IN REAL LIFE. AND WOULD YOU LIKE
A BIT OF A CUPCAKE? LOOK AT THAT
. YOU GET THE FEEDER OF THE
CUPCAKE, AND I JUST HAVE TO
STAND HERE. SHE LOVES IT, TOO
HAS A LOVING THAT TAKES CARE OF
HER EVERY NEED, BUT THERE ARE
SOME MINIATURE HORSES LOOKING
FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES. WE WENT
TO SAVING GRACE MINIATURE HORSE
REST. CUE THE ONLY MINIATURE
HORSE RESCUE IN MICHIGAN TO MEET
SOME ADOPTABLE MINIATURE HORSES.
MHM. THIS IS MR HILTON. MILLER
ALWAYS LOVED HORSES. CAR
ACCIDENT YEARS AGO LEFT HER
UNABLE TO RIDE HER PASSION
TURNED TO MINIATURE HORSES AS AN
OWNER TO FOSTER AND SINCE 2014
RUNNING HER OWN RESCUE EACH AND
EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN
PERSONALITIES COULD JUST SPEND
ALL DAY WITH EVERY ONE OF THEM.
A MINIATURE HORSE IS A SIZE
REGISTRY. IT’S NOT A BREED
REGISTRIES. SO ANYTHING 38
INCHES AND UNDER IS CONSIDERED A
MINIATURE HORSE. DWARF MINIATURE
HORSES ARE EVEN SMALLER, THE
RESULT OF A GENETIC CONDITION
THAT CAN CAUSE MANY PHYSICAL
DIFFICULTIES AND HEALTH PROBLEMS
. MINIATURE HORSES HAVE THE SAME
NUMBER OF TEETH AS A FULL SIZE
HORSE. SO THEN WHEN YOU GET A
DWARF FORCES THIS BIG IT BECOMES
A BIG PROBLEM. AND UNTIL ALL
THEIR TEETH COME INTO THEIR
MOUTH, WHICH CAN TAKE UP TO SIX
YEARS IN A DWARF MINI THEY NEED
CAN’T STINT DENTAL AND IT HAS TO
BE DONE BY ACQUIRING DENTIST WHO
WAS USED TO WORKING AND DWARF
MINIATURE HORSES ARE MINIATURE
HORSE. ASSES. AND THOUGH MINIS
CAN BE THE SIZE OF BIG DOG, THEY
ARE HORSES. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN CARE OF A MINIATURE
HORSE AND A FULL SIZED HORSES.
THEY EAT LESS EVERYTHING ELSE.
THE VET CARE AND EVERYTHING ELSE
IS EXACTLY THE SAME RUNS ON
DONATIONS AND WITH THE HELP OF
VOLUNTEERS LIKE FRESH AND
CLASHES. BAM BAM! HE THINKS HE’S
A CLYDESDALE. HE DOESN’T HAVE
ANY CLUE THAT HE’S JUST A LITTLE
BOY. AND THEY JUST THEY’RE JUST
WONDERFUL. THAT’S WHY I LOVE
HIM. SO MUCH WAS MOURNING THE
LOSS OF HER OWN HORSE WHEN SHE
READ ABOUT SAVING GRACE IN THE
LOCAL NEWSPAPER AND CONTACTED
TAMMY CAME OUT ONE DAY. IT WAS A
MONDAY AND I’VE REMEMBERED
ATHLETE BUT I WAS LIKE, WELL, I
DON’T THINK I CAN WAIT UNTIL
NEXT MONDAY. CAN I COME BACK
THURSDAY? AND SHE WAS LIKE,
WELL, YEAH, AND THEN I’VE BEEN
HERE EVER SINCE. TAMMY OWNS 12
MINIATURE HORSES AND HAS 16
RESCUES RIGHT NOW MOSTLY OWNERS
SURRENDERS OR HORSES PURCHASED
AT AUCTION FOR SOME ABUSED OR
NEGLECTED HORSES. SAVING GRACE.
MINIATURE HORSE RESCUE IS THEIR
LAST CHANCE, LIKE SONNY, WHO WAS
EMACIATED, DEFORMED HOOF AND WAS
GOING TO BE SHOT UNTIL TAMMY
TOOK HIM IN. HE WAS LIGHT ENOUGH
THAT MY HUSBAND WALKED UP ONTO
THE TRAILER AND CARRIED HIM OFF
THE TRAILER, AND HE WASN’T HE
WASN’T A SMALL MINI. HE PROBABLY
WEIGHED LESS THAN £100 WHEN HE
CAME HERE. TAMMY TOOK SONNY TO
SEE HER VETERINARIAN DEFORMITY
HAD CURLED UP AND AROUND AND UP
INTO HIS LEG, AND SHE’S LIKE,
OH, THERE’S NO WAY WE CAN. WE
CAN TRIM THAT OFF. WELL. I’M NOT
SOMEBODY WHO GIVES UP THAT EASY,
SO I DIDN’T LET HER EUTHANIZE
HIM. I TOOK HIM HOME FOR ONE.
KEY THE NIGHT I MET HIM. I COULD
TELL HE WANTED TO LIVE. YOU CAN
TELL WHEN THEY WANT TO LIVE, AND
WHEN THEY DON’T HE HADN’T GIVEN
UP SO HE HADN’T GIVEN UP ON
HIMSELF AND I WASN’T GOING TO
EITHER. A VETERINARIAN AT
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY WAS
ABLE TO HELP SONNY AND HE JOINED
THE HERD OF SO MANY MINIATURE
HORSES WHO OVER THE YEARS FOUND
THEIR SAVING GRACE AT TAMMY’S
FARM. 10 OF THE 16 CURRENT
RESCUES ARE NOW SANCTUARY HORSES
, MEANING THEY LIVE OUT THEIR
DAYS ON THE FARM. BUT SIX OF THE
MINIATURE HORSES ARE ADOPTABLE,
AND WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON
THE ALL FOR PETS PAGE OF
CLICKONDETROIT’S DOT COM.
MEANWHILE WHO WOULDN’T WANT A
FRIEND LIKE BUTTERCUP, I’M AM I
RIGHT? TAKE BUTTERCUP HOME. I
WOULD. I DON’T THINK YOU’RE
DOGWOOD. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK.
STEP ASIDE SORROW WE ARE LOOKING
FOR THE NEXT ALL FOR PETS PRO.
MOST ARE WILL TELL YOU HOW TO
ENTER. WE’VE HELPED RECOVER OVER
