BOLIVIA, NC (WECT) – A local horse rescue is helping several miniature
horses get back on their feet, literally.

Debbie Batholomew,
director of the United
States Equine Rescue League Southeast Coast Chapter, is rescuing horses
(miniature and large variety) from tough circumstances. Currently, Bartholomew
has four miniature horses; two seized from a drug arrests late last year and
most recently, two more mini's that were attacked and almost killed by dogs.

Bartholomew
hopes to save as many horses as possible, but unfortunately it is just not
feasible. But despite the cost and time spent, she believes in what she and her
team is doing and will not give up on her love.
