Andrea was woken to the sound of her cell phone vibrating on the table beside her. One glance at the clock showed her it was 4:17am. There could only be one reason someone was calling her at this early hour.
"Hello, Andrea Gait speaking."
"Andrea - its Jess, we have a rescue op. One horse, code red, I need your help."
"Where are you? I'll help but you better not expect me to take this one, I've got to many on my hands, I can't take another. To many problem horses."
"We're down at Brookstone, get down here asap, things are not going well."
The sentence finished with a click, signaling the end of the phone conversation. Andrea slipped a pair of cowboy boots on, whistled to the pair of Borzoi's that were laying in the living room, grabbed the keys and headed out to the truck. Brookstone was only 10 minutes away, so the dogs hopped into the back of the truck for the ride. Andrea purposely left the trailer parked in the yard, and firmly told herself that she would not be taking this horse. Code red was bad. Really bad.

Upon arrival, Andrea was met with a ghastly sight. The fields were slop, with no water or food anywhere in sight. The hay barn was empty, with only a few wisps of hay to prove that there had been anything there in the first place. Overall, the place looked quite deserted, but the screams coming from the barn said different. These screams were not human. These were sounds nothing should ever make. A group of people were standing outside the barn door, none were talking. And to make things better, it started raining.

"Oh my god, Andrea. Thank god you are here. We don't know what to do. This ones got it bad. Real bad." Jess said, putting her hands over her head in a vague attempt at shielding the rain.
"Alright, I will see what I can do. But first things first. Who is taking him home?"
She was met with a chorus of um's, and uh's, but it was a man named Chris who finally said what they were all thinking.
"Well.. they were kind of hoping you would take him.."
"I didn't bring a trailer."
"Don't worry, I brought one! I figured you would do that. Please Andrea, at least take a look at him!" Jess replied with a squeal.

Without another word, Andrea stalked into the barn. She was met with more screaming and the sounds of hooves colliding with wood and concrete. There was no way anyone was going to touch this horse. He would kill them. And then she caught sight of him. No matter how many scars and how little fat covered his bones, he was gorgeous. He was beautiful. Despite whatever she told herself, Andrea knew she would end up taking the horse home.

"Alright guys, back the trailer up against the barn doors, and get out of the way. He's not gonna like anyone in his path."

Sure enough, as Andrea opened the stall door and lept out of the way, the stallion raced out, ears flattened, and launched himself up the ramp and into the trailer. Doors slammed, and the screaming started again, but the stallion was secure, and he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Everyone headed out, and Jess drove the stallion down the road to Fox Gait Farms. Andrea had the gate open to the round pen and in no time at all the stallion was racing laps. Screaming his defiance at the world. Compared to others, this had been easy. Despite the act, this stallion was glad to leave.

Andrea knew there was something special about this one. There was just something special.

Personalilty - This stallion wants to trust. He has a gentle heart, but every bone in his body tells him not to. Because of his wild instincts, he will be a challenge to train, and some people simply do not understand that. This was the reason for the endless abuse that he face before the rescue. They simply did not understand that his brain told him to run away from the things that were foreign to him. And his biggest sweet spot? Apples, and water. He has an extreme love for both! One of the reasons he makes a great eventer. He certainly has no fear of the water jumps!
