    BURMA'S BAILOUT

    Burma, a thoroughbred horse, was only 3 yearsold when Megan Adams bought her. According to WNCT, Adams became extremely close with her pet horse as they grew up together over the years. After graduating from college, Adams decided to take a road trip with a friend and asked a woman to look after Burma. Sadly, when she came back from her trip, both Burma and the woman were gone. For seven years, Adams had no idea what had happened to her horse. Then a friend told her to check out a horse rescue page on Facebook. There was a video showing Burma. It said that she been rescued from an auction where she was set to be slaughtered. Adams cried hysterically and contacted the horse rescue in Connecticut. She learned that Burma was sold to the auction by a testing facility where she spent five years being bred. Thankfully, she was able to bring Burma home and nurse her back to health.
