Adopting Sakima – the Wild Horse
Do you ever do something in your life that makes no sense and could end in disaster but you push on regardless, despite the nagging thought of why am I doing this?
I still cannot answer why I made that first call about adopting a brumby and why when I heard about this tri coloured pinto I felt the compulsion to adopt him.
As I discussed his adoption, over several weeks the true nature of the problem with Sakima and why he had not long ago found a new home became apparent. This wild boy was one of the wildest and most fearful brumbies that had been captured in the Guy Fawkes National Park. After several months at the Save the Brumby adoption property the trainers had been able to do little with him in terms of halter starting and gentling him to accept the human touch. He would come in for his hay but fear drove him to avoid any close contact at any cost. He needed a special, understanding home and a place where no time restraints would be imposed on him as he joined the human world.
