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.

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.
