Big John had been an Amish workhorse all his life, until Colby’s Crew Rescue bought him at an auction, with the express goal of giving him a good life. Big John suffered from arthritis, sores, and foot problems, but with love, care, and daily beer, he's come out of his shell and feels like a colt again! Not only that, but he inspired Colby's Crew rescue to purchase other elderly draft horses that would otherwise be destined for slaughter.
Since his retirement, Big John has found a soulmate in another retired workhorse named Stardust, and has gained an adopted son named Little John. You can see them at Supa Fluffy.
That's a sweet story.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandfather had 3 workhorses back when I was a wee kid in the late 50s. 2 Percherons and a Canadian. Something about a horse that size. They all worked on the farm and spent their last years 'retired' and doing as they pleased.
ReplyDeleteThen you’d wanna support stopping their slaughter https://horseshit.ca/
