Cracker
Cracker originally came off the moors – saved from the meat lorry because of his striking colour, but his was not to be a happy one, bought cheaply to be ‘broken’ and sold on for profit. The men who bought him could not get him to accept a head collar, so they forced it on him and tied him to the back of a quad bike where he was dragged regularly till he fell, his sides were repeatedly scraped along the ground, he endured this as well as beatings. Terrified and traumatised they decided to have him shot. Fortunately for Cracker his ordeal had been regularly witnessed, and although too afraid to video the evidence, approached the ‘owners’ to request they hand him over.
So…..after many months of ‘remedial’ treatment and kindness, Cracker arrived here in March 2006, he is a lovely little chap, although he was very worried to begin with he slowly, amazingly, began to trust people again. It took a long time for him to accept a headcollar, a neck collar was used initially.
Cracker is very popular and lives in a paddock with his friends, Shiraz, Leo, Holly & Heidi.
