You've heard one neighbor's story about Charlie Johnson. Here's another......
On March 21, 2007, Honey Girl was rescued from the same fate so many others met at Charlie Johnson's property, also known as "Dead Acres". The neighbors who adopted her think Johnson's punishment should be the same as how he treats his animals - held captive, fed prison slop, and neglected.
Anyway, it was a regular occurrence for the herd at Charlie Johnson's to head for the east side of the property to lean over, and sometimes jump over, or simply knock down, the neighbor's fences. On any given day you could see from two or three, to a dozen animals in one yard or another. No one blamed the horses for going through the fences, they knew the horses were starving. But they all blame Charlie Johnson for the gross neglect and abuse of these animals.
Every day you would also see several of them hanging around in the shady trees behind another neighbor. There they would lean over the fence to get to the grass on the other side. One horse found a friend in that yard, and soon found a new home there. That horse is Honey Girl. I am that neighbor.
In the pictures below you can see the condition she was in when she was adopted. You will see her wonderful progress in just 4 months. All she needed was some much needed love and care, and lots of feed and hay.
Since then we've taken on two more. One, a 22 year old mare that the owners could no longer afford to keep, and a 19 year old mare. She lost a couple foals recently and was no longer profitable for the owners. Rather than take her to auction and risk a slaughterhouse, they asked if I would take her. It's been over a year since we got them and all three girls are doing just fine. I'll be adding their photos in the future.
