Legacy returned to the sanctuary this winter when the family he was placed with several years ago could no longer care for him.  HPS make a policy of following up on horses that have been placed in new homes and a phone call to his new people indicated that there were problems.  The father had medical problems and with the drought situation they were not able to feed the Legacy and his pasture mates anylonger.
 
Legacy is now looking for a new home.  Legacy was starved when he was young so he is small for an American Saddlebred but he makes up for size with his big heart and big attitude.

Before Legacy was rescued, his owner kept him locked in a small shed.  In the evening Legacy's owner would ride him to a local bar and leave him tied up all night until he was ready drunkenly ride him home and lock him back up in his shed again.  Legacy endured this abuse for years.
 
One of our young members worked with Legacy regaining his trust and getting him under saddle to help place him in a home.  Legacy is western trained and would make a wonderful horse for a small rider.
