00:00This is Mr. Firecracker.

00:16Firecracker actually is a six and a half year old thoroughbred gelding.

00:19He was rescued from Ventura Shelter when a property was seized in Fraser Park.

00:24They were breeding thoroughbred raised horses.

00:26We went up and rescued him when he was about two years old.

00:30He was skin and bones.

00:31You could see every single bone in his body.

00:34He walked around with his head sunken down, had no hope, no hope left in him.

00:39And we've had him about three and a half years.

00:41As time progressed, the more that he got hands on, and he felt that we were here to help

00:46him and not hurt him, plus spoiling him a little bit, has completely turned his personality

00:51around.

00:52And he's just, he's a happy, loving goofball is what he is.

00:56We had to make four trips up to Ventura Shelter to try to get him into a trailer.

01:00He wouldn't go into a trailer.

01:01The fourth time that we went up to get him, I was backing up into the trailer.

01:05I fell, landed on my head, dropped the lead rope.

01:08He came up.

01:09And when he came down, I thought my face was going to be smashed, I thought I was going

01:13to be dead.

01:14When he came down, he straddled me.

01:16And from that point on, I felt like we had a connection.

01:19And we do, we do.

01:21He's actually my horse now because I groveled and begged and cried if I could adopt him.

01:25If I could put him in my pocket and take him with me every day, I would.

01:30But what I do is I have him in my heart every day.

01:32So that makes all the difference.
