Charlie Steps Up

April 26, 2025 Laurie Dearinger

When I look back at Charlie early days at Blue Horse Rescue, and how very frightened and defensive he was, I’m awed at how love and friendship can heal the negative interactions that animals have experienced with humans in their past. I’m so happy that this great big goat gave us a second chance and worked hard at developing trust. His friendly personality and goofy playfulness brings a smile to our faces. Many thanks to all of you for your kindness, friendship and love that you have given this once traumatized big but frightened goat. Now, ‘what a character!’ describes him best!

Interestingly enough, like all prey animals, Charlie decided that allowing his front hoof to be lifted wasn’t a great idea, even if it was his soulmate doing the lifting! Always more to work on but this is a great five minute session getting him ready to be trimmed. Baby steps :)
