❤️ From harrowing to heartwarming (a foal rescue)
The following is from the American Wild Horse Conservation:
Yesterday we shared the incredible story of Creedence, a foal rescued from Nevada’s Virginia Range. Today, we’re excited to share with you a more recent story.
Read on to learn the harrowing and heartwarming details of Bentley’s story.
But first: Every foaling season brings more newborns into risky conditions on the range — and many won’t survive without help. Will you chip in to help us support the rescue of more foals like Creedence and Bentley?

Earlier this spring, we supported the rescue of a vulnerable foal named Bentley. He was discovered alone and weak, separated from his band and less than 24 hours old. Despite efforts from Wild Horse Connection and Least Resistance Training Concepts (LRTC) volunteers, his mother couldn’t be found.
Bentley was rushed to the vet hospital, dehydrated and in urgent need of plasma infusions to strengthen his immune system. Vets also discovered he had an angular limb deformity in one of his front legs. Thanks to quick intervention, he was fitted with a splint and corrective shoe.
Today, Bentley is thriving — splint off, spunky as ever, and loving life in his forever home.
