Most bizarre foal find

things happen REALLY fast when they start to happen. We had a local security company stop at our house to say a foal was reported... its literally 'drop' what your doing and go Now, situations
its reported she was in this spot for 2 days!
which is bizarre in itself - because we go that direction often. Never surprises me where they can be hidding in plain site.
we were initially worried about the goopy eyes, and swollen face...the vet said
yes, unusual her eyes are gooped (there is an official word for this haha) but she nots concerned about the eyes at the moment.
we ended up picking off hundreds of wood ticks..and Im sure there is more!
she is slowly getting used to us, which is going to be a whole other life lesson..as she is very established as a feral horse for several weeks with her momma living in the mountains.
today has been ALOT for this baby, we are still uncertain why she was left behind, and we only hope this next few days she stays on the up & up ... we will be watching her like a hawk! and if she shows any signs of lethargy, swollen joints or her swollen eyes gets worse, she will go directly back to the vet clinic
Welcome to the ranch baby girl.
as always, we THANK all our supporters, your donation and love have helped another foal life.

[@LeahsAbiding23]

Thank you all who have helped and are helping. This little filly is a lucky girl.

[@gmakoch3260]

She has pretty blue eyes! Poor little girl. All those ticks probably won't be good for her overall health. You & Jordan are a God Send!

[@karaamundson3964]

Not too unusual for young foals to have blue eyes...but I'm with you, LET'S GET THEM OL' TIX OFF!

[@dlmalley8639]

Blue eye 💙🥰

[@cyndi.K9090]

No probably not good for her.. absolutely not good. Dehydration, and can become anemic.

[@ginadeacon9920]

I would have taken those ticks off first, but thank you for rescuing her 🤔👏❤️

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

Y'all are superheroes in my book! She has beautiful kind, smart eyes, maybe she's puffy from a reaction to ticks?

[@pattimessenger6214]

Even with her being annoyed at you & Jordan picking off her tick, she already knows that you two are her new Mommy and Daddy!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

5:18 Look into those eyes. She's a keeper.

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

I thought the same thing! Blue eyes and that white face... keeper!

[@Whistlewalk]

She's a lovely little girl - glad she was found and thankful you can take care of her.

[@russelmurray9268]

Eucalyptus oil is great for helping heal the tick bites. Great for 4 legged animals an 2 legged animals

[@michaelallen2057]

May she stay healthy and thrive.

[@janiecehamblen933]

She is another pretty one! After holding her, you better check yourself for ticks too. They are fast pests

[@cherylmarquez2645]

With that one blue eye I think Skye would be a good name for her.

[@ZeCahli]

She is so beautiful and well-tempered!! Thank you for rescuing this sweet girl 🐴❤🎉

[@katherinwalter1826]

She is absolutely beautiful ! Thank you for rescuing her

[@yureituesday]

She’s BEAUTIFUL

[@renee2034]

Thank you for taking care of the feral foals.

[@Camilleshorses]

Our pleasure!

[@andreastephens007]

She is a cutie!❤

[@gailjordan9250]

That sweet baby knew you were helping her when you were at the clinic.

[@jeannerogers7085]

May you have better luck with this one!

[@KLG777]

What a beautiful face, what a huge blaze, love it, I hope this one thrives❤❤❤❤

[@karaamundson3964]

...and lovely pale sockies, so precious

[@debbiec4530]

I hope this little girl makes it!🤠💕🐴

[@NatureRocks.]

She is beautiful

[@budnspud]

I really hope she makes it. She’s already showing herself to be a smart gal.

[@JessicaCEP]

She looks like she was drinking water off that cement thing….she is beautiful!

[@Augustbeauty69]

Trying to. Poor baby.

[@cjacob9875]

Thank you for loving the babies!!!

[@kismypencek6185]

Omg she's so awesome!!! Her mommy did take care of her. Thank goodness you got all those tics off and dosed her with meds💚💚💚 ideally mommy finds her! You are rockstars 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JulianaBlewett]

Ticks. Tics are involuntary muscle movements.

[@elizabethbarnes4788]

​@JulianaBlewett those Wood Ticks, an insect that attaches to animal or humans.

[@skmarrama]

What a beautiful foal! Glad you got those ticks off. What a tremendous work you do to rescue these little ones.

[@emmanx011]

So hungry! ❤ But she seems bigger and more "perky" than the last one .

[@thereseduval2045]

She's so pretty. Praying that she is going to be ok

[@adrienchandler4906]

Beautiful little girl. I hope she will be alright.

[@steventrompeter9883]

She's a beauty. As you mentioned "Rangerish". Praying she maintains her health. Thanks for the post. 🐎 😊

[@Jmk353]

My first thought when I saw her was she looked much so much like Ranger!! So sad to see her with all the ticks and goopy eye, but know she will get the best of love and care in your hands. Thank you for all you do.

