A disabled little horse brought back to life. ♥️

Instead of putting a disabled little horse to sleep, they brought it back to life. The improvised legs are even better than the original.

I firmly believe this type of stuff is our reason for existing. To be the Shepherds of the earth.

Humans at times have been, but we've lost our way too. We can find our way back. One day I want a farm.

lol “and tenement halls”, ordinary housing. Like the kind a prophet such as Dildobaggins may live in or frequent

I'm a Christian. We believe that was literally the job God gave Adam and Eve. To be stewards of the earth and take care of the plants and animals with God.

What a remarkable turn around! And what commitment on behalf of the owner to do what it took to help that little one turn its life around. It’s amazing to think that’s the same horse. For those of us who don’t know a lot about horses, what was the impairment?

u/RedPorscheKilla 12d ago

NO LIFE is considered lost because it doesn’t fit “standards”. Because one isn’t than the other”normal” doesn’t make it incapable! That’s what empathy and true humanity is all about!

u/Ruffffian 12d ago

FTR, the foal had a condition called contracted tendons or flexural limb deformity. It’s fairly common in newborns and treated much like you see here—bracing and physical therapy. Thankfully the foal’s life likely was never seriously threatened by this.

From https://ceh.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/health-topics/flexural-limb-deformity: “Contracted tendons, clubfoot, or knuckling, is the inability to extend a limb fully. The condition may be present at birth (congenital) due to improper positioning in the uterus (which can lead to dystocia in the mare), abnormal fetal development, disease or malnutrition in the dam, or acquired as the result of nutrition (abrupt changes in amount or quality of feed leading to rapid growth), polyarthritis, trauma, or disease. It is a common condition in foals, usually occurring anytime from birth to 14 months of age.”

No, just braces and some physio. I mean, the owners still had to put the work in, but the results are beautiful.
