titan: one that stands out for greatness of achievement

Every horse that comes to the rescue is special, but Titan was so much more. He had an innate ability to reach out and touch the heart of everyone that he met. It didn’t matter if it was a fellow horse that needed reassurance, a child who had never been around a horse or a senior citizen who wanted to relive their youth. Titan knew how to make everyone feel at ease.

With his passing, a huge void has been left and everyone at the rescue feels it, especially Jesse. While Titan was Barney’s eyes, to Jesse, Titan was his strength. The two would spend hours together, standing side by side. While Jesse rested, Titan watched over him. Allowing Jesse to lean on him when Jesse’s leg was too sore to bear weight.

At the Healing Horse Summer Program, Titan was in his glory. Surrounded by children, Titan patiently stood while he was groomed and doted over. He regularly bowed his head so that the children could touch his muzzle or scratch him between his ears. His eyes glistened as he lapped up all the attention.

Titan’s larger role, however, was being the voice of the rescue. At every event that he attended, he owned the crowd. While he lured people in with his size, his story of perseverance is what kept them coming back. People could hardly believe that the picture they saw and the horse in front of them were one and the same. Titan opened everyone’s eyes to what a throw-away horse was truly capable of.
