The Weston Family, from Elizabeth, Colorado, were happy to adopt two horses from the Southern Colorado Animal Rescue Black Forest Animal Sanctuary. Candice and David took home Austin (not pictured) and Sinatra (named for his blue eyes). Sinatra will serve as a starter pony for their two children, 4-year-old Savannah and Brody, age 5. Sinatra was rescued last summer after the owner could no longer care for the horse and called the Black Forest Animal Sanctuary. Sinatraís hooves were so overgrown, Tracy Berry, sanctuary operator, described his hooves as ìelf shoes.î The ponyís hooves were so curled he began walking on the back of his hooves and strained his leg muscles. After cutting the hooves and re-padding with new shoes, Sinatra learned to properly walk again. Photo by Angie Moran
