Rescued Horse ‘Dash’ Finds New Home After M32 Adventure
In a bizarre turn of events on the M32 this past weekend, a four-year-old horse named Dash found himself in a sticky situation. The horse had gotten loose on the motorway, causing quite a commotion and bringing traffic to a standstill. Thankfully, equestrian Jade Plummer, 31, came to the rescue and managed to safely guide Dash off the road and onto the hard shoulder.
Jade, who was driving back from Wales with a friend at the time, accidentally ended up on the dual carriageway and spotted the frightened horse. Without hesitation, she jumped into action, chasing after Dash for over an hour to ensure his safety. Despite the chaos and traffic delays, Jade’s priority was clear: saving the distressed animal from potential harm.
After finally catching Dash, the police and the owner arrived on the scene. However, to everyone’s surprise, the owner refused to take responsibility for the horse. In a shocking twist, he declared, “I don’t want him, I don’t anything to do with him.” Without skipping a beat, Jade, who runs the Blossom Hill Equestrian Centre in Gloucester, stepped in to care for Dash.
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that Dash was severely underweight and had various health issues, including skin tumours. Despite his rough start, the dedicated team at Blossom Hill are now working tirelessly to nurse Dash back to health. Jade even started a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his veterinary treatment, showcasing the power of community support in times of need.
As Dash continues his road to recovery, one thing is certain – he’s in good hands with Jade and the team at Blossom Hill. The heartwarming story of Dash’s rescue serves as a reminder of the compassion and kindness that exists in the world, even in the most unexpected of places. With Jade’s unwavering dedication and the outpouring of support from donors, Dash is on track to a brighter and healthier future.
