This
is Celedon, also known as Arguounat. We call her Celadon, but because
of her skills she got nicknamed Arguounat in shows after the famous show horse!
I saved her from dying. When her owners abandoned her in an old meadow,
they left her to starve. I took her in, and looked after her, I didn't
know the people who left her there, but I found her.
Me and my friends were out riding down the gravel road. We decided to take
a break in the meadow up near there, and when we got there we saw the
young mare. She was about five or six years old, we figured. We saw she had
been starved, so me and my friends let her come to us and we fed her
apples and oats we brought for our horses. We gave her water to quench her
thirst. Then I took her to my parents, and they allowed me to keep her, so
I did. I called the vet to make sure she wasn't sick, or hurt. Once the
vet said she was okay, I fed her, and looked after her. She was very happy
to be cared for again. Once she was a lot better I trained her a bit each
day, only because she had hurt her tendon, and I didn't want to aggravate
that! And we even started showing together.
Celedon still lives today. She is now about eight years old, and she will
never be sold, and never be given away, Due to what happened to her last
time. She only trusts me and my friends, the ones who looked after her.
She does well in shows and is just a beautiful horse. This is the true
story of how we found her. She looks so much healthier now.
