Finding Peace with Horses

The Story of Ace

Saving a Shut Down Horse

Crystal Messer wanted to buy a safe, reliable trail horse, and she thought she found what she was looking for on line: a lovely big bay and white paint/draft cross named Ace.  He was advertised as a horse that would willingly go out on the trail, and had even been entered in trail competitions. She was able to see photos and videos of him in action; he didn’t spook, buck, kick or rear.   She was unable to travel from her home in Arizona to North Carolina in order to ride him herself, but she did all the homework she could to determine that Ace would be a good match for the lifestyle she planned to share with him.

Then she experienced one of the worst things that can happen to a new horse owner;  the horse that she purchased, when unloaded off the trailer at her house, bore little resemblance to the horse that was advertised.
