Animals adore their babies and just want to protect them, just like people do. Unfortunately, birthing problems do happen often.
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 feeling sad.
The Netherlands’ Queen Uniek, a Friesian horse, was carrying her first baby. 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.
An hour later, Uniek gave birth, and the doctors who helped her pulled out a foal that wasn’t breathing. Although they tried their best, it was too late to save him. He failed to succeed.
To console Uniek, Yvonne remained behind.
The heartbroken mare tried repeatedly to revive her foal by licking him, but it was unsuccessful. While Yvonne kept comforting Uneik, they removed the foal from her stable. She was aware that her beloved horse was suffering greatly.
Then, fantastic news reached Yvonne and the rest of the Friesian Horses team. Her friend called and informed her that they were taking care of an orphaned foal.
She wasn’t sure how Queen Uniek would react to the birth of another horse, but she believed it might be the solution to her sadness.
They transported the foal to their property by loading it into a van. If Uniek was interested in taking the foal in as her own, Yvonne wanted to ask. While the foal had no mother, she lost her son. There was a lot of hope in the barn.
The foal was slowly brought up to Uniek by Yvonne. The initial interactions were extremely hesitant. The foal returned her sniff by doing the same.
They could tell she was thrilled to have the foal in front of her because she jumped a little, almost as if she were claiming him as her own.
It was a truly unique moment. 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 she had ever seen whenever Yvonne took the two out in the pasture.
Like any juvenile animal, he ran and played around without restraint. Uniek, on the other hand, kept her infant in sight and trailed closely after him.
