Many equestrian charities and rescue organizations work round the clock to save horses from danger. They are rescued from the roads, equestrian farms, and any other place where horses’ welfare is not taken care of. When those rescued horses seem to adapt perfectly to new life, it becomes a matter of joy for these organizations.

A similar case is of Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue, INC who rescued Armani a few years back. At the time Armani was feral and didn’t want to mix with humans. In the year 2022, he was selected for the Gamilah Unbridled Rescue Liberty Project 2022 and was transferred to Texas. There he was trained and transformed, and his latest update from the charity organization melted the heart of the equestrian community.

The rescued horse after being brought to Texas was trained by Spirited Equestrian, LLC, and cared for by Gamilah Unbridled. He was trained and put into teaching new kids riding. His latest update was shared by the charity organization in a Facebook post that drew the attention of the equestrian community.  The story was highlighted by “We had to do a double take, but it really is Armani…teaching KIDS lessons…BRIDLELESS“. In the brief story, they shared that Armani was adopted by Sarah and seems to be adjusted to the new life. The story was shared with a picture of Sarah riding upon Armani.

The proudest moment for the charity was when Armani took two lessons for less experienced kids and was patient with them. One kid said, “The other horses are great and all, but I think he’s my favorite“. For them, it gave them goosebumps as Armani was the most feral horse they ever had at the stables and to transform that creature into a present one was an amazing job. They felt proud of him and so the online surfers and equestrian community felt proud of them.
