know. Such a great companion and best friend. Animals can heal us of many of our problems.
