This is the same little guy this summer, 5 years old

I know there's always a decision to be made about whether to put horses through the healing of such injuries but I'm glad they gave Mac a chance and he has a much happier home now.
"He's about the sweetest horse on the place. He's gone to a lot of demos, been seen and handled by hundreds.... and eventually, he gets tired and cranky - but over all, he's a complete LOVE."

What an amazing story of dedication and love by various people. What is not mentioned is what measures, if any, were taken against the former owners. One hope s that they are named and shamed by someone.

Its nice to read and see what can be achieved. I agree it was a good decision to give Mac a chance.

Its upsetting realising more and more that its lack of patience and understanding that cause most of the injuries in the first place.

Its frustrating that the story generally reaches those that care and are a lot less likely to cause suffering rather than reaching the ones that cause the problems and create the stories.

The world would be significantly better place without humans! evolutions biggest mistake!

Poor little Mac. I could feel that the chap wanted to strangle that cruel man with the same rope... I would've wanted to, too!!!

Well done to everyone in the story. Amazing.

RF, a DA went with the rescue to pick Mac up and there was no way they could prove it wasn't an accident
