PODRICK
Our first Backwater Colt! Pod and his mother Gypsy were abandoned on the streets of Mysore - he was just a few hours old when we received a call about them. Since both mother and foal were healthy, we left word in and around the area they were found to try and locate an owner. Fortunately or unfortunately, no one showed up. A week later they came home. Podrick was quite weary when he first arrived, shying away from any interaction. He warmed up soon enough though and took to the sanctuary like a duck to water. You can’t help but feel overwhelmed with love when you see him go about his day. When he’s not annoying his mother (who’s got the patience of a saint) or trying to interact with the other horses through the fence, you’ll find him out cold in the middle of the paddock, enjoying an afternoon nap, his tail swishing lazily as he dreams about life on the backwaters. Millie’s already got a little crush on him (no surprises there, he’s stupidly handsome) and she’s jumped the fence right into his paddock a few times now. Not sure how Gypsy feels about that but Millie’s taking her chances. Pod of course doesn’t mind one bit. Little Pod knows he has our hearts, just like he will forever know nothing but love, happiness and freedom here at The Backwater Sanctuary.
