I really felt sorry for the young woman that bought Tella. She got had and is now out of the hard earned money she paid but; the worst part is, her dream of owning a horse was shattered. I'm very happy though that she did what was best for Tella and her unborn baby. You simply can not put a price on life. Thank you, for helping them all.
But could Tella not go back to her once she is recovered?
Maybe the want of a horse was to make it possible to save the horse. Maybe she doesn’t have that wish any longer, maybe it’s been satisfied. They should have a part 2
@@johannageisel5390 I suspect she wasnt even really broken for riding as they said they were looking at her as a companion loan not a ridden loan.
@@johannageisel5390 agreed. I'm kinda annoyed that she is potentially not going back to her original owner
@@shetlandsheep3081 did you watch the video? She purchased her sight unseen as her first horse.
That was a very responsible horse owner to realize she was in over her head and ask for help! All for the good of the horse and foal!
My mare was 2 months pregnant when i got her, but the owner was honest. She is a registered Morgan, bred to a registered Morgan sire. She had her foal 9 months later. We were ready, and she had a beautiful filly, who is now 11 years old and a joy to behold! The mare was 13 when she was born. And is living a happy retired life here.
I’m so thankful for the owner that they thought of what is best for the pony❤
How fortunate for both Tella and her beautiful foal. I am happy for both.
I'm so glad she's safe. I feel sorry for the young lady who began her rescue without even knowing it. I hope she finds her equine companion.
My late father, a saddler and horse whisperer, always said never buy a horse unseen then did just that with a pony bound for the knackery! She was a great companion for many years, but I did have a laugh at one time when she pig rooted and bucked my elderly Dad off.His patience was commendable. RIP Dad and Penny.
Had something similar happen when I bought a mare from a local auction, despite interrogating the (dodgy) seller. Found out later through a third party that the mare had been running with his Welsh cob stallion and ten months later, I had a bouncing filly foal. Twenty-four years later, I still have her, although her mum sadly passed away two years ago. In my case, it worked out very well, and both my girls were worth the inconvenience, but I was lucky in that I had the facilities and experience to deal with it all. I'm glad Tella got the care she and her foal needed.
I love how, in the middle of Fern's explanation, the other pony came in like, "Hey, Tella, just want to check in on how you're doing."
I’m so happy to see that Tella was bought by a young woman who loved her enough to seek the right home and care for her. I don’t even know what I would do if I bought a mare that was carrying!
Also, shame on horse owners who are deceitful and false, it makes it impossible to take at face value anything you are told. I learned the hard way too to involve a veterinarian and a mentor or expert in purchasing. I bought an off the track thoroughbred, who was so sweet and calm the few times I visited and rode him. Turns out he was mostly likely heavily medicated, and I didn’t know what to look for(droopy lips, hanging head). He ended up being dangerous and having a canon bone injury. I am much wiser now, but it was hard earned!
That poor little Mare! Tella's foal looks very much as if it was sired by a Clydesdale.
It's huge. It has shaggy hoofs, a white face and a roan coat. Clydie characteristics!
Poor little Tella!
I would love to see how he turns out.
*she
Foal certainly looks that way, but could a Clydesdale stallion mate a mare that's less than half his height? Maybe some mixed small heavy horse sire with Clydesdale in his background. I see Clydesdale mares & foals near here and the foals are taller than Tells!
She is in the best place with you to provide what she and her foal need. Thank goodness there are people like you. 🇬🇧♥️
I think it's great that the owner put the love for her pony first. A lesson to everyone struggling. ❤❤
Years ago, this happened to a friend. When she bought her mare it was in foal, but it wasn't far along, so you couldn't physically tell....When the mare started suddenly putting on SO much weight, they were surprised - since her diet hadn't changed - and they called in a vet to 'see what was wrong'......LOL So, a few months later, the mare delivered a colt. They called him ' Shannon's Secret'. 'Shannon' for the mare, and 'Secret' was his everyday, barn name !! :)
I think Shannon's Secret is such a gorgeous name 😍
My father's rule, and one I have always lived by is, " always assume a mare is in foal when you buy!"
