This is Simon, in his late teens Thoroughbred gelding. Simon had a very traumatic beginning to his life when only one hour old, he was viciously attacked by his mother who almost killed him. Although a mother attacking her baby is very rare, Simon did suffer deep wounds which severed muscles in his neck and stomach. He had to be seperated from his mom immediately. Simon was not expected to survive, but he did. Simon was one of the the horses which we rescued just in time from the hands of the killer buyers from the farm which closed down. Today Simon enjoys his life quietly in a paddock with his friends. He is a special horse and we are honored to have him at our sanctuary.
