00:04 Sadie actually came from Lancaster shelter.

00:07 The first day that they brought her down,

00:08 we thought she looked a little chunky.

00:10 I had our vet out here the following day,

00:12 and indeed, she had been seven months pregnant.

00:15 Taking on a pregnant horse, you have

00:17 to treat them with kit gloves.

00:18 You have to give them supplements.

00:19 During the birthing of a foal, they

00:21 can suffocate if they don't come out of the birth canal

00:24 properly.

00:25 We missed seeing the little scout born

00:27 because it happened between 9 at night and 5 in the morning.

00:30 I guess he was a perfect little boy when he came out.

00:32 We didn't have any issues with him.

00:34 The first day that Scout was born, we had our vet up here

00:37 to assess them, making sure that he was OK.

00:39 Everything was perfect.

00:41 So from the point that little Scout was born,

00:44 we've been very touchy-feely with him.

00:45 It's called imprinting.

00:47 The more touching you have on a little foal like that,

00:49 their personality comes out.

00:50 And the more trusting they become of humans.

00:54 I'm the founder and president of Lange Foundation.

00:58 Knowing that I've saved these horses,

01:00 plus the others that are here at this sanctuary,

01:04 that's hardly any.

01:05 We're talking about hundreds of thousands that need saving.

01:08 And there has to be more national awareness of what

01:12 is going on with these horses.

01:13 And it's going to take a lot more than one very small animal

01:17 sanctuary to make an impact on these lives.

01:20 I feel the same way about when I go to an animal shelter

01:24 and I get 10 dogs and 10 cats.

01:27 When I leave, all I can think about are the ones left behind.

01:31 You don't think about the ones that are safe.

01:33 That's done.

01:34 They're safe now.

01:35 But what about the ones left behind?

01:38 There's never any self-satisfaction

01:39 in the rescue world that I've ever found.

01:43 Sadiya is the most loving mother.

01:46 She's very protective of him.

01:47 But if she knows you, she will let you come in and touch

01:49 the cow.

01:50 Her personality, she's calmed down quite a bit.

01:53 She's very loving.

01:54 She's very trusting.

01:55 And she wasn't like that when she got here.

01:57 She was very fearful.

01:58 Today, she's very calm.

02:00 She lets us all go in there and touch her little boy,

02:03 pet her, take her out for walks.

02:04 We turn him out in the front now.

02:06 She's a completely different horse now since last year.

02:09 Sadiya and the foal did find their forever home.

02:11 The family is wonderful.

02:13 They've got some teenage kids.

02:14 They're into 4H.

02:16 They're very hands-on with their animals.

02:18 I went out and did a facility check.

02:20 The little pigs, goats, they had a little sheep.

02:23 And they're a very, very loving family.

02:25 We're very lucky that they decided

02:26 to pick Sadiya and her foal.

02:29 They're going to have a wonderful, wonderful life

02:30 ahead of them.
