The Killers Didn't Even Want Him (What I Saved Tonight)

CJnBucksMom · 07-11-2009, 11:12 PM

I know I posted earlier and said I wasn't going to do it but I walked in, saw this guy and couldn't go home without him. I'm getting pictures up now. He was the first horse I saw when I walked in. He was standing alone in a pen, head lowered but not TQ'ed just sullen and miserable, cuts on his legs and above his eye. A 15.2-15.3 hh palomino stallion in probably the worst body condition I've seen in person for a long time. He came into the ring second to last, there was one other person there bidding on him who always buys the bad horses, lord knows where they end up but I don't think he's a kill buyer. He started at $10, I raised my hand, so did the other guy, I ended up getting him for $35. The kill buyers didn't even want him, that's how bad of shape he's in. I found someone headed our way to bring him home if we paid for some gas. He came home, we gave him some bran mash and hay (probably all he can handle right now), a bath and a clean stall. He stood there and let us love on him, I think he knows he's in a place where he'll be loved and cared for now. Pics coming in a minute...

Sore above his eye

Uploading more right now, he's only about 6 from what I can tell from his teeth, maybe seven but definitely under 9.

Enjoying his first meal in god only knows how long

That big sweet face covered in food, as it should be....

One more shot of the hind end.

I'm still in shock when I look at these pictures. How do people do this to an animal? After I got him I went out to his pen and hugged him and he was nuzzling me, I started crying and just kept telling him it was going to be okay now. He's got so much fight left in him, you can just see it. While he was eating some hay tonight I was sitting on a chair next to him and it almost looked like a tear was coming out of his eye (I know it was probably just runny but I'm dramatic) and he reached over and stuck his head in my lap and just stayed there while I rubbed him and talked to him. It just breaks my heart how people let this happen.
