Abused mama horse rescued from a slaughterhouse meets her baby for first time

We know animals are sentient beings.

That is, they can feel pain and suffering, make decisions, and experience emotions just like humans.

We also know that animals are individuals with distinct personalities, just like us.

But what many people don’t realize is that these sentient beings have rights too—just like we do.

They have a right to life; they have a right to freedom.

They deserve freedom from abuse.

It’s time for humanity to recognize this truth and embrace our responsibility towards our fellow creatures on this earth.

Hearing about an animal in danger is always upsetting.

But thankfully, there are plenty of charitable individuals and organizations working to preserve these animals.

One organization is Crossfire Equine Rescue.

This group rescues underprivileged horses. A mare named Fancy who was pregnant was one of the horses they managed to save.

She was about to be killed for food, but thankfully someone saved her.

But the encounter has left Fancy scarred, and she now lives in perpetual terror of people.

Topping things off, Fancy was pregnant.

The staff at Crossfire Equine Rescue in Texas promptly stopped everything to save Fancy from her fate after learning of her plight.

Fancy was assisted by Annie Shurtleff and her colleagues, who are committed to assisting horses in need.

The poor horse was traumatized.

Fancy was scared of her rescuers even after Annie’s crew had rescued her from the slaughterhouse auction.

The rescue team made every effort to gain Fancy’s trust in order to calm her down and gain her acceptance.

To illustrate how kind they were, they frequently spent the night in the barn with her.

Eventually, she started warming up.

Fancy finally was able to show her loving side to the rescuers as she warmed up to them with time, love, and devotion.

This pregnant horse gave birth to a sweet foal soon after being saved.

The birth was easy and painless.

The newborn was then introduced to Fancy for the first time.

The expression on Fancy’s face when she sees her infant tells it all.

It demonstrates how appreciative this horse is to Crossfire Equine Rescue for saving her and enabling her to give birth to a gorgeous newborn boy.

As the newborn foal grew older, Fancy and her child devoted a lot of time to each other.

It was a precious sight to see.

Fancy has been doing well after giving birth a few years ago. She and her child have both since been adopted into loving families.

Fancy was so apprehensive after all of her difficult life experiences that it took Crossfire Equine Rescue some time to locate the ideal home for her.

However, she was fortunate to find an owner who would be patient with her.

Fancy is already enjoying her new home to the fullest.

We’re happy that Fancy is now in a wonderful home where she can unwind and take in the fresh air without a concern in the world after going through so much in her life.

Everything does work out in the end.

See the precious moment Fancy meets her foal for the first time in the video below!
