2008 Quarter Horse Gelding

Charlie was Lindsay's very first rescue, he was purchased at an auction barn in Western MA in 2013. Auctions are one of the first parts of the horse slaughter pipeline that we try to intervene in. In July of 2015 Charlie suffered traumatic physical injury. He came in from the paddock one day with his front legs shaking. We found out that he had somehow broken his withers (part of his back). Today Charlie Brown deals with residual nerve damage that acts up with the weight of a saddle/rider. It is important that even though Charlie will never be able to carry a rider like he used to, he can still have a meaningful job - it will just look a little different.
