Thousands of horses are sent to slaughter every year. This story, however, has a light at the end of the dark tunnel. The RVR horse rescue in Riverview, Florida received a call from a concerned neighbor. A mother horse and her baby were locked in a stall, never allowed outside. But one day, they broke out and escaped together. The neighbor snapped a picture of the baby who was left staggering down the road. It was clear he was starving, neglected and on the verge of death.
The team knew they needed to act fast, especially since Mom and Baby were on the run and had little strength. They located the two and named the baby Timmy. He could barely walk. It was a bleak start, but just like Macy and Loca, a horse and her baby freezing in the snow, Timmy and Mom went on to recover in the most beautiful way. Just wait until you see them now! Watching Timmy run, play and act silly like a young horse should is enough to turn anyone's insides to mush.
I couldn't get through the video without bawling like a baby. If you love horses, please SHARE this miraculous story with your friends on Facebook!