[@overcatter7647]

Thank you for saving and loving the babies!!! ❤

[@user-gt7rz1fr7j]

Hi there the baby filly is very cute..Thank you all for saving her..❤ tc

[@JoyceBreyer-qp6mc]

Such a little beauty! Seeing her grown and riding would be heavenly. Bet she moves like a ballerina when trained. Maybe her tick wounds are itching, now that the bugs are gone.

[@rhondaskiles5740]

She trusts you which is vital

[@monkeygraborange]

She’s a keeper!

[@WilliamWagner-hq9ut]

Seems pretty docile after finding itself in a locker room...

[@karaamundson3964]

Foals imprint on new caregivers pretty quickly. This filly is still a bit spicy but to me that's a good sign!

[@DorcasLandry]

She looks so helpless … breaks my heart

[@pixie706]

We teach our calves to bucket feed by dipping fingers inti the milk and lowering our hand into the bucket so they suck fingers in bucket and hey presti done . Hope your filly is as well as she looks

[@vintagelady1]

You took her to the Munchkin Clinic? The sound on the speed-up was so funny. Well, you guys (& helpers!) definitely racked up some angel points today! Lots of good people in the world, you just have to know where to look, & this is good place to start.

[@zinnia3684]

You must be born again of the Holy Spirit. It is not by works. It is through the faith that Jesus died for a sacrifice for all sins. He is the way, the truth and the life. Do not be fooled by works based salvation. Jesus was the ultimate pure sacrifice. It is done. Read Ephesians 2 8-10. God made a way. John 14:6. Time is short my friend. Jesus will come soon for his in the sky. Do not be misled by false gospels, your spiritual eternity depends on Jesus Christ the Saviour. Bless you. I know I got a little heavy there, but God put it on my heart. Bless you❤ call out to God for Salvation in g Th he Almighty name of Jesus Christ.. 🙏

[@loisblais3431]

Yes, I thought this might be a old video of Ranger, then checked the date. So many ticks on this baby. So glad you were able to rescue her.

[@amydavid1111]

Wow. It must be hard for all wild animals to deal with ticks. So sad. Thank you for helping her. ❤

[@RedHybiscus]

It would be nice to find momma but if not - she is safe and has love and a home - 🙏🙂

[@tsc241]

Ticks just suck the life out of animals, lethargic from ticks. Thank you 🙏

[@anntrope491]

Hydration, nutrition, pest removal,& support… will get this little girl on the way back to health… Thank you all for this rescue !!

[@karachikay5759]

She's a Rangerette ❤

[@adriennemiller1642]

Perfect name!

[@judithburke1539]

Retta?

[@sharksport01]

I remember a foal that color from your herd drone footage, it was laying down and the mother was not close.

[@ronmccabe7164]

Yes. I saw it too. Same color as Ranger when he was a foal. Same sort of circumstance too.

[@kathleenhunter3161]

What a quiet calm foal for never being handled before. Real smart

[@charriemiller1774]

Thank you for everything you do for these horses. Herr eyes are absolutely gorgeous

[@jakezgab8576]

Jordan is an expert at ripping ticks off of this poor thing. Lucky filly.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

see my top comment on this page regarding that

[@treelover1050]

SHE HAS BEAUTIFUL COLORING WITH THAT WIDE WHITE PATCH ON HER FACE AND CUTE EYES.

[@mattyisme123]

Seeing her at ease riding in the back seat with you guys is precious! I know she doesn’t feel good but she knows you are helping her! ❤❤❤

[@barbaracarlson5018]

Baby horses are so precious.

[@topcatwarrior]

Tick pickin’ is no fun under the best circumstances. I’m so glad this beautiful foal is in your care, I hope she’s old enough to fight off any health issues she may have. Another loss so soon would be too much! Thanks for all you do to help these young ones. I don’t know if we’ll ever get answers as to why she was where she was found, but I look forward to hearing more when you have a chance to post.💕

[@oystergirl99]

This foal looks like the foal you videotaped with the drone. The one that was laying down and you were checking to see if it's mom was around. The similarity is striking. So glad you were able to get her and remove those awful ticks!

[@Emurderproductions]

It is wonderful to see your community banding together to help .

[@user-ow4pm2nw5i]

Shes blue eyed so pretty. Im so glad you went and got her home and took those ticks off.

[@daretodream...898]

❤ she's gorgeous ... I really needed something to make my heart happy today.

[@2115virgo13]

Her little face. So glad she is safe!!

[@kristanmackay7607]

A beautiful filly that knows you're trying to help her. Thank you all for saving her.

