The Horse That Became a Unicorn

CAREN VOGT DOESN ’ T THINK SHE AND DIAMOND, A THREE YEAR- OLD HORSE WITH A NUMBER OF DISABILITIES , MET BY CHANCE .

“I believe he knew what he was doing when he asked a Pilates instructor to be in his life,” says Vogt, the owner of Core Connections Pilates Studio in Grand Junction, CO.

Vogt had always been a horse lover, but after her daughters went to college, she started seriously riding, boarding her horse, Rocky, at a ranch near her home.

“Every time I went to the pasture to get Rocky, this other little white horse, Diamond, would run over to me and want to be petted,” Vogt recalls. “He would follow us to the gate and then run alongside the fence, following us for as long as he could.”
