Even that this is such a cruel thing to say, we really have to point this out because this is the reality of the world we are living in, hence we would like to be as transparent as we can with you. A lot of animals, including horses and ponies, are measured by their monetary value and when the horses are no longer available to work due to disabilities or their age, a lot of them are being treated in a very inappropriate way.
Some owners abandon them or others send them straight to the slaughterhouse. In the story that we are about to tell, we have an example of an abandoned mare named Bonny. For a horse handler, Bonny the pony was a prime candidate for slaughter. After the Welsh pony was hit by a car, she didn’t receive proper medical care and her broken neck healed disfigured.
When Bonny’s owner feared for her safety, she knew it was time to give her up. No one wanted Bonny, so that’s exactly why Jill McCullogh took her in. Over time, Bonny put on weight and Jill thought that it was from finally having a healthy diet, but a friend notified her that the horse was pregnant. Bonny gave birth to a healthy male foal a few weeks later!
She seems to be very happy with her foal, who is absolutely gorgeous. After all, Bonny is just the same as every single mother out there who loves her child more than everything in the world. Well, both parents would do anything for their children, but it is believed that the connection that mothers have with their children is stronger than the ones that fathers have with them.
It is connected with the fact that mothers go through a lot physically to bring their children to life. It is crazy how similar we are with a lot of animals, the only significant thing that separates us from them is the intelligence, nothing else. Shoutout to all the parents in the world who have done everything to provide better lives for their children. They deserve nothing but the best.
