Meet Our Miracle Colt!
Twist of Fate
Twist of Fate, or "Twister", was born to Mama, a Thoroughbred mare that was pregnant and bound for the slaughterhouse when she was rescued from a horrific tractor trailer accident on Interstate 44 last September. His name is fitting because were it not for the tragedy of the accident, Twister would never have been born.

Background
On September 27, 2006, a tractor trailer filled with 42 horses was making its way down Interstate 44 to the slaughter house when it overturned. The horses were tossed, hurt and almost half died. Amazingly, this horrific accident may have ultimately saved the lives of the 24 horses and one hinny that survived the accident. The Humane Society of Missouri's Longmeadow Rescue Ranch team was among the first called to the scene of the accident. They worked tirelessly to save the horses from the wreckage. Of the surviving horses 20, including the new baby, are living at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. And, as of now, five have been adopted into new forever homes.

by becoming a Horse Hero.
