From Belle: “I am grateful for my freedom to live life the way I wanted to live it. Most people would have decided I was quite useless and would have ended my life as I would have become an inconvenience. I am grateful to live in a place where I can grow old and frail and not have to be the perfect horse or to have ever had to perform to ideals that I could not achieve. I was simply allowed to be me. I am grateful for every opportunity of kindness that has ever been shown to me. I am grateful for the patience that has been given my way. But mostly, I am grateful for the chance to live my life looking for the good in each day – and to have found so much of it.”
