Looks like she was waiting for her memory of walking to return. Been absent for so long. Smart horse. You just don't know what they're thinking. Foal knew all about it. thanks to caring guy.
A million thanks to you for the life saving help you give to these animals. People who do these acts of kindness are Angel's on earth and a true blessing to these animals. God bless everyone always.
What an amazing outcome for that mare. Its only been from the recent ingenuity of people like this, that horses and other hooved animals are living new lives. Up until approx 15-20 years ago, a 3 legged horse would be put down. God Bless you for helping these precious animals. 🙏❤
Most ponies (Because they weigh less and are smaller=sturdier) could get away with a good prosthetic (Or a pogo leg in some cases) but horses who are forced to wear prosthetics don't end up living much longer due to continuous health problems/decline. They are too big and will sadly have to wait for something much more accommodating. Most people show the before but never the end story of whether the new legs are worth it for some of these horses.
Any time a person amputates the leg of a horse rather than euthanize them immediately, they're making a big commitment to the animal and deserve to be praised; these people are even more awesome for helping come up with long-term solutions. You can associate 'going out to walk' with 'having the leg on' so that she learns she doesn't have it in the stall and does have it out of the stall.
Did the mare get any physical therapy while unable to walk? If not, I would expect a lot more problems than she seemed to have. She clearly did stand at least, even if she didn't walk. I am curious to know more.
Make sure she has enough padding, alot of soft cotton between leg and her body. More padding please, as much as you can for pressure and around the sides. I know have had that experience.
I know equestrians and others who think prosthetics for horses is abusive because of the weight that’s put on the leg, but I haven’t seen enough science to prove or disprove this. I’ve seen a horse or two who can run with their prosthetics, and I think when she gets used to hers things will be more hopeful.
Not trying to be a bitter Betty but I’m sorry I feel like an animal like this especially a horse that this just isn’t the best quality of life even with the prosthetic . Not to mention the mares underweight and just looks awful I hate to say it but it would’ve just been better to put the horse out of its misery and not let it have to suffer life like this 🥺
I agree but, sometimes its better for the owner, and the foal gets to have her/his mother for a little longer, yes the mare isnt going so well but she cant leave her foal!!!
@@I_eat_cats11 she can leave her foal .. a mare like this should not be having a foal anyway . There are places and people that have mares available if a baby needs a mom !
When I watched this I cried... not out of happiness or because I had my heart strings pulled on like most of the comments on here. I cried because they let this poor pony suffer for a whole year, extremely underweight and in pain, unable to walk and having a foal on top of that for the sake of "saving" her, prioritizing living for life's sake (or for clicks on social media and views on television...) over quality of life. I'm disgusted.
While it is true that this could have been done sooner, you’re being dramatic. The horse can finally care for her baby properly, and that’s what matters.
