Four years ago, a kind-hearted woman in England named Rachel got a startling call. Rachel worked for an organization that looks after horses.

The anonymous caller said he had found a young horse lying on a bed of moldy hay.

At first, the caller thought the young horse was dead, but when he looked more closely, he saw the horse was alive, though just barely.

Rachel went out to the field to see for herself. It was a cold October day. When she saw the horse, she was shocked. The horse wasn't moving. He was suffering with both worms and lice. It was obvious he had not had any food or water in a long time. He was so weak he could not even stand up.

Rachel felt an overwhelming pity for the horse. She had to hold back her tears. No one knew who the owner was. Rachel made sure that the horse was treated immediately for his dehydration and to get rid of the lice and worms that had infested his body.

Soon the young horse began to have a better life. The organization that Rachel worked for had a beautiful farm in the countryside where rescued horses could go to recover. The young horse, now named "Frodo," loved the farm. He got happier, healthier, and stronger.

Over the next four years, Frodo continued to improve. He changed from a tiny young horse who looked like a carcass into a handsome full-grown horse glowing with health. He had a beautiful white mane, a sleek black coat, and an appealing white stripe in the center of his face. His expression was alert and friendly. Kids visiting the farm loved to pet him, and Frodo loved the attention.

At the end of the four years, Frodo competed for the first time in the Equifest Rescue Championship. Even though he had never competed before, he won the championship crown. Thousands of people cheered as he stood proudly in the winners' circle.

Let this story encourage you whenever you face a difficult problem. Frodo shows that no matter how bad things get, you can always emerge a champion. If you know any people who need some extra encouragement, send them this story so that they can be inspired too.
