Starving horse Heidi is dumped in mud and left to di:e \u2013 volunteers save her and now she\u2019s winning awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A horrifying discovery at a construction site in England prompted volunteers to embark on an animal rescue mission they weren\u2019t sure would succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A public plea prompted volunteers from the British Horse Society to make a tragic discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building site in East Durham appeared to be abandoned, with waste and rubble everywhere, and they discovered what they initially assumed was a de:ad horse laying in the mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was filthy and emaciated, but upon closer inspection, they discovered the horse, Heidi, was still living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was one of the most terrible cases of neglect they\u2019d ever seen, and they acted without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt took five people to lift her to her feet,\u201d stated a representative from Here 4 Horses Equine Charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turned out that the site\u2019s owner had summoned someone in to remove the body of the horse, which he assumed was de:ad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether he thought she was already de:ad is irrelevant\u2014she had been subject to the most awful suffering, \u201d Wendy Suddes from the nonprofit Here4Horses told Bored Panda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foundation did everything they could to save this sweet horse\u2019s life, but it was a close call because she couldn\u2019t even stand up when she was rescued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe early days were touch and go, as we dealt with her serious weakness and such a low blood protein level that a plasma transfusion was required,\u201d Wendy told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToo many sores, worms, parasites, and infections had been given time to take hold and it took months and months to get Heidi well enough to run free in our pastures,\u201d Wendy added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But because to her tenacity and resolve to survive, she made it through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heidi had experienced the type of brutality and neglect that the nonprofit only sees once or twice a year, but she can now put that behind her and live an award-winning life as the beautiful and lively pony she was destined to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heidi is now \u201chigh on life,\u201d her lovely mane has grown back, and she is living her best life by earning rosettes, thanks to Wendy and her crew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
