A horse in Utah has been reunited with its family after escaping during a camping trip
Utah native Shane Adams experienced a number of big life changes over the course of eight years — the same period of time that his beloved horse, Mongo, had been missing from home.
Adams went through a divorce, lost his home and suffered a major brain injury due to a life-threatening car crash. Then, in September, he finally received some amazing news: His horse Mongo was found.
“[I thought], ‘There is no way. You have got to be kidding me,’” Adams told Fox News Digital of his reaction to learning the news about Mongo.
“It didn’t even seem real … To have him back is still not real,” he said.
Adams, 40, grew up riding and training horses his entire life, but he had never experienced as strong a bond as he had with Mongo, he said.
