UPDATE ON FRECKLES
Our rescue horse last August, that was within hours
of being euthanized and fed to the wild/bobcat
Sanctuary in Gardner Valley.
Has now been with us for 17 months and has gained
over 250 pounds, and looks beautiful and all the
young ‘TEAM-ECI” riders along with Julie Carter
spend much time with Freckles, grooming, bathing
and working with her. Freckles has HER NEW
LEASE on life, and on January 19th, 2014, she gave
her first up-down lesson to one of our new 5 year
old riders Toria. Freckles was the perfect angel and
enjoys all the attention she gets. FRECKLES NOW
TEACHES MANY BEGINNERS ON THEIR
FIRST RIDING LESSONS~
