Frail to Fabulous
Luna’s Journey to Love and Happiness
"I never imagined that a horse destined for slaughter could become the love of my life, but that’s exactly what happened when I adopted Luna from Flaxen Chestnut Sanctuary. When I first saw her, she was a frail, scared mare with a sad past. The team at the sanctuary had already worked miracles in her rehabilitation, but I knew she needed a forever home where she could truly thrive.
From the moment Luna stepped into my life, everything changed. Her gentle eyes and patient demeanor won me over instantly. Each day, she showed incredible resilience and a capacity for love that I never expected. The bond we’ve formed is beyond words—Luna has become my heart horse, a constant source of joy and companionship.
The transformation Luna has undergone is a testament to the incredible work done by the team at Flaxen Chestnut Sanctuary. Their dedication, compassion, and expertise gave Luna a second chance, and in doing so, they gave me the greatest gift of all. I will be forever grateful to the sanctuary for bringing Luna into my life and for their unwavering commitment to saving and rehabilitating horses in need.
Thank you, Flaxen Chestnut Sanctuary, for saving Luna and for filling my life with so much love and happiness. Your work truly makes a difference, one horse at a time."
