Lottie
Lottie was already tagged for slaughter when we rescued her. We were lucky to have spotted her in time. We sent her to a quarantine facility in Pennsylvania for a month, just to be sure she did not have an underlying, contagious illness. While at the quarantine facility, Lottie ended up meeting another Belgian mare named Sophie. Sophie was also rescued from slaughter by a woman who could not have a horse of her own but who also could not sit back and watch a beautiful creature get sent to her death. Lottie and Sophie ended up forming a deep bond and when the time came to bring Lottie home, we were asked to take Sophie too. After mentioning the situation to our supporters, we were urged by them all to take them both home – so we did.
