Starving Horse Becomes So Gorgeous And HAPPY | The Dodo First Taste Of Freedom

I received an anonymous message saying, I think you should know what's going on with some horses across the river. Immediately we just made the decision to go pick them up. Rosie was just depressed. Her spirit was very, very low. The three of them were just so beat down, but we brought all three horses home. Rosie was with her daughter and then another horse. They were just so anxious. Even when we got back to the farm, this is going to be a safe place for them. The horses either had to fight for their food or just don't get it. And I can't even imagine feeling like, gee, I don't know if I'm going to eat today. Do you want some? You don't have to share it. It's all yours. We're going to help you get better. My fingers are between her ribs. I can see and feel every single rib. Her ears, everything just picked up. Like, oh, that feels good. We were definitely mostly worried about Rosie just because she was really, really bony. Her skin was awful. She was anxious. Her energy was up. She was circling. They needed to be in quarantine here about a month before we could release Simmons in her own field. I'm excited to see the girls run across the field and be so happy to be free. So we're going to make this experience as wonderful as we can for her. Oh, good girl. Do you like that? Oh, it's even shiny already. I really, I can't get over the transformation. I got a Facebook message from somebody saying that the girl who handed me Rosie on the farm had been trying to help the horses. I invited her out to the farm and told her that I want her to be part of their recovery. I was super excited that Deanna ended up taking the girls. The first day, being at Lucky Orphans, being able to see Rosie, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. She knew I was there, and she was super excited. When I was in seventh grade, I started getting anxiety and depression. And being around the horses, it makes everything go away and makes me happy. When I first met Rosie, she reached under the electric fence to get some grass. When I saw that, it broke my heart. I had to help her. She became very attached to me. So did I. Whatever we go through, like we've been going through together. Amanda had told me that by working with the girls where they were, she would always try and sneak them food, and she would actually get yelled at. I love that about her. I love that she would rather get yelled at than see the horses suffer. Her skin is healthier. They're still underweight, but they're doing really, really well. I can't wait to see how they will react to being able to run around. When I first met Rosie, she was very nervous. I could see it in her eyes. And now she has the softest look in her eyes when you approach her. Mamas, we're going to go outside soon in the paddock. You going to run around and eat some grass? Good girl, mamas. The girls are getting their hooves trimmed first before they get released into the paddock so they can feel more comfortable running around. Their hooves were super overlong, cracked, brittle. That's a good girl. I'm so proud. Rosie's gaining weight. She's spirited. She's recovering so well. I come to visit about three to four times a week from my house. It's about two hours away. I will be staying over at the rescue. We will be releasing Rosie tomorrow. This is where I'll be staying for the night. So today was not a good day for the horse turnout. Hopefully it stops raining and on Monday they can go out. I don't want them slipping in the mud or getting hurt, so we'll wait until it's a little bit drier. It's finally time to release the horses. Good morning, girls. We have an exciting day for you today. You guys ready? Personality, body, spirit, everything about them, they're just like brand new horses. To the left of the barn. Oh, so fresh. I think that Amanda and Rosie have definitely helped each other. You know, she was the horse that Amanda chose and Amanda was the human that she chose. Don't worry. Deanna is definitely a badass woman. She works hard and she's like a role model. I'm actually even thinking about going back to school to take care of horses and possibly have my own rescue at some point. Good girl. One, two, three. Go, go, go. Oh, girls, so happy. Oh, that's it. That's the excitement. They're like, this is unbelievable. Look at all this clover. It's refreshing to know that they're safe now. They don't ever have to worry about food or shelter again. They're home and they're healthy and they can stay that way. Yes, go, go, go. I wasn't planning on running myself. Oh, my gosh. I don't think I've smiled this big in so long. Look at them. It's like the greatest feeling in the world to be able to watch them and just be happy, happy girls. This is home now and they are each other's home.
