The mother horse was in terrible pain, but then something wonderful happened.
Just like people, animals adore their young and only want to protect them.
Sadly, challenges might occur while giving birth.
Animals share our human experiences with us. If their child or children die at birth, mothers’ hearts also break. When parents realize they have lost their children, some people keep looking for them while also appearing depressed.
The Netherlands’ Queen Uniek, a Friesian horse, was carrying her first foal.
She realized there was a problem as soon as she started to give birth. She was burning her lips and strutting around within her stable because she was nervous about that specific moment. Her owner, Yvonne, stood next to her and made an effort to calm her down.
A foal that wasn’t breathing was removed by the medics who assisted Uniek after she gave birth an hour later. Despite their best efforts, it was too late to save him. He was not successful.
Yvonne stayed behind to comfort Uniek.
The distraught mare tried repeatedly to revive her foal by licking him, but it was unsuccessful. The foal was removed from the mare’s stable as Yvonne continued to console Uneik. She was aware that her beloved horse was suffering greatly.
The rest of the Friesian Horses crew, including Yvonne, were then informed of the wonderful news. Her buddy called to let her know they were taking care of an orphaned foal.
She wasn’t sure if Queen Uniek would be willing to accept the foal of another horse, but she thought it would be the solution to her sadness.
They loaded the foal into a van and drove it over to their land. Yvonne wanted to inquire if Uniek was considering adopting the foal. She lost her son even though the foal had no mother. In the barn, there was a lot of hope.
Yvonne led the foal cautiously up to Uniek.
Initial conversations were rather tentative. The foal gave her a sniff in return and did the same. She danced a little, almost as if she were claiming the foal as her own, so they could tell she was happy to have him in front of her.
It was a truly unique occasion. I never anticipated this happening. We were aware that Queen Uniek had approved Rising Star right away, Yvonne told The Dodo.
Queen Uniek has remained by Rising Star’s side ever since.
The following day, when they discovered the sweet mother and son inside their stable, Uniek developed strong feelings for the foal she had adopted. She followed him everywhere he went. Rising Star and Uniek frequently shared a path.
Rising Star was the happiest foal Yvonne had ever seen, and she was always when she took the two out in the pasture. Like any juvenile animal, he ran and moved around freely. Uniek, on the other hand, kept her infant in sight and trailed closely after him.
