Unbelievable story of a rescue horse who was nearly starved to death by his owner. I’ve seen a lot of rescue horses, but none in such bad shape as this one, who still had the heart to try to live.
Here’s a video my friend took of my horse Louie in his stall. Louie is the horse I rescued, and who rescued me back, after my old horse died at age 26. His face looks a lot like the horse in the above story.
Az gal says
Louie is beautiful! So is the other horse!
BareNakedIslam says
Thanks, AZ. I fell off Louie yesterday at a jump. It was my fault though. Thankfully, I didn’t break anything, the ground is really hard now.
Az gal says
Be careful, Bonni.
BareNakedIslam says
I am, but if you ride and jump, eventually you are going to hit the ground…which I do 2 or 3 times a year. However, I do wear a safety vest for jumping as I broke my back in a bad fall several years ago.

I have rescued my share of kittens, cats, puppies, and loveable old dogs. What a fantastic turnaround for that horse!! My eyes were tearing up something awful after watching that. Thanks Bonni for the video. Humans are a nasty, dirty, greedy lot with no redeemable charateristics. Animals, thats where true unconditional love resides.
BareNakedIslam says
Yes, it sure does. It seems most BNI people share that feeling. I love us!
Classy Infidel says
I am with you on that one. I have more love for animals because they are honest and can be so loving than I do for humans. Dogs and horses are on the top of the list. I am so happy that horse got rescued just in time.
Dehydration is what started its emaciation process because it is very difficult to eat if you are dehydrated. It is just plain heartbreaking to see him on the ground, resigned to die and alone.

BareNakedIslam says
And rightly so!

What joy to see the horrifically neglected, starved, abused horse heal and experience happiness in life! And to see the strong will of the precious horse to survive!
Animal rescues are a wonderful thing! So pleased to know Bonnie, you rescued your precious horse!
BareNakedIslam says
Well, he was not anywhere near as bad as this horse was. He just needed a good home.

Louie is very lucky to have you but he will give back tenfold no strings attached the world needs more CARROT people or LADIES .I cannot think of a punishment harsh enough for those who mistreat animals.
BareNakedIslam says
Me too, if I had the money I would use it to build an animal rescue farm. That’s where most of my charitable contributions go.
Michael Copeland says
Wonderful. Thanks.
BLR says
Louie may have had a hell of a time getting there but plain to see he found his Horse Heaven the circumstances on who rescued whom is wisely left unsaid by both party’s , myself is happy to know they are both here in this world and not make believe

They shoot horses that are in bad shape. There should be a worse punishment for someone whose purposful actions LED to the animal getting that way.
Always a heart-felt thank you for sharing stories like that, Bonnie

A society is judged by the way it treats its animals.
Let’s pray that judgement is harsh…
