The fire at True Prospect Farm this summer has led to some truly incredible stories of generosity and recovery. Neville Bardos’ recovery from critical care to being literally days away from competing at Burghley has received a lot of attention, but Caitlin Silliman’s mare Catch a Star aka Hoku is experiencing just as remarkable of a journey back to health. Caitlin was kind enough to send us a quick update…

From Caitlin:
Hoku’s favorite part of everyday was to be turned out with the love of her life, Ariel (Lillians beautiful grey mare who was lost in the fire). Last evening I turned Hoku out for the first time in 3 months and I can’t begin to describe all of the feelings of happiness and relief and sadness that Ariel is not with her.
It has been a difficult summer, but today marks the beginning of my beautiful mares final stage of recovery. She can only be turned out for a few hours and has to be closely watched, but as she continues to grow more hair she should be able to stay out all night.
I can’t begin to thank all of the people who have helped us recover, your support will never be forgotten. Hopefully my final update will be from the view between catch a stars ears.
