A rescued horse previously bound for the slaughterhouse is set to birth a foal any day now.
Not only was Journey, a 20-year-old mare, on her way to meet her end, she was also one of 10 horses who survived a horrific truck trailer crash in Franklin County this past year.
Humane Society of Missouri spokesman Gary Lowder spoke about Journey’s, well, journey and her happy ending following the crash.
Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, along with other emergency offices, arrived at the crash site Oct. 18 on I-44. Of the 29 horses being transported, only 10 survived.
