Somerset, Wis. The 115-pound dwarf miniature pony defies all odds.
Richard was taken in by Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue due to a hoarding situation. He had surgery to straighten his legs and was steadily improving until a bigger horse hit him and he had to have surgery again this summer.
He recovered thanks to help from the University of Minnesota.
He now has a permanent home – called Richard’s Place – in Somerset, owned by Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue. The staff there describe him as a stubborn pony who loves to eat.
He also made a new friend: Donk, who was recently lost. These are two dynamic duos that walk together.
Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue hopes Donkey and Richard will help grow their community service programs.
