Wannie the horse has become a nationally known name in the past two days.
But, fortunately the unlikely equine celebrity is blind to the flurry of attention - and he's taking his recovery nice and slow.
Jomarie Lanza reports.
This is Wanny today, still holding on, recovering and douses in antibiotics and ointments. Though his healing process will be a slow and painful one it's a miracle that he is alive..His teenaged owner says it's thanks to the help they got from the vet who stepped in.

"It the do good, because people gave me things to help him out. They said he is strong and will get back and we just have to clean him and deal with it every day."
"They gave him antibiotics, pain killers and thing for deworming as well, a medicine for deworming."
Broaster says he still can't wrap his head around how someone could have done this to his horse, but he is glad that he is now eating and moving around which is a good sign.
