Dakota River 🐎
Dakota was rescued from a tiny pen where he was being neglected. He was very skinny and had giant wounds that were not being cared for. He was purchased for $300 and immediately taken to a vet for care and rehabilitation. In 2020 a 10 year old little girl fell in love with him. It took time but slowly she began to build trust and a relationship with him. Since then this pair has competed in extreme cowboy races, done Rodeo Queening and lots of rodeo. He now is retired and giving lessons to young kids here on the ranch. Dakota still has a wound on his right side that has never completely healed despite tons of care and even surgeries. The good news is it doesn't bother him, it just looks gross.
