Opal was dumped, emaciated, at a livestock auction in May of 2023,  having recently lost a foal. She came to us with fellow broodmare Sedona, but, unlike Sedona, she was very hesitant to accept human touch. Opal has been slower to accept human contact, and though she still has some quirky days, Opal overall has made great strides in welcoming humans in her space and accepting haltering, pets and love from us. Opal is still very curious and seems eager to learn about the people world. We look forward to continuing to learn more about Opal as she continues her training.
