00:00She was already in her late 20s when they found her.
00:03There you go. That's what you're supposed to do.
00:07But when she first arrived at the rescue, she wouldn't let anyone near her.
00:11Hi. I told you we're going to be best friends.
00:16Her name is Abigail, and she had been used as a bucking pony for entertainment.
00:20Hi.
00:22While giving her treatment for an infection, they found something that they were not expecting.
00:27She was pregnant.
00:30It's a baby.
00:32We have a baby.
00:33It's a little baby.
00:39When her foal, Rue was born, she knew exactly what to do.
00:42She was calm, attentive, and, of course, incredibly protective.
00:47What's going to hurt your baby?
00:50What are you doing to your mama?
00:54I eat her.
00:55She says, stop and protect me, mom.
00:58And then something else happened.
01:02More babies started to be born at the rescue, and Abigail took them in, too.
01:07So not just her own baby, all of them.
01:11They follow her everywhere, and she follows them everywhere.
01:15It's the cutest thing.
01:16Ah!
01:18Jeez!
01:20And just watching her now, it's really hard not to think about how she became the one protecting
01:24everyone else, even though no one did that for her.
01:28No one did that for her.
01:30No one did that for her.
01:30No one did that for her.
