Horse & Hound Trending: A horse saved from slaughter with a wire embedded deep in his leg, thought to have been put there intentionally months before, has become a favourite among those who rescued him. Ezekiel, or Zeke, was one of six Belgian draught horses destined for slaughter after a “life of neglect”, who were taken in by Baby Girl Horse Rescue and Veteran Therapy Ranch in Fellsmere, Florida, in February. Zeke was very lame, with a “severely swollen, actively infected, and draining wound on his left front leg”, but rescue organiser Van Demars said he still had “spirit in his eyes”.