Bless her heart. The owner was blessed for buying her. That's one BEAUTIFUL foal!!!❤️❤️❤️
Does the owner get the foal? It doesn’t really sound like it. How was she blessed??
@@amyfu2047 Of course she gets the foal! She's blessed because she got two horses for one. Use your common sense. Oh wait, your comment proves you have none......
Love the droopy lip! I rescued an extremely plump pony mare, sight unseen, with her ancient donkey Jack companion. Sadly no foal, just a very thrifty Shetland cross!
A breath of fresh air watching this video about these beautiful creatures.
Always remind the viewers that HRH Princess Anne has adopted a lovely pony from you.
That is one adorable baby. Thanks to the team that took her on and for her owner for being brave enough to seek help to do right by the mare and baby.
Let's be thankful she had the smarts to get the horse double checked before she tried to do anything like riding her. That could have been disastrous otherwise.
I love seeing people helping animals and other people.
I learned everything I could before I bought a mare. She got pregnant and I was up with her all night until we brought her foal into the world. I had a granddaddy who knew everything about herbs and when he was alive he taught me everything he could. One of my best friends was studying to be a vet. So I had all my bases covered. I was 16 and she and her colt were my everything.
So glad Tella is in safe hands, and what an adorable rather big foal Fortune is. 🐴❤💕
Tella and Fortune are beautiful. She was lucky to have landed in a soft place.
Beautiful work, World Horse Welfare Grooms, Inspectors and Managers. Thank you!
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for rescuing Tella and her precious baby.
Mom is a beauty and sweet. Fortune is adorable. She's not too big. And mom is in love with her baby. I'm glad you can help with her care and healing. Fortune seems happy by giving kisses.❤💋🫂
Beautiful mare and foal and in gd hands now thank you for the fantastic jib you do xxx
I know it's a sad story, but the names for these two are perfect. Tella for Nutella, and Fortune fits well with Tella as a "fortune teller".
Precious video, thumbnail had me wheezing 🤣 Tella was much smaller than i expected, but she looks so happy to be a mum.
Not Tella photobombing!! So adorable
We bought a old mare long ago. We saved her from a trail ride service and being dog food. Surprise we had a beautiful Tennessee Walker. Bigger surprise a beautiful filly with a 3/4 star and snip. Oh she was so fun to ride, a real joy.
That foal's marking is what we call a Medicine Hat here in the States. They have a special place in the world.
No it's not, just a bald face
How wonderful that WHW is able to help in situations like this 💖 At the end of the day, certainly looks as if beautiful Tella ended up in the best place for her and her gorgeous foal, love Fortune's colouring and name 😊💖🐴💖
Obviously we don't know who thr owner is, that asked for help but I would like to say, younare awesome. How many times do we see this exact same story, it happened to my sister with her dales mare.and now 8 year old dales daughter, that she kept, we all helped. However, this story often has a just get itbsold asap, back in a dealers yard as quick as possible because people "want their money back". The trauma most of these animals go through at the most vulnerable time is hell. The fact this lady got help and a secure place says so much about her. Just had to say.
The foal is adorable and the mare I love the videos
She’s a lovely little pony with a beautiful foal.
Poor girl, my fell also has mallenders and it’s an absolute pain to deal with. Never really goes away, just has to be managed. Someone really took advantage of a first time buyer not really knowing what they’re doing
Mom smiling into the camera, just ♥️warming. Big baby, too.
I've never been around horses much so I don't know much about them except how to fall off one. Tella looks like such a gentle soul.
OMG, the Mare is HUGE! Wow! Clearly she had a beautiful foal and everything turned out okay !
You always like to think people are honest but I've seen some pretty egregious lies at livestock sales at least over here in the states. Even in person it's best if your a first time buyer to bring along somebody who's been around the block so to speak and can spot things you're green to notice. One of the things I see out here a lot is selling miniatures and ponys as "completely broken" and "bomb proof" when in reality they're ridden around the sales arena by a kid WAY too big for them to comfortably carry. It's hard to buck and be stubborn when you have a giant on your back.
