Stolen Horse found in kill pen waiting to be sent to slaughter
Manns Choice, PA (SFHH) – Christy Sheidy, Co-founder of Another Chance 4 Horses, reports that her organization tracked down a dealer in Virginia who purchased the sorrel and white and then sold the horse to a kill buyer. The horse was located in the New Holland kill pen awaiting transport across the boarder to a murderous slaughter house. The horse rescuers from Chance 4 horses have pulled the stolen equine to safety.
Working with the dealer, who had unknowingly purchased the horses from the horse thief, Christy and her volunteers located the other two horses who are promptly being returned to their rightful owners.
The family from Manns Choice, PA would like to thank Chances 4 Horses and all of the thousands of people who banded together across the internet to help in locating their special companions. A very special “Thank you”, indeed.
R.T. Fitch’s life has been anything but ordinary. Straight out of high school, he joined the U.S. Air Force Band during the Vietnam era, and while stationed in Hawaii, he spent weekends at Sea Life Park training penguins, sea lions, and whales. His path through life has taken many unexpected turns—including more than a few lessons in love—until meeting his wife, Terry, brought a lasting partnership and a shared passion for animals.
Over the course of his adult career, R.T. worked internationally in multiple countries, gaining a broad, global perspective that colors both his worldview and his writing. Now rooted in Texas, he and Terry live on a small farm surrounded by four-legged companions with paws, claws, and hooves. Together, they have devoted years to equine rescue and wild horse protection.
An ordained volunteer chaplain and professional Santa Claus for a local historical society—with Terry by his side as Mrs. Claus—R.T. brings warmth, wisdom, and joy to every season. His work reflects a life of service, wonder, and connection to both people and animals.
He is the author of Straight from the Horse’s Heart, a moving collection of true rescue stories and spiritual reflections, and Fangs of Light, a supernatural tale steeped in symbolic and metaphorical storytelling. The first in a planned trilogy, Fangs of Light blends myth and mystery to explore themes of identity, redemption, and the power of empathy—offering readers not only suspense and intrigue but a deeper look at the light and shadow within us all.
Omg I fill for horses getting sent to slaughter. It is not their fault that people didn’t want him anymore! :(:(:(
