It was the biggest horse Ally had ever seen. His shoulders towered above her head! The horse, now named Big John, had been an Amish workhorse all his life, until <a href="https://colbyscrewrescue.org/" class="on">Colby’s Crew Rescue</a> bought him at an auction, with the express goal of giving him a good life. Big John suffered from arthritis, sores, and foot problems, but with love, care, and daily beer, he's come out of his shell and feels like a colt again! Not only that, but he inspired Colby's Crew Rescue to purchase other elderly draft horses that would otherwise be destined for slaughter. Since his retirement, Big John has found a soulmate in another retired workhorse named Stardust.

Big John and Stardust were joined by a giant colt named Little John, also rescued from an auction.

They make a lovely family! See more stories of horses taken in by Colby’s Crew Rescue<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ohkaytacos" alt=" at TikTok.&nbsp;" class="on"> at TikTok.&nbsp;</a>​ #horse #retirement #rescue
