This mark made by human hands is etched on Rhythm's face.

It stood for halter - a too-small halter left on too long, lack of handling, or the barbed wire that nearly sliced off his foot.

Now it has taken on a new meaning, also the work of human hands and hearts - healing.

It would be fun to watch him move anyway, even if it didn't reinforce just how marvelous that healing process is.

Julie thinks that the non-Saddlebred half of his pedigree could well be Arab, judging by his flat croup and high tailset, as well as his relatively short head. He does advertise his Saddlebred half pretty strongly though!

Even after all that running around his foot appears solid and he may have no scar at all.

For Rhythm's complete story, see the SAFE thread. He will be having a little "brain surgery" soon and once healed will be available for adoption.
