While one item that retail giant Wal-Mart doesn't sell (for the moment) is harness horses, people may have started to wonder after a horse was found outside one of the stores

.

Reports indicate that a nine-year-old standardbred was abandoned at a Wal-Mart store in Middlefield, Ohio by an Amish teen.

Wal-Mart staff reportedly took care of the stranded standardbred, which they nicknamed 'Wally,' until local police were notified. According to reports, Geauga County Humane Society's Rescue Village took over control of the horse, which will be put up for adoption.

The standardred left at the Walmart store was ok, I assume. At least the teen left the horse where someone would find him and provide assistance for the animal. What happens to some standardbreds is sad and hopefully "Wally" will find a nice family to adopt him.

Thanks for listening!

Oh my goodness. Poor horse, but at least he has a great chance at a new home
