 This is ChaCha Indian Dancer, on March 8, 2006, four months after she came
here. See her pics below to see her improvement.
It appeared to us that this poor horse was simply being managed by morons - they had a fat
quarter horse and hugely obese donkey penned with ChaCha - she simply couldn't compete with these
younger aggressive animals. Am I being harsh to call the owners morons? They told me they
thought she was anorexic .... sheesh. They also claimed she'd been abused "on the
reservation"; but admitted when asked that they'd owned her for 8 years.
At any rate, despite having a recurrent problem in her low back which limits her use of her
left hind leg, she's thriving at TGC.
I took ChaCha at the urging of a local woman who fancies herself a rescuer of
animals. She promised to provide support for ChaCha, but in March she came by and said she didn't
think ChaCha was being properly cared for, or making the progress she expected, and pulled her
support.

In her time here, Chacha has stood mostly alone. She did love Prophet, her stablemate, but he's
always been unattached since Ladyhawk died. And then, the year of Daphmar (2007). She
loved that young TB, and he definitely wanted her as part of his sub-herd. When Daph died in
early 2008, she was bereft, and turned again to Prophet, who this time was willing to take her and
Topper under his wing. She's a strong mare and not every gelding can stand up to her, but
seems happy now.
