This pony was alone in a barn for 10 years — his hooves were so long he could barely walk. But he’s about to walk out into the sun and feel the grass for the very first time.

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.


Truly mind blowing that anyone could be this stupid.

We must work at our State legislative levels to move animals like the ones in the article out of their status as livestock w/o rights & protections for decent treatment. We need an ‘honest broker’ to bring together the middle-income family farmers/ranchers who are eking-out a living while mega-corporations are running factory farms & feedlots & slaughterhouses breeding diseases like COVID and infecting vulnerable populations.

Agreed. This evidently was a stallion which may explain his isolation, but he was not starved so not abandoned. Meaning someone was looking after him on a daily basis, yet this massive neglect and (yes) torture for a social and sentient animal was considered okay by at least some people. It is more or less a miracle he was discovered and recovered. I see a key problem is that we have commodified all life, including our own. Where is our sense of reverence for Creation?

OMG!! He will never suffer, again. The “so called,” owner, should be barred from ever owning any animals, again.
