Animal Rescue Award: Brynn Richmond

Brynn rescues horses from slaughterhouses from across the country. She made her 

first rescues -- two miniature pones -- when she was 7 years old.

She has rescued about 54 horses in the past two years. Most of them now have new homes.

She says the rescues cause a financial burden to her family because the horses are in very bad shape when they arrive and require a great deal of care.
