Blessing’s story shows what love can do. In December of 2019, we got a call from the sheriff of a nearby county about a horse who needed an immediate rescue. We didn’t know much, but we didn’t need to. He said the horse needed urgent help so we left immediately.
After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, law enforcement from another county asked us to rescue 11 horses who had been pulled out belly-high water. Many people had seen them trapped in the flood but, in the wake of the catastrophe, it took several days for animal control to reach them.
Who doesn’t love a mini horse? Mini horses couldn’t be cuter! And that’s the problem. Unethical breeders let their greed drive them into creating littiler and littiler horses — small enough even to be a house pet. The result is that, even when their frame is tiny, their internal organs stay large. And that’s how Munchie came to be a permanent member of the Miracle Ranch herd.
