He Risks His Life To Save 25 Horses From The Brink Of Death And Demands Not To Be Called A Hero

Sometimes it is possible to forecast what will happen in the case of a natural disaster, giving people the opportunity to shelter in place.

However, a lot of little organisms are abandoned vulnerable and disoriented, unclear of what to do or where to go. Recent heavy rains that impacted the bulk of Harris County, Texas, necessitated the evacuation of some residents.

Even if thousands of displaced humans were saved, many animals were spared the same fate.

The severity of the flood, which killed everything in its path, including gigantic horses, terrified the locals as they saw them suffer in its route.

Others watched helplessly as the horses were hauled until an admirer of these rare creatures took the choice to go into the river and risk his own life to save as many horses as possible.

Justin Nelzen, an ex-marine who is now a horse trainer, slipped on his life jacket and leapt from the bridge to save the unlucky beasts that were suffering from the turbulence of the water.

The person had to travel back and forth several times while swimming through the rough water to bring the horses to dry ground.

The neighborhood came together to support Justin in his valiant attempt to preserve the horses as a result of his noble efforts. Someone from a higher position pointed to a location where a horse was valiantly trying to stay afloat.

Although others were leading the horses along the coast, Justin had already brought them close enough.

By the end of the day, Justin had managed to save 15 horses altogether in addition to 10 more.

It needed a lot of teamwork for 25 horses to survive and prevent a terrible outcome. Because of his actions, Justin has earned the nickname “horse hero” from the locals. a valiant rescue that warmed everyone’s hearts.

He does not feel at ease with the title, though, as the horses are his family, and witnessing some of them sadly perish in the floods has left him broken.
