    Horse "Thanks" Man Who Saved Her From Chains

    Published: Mar 2, 2016 · Modified: Jun 29, 2020 by ihearthorses · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    In Romania, it is a common practice to use chains on a horse’s front or rear legs to hobble them so they cannot run away. Of course, hobbling is an old practice that was common the world over, including here in the United States. However, hobbles were not usually chains and it was not usually something a horse endured every single day, all day.

    Ovidiu Rosu is a vet for FOUR PAWS International, a non-profit animal welfare organization. He saw a horse with hobble chains on his feet in Letea (Danube delta) and had to “release it from it’s misery.”

    The horse tried to flee him, but of course, could not get far with the hobble on. Rosu was able to get to the horse and cut the chains off. The chains had cut into the horse’s skin, leaving wounds.

    Watch the whole rescue below to see how this horse “thanks” the man who helped her:
