A two-week-old miniature horse with physical problems was abducted from his mother and offered for sale at an auction, from which many horses end up at slaughter factories in Canada. FYI: Canada’s horse slaughter industry is among the largest in the world, and a shameful betrayal against our loyal companions.
Horses are slaughtered in Canada primarily to provide horse meat to European and Asian countries. Horses are brought to slaughter in every possible condition—old, young, sick, healthy, injured, and even pregnant. They are not all unwanted—often, their guardians can no longer afford to keep them, and bring the horses to auction hoping to find them a good home. But horribly, more than 50% of horses sold at rural auctions go to slaughter after being bought by “kill buyers.” Canadian animal transport standards are among the worst in the industrialized world. Current regulations allow horses to be transported for up to 36 hours without food, water or rest.
Luckily for this little guy, he was sold to someone who gave him a second chance at life.

I did not know Canada was involved in that. But then, Canada is a disappointment in everything.
BNI: I loved that video of the mini-horse. How I wish the world was on that path, but it is not.

Me, too. All my charitable donations go to animal rescue groups.

Horses are a wonderful gift to humans from our Precious, Awesome, Wonderful, Glorious Creator! Gifts from God indeed! There’s two stories.
The first is the longest one. The miracle horse. A strong and powerful undying bond between the girl and her beloved horse who saved her life twice.
When a rider falls into deep mud, her life becomes her horses to save in an epic rescue mission.

Canada is despicable, cruel and ruthless to treat God’s animals with such wickedness.
Horses are very beautiful.
Thank God for the beautiful souls who rescue, and nurture, and love horses back to life!
The miniature horse is ADORABLE!
Smooth Lee says
The final scene of the video, the pony resting its head on the dog, is as loving and cute as it gets.

Wow (said as I wipe a tear from my eye). Beautiful story and amazing turn-around for this little fella. Cutest little thing and very happy he found his way to these incredible human beings.

I would like to go to the US to hug and kiss a miniature horse. They are incredibly sweet.

THAT, my dear Bonni, was an adorable little pony. I could sit here and watch him for hours on end.
Thank you so much for the tears of joy which today’s dark clouds of turmoil seem to overshadow.
BareNakedIslam says
Actually, he’s not a pony. Pony’s are much bigger. This is an actual miniature horse that when fully grown will be about half the size of a small pony. There are 3 minis at the stable where I keep my horse. They are adorable.
Hadehoughalready says
Gotcha! Adorable nonetheless…
halfhaltinc says
Minis are bred down and down genetically, and sometimes the process produces dwarf minis. Many breeders simply dispose of these genetic “mistakes”. But there are kind mini fans who rescue and provide the exhaustive care that results in happy, healthy lives. God bless these rescuers. And thank you BNI for exposing a very dark side to the equine industry that needs changed through lobbying and legislation.

I was very happy when the US banned horse slaughter for export here. Didn’t realize, they’d just start shipping them to other countries to be slaughterd.
