Mary Lou is not a child of sadness. With her carefree zest for life, she makes us smile every day. Curious, playful and cheeky, she keeps her mother Dorita and the others in the group on their toes. She was almost never born because her mother was on a transport to Belgium for slaughter. There she would probably have been disposed of as an embryo. Animal friends were able to stop the transport and prevent the worst from happening. When Michael Aufhauser heard about this, he immediately pledged his help and promised to offer the 21 slaughter horses a forever home - and of course little Mary Lou too.
