Everyone who met Boova was
captivated by his personality even if they were not a long
eared lover lol.... he wasn't famous, he didn't win any
races and he didn't have an impressive pedigree but he would
very quickly steal your heart.
Boova's story... He was
rescued from slaughter, to be specific he was heading to
Canada for slaughter for human consumption. Boova was a
work mule a cross between a mammoth jack and a Belgian
mare. This cross is commonly used for Amish plow and work
horses. It was a hot August Monday at the New Holland
auction we often attend the auction weekly to help slaughter
bound horses and since there was no school - summertime lol
Selina our youngest daughter and well known lover of
longears attended with me. After the sale we went to look
at the horses who were purchased by a specific kill buyer
and doomed to slaughter without our intervention. We had
"save from slaughter funds" but they were specifically
designated for Saddlebreds and as I was on the phone
negotiating for two Saddlebred lives Selina was befriending
an aged mule gelding who stood tied and trying to hide in a
corner. I didn't notice at first because I was so intent on
the conversation I was engaged in and by the time I looked
over a bond stronger than you could image had formed in
moments... when I looked over here is what I saw... Boova
has hound dog eyes they droop on the bottom and he just
looks super sad to beging with now that you have that
picture add a blonde haired blue eyed angel who you love so
much petting this incredibly sad face both staring at you
and then you see tears starting to roll down her face... it
broke my heart into a million pieces... well then her
little voice said "mommy, you just can't let them kill him -
please help him". That was it I said to the kill buyer
"and how much for the old mule"?? Well the rescue didn't
have funds to save him but we had anniversary celebration
money saved lol... so when I offloaded Boova at home I said
oh honey "Happy Anniversary"
Boova was going to remain a
resident - but we met a couple at the World Horse Expo in
Harrsiburg who came out to visit AC4H and they had no
intentions on falling in love with a mule but their
grandkids, just like Selina formed a bond in moments... all
three of them were literally hanging on his legs, crawling
under him, sitting on him and Boova couldn't have been
happier rotflmao... this is what he loves - children and
babysitting. What was even funnier was the the husband had
also formed a bond with Boova and has been proudly showing
his picture around at work and just hasn't been able to get
Boova off his mind. When Selina returned home from school
that day I explained what happened and you could see how
hard it was for her but she said "Mommy if you found the
perfect home then, let him go". Well it couldn't have been
more perfect... we had waited a long time for the perfect
family and it was worth the wait. Applications were
submitted, checked, etc and it was about 3 weeks later when
pickup was arranged and it happened to be on their youngest
grandchilds birthday they waited because that is what she
wanted to do for her birthday - pick Boova up and bring him
"home". Boova is an adoption AC4H did retain ownership and
they assured Selina she could visit anytime she would like
they even offered to meet half way and take her for the
weekend with the rest of their grandchildren lol... Selina
felt just like Boova and I did that this was the perfect
family. Here are a couple of pictures the grandchildren are
not in here but the proud grandparents are and so is Selina

Hi Rick and Christy, This is an up date on Boova. He is becoming a real stinker. His gate opening skills are improving . Last nite Boova and Justin had a race our of the barn, at a short distance Boova was the winner. He is getting more and more active. He still is a big gentle giant . Samantha is riding him more and more. She wants to show him in 4-H. We thought it would only be in halter, but if he keeps up the racing the morgan, we just might show him in a western class for fun. Samantha is also going to use Justin for her mane horse for 4-H. When we are at shows we are trying to spread the word about your rescue. I already had someone who wanted to buy Justin. I really love him, I didn't think I would ever find a horse I would like as well as I do him. Peggy Sessamen |
