Sneed hears NuNu, the mare who was badly injured during a wild ride with the “Dread Head Cowboy” down the Dan Ryan Expressway in September, may get a new stall mate as soon as Friday.
And it turns out, it’s an old neighbor!
After the American Paint horse was badly injured while being galloped at full trot in improper shoes on concrete for nearly eight miles, NuNu was taken to Forest Park Farms in Tinley Park to recover. While originally officials didn’t know if she would survive, she is doing much better and will be OK, her caretakers have said.

Adam Hollingsworth said his expressway horse ride was part of a Kids Lives Matter demonstration. (Illinois State Police)
CHICAGO, IL The man known as the Dreadhead Cowboy, who is facing a felony animal cruelty charge, was ordered this week to have no contact with the horses he owns. Adam Hollingsworth, 33, was arrested in September after police said a rush-hour gallop on the Dan Ryan which was livestreamed by Hollingsworth left his horse gravely injured.
Officials feared the horse, named NuNu, would have to be euthanized after the 7.5-mile highway ride, which police said caused injuries including a bleeding left foot, an injured right foot and sores on the right side of its body from the saddle.
