“My horses are probably the luckiest horses in the world,” Nelson said. “They get hand-fed twice a day, and they were just ready to go to slaughter is probably the last thing they remembered, so they’re happy horses.”
Nelson has long been a fan of horses. A recent song by Nelson, “Ride Me Back Home,” declares his passion for the animal. While a video by Nelson called “The Love of Horses” won the People’s Silver Telly Award in 2015.
