Young horse kept in dark, cramped pen his whole life runs laps with joyful abandon after he's freed: video
He got his thunder back. A heartwarming video shows the elated moment a young stallion who had spent most of his short, miserable life in a cramped pen in Florida tastes freedom for the first time. The horse named Thunder was rescued Sunday from horrific and neglectful conditions at a farm in Lake Wales, about 60 miles east of Tampa.

Polk County Sheriff's Office Officers from the Polk County Animal Cruelty Investigations Unit took him and brought him to an open stable and pasture, where the clip was filmed. In the footage, Thunder zooms around the fenced-in area, doing laps and happily prancing from one corner to the other.

'This is his first time ever experiencing a pasture and being able to run free (well somewhat free) and he is loving it,' the Polk County Sheriff's Office wrote in a June 3 Facebook post. 'He was kept in a very small stall in a dark barn and never turned out to pasture.' Thunder was seized by law enforcement as part of a sweeping animal cruelty investigation after cops received a tip that two horses were starving at the farm, according to a press release. 5 The 2-year-old Paso Fino leaps in the air and scampers and sprints in excited circles in the open pasture at the ranch where he is being rehabilitated by authorities. Polk County Sheriff's Office Advertisement Investigators found Thunder and another horse living in abject squalor. 'One was extremely skinny, with its rib and hip bones visible; another was laying on the ground in its own feces, unable to lift its head, and barely breathing,' the sheriff's office said in the press release. 'This horse succumbed to its severe neglect and was deceased by the time detectives arrived.' Thunder and the dead horse were living in wretched conditions along with seven other horses, 11 goats and two sheep. The animals and humans, some children, were living together amid rotting garbage, scrap metal, discarded tires, swarms of flies and broken appliances scattered around the property, according to the release.

He said he told the friend to collect the animals months ago but the friend ignored him, according to the press release. Nunez-Suarez was charged with felony animal cruelty and three counts of confining animals without proper food, care, and sustenance.

Polk County Sheriff's Office Sheriff Grady Judd said happy endings like Thunder's are only possible with the help of a vigilant public who reports animal cruelty to the proper authorities. 'It's a shame we were unable to save one of the abused horses,' Judd said. 'But we will make it our mission to rehabilitate all of the animals that were subjected to this filth and neglect, and ensure these suspects are never again allowed to own animals.'

Horse held years in dark Florida barn has joyous reaction when freed. See video
A young stallion that spent much of its life in a stall has been freed as part of an animal cruelty investigation, and video of his joyous reaction is getting hundreds of thousands of views on social media. The clip, just 20 seconds long, shows 2-year-old Thunder reacting to wide open spaces with a burst of energy, running in circles, bucking and kicking up his hooves. 'He was kept in a very small stall in a dark barn and never turned out to pasture,' the Polk County Sheriff's Office wrote in a June 3 Facebook post. 'This is his first time ever experiencing a pasture and being able to run free (well somewhat free) and he is loving it.' Thunder, a Paso Fino, was rescued Sunday, June 1, when the Polk County Animal Cruelty Investigations Unit followed up on a tip about two horses looking malnourished at a Lake Wales farm, about a 60-mile drive east from Tampa. Deputies arrived to find seven live horses and one dead one, along with 11 goats and two sheep. Three of the live horses appeared 'neglected and in poor condition,' the sheriff's office said in a news release. When questioned, the homeowner 'told detectives that he was taking care of the animals for a friend but that it was too expensive to feed them, and that he told the friend to come get the animals three months ago,' the sheriff's office said. All the animals, including Thunder, were seized and the homeowner was charged with felony animal cruelty and three counts of confining animals without proper food, care, and sustenance, officials said. The video of Thunder kicking up his heels was posted June 3 and had racked up more than 530,000 views and 1,700 comments as of June 5, many noting the ordeal had clearly not broken the horse's spirit. 'Seeing him run brings tears to my eyes,' Debbie Hendrix posted on the sheriff's office Facebook page. 'You can watch him and just see how spirited, free and how happy he is now,' Mary Jane Favell Scalzo wrote. Thunder's temporary home is the Polk County Sheriff's Office Stockade, which is 'Horsey Heaven' compared to his past accommodations, the sheriff's office said. His future remains uncertain. In a 'best case scenario' all the confiscated animals will be surrendered to the sheriff's office, officials said. However, the homeowner says some of the animals are owned by other people. 'So the owner(s) could come forward and surrender them, or the PCSO may have to get a court order to take custody,' the sheriff's office said. 'Once we get custody, we typically turn the horses over to a nearby horse rescue that cares for them and finds them a loving home.'
