My Fairy tale… I am the new Kid on the Block and nobody knows my name. First I was
called Mr. Chestnut and more recently “ Prince Chester” N.H.K.M. Let me tell you my
fantastic story…

Once upon a time not too long ago in Rawang, I was a sad, neglected horse owned by
this horrible family keeping me alive to feast on the coming holiday. I was left to
wander around their property for food, find rain puddles for water and trees to
shelter me from the rain. But I am tough, I will not give up – I fed on any greens
I could nibble on, quenched my thirst on rainwater and Mother Nature was kind to me.

Many kind-hearted people try to buy me to give me better life but to no avail- my
master is determined to keep me for food. I was weak, the grass was turning
brown and there was no water about. I wandered further to find food but in my
weakness, I stumbled into a deep drain. I can’t move, I cut my leg pretty badly.
Not giving up, I got up - to my master’s disgust, he tied me onto a tree. My left
leg ached so badly and swollen to such a size that I could hardly walk. What shall
I do? Is this the end?

Never give up… I could feel it in my bones, I knew help is coming. Sure enough, some
kindhearted riders competing at KL led by Nicole from Hongkong, Helena from
Thailand, Kate from Singapore and Marianne from KL started the “Rescue Bid”.
They solicited cash donation to mount the greatest horse rescue in this side of
town. Armed with great determination and perseverance, they negotiated so hard
until my master buckled down – he asked for RM1, 500, double the price he bought
me for. That was fine because my benefactors collected RM3, 000 in total and
the donations kept pouring in feed, vet care and a temporary home for my
immediate medical care – thanks to Dr. Bala. It’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven
…never give up!

The rescue committee was on a mission – they were collecting more money for my
livery and lady luck is on my side, they asked Sennett for some donation. What
could be more perfect than a permanent home – I was offered permanent
residency at Riders Lodge. I arrived here on 4th October and life hasn’t been
better. My thanks to everyone, I hope to heal as quickly as I can with your tender
loving care.

Just like a fairy tale,“Chester with her new family lives happily ever after”.
