There is a dilemma that all horse adoption charities and rescues face about the adoption process.

We lost a special horse at LOPE. LP's Tiger was a petite warhorse mare whose dainty facade hid the heart of a fiercely competitive dragon. She also was the most complicated rehab case that LOPE ever had (which is a an epic statement).

For us, it was an honor to work with, help and learn from LP's Tiger. Please read my post below to learn more about LP's Tiger, her extraordinary fighting spirit and her invaluable contribution to the veterinary medicine field. Many thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Austin Equine Hospital for their heroic care of LP's Tiger; to After the Finish Line for their wonderful support; to MidAtlantic Horse Rescue and CANTER PA for transitioning her from the track so well; and to the many generous donors who compassionately contributed to her rehab case here. lopetx.org/blog/news-and-updates/just-one-horse/
