Woman Saves Elderly, Intentionally Starved Horse Barely Able to Stand, and It Creates a Wonderful Bond with Another Horse
For individuals who are severely in need of assistance, even a simple act of kindness can mean the world. This was the case with Arthur, an old horse who had been left alone and without care.
However, Arthur was given a second chance at life because of the prompt action of a kind person. Sadly, Arthur had spent the majority of his life working on a New England farm.
He was abandoned by his callous owner when he turned 30, as he was no longer needed. After that, Arthur was transferred from dealer to dealer, enduring numerous hardships.
Despite his challenges, Arthur found comfort in the company of another abandoned horse named Max, and together they were able to overcome their obstacles. Their misery came to an end when Cindy Daigre, a compassionate woman, saved them.
Cindy discovered the two horses on a website; she is the founder of the Tennessee-based Ferrell Hollow Farm Senior Horse Sanctuary. They were in such poor condition that they were about to be euthanized, but Cindy intervened just in time.
Cindy described how she rescued Arthur and Max from Pennsylvania traders who were taking them to various auctions, including the infamous New Holland sale. She was horrified to learn that Arthur had been intentionally starved while waiting for the next sale.

Cindy was nonetheless determined to save the two horses and provide them with a peaceful and comfortable life at her sanctuary. The woman told reporters:
“I pulled them both [Arthur and Max] from dealers in Pennsylvania where they had been bounced around from auction to auction. I was told that [Arthur] was purposely starved while waiting to go to the next auction… I was horrified.”

The two horses had suffered physically and mentally for months, so it was only natural that they were afraid and confused. However, upon arriving at the sanctuary, they began to experience better times, and as time went on, their condition improved.
