I'd love to be able to say something about fences being fixed or worried owners but I can't the guy sent two friends to pick him up in a cattle trailer filed with calves.
I will say one thing this mini turned out to be a lesson in the fact you can not save them all. He had enough to eat with just what he could find in the field to keep him healthy and outside of the lack of anything like good fence for his safety he really wasn't in any danger or being abused. This little pony brings up one point that is the hardest for horse people to remember, you can not save them all. True, he would take up almost nothing in space and feed but when taking on another horse the question of cost for vets and to have their feet trimmed on time as well as that late night vet call on a weekend that always comes up when money is tight.
With reports piling up about horses being seized from rescue groups and from good hearted people that just wanted to help ask your self first do I really have the time and money for this one too? if the answer comes back sounding like, 'well I'll make it work' or 'I'll find the money' please walk away or find someone that has the money and time because you alone can not save them all.
