Unfortunately, the 30-year-old Belgian draft spent most part of his life as a work horse at a farm in New England. Sadly, soon after he hit 30, the loyal animal was no longer needed by his heartless owner, who let him to the mercy of fate. It is how Arthur ended up bouncing from dealer to dealer. A period of time that was anything but easy for the senior horse, but thankfully along the way he found comfort in another abandoned horse – Max. Together, they somehow managed to pass through all the struggles.
