Teen Finds Baby Horse Starving In A Ditch, And Does The Impossible
#11. Far From Danger?
Upon further inspection of Sunny, Kelsey’s heart broke. The poor horse had whip marks, an eye swollen shut and her backbone was sticking out three inches. Her back knees were swollen and rubbed raw.
#12. Could They Save Her?
“What kind of person can do that to an animal? Willingly go to bed every night knowing that she’s out there starving?” Kelsey said. It was hard to stomach that someone would starve and abuse the sweet baby. She was in such bad shape, they didn’t think they could save her. Until Kelsey had an idea…
#13. Nights In The Barn
For the next five nights, Kelsey slept next to the dying foal as her surrogate mother. She made sure she was eating and felt comfortable. If Sunny was going to die at just six months old, Kelsey wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be alone.
#14. Never Give Up
“I didn’t really sleep real good. Pretty much woke up every hour and just peeked in on her,” Kelsey said. Her mother added that she would have never done such a thing for the animal and encouraged her daughter to come back inside. But Kelsey stayed and something started to happen…
#15. The Truth Comes Out
After about a week of nursing the foal back to health, Kelsey and Cara realized that she was a true miracle and might just survive her history of torture. They would soon learn that the foal had been released by someone who clearly couldn’t take care of her.
