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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I’m so thankful for the owner that they thought of what is best for the pony❤

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.

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."

How fortunate for both Tella and her beautiful foal. I am happy for both.

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.

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 !! :)

Bless her heart. The owner was blessed for buying her. That's one BEAUTIFUL foal!!!❤️❤️❤️

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!

Always remind the viewers that HRH Princess Anne has adopted a lovely pony from you.

She is in the best place with you to provide what she and her foal need. Thank goodness there are people like 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.

So glad Tella is in safe hands, and what an adorable rather big foal Fortune is. 🐴❤💕

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.

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!

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."

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".

A breath of fresh air watching this video about these beautiful creatures.

I have rescued three horses from auction and have never been disappointed!

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.

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

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.

Tella and Fortune are beautiful. She was lucky to have landed in a soft place.

This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for rescuing Tella and her precious baby.

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.

Beautiful work, World Horse Welfare Grooms, Inspectors and Managers. Thank you!

I love seeing people helping animals and other people.

That foal's marking is what we call a Medicine Hat here in the States. They have a special place in the world.

Precious video, thumbnail had me wheezing 🤣 Tella was much smaller than i expected, but she looks so happy to be a mum.

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.

Not Tella photobombing!! So adorable

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.❤💋🫂

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 😊💖🐴💖

OMG, the Mare is HUGE! Wow! Clearly she had a beautiful foal and everything turned out okay !

Beautiful mare and foal and in gd hands now thank you for the fantastic jib you do xxx

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.

She had a medicine hat baby! Beautiful!

Mom smiling into the camera, just ♥️warming. Big baby, too.

Sweet Tella and Fortune in the clover! ❤🧡💚💙💜 What a very happy beginning for them!

She’s a lovely little pony with a beautiful foal.

The foal is adorable and the mare I love the videos

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.💔

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.

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.

My Shetland looked like this and luckily foaled out just fine.

Tells seems like such a sweet girl. So sad how she was given away in such a condition.

Tella is such a pretty girl. Prayers for a easy birth & healthy foal !!

So hope Tella isn't separated from her foal.

Great message! Be wise when buying any live animals. Bless you for taking over her care.

I love how cute the foal is it’s so cute!!!❤

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

Isn't she beautiful 😍 God bless and thankyou for your compassion ❤️

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.

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 🇺🇾

You all do a great job, well done 👍

Happy little joy of a gift!!! I'd feel very blessed.

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.

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

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.

What a gorgeous 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.✊♥️

2:51 Tella is SO asleep, that's adorable

Thank you for your hard work and compation .🙏🐎🐎❤️

Bless and thank you for taking this sweet horse and her little baby ❤️❤️❤️

What A Unique Looking Baby, Beautiful

So sorry to the lady that had this happen , but so much respect for her doing right by tella ❤️

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

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.

Beautiful Tella and Fortune, I'm glad they landed somewhere they could be cared for and rehomed!

252, yes and we appreciate all the work you do because we know it's a 24/7 job!!

THIS IS A WONDERFUL STORY JUST LOOK AT A MOMA IN FOAL.. WONDERFUL

Aaww. Beautiful momma and foal. May they both find wonderful new homes. 🐎❤️

What a beautiful bonus 😍 ❤

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.

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.

What a lovely coloured

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

Thank you for your work ❤

Oh my goodness she is huge 😮but very beautiful. ❤❤❤

She is beautiful and that foal is so cute!

AWWWWWW FORTUNE AND TELLA I GET IT!!❤❤

Beautiful pie-bald foal!

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.

Awe, mama melts by the loving touch of your gentle stroke.

That's a beautiful surprise.

That happened to the family, of a childhood friend. Her Dad bought a blood bay mare; at a sale; and several months later; she surprised everyone with a paint filly.

Look at that adorable mustache ❤

Wonderful outcome! Good job!

One of a kind little foal called a bald face with mousie color ! Beautiful

Gives me those, “buy one get one free!” Vibes .

Awwww they are both so beautiful!

Bless all of you for the care and Love you give all these sweet souls

Absolutely magnificent l cried tears of joy for the beautiful MUM AND CHILD XXXX ❤ 💕 ♥ 💖 💙

Beautiful, what a lovely foal, she’s going to be a big girl, look at the length of those legs. NEVER buy unseen, unless you know exactly what you are doing and are experienced to deal with issues. Charities are the best places to go to, if you don’t have the knowledge and need help, support and advice.

😳 omg ,what a belly 🙏💖💐

Oh gosh, they are both so beautiful!!
