Luck With a Kiss: A Volunteer’s Unexpected Adoption

When Tonya Chaney first began volunteering with Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue, she was not looking for a horse of her own. Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue is a Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredited organization located in West Virginia. At the time, she was putting two children through college and thought volunteering at a rescue would be the perfect way to get her “horse fix” without the commitment of adoption. But sometimes, the right horse, or luck, has a way of changing the plan.
