We have such exciting news to share...RIDDLE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
When Riddle arrived at Longmeadow in June 2023, he was in heartbreaking condition. He was severely malnourished, covered in wounds, sores, and lice, and had so little muscle that he couldn't get back up on his own after lying down. Our staff worked around the clock, lifting him whenever he needed to rest and providing the intensive care he needed to survive. Month by month, Riddle grew stronger. Through dedicated care, good nutrition, and plenty of love, he made an incredible recovery.
Now, after three years with us, Riddle has found the forever home he's been waiting for.
Riddle's story went viral after we posted a TikTok about his rehabilitation journey. Since then, multiple platforms have shared his incredible story of resilience, including our friends at The Dodo, Cuddle Buddies and The Koala. He was a great example of Longmeadow's mission of farm animal rescue, rehabilitation, and education.
Since Riddle's story was shared, many of you have reached out asking about Riddle and wondering when it would be his turn to find a home. We're so excited to finally share that Riddle's next chapter has officially begun!
Nancy had been looking for a young horse to be her trail riding partner. She reached out to a friend who volunteers at Longmeadow, and her friend immediately suggested she come meet Riddle. The moment Nancy met Riddle, the two just clicked -- they were a perfect match.
Just a few days later, Nancy made it official and adopted Riddle, bringing him home to start his new life. He'll be spending his summers exploring the trails in Michigan and his winters soaking up the sunshine in Arizona (we're already planning our site visits 😉).
After waiting so patiently, Riddle has finally found the loving home he deserves, and we couldn't be happier for him. ❤️
