I Dreamed of White Stallions Dancing
I dreamed of white stallions dancing, they danced in my dreams for as long as I can remember. The years past but the yearning for that white dancer never left me. My deepest unchanging wish was to one day sit upon his back so that we could dance together into the sunset. It seemed this Andalusian beauty was a luxury only the wealthy could enjoy & far from my reach, but I swore one day it wouldn't be just a dream, blood sweat & tears, whatever it took I would make my dream come true. I would window shop for hours on end & think to myself "one day, I wont have to day dream of picking one out to buy, it will be real!".
One day I was looking at all the beautiful Andalusian horses for sale online & off to one side of my computer screen I saw something shocking. In a kill pen, I saw one of my dreams just thrown away like a piece of trash! Then another ready to be sent to slaughter & another! There were dozens of them going to be killed! Who could do such a thing? A horse so beautiful, the white dancer I could only dream of owning, the one thing I wanted so badly all my life. I didn't even get the chance to run my fingers through one of these beautiful horse's mane yet & other people were just throwing my dreams away like they had no meaning or feeling. How could they?! I was in tears & so angry, I could not believe what I was seeing but it wasn't a nightmare, it is reality. My heart is broken, first & foremost for the horses I love so much & secondly for the greedy who have so little heart, if any at all, they feel the need to kill other peoples living dreams.
After the hard reality really sank in, I knew even though I had been waiting all my life to make this dream a reality, there was no way I could justify buying my dream horse from a breeder when there are so many being killed. So I took a vow, to never buy a horse from a breeder until US horses are no longer slaughtered. My dream has now changed from buying my dream, to saving my dream horse. ~ Teagan Zavita
