Bright Futures Farm Began With A "Brite Decision"
Bright Futures Farm began 14 years ago with one horse - Brite Decision, a Thoroughbred ex-racer who literally ran his heart out for his owners time and again. Saving him was the best decision Bev Dee ever made. When Bev saw Brite for the first time, he walked slowly, limping and unsteady, from the back of his stall to greet her. Despite his obvious pain, he was gentle and friendly. Bev connected with him immediately, and knew that there was something special about this beautiful, pitiful horse. When she asked the woman who ran the rescue about him, she was told that two veterinarians had recommended euthanasia because he was in such desperately poor health. Bev asked if she could adopt Brite to try and save him, and to her surprise, the woman simply said, "take him."

Bev knew that there was no guarantee that Brite would survive, but she wanted to help the sweet horse that had captured her heart. She immediately took Brite home. She made an emergency call to the vet, and found out that Brite had several hairline fractures of sesamoid bones that had healed, and founder in both front feet. Brite's prognosis was questionable, but Bev was determined to give it a try. After 36 long months of care and rehabilitation, Brite was finally healed enough to be able to live comfortably.

Today, Brite Decision is happy, healthy and sound, and is the heart and soul of the rescue efforts at Bright Futures Farm. He is always kind, never complains, and will happily do whatever is asked of him. He even babysits new horses at the rescue like a doting uncle—almost like he knows it's his job to help the new horses heal and grow strong again. "Brite Decision" was the best decision Bev Dee ever made, and he is the sole reason that she founded Bright (Brite) Futures Farm. Fourteen happy years later, Brite remains the inspiration to save other neglected, abused and at-risk horses at Bright Futures Farm.
