How Not to Rescue a Racehorse

When my current dressage horse wants a change in career, I visit Nonette, a beautiful wannabe-retired racehorse at the track with great dressage potential. I find her stuck in a dark, hot stall.

I have no room for her at home and have promised my husband I won’t buy another horse until I sell the one I already have.

But poor Nonette! Having seen the conditions in which she lives, I feel obliged to rescue her. However, my husband mustn’t find out what I’m doing -- he’ll never believe I don’t intend to keep another horse.

Read on to discover how rescuing the pretty mare becomes a nightmare!
