My daughter’s letter:

Hey, so this might seem silly, or just a childish dream, but I need help to save a horse named Rudy.. Let me start of by saying I'm 14 years old from Lithuania.. not the most wealthy girl in the world, but I believe world is full of kindness and love and when you read this, think as of a young teenager writting this as her last hope for help, I'm truly putting my last hopes and my whole heart in this.. now about Rudy..

Rudy's an amazing 14 year old gelding from Poland, I met him in a camp he was highly sensitive and scared of touch, but I loved him from the first moment I saw him, my trainer called him stupid and fat, but with every moment i spent with him i learnt to be gentle and let him take his time trusting me.. after a while he warmed up to me and we were inseprable, after a few moments my trainer tried to ride him but whilst saddling him and putting his bridle on he started being highly alerted and I knew something was wrong, but after a while they put the bridle on, the trainer rode him and he was slow, but truly a good boy.. after that my trainer told me if I try really hard this year and become a better rider for him I can ride him next year so after i left the camp it felt like I left a peace of my heart on Poland.. after a year of hard work I came back to the camp and.. he wasn't there.. I ran to the trainer asking where he is and she just told me he was near the neighbours a few miles away so I felt a bit relieved but I couldn't wait to see him.. after a week or so I came to the stable to get ready for my lesson at the camp when i saw him standing in the stable and I felt so happy I saw my trainer and I was like.. ,,Is that-" and she smiled as said yes we brought your dummy back, unfortunetly I couldn't ride him once again couse nobody rode him for a year after last years camp so they only started to train him again, but i visited him every day and evening and I brought him some vanilla treats, that he loved, even though my trainer said he was fat and i shouldn't give him any more.. then before leaving him again I hugged him so tight and asked my trainer if he's for sale and she said yes, but if noone buys him his owner will be forced to sell him for meat, I cried so hard that night.. I texted my dad told him about Rudy and he said he wishes we could help but my dad doesn't have the money.. after I came back to Lithuania my heart was aching for him back.. through my lifetime of ridding I never found a horse as special as him..

After a few months my trainer informed me that Rudy was sold to a new stable so i tried reaching out to them and they said I could visit him and after a bit i got informed again that he was sold to a diffrent stable and they coudn't find the contacts.. I was so sad I cried for so long until one day they told me they found the stable's contacts I was so happy i tried calling the stable right away! but after a few weeks of calling they didn't pick up and I lost hope and gave up.. after a few weeks I was talking with my friend and I was telling her how hard this was for me, but she said she believes in me, she believes I'll see him again and I said..,, I'll call one.. last.. time'' and they picked up! she said the trainer told her about our bond, but she also told me he was living horribly.. he had teeth problems, that's why he was so sensitive! after that I was questioning.. maybe he's in a good home now.. maybe I should let go of him.. his new owner seems nice.. he probably doesn't even remember me and I was truly thinking of letting go, when my friend from Poland texted me asking for the stables address so she could google what it's like and word on word she said ,, OH. MY. GOD. YOU HAVE TO SAVE HIM!'' I visited the stable yesterday It wasn’t as bad as I expected although I could tell he’s skinny and he’s 14 but his back looks like he’s 25 also he has a bump from overwork i talked with someone and I can tell you what they said:

“Hi Vika 

He is so so lovely, great head, 

but his back needs to treatment.. 

and now probably he is suffer from back pain.

His back looks like he is 25 years old, not 14

his back needs rehabilitation. 

he needs a plan of gymnastic exercises that will rebuild his damaged muscles. 

it takes time, even up to 3 months..

He shouldn't be ridden now because his back is in bad condition. 

I heard this from two behaviorists and horse rehabilitators who work using natural methods and work in harmony with horses..”

“They haven’t seen him they can’t tell if he’ll recover based on photos”

,,he's not ok. He doesn't look nice 

It's skinny, no back muscles, big belly from sitting and standing. If back hurts, you have to touch it. It's impossible to judge it from the photos”

“this muscle is tight or overbuilt. the horse is either overworked or ridden incorrectly”

,,Very very bad, he looks terrible, he looks like he is over 20 years old😞

Unfortunately, you have to think about yourself, it has to be a horse that will make you happy and not cause you problems, worries and expenses. You might be able to get it off the ground, but it's a lottery and it takes a lot of regular work before you get on it 😑 And the tests!! Legs, spine, entire TUV”

I just want to give him a forever home.. I love him so darn much.. please help me save him, currently the stable does ride on him even though they’re aware of his problems and I want to get a TUV done on him but I need money based on that they can judge if he can recover and i don’t care if I can ride him I want to buy and help him recover as much as possible and love him lits even if I can’t ride him but he's so skinny, I'm scared and i do not care if I can ride him or not anymore, I just want my boy.. this might seem like a silly love story, childish dream.. but I can't tell you how much my heart is breaking.. he's carrying a piece of my heart with him that I'm afraid I'll never get back.. my whole world is now surrounding around him, so what may seem like a silly story to you, for me it's my whole world and heart.. please help me save him.. the cost of him is 3000, but I need the extra money to get his TUV and also I need money to hold him at a diffrent stable for a short period of time until we renovate my great grandparents abondened stable so we can hold him there later on, I may be a child, but I believe with your help we can save this little boy.. If I don't reach my goal of 20k it's okay since I do need 5k atleast so I could save him and get the TUV done then figure things out as we go, but the other half would truly help since i believe his medical bills will be high.. plus vitamins and food sheesh.. I know a horse is a big responsibility, but he's everything to me.. and I'm ready for everything and anything, I may be small but I believe This is a big action and a big talk for someone my age.. I believe kind hearted people will want to help achieve this goal.. your donation no matter how small or big won't change the world, but for me and Rudy, our world will change.. I just want to say.. people say ,,I love a horse” couse they like how they look on a horse and I a little 14 year old girl am trying my best to heal a horse not even from my own country even if I can’t ride him.. that’s true love..thank you..I know this is not Typical for someone to donate to something like this, but you’re savong an animal sonce if he’s continued to be ridden on he’ll die, by donating you’re giving him a loving home AND making a young girl’s dream come true..
