ere's something about
gals and hors — and
dogs, and cows, and all
the animals we fall in love
with. Some have •panded
their love for animals into
busins.
Jane Heath
owner, montana horse sanctuary in simms
As a child in Billings, Jane looked out her front window to see
two young girls riding horses past her house. "I fell in love,"
she gushes. "I started riding when I was eight and got my first
horse at 12." Later, as a Professional Equine Therapist, Jane
discovered a need to expand her rehab services into rescue. "A
lot of these horses have lost their faith in human beings, and
it's a joy to watch them gain weight when they were skinny or
move better after being lame." Justin, an Arabian found stand-
ing over his dead pasture-mate, rehabbed with Jane's staff
for over two years. "His heart was broken when he first came
to us. He would just hide his head in the corner." Recently,
Jane visited Justin at his adoptive home. "He's this incredibly
friendly and relaxed guy now. That's what it's all for."
