OCALA, Fla. — Rafiki the miniature pony is happily grazing and relaxing at an Ocala-area ranch thanks to a prosthetic hoof.
The Ocala Star Banner reports that Rafiki had sustained a major injury to his hoof and couldn't walk when he was rescued by a woman in Minnesota. A North Dakota-based miniature horse rescue group paid $15,000 for Rafiki to have surgery and be fitted for a prosthetic hoof.
Rafiki has since found a new home at Clear Skies Ranch near Ocala with a dozen other miniature ponies.
Ranch workers say he appears happy and healthy and that he enjoys spending time with the other horses.
