When we think of animal rescue, our minds often jump to adorable puppies and kittens.
\nBut let\u2019s not forget our equine friends who also need a loving home, especially as they age and are considered \u201ctoo old to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enter Big John, a majestic workhorse who had seen better days.
\nThankfully, the compassionate folks at \u201cColby\u2019s Crew Rescue\u201d in Albemarle County, Virginia, swooped in to give him a new lease on life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At his new home, Big John found a best buddy in Cotton, a miniature donkey who shares the farm with him.<\/p>\n

Big John\u2019s life post-rescue is nothing short of luxurious.
\n\u201cHe is pampered beyond belief with 2 beers a day, vets orders, and his own massage gun,\u201d the team shares.<\/p>\n

Add to that sprawling fields to gallop in, unlimited hay, and a community of other animals, and you\u2019ve got a horse living his best life. Yet, something seemed to be missing.<\/p>\n

While Big John had plenty of horse pals around, he seemed more interested in spending time with Cotton.
\nThe rescue team sensed his loneliness and embarked on a mission to find him a special someone to grow old with.<\/p>\n

Despite meeting several potential mates, Big John remained indifferent\u2014until Stardust entered the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stardust, another senior rescue horse, immediately caught the team\u2019s attention.
\nThey had a hunch that she would be the perfect match for Big John. And boy, were they right!<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the first minute he saw her, Big John was enamored,\u201d says the team.<\/p>\n

Big John couldn\u2019t contain his excitement and ran up to meet Stardust as soon as he saw her. The team cautiously kept them apart for a few days to ensure compatibility.<\/p>\n

When they finally met, Big John was over the moon.<\/p>\n

Fast forward a few months, and it\u2019s as if Big John and Stardust have been together for a lifetime.
\nThey share meals, a paddock, and even some adorable cuddle sessions.<\/p>\n
