148-OK

                I am innocence.

                I do not know pain, nor hunger. I have never been lonely.

                I seek to satisfy my needs for grass and clear running water, bubbling over a deep green trough.
              
                I was born under shelter and I find comfort from the sun and rain there. I sleep under the stars in soft sand, safe beneath my favorite tree.
              
                I do not know fear, anger, or frustration.

                I am not in bondage, I am not a slave.

                I am free to be me, to play with the geldings and run with the mares.
              
                I am growing tall and strong, I am healthy and proud. I can stand up for myself and I have a herd to protect me.

                I stand beside my dam day and night, not in her shadow but in her reflected glow.
              
                I watch my human with anticipation...hoping for a carrot, an adventure, having my withers scratched or my body brushed. 
              
                I am here 

                -because angels spoke for my dam and saved her life and mine. 
              
                I am here 

                -to cleanse the past of my dam. She has been redeemed through me and through her those who have sinned against our kind. I am here to make everything pure again-to wash away pain and indifference. 
              
                I am innocence. I am Tango's Tawni

Here is a 3 YO pic of Tango's Tawni for her webpage as well as a recent photo of Tango. Tango at 16 years old is now slim and trim, plagued by arthritis but otherwise very healthy. Tawni is the calmest thing on earth-very sweet and gentle, totally trusting of humans.

Thank you.