Sadly a lot of people are liars when it comes to selling horses or ponies, and my advice is to never believe what they say, and always get the horse you're thinking of buying vetted by a reputable vet, and not by the sellers vet. I nearly got caught once when I went to try a horse I was interested in buying, and he was just what I wanted, and I rode him and was very happy with him. I decided wisely to have him vetted, and sadly he failed the vetting because he had Arthritis in his hocks, I was broken hearted 💔 😢
liars are everywhere, not just in US. Puppies that are sold as "pure" (and accordingly priced) but when they grow up they're nothing like the race they're supposed to be. Horses that have medical condition(s), the owner know but don't say anything (here you can sue the seller if the animal has a medical condition, but you have to prove that he knew BEFORE selling them, and that there was a real intention to deceive). That's why here, pre-purchase vet visit is more and more popular, to be sure there's nothing wrong with the legs or the back. Maybe costly, but aways less than if you have to pay thousands of vet bills to fix a leg or you have to retire your horse at 7yo because of a bad back
there's even a well known animal traffic here, that consists of taking all the "free kitten" people have, and sell them as "pure-breed cat", sold like 600, sometimes more for popular breeds.
My father was jipped one time at an auction. The horse was drugged. They said his name was Midnight; Dad renamed him Nightmare. He found someone who trained horses and was impressed with his strength and a beautiful black. So he went to a good home that could take care of him.
Great that you all are sharing this knowledge. 👍🏼👍🏼
I commend everyone for what has happened and I love the creatures they're fabulous. However I have a question of concern .How is the previous owner doing. My heart also goes out to her.💔
She had a medicine hat baby! Beautiful!
NOT a Medicine Hat, they are mostly white, and pinto! Her foal does not meet the definition, not even close.
Thank you for providing an amazing future for Tella and Fortune! I live in the state of Louisiana in the US and love watching your stories.
Me too!
Sweet Tella and Fortune in the clover! ❤🧡💚💙💜 What a very happy beginning for them!
What a wonderful surprise. God bless the momma horse and the foal when born and a big thank you to the buyer for taking a chance.
What a gorgeous baby!!
You all do a great job, well done 👍
Tella is such a pretty girl. Prayers for a easy birth & healthy foal !!
She had a beautiful, healthy little girl
Tells seems like such a sweet girl. So sad how she was given away in such a condition.
I have rescued three horses from auction and have never been disappointed!
What A Unique Looking Baby, Beautiful
I love how cute the foal is it’s so cute!!!❤
Thanks God it all went well for both of them. I wish mom Tella and baby a loving family. Cheers from Silvana from South America Uruguay 🇺🇾
That is one thing my father taught me as child, partly because many of our horses were from wild horse auctions, "assume every mare you buy is in foal! If you can't or don't want two horses don't buy a mare."
Ive had this same surprize with a small very skinny pony i purchased from the doggers/meat section of a horse sale, i couldnt even tell mine was in foal.
Thank you for your hard work and compation .🙏🐎🐎❤️
Great message! Be wise when buying any live animals. Bless you for taking over her care.
Happy little joy of a gift!!! I'd feel very blessed.
My Shetland looked like this and luckily foaled out just fine.
What a lovely coloured
It's not coloured ... Quite clearly blagdon
How good you are to help that beautiful Horse.
Tella is a sweet Horse and her baby is so cute.
I, lol, at the smile she has in that picture. She is very
happy about her sweet baby.
All the best to you and Tella and her baby.❤❤
Jeff
Yes, it is very sad that the purchaser had to give up her horse, but she was smart and assessed her situation accurately and she did the right thing. She did the right thing by the mare, not herself, even though she had to say goodbye. She is a truly good person. And this group provided for all of this mare’s needs.
Bless and thank you for taking this sweet horse and her little baby ❤️❤️❤️
Had 2 ponies stay with us in one of our fields to have their fouls.
My dad helped both fouls & we were able to watch the birth from a distance.
Amazing, wonderful!
Fouls were both up & running before end of the day.
This poor mare has health issues though, hope she’s all better now.
What a gorgeous foul.✊♥️
She is beautiful and that foal is so cute!
