Starved, frightened and alone on a dusty street in the notorious C-9 Basin horse slaughter area, Stella Nova seemed to have abandoned all hope, accepting death as her fate. It’s difficult to imagine that at one time Stella Nova was a proud, spirited Thoroughbred. Bred from racing super stars like Mecke, Foolish Pleasure, and Alydar, she raced a staggering 42 times, earning over $135,000. For six long years, Stella Nova toiled and gave her all. This was her reward. Stella Nova may have felt hopeless that day in May, but we didn’t. We got to work. We knew what Stella Nova could not know. This was the luckiest day of her life! | | Today Stella Nova iss Five Months into her recovery at our rescue ranch. She's regaining her health, her hope and her will to live. She 's learning to trust again. Yet Stella Nova is just one of sixty horses at our rescue ranch. Each one has a compelling story of abuse and neglect. Each one wants a life, a future, and someone to love them. That's exactly what the South Florida S.P.C.A. provides. Please help us continue our work of turning misery into miracles by purchasing your tickets for the WGC-Cadillac Championship . |
