A friend in need - My Weekly

Well here's a story to melt your heart. As if Boo hadn't suffered enough when he lost the sight in one eye to cancer, he was then shot at point blank range by some teenagers and lost the sight in his other eye. Rescued by the wonderful team at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, Boo was given a paddock of his own, as a herd of horses would have been too overwhelming. But he needed a friend - horses like company, just like humans. Enter stage left, the wonderful Oliver, the most patient kind horse ever! Oliver was Boo's guide and companion for years. But tragedy struck when Oliver fell ill. His final moments were spent with Boo by his side and even just writing this summary is making me weep all over again. We all need a friend like Oliver, a guide in the darkness, a friend when we're in need.Redwings work tirelessly to help over 40,000 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules. They need our help continuing their good work so if you can donate, please do here.
