Born: 2006         Arrived: 2010

 

Clancy came to Little Oak in 2010 as a rising 4-year-old youngster.  The person who bred him had passed away, and his family had somewhat forgotten about his horses.  Left in a paddock for over 6 months, Clancy deteriorated into a very underweight and worm-ridden state.

Clancy has come a long way since then! Although he isn't 'broken', Clancy is a gentle and very obliging fellow who puts his trust in us to care for him.

In his many years, Clancy has also undergone two major surgeries to address an inguinal hernia and has recovered from a significant hoof injury.  Clancy has experienced a lot in his life, but he has taken them all completely in his very elegant stride. This boy has a lot of charm and a lot of heart.

Horses are quite often seen as somewhat of a tool or piece of recreational equipment.  When our purpose for them ceases, we no longer have an interest in "dressage", we don't have time for "pleasure riding", the result is often horses are sold on, with little regard for the bonds they have formed or where they potentially wind up.

When we speak the truth sharing the story's of the animals in our care, we do so to raise awareness of the plight of so many others with similar stories.  The way we view animals, as resources here for us, is the source of immense suffering in the animal world. The truth, told with kindness and integrity, cuts through misunderstanding, and brings light and the chance for change.
