What happens when a horse's owner dies

[Catherine]

Marianthi is an old horse who lived with an even older owner who lived on a Greek Island. When the owner died, no one thought to take care of the horse. 
She was alone in her field without care. Eventually she grew so weak she collapsed. Someone noticed her and called for help. Athens Happy House animal sanctuary showed up and rescued Marianthi. At first it looked like it was too late, but gradually the horse has regained strength. It was two months before she could stand.
Now she can walk and is clearly recovering.

I am glad the horse was found in time. It would have been so sad for her to die alone in a field, uncared for.
I guess there is a lesson here. If you know of someone who died, just check to see if their pets have been cared for. If you have pets make a point of asking one or more people to check on your pets if anything happens to you. We love our pets. We would never want them to go through what Marianthi went through.
