Tommy the horse was so weak after the Thomas fire, adoption was uncertain. Then he met Anne Scioscia.
Today, it has permanent corrals and 100 stables, but, Greg Cooper, director of community outreach, said there were no such permanent facilities when the fire started. The facility had lost power the first night, so staff and volunteers worked by car headlights to erect temporary corrals as trailers deposited horses evacuated from burn areas.
All 70 horses sheltered at the Humane Society of Ventura County during the fire were reclaimed by their owners.Assumed to be abandoned, Tommy received medical treatment for dehydration and starvation, and for his singed hair and neglected hooves, which were overgrown by years. Caked in mud and ash, Tommy was washed and groomed and emerged as a big, beautiful, white horse. A big, beautiful, whitehorse. He was about 25, so weak that one veterinarian said he should never be ridden again.
Anne Scioscia, a gracious woman with a heart the size of a Clydesdale, loves horses. The human love of her life is her husband, Mike, former longtime manager of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. They live in Westlake Village, where Anne had read about Tommy’s rescue in the Ventura County Star.
