It’s incredibly difficult to get back into the normal swing of things after going through a tragedy like we experienced last week. We are still in shock, we are emotionally and physically exhausted, and we are grieving. But there are still horses here that need us and who give us a reason to get up and get moving every morning even when it’s really, really hard.
Life does go on.
So with that in mind, today we’d like to introduce everyone to the newest member of the Corolla herd, a c**t named Ember. He was born the first week of July and at a month old is a big, healthy foal with a very bright future ahead of him.
Ember has everything he needs to grow up into a stallion who will one day produce foals of his own - an experienced mother who is taking great care of him right now, a habitat that provides him with plenty of food and fresh water, other horses who will teach him the ins and outs of being a wild horse, and survival instincts that have been passed down through many generations. It is up to all of us to make sure that Ember is never threatened by the things that we humans can control. That includes giving him plenty of space and never petting or feeding him, driving slowly and being aware of our surroundings at all times, cleaning up after ourselves, and being good stewards of the environment.
Every single person who sets foot on the 4x4, be it tourists or full-time residents, property owners, daytrippers, contractors, and everyone in between, has a responsibility to follow the rules and keep these horses safe. Please help us make sure that Ember’s future stays as bright as it is right now.
