Bubbles
December 28, 2016
Frisco, TX – A senior white horse with short ears destroyed by frostbite wasn’t on the rescue list at a kill pen in Frisco when Becky’s Hope was saving 9 mini donkeys from shipping to slaughter. Becky’s Hope had raised the funds needed to rescue the 9 miniature donkeys but were not planning on saving any other animals. The white horse saw the donkeys loading up, and determined to be on that trailer.
The white horse pushed his way through gates, down alleyways, passed yelling workers trying to stop his forward progress, but nothing would stop the horse. He reached the trailer, climbed aboard, and tried to melt into the herd of donkeys. “I firmly believe that he thought if he mixed in with the mini donkeys we wouldn’t notice. He’s like I’m just one of them. Got on the trailer with them, stood there like you don’t see me, and kept his head kind of down,” Sue Champman of Becky’s Hope told reporters.
The rescue paid $450 to the feedlot rather than turning the white horse out, and promptly named him Bubbles. He is doing very well at the rescue. You can follow his progress on the Becky’s Hope Facebook page.

Poor sweet old horse, so very determined to escape the house of SLAUGHTER. I’m so relieved they let him be included in the rescue. Too bad the place wasn’t emptied and burned to the ground.

Amazing will and determination, so happy for this baby and the others who made it but it hurts to think of those who didn’t, as I think of the daily victims often. It’s an absolute abomination that these death traps are still in operation. Damn shame.

I know how you feel Stacy Ann, it’s heartbreaking! When I saw the story on the news and the woman was telling the story, he walk up beside her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I knew I needed to share Bubbles story, that horse has quite a personality. People were so touched all over the world they sent money, enough to pay for his adoption and two more horses.

This is both cute and so sad. They are making a literal and financial killing. And the healthy US wild horses rarely cost this: “The rescue paid $450 to the feedlot rather than turning the white horse out, and promptly named him Bubbles.”

Yes, it takes a special kind of scumbag to make money this way!

I agree Patricia, I hope there’s a special place in hell for the ones who make money from this and a special place in heaven for those who save them.
