Coala Valentine
I was born June 23, 2006, and spent my early years as a barrel racing rodeo horse.
That life came at a cost. I now live with significant arthritis in my right front leg, and I can’t do that work anymore.
I came to Dusty Spur Farm in 2020 and stepped into a new role.
At Spur’n Up Hope, I am a teacher. I work with people carrying pain you can’t see. I meet them where they are, without pressure or expectation.
I don’t need to be ridden to do my job. My presence is enough.
But staying comfortable enough to do this work takes ongoing care.
Your support helps manage my pain and allows me to keep showing up for the people who need this space.