Aaww. Beautiful momma and foal. May they both find wonderful new homes. 🐎❤️
What a beautiful bonus 😍 ❤
Oh my goodness she is huge 😮but very beautiful. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your work ❤
So glad that the buyer thought of her pony first when she had saved to buy this pony and found out she was in foal. Hope she finds a local equine to purchase. Have the veterinarian check equine befor purchase and do homework on seller as well. Try to find out history of anomal IF that is possible. I bought 3- 4 horses over the years and did just what I advised. I am in NY state( around Albany area.).A respinsible horse owner I know checked and purchased a horse at an auction. She did as much homework as possible.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL STORY JUST LOOK AT A MOMA IN FOAL.. WONDERFUL
Beautiful Tella and Fortune, I'm glad they landed somewhere they could be cared for and rehomed!
I'm very happy that Tella had a very healthy foal. Very gorgeous! Glad the woman did the right thing by giving Tella to the rescue.
I know you won't say it but here in the USA many like poor Tells are simply sold off for meat and low quality goods. Good on the buyer and you all for not going down that route.
*How we treat animals is an expression of how thankful we are for our own blessings.* ~ive 2022
So sorry to the lady that had this happen , but so much respect for her doing right by tella ❤️
that young woman buying her saved her life. no telling what those people would have sold her to or how she'd been. she got her and got world horse welfare to help. so glad things turned out well for her
It always amazes me how such a big, long legged foal will fit into a mare! I'd like to see how it is folded into a small space, and how it must unfold and make it's way out without trouble, usually.
Even though the young woman is out money, I think it was a blessed thing because this horse got rescued and put into a safe environment for treatment and to have her foal. Essentially, the young woman rescued a pony and her baby.
Absolutely magnificent l cried tears of joy for the beautiful MUM AND CHILD XXXX ❤ 💕 ♥ 💖 💙
2:51 Tella is SO asleep, that's adorable
Awe, mama melts by the loving touch of your gentle stroke.
So hope Tella isn't separated from her foal.
Bless all of you for the care and Love you give all these sweet souls
If someone has been saving up that much money and has been looking at many horses, I would not want to risk it all going wrong in the last minute (which is often where these stories could come out). I would want a vet check and many videos online show why it is important to be personally present at the vet check and bring an independant vet of your choice, otherwise people can team up to lie to you. Thanks for helping out.
That's a beautiful surprise.
Wonderful outcome! Good job!
AWWWWWW FORTUNE AND TELLA I GET IT!!❤❤
...and now I do too😁👍
Look at that adorable mustache ❤
Beautiful pie-bald foal!
Isn't she beautiful 😍
God bless and thankyou for your compassion ❤️
Awwww they are both so beautiful!
It feels like the owner before the young lady who bought Tella was not kind to Tella. Especially since this seller lied to the young lady. Kudos to the young lady who made the hard and good decision to get Tella the help she needs. Tella doesn’t know how lucky she is that the young lady bought her. That was the start of a beautiful life. Good luck to everyone involved.
One of a kind little foal called a bald face with mousie color ! Beautiful
Lovely pony ❤
Oh gosh, they are both so beautiful!!
THANK YOU FOR NOT ONLY RESCUING THE MARE BUT ALSO KEEPING HER BEAUTIFUL FOAL!!!...AWWWSOME!!!💜😍🐎🐴😊🙋🙏👌👍
Thank you for helping the young owner. I'm sure after saving up for their 1st horse they were heartbroken.
However, acquiring any animal it's not just the cost of the animal purchase, its the upkeep and having the resources and finances to cover unexpected medical costs. If the horse wasn't with foal but at some point fell ill, could you afford the vet fees and meds? If not, you're not ready to take on a pony or horse. You have to cover the rainy days not just the sunny ones.
I'm so happy you guys are caring for these 2 beautiful babies
My friend's horse gave birth to a beautiful colt 2 days ago. We had no idea she was pregnant, and apparently neither did her previous owners. We were in quite a shock when my friend got a call from someone who was going around feeding the horses their hay and morning feeds at around 6 when she found the foal in her stable. Thank god they were both alright and it was probably an easy birth
