No one could ever prepare for the sight the volunteers of the British Horse Society faced upon arriving at a building site in East Durham, England.
It was there where they found Heidi, a pony thought to be dead in the midst of squalor. But after her body was seen breathing, the volunteers realized they’d encountered one of the most severe cases of neglect they’d ever seen and acted immediately.

“The decision was made to give her a chance and it took five people to lift her to her feet,” said the spokesperson of Here 4 Horses Equine Charity.
Heidi’s incredible road to recovery was then documented in a series of videos that prove what a fighter this little girl has been. Let’s take a look at Heidi’s inspiring transformation down below, which is impossible not to shed a tear (or to cry a whole river) for.
