Kelsey and her mother were on their way to a swap meet one early morning. But their trip came to a halt when they saw a horse along a stretch of road. The poor animal looked like she was abused and malnourished. They knew couldn’t leave the horse all alone out there and they knew they had to do something to help it.
They did their best to put her in the trailer, but the horse was scared. The horse wouldn’t cooperate and wouldn’t get in the trailer. This young girl began to think of ways to get the horse to her home, and she came to the conclusion that there was only one way. They would have to walk.
Thankfully, Kelsey didn’t give up on her. This amazing Illinois teen walked this horse nine miles to her home and to safety. Her task didn’t end there though. She nursed the mare back to health and she slept in the barn for five nights since she didn’t want the horse to be alone during the recovery process. Kelsey named the horse Sonny and they are now the best of friends.
Sonny is doing well in her new home and Kelsey is very grateful for that fateful day when their route to the swap meet was closed and they had to take a detour. If not for that detour, she may never have found Sonny.
Sonny has now transformed into a beautiful horse. Watch this wonderful story in the video below and don’t forget to share your thoughts with us via the comments!
