I promised a story from "The Mane Event" about survival, well here it is. This is a story about luck on this Friday the 13th. On December 4, 2008, the SPCA in Frasier Valley received a call about a pack of abandoned dogs. Upon arriving on the scene of the abandoned property, they heard a noise coming from a dilapidated shed. They entered and saw a shape huddled in the corner. It was an abandoned horse, surviving in this barn for possibly 5 months. He ate wood and his own feces and licked the condensation off stacks of tin. They suspected he was a yearling, his growth stunted from starvation. As they led him outside into the sun, he shook violently and was little more than a walking skeleton. It was a long road of rehab and recovery. A year later his adopter brought him to "The Mane Event" to participate in some of the Jonathan Field demonstrations. This little guy seemed to be in good hands, a caring owner that hopefully made this pact. "In exchange for your trust, I promise to never allow anything like that to happen to you again."

That's a great story. It's hard to believe the horse could have survived that long.
WOW! What a story! I too can't imagine how the horse survived that long. Can you imagine the suffering he went through? So glad it has a happy ending!
I got the chills reading this story. How can people be so cruel to an innocent animal. I'm so happy he was rescued and found a good home with a caring owner.
That's such an amazing story. Makes me so sad though that someone would be so cruel as to leave a living creature like that. I'm SO glad to see the horse has a loving home now.
That's beautiful!
OMG - that just breaks my heart to think that the poor little guy had to survive for that long all on his own!! I hope his abandoner burns!! But...so thankful for the happy ending, he deserves to be loved and cared for. LOVE the agreement!!
Aaaww.........Bless his little heart, what a great story!
