Savannah.JPG
Savannah

When 2 month old Savannah's mother, Gayle, died suddenly in 2006 her caretakers at The Grace Foundation of Northern California felt despondent. Listening to little Savannah whinny for her mother broke everyone's heart, she would not sleep or take a bottle and we feared we would lose her to a broken heart. That is when Nikki, a 25 year old quarter horse mare stepped in to comfort the tiny foal. Nikki had always been nurturing to the other rescue horses at The Grace Foundation and she seemed to know that poor Savannah needed a mother's love. When the volunteers put Nikki and Savannah together Nikki immediately took the role as Mother. Not only did she comfort her but she allowed her to nurse and within a few days Nikki began to produce milk.

The healed became the healers... Nikki and Savannah became educators to children in foster situations, group and adoptive homes in programs facilitated by The Grace Foundation.

Savannah is ready to show you the depth of her heart.
