My One Woman Horse Rescue Business

My name is Theresa Brigner. I hadn't had a horse in my life since 1988 but in August 2007 after being so emotionally moved by the death of my sister's horse "Half Moon", I decided it was time to get back in the saddle again.

While searching for my next horse (and Brenda's too), I discovered a 12 year old Thoroughbred broodmare named Spook N Scoot. She hadn't been under saddle in 9 years. However, I was told she had raced in her younger days.

There was something about this beautiful horse that just drew me to her. Even though I was afraid to ride her and against the advice of family and friends, on August 10, 2007, I bought her anyway.

But my search was still on to find the horse that I hoped to make my western pleasure trail horse. That journey led me to find other Thoroughbreds and unwanted horses and so began my grass roots Arizona one woman horse rescue business that soon became Resting Racers Ranch.

Spook N Scoot.....The beautiful Thoroughbred mare who started it all! Seen here grazing in Utah.