[@salentipy]

Such a pretty little filly with her blue eye! She seemed wholly unbothered by almost everything. I would think she would’ve been spookier than that. Especially with the dog barking! 😂

[@Bluemoonfarm17]

She’s so pretty! Love her blue eye!

[@sewingSue]

You guys are the best! Picking those nasty bugs off the little filly with determination.

[@stardust949]

ugh, I loathe ticks!!! Best Wishes for this little one. Do they make baby bottles for horses?

[@herpderp3916]

They do make big bottles for livestock, we've used them for calves.

[@timothychandler1725]

I hope this little filly does make it. She is the sweeties girl, and I love her color. Even the blue eyes.

[@siriusdragon]

I'm actually getting the chance to try my hand with Orphans this year. We had a sad loss at work, and now it's kinda fallen to me, since the filly seems to have really taken to me. I'm so excited to see how she progresses!

[@ronmccabe7164]

Best wishes to you.

[@Jan-qy5rk]

Heartbreaking, Dear little foal separated from mum but a Joy you found her, what a big relief for her to have all those nastys taken of her body ❤️

[@terrillrogers9983]

She’s very cute and very definitely has the Ranger vibe😊

[@pattimessenger6214]

Oh my gosh! Such beautiful eyes!

[@mysteroads5598]

I love her face. Such a gorgeous marking, and with that one blue eye! She's a special one.

[@pattysouza2954]

She's beautiful.

[@candicerunyon2762]

She has beautiful eyes. I am holding out a bit of hope that her momma is found. Thank you for doing your best to save them.

[@angelareimann6433]

You are such gentle people. Guiding her to the bucket with patience. I learn so much from you

[@kayBTR]

Seems like she would drink from a bottle and not a bucket. A bottle is more like drinking from her mom.

[@angelareimann6433]

I think the bucket is practical, and it's one less step in her learning. She'll be using a bucket for eating stuff as an adult. The bottle is not like her mare either. It's foreign and not warm and hairy 💛. Bottles are a constant tricky hygiene task. Plus, a horse is way larger than a lamb or puppy - bigger bottle, nipple = more cleaning. I'd have trouble holding up a bottle to a foal every few hours, especially one as leery as this little wild child.

[@timfsrley465]

Bless you all for helping her ❤

[@patriciaserdahl5577]

I'm praying she makes it poor baby having all those ticks . You guys are a true blessing saving these foals God bless 🙏 🐎

[@wesmccoy7061]

Omg. She is beautiful. In good spirits and alert ❤

[@ddawe31635]

Pretty filly❤❤❤

[@Ducky2964]

She’s a beautiful girl and I’m so happy that all of you are rescuing her and others. 🩷

[@cc34945]

Little little bit of soapy water in that pan, where you’re throwing the ticks will keep them from climbing out.

[@ElliePosner-qt6lv]

thinking rubbing alcohol instead of dish soap used to work too.

[@klee88029]

I pour a little alcohol into a leftover food can to drop the ticks into then just add a piece of lit paper at the end, Voila, Toasted ticks in a few minutes.

[@ldirk58601]

I hope you and that baby feel better real soon!

[@deborahgilliland1804]

She's feeling the love. She just isn't ready to return it but she will

[@reneegosda6851]

You guys a so wonderful to take on these babies. It is a hard job. Thank you for all of your efforts to help these babies.

[@kimberlylee1329]

Thank you for helping this poor little girl!! You’re a blessing!

[@pattimessenger6214]

This baby looks big! Prayers for her good health!

[@debbieraasch5416]

She’s so calm.

[@verenamaharajah6082]

Poor little baby! Thank you for helping her.

[@kh7794]

Good luck little girl!

[@1929modelagirl]

Ticks are the most disgusting insects. They have absolutely no value. Will antibiotics help ward off tick fever or whatever those ticks are carrying? You guys are pretty special. Too many people look at the mustangs as range competitors.

[@karaamundson3964]

Wulp, tickles are a tasty meal for opposums...

[@lostribe5130]

Very skinny. But deems fairly strong.

[@kimtyndall876]

You two are the best you deserve a metal.

[@clarehagley2165]

I hope you find her mum. But I know she will get lots of love and care from your family.

[@toneenorman2135]

At this point,there’s no chance the mother will be found. If they did,it’s unlikely the Stallion would allow the filly back,sadly.

[@huttzgul]

I pray she makes it ! I was heartbroken about the other little one

[@karaamundson3964]

Me too...everything seemed to be going so well...I guess you just never know

[@pattimessenger6214]

Well, if she is a couple of weeks old, hopefully she got Mommy’s good colostrum!

[@jenniferrevilla5298]

Amen! Great job😍

[@horses2by]

Beautiful baby 😍glad you were able help her, with her problems 🤩💯

[@marydd4147]

Poor little filly - can you remove ticks with your hands? Glad you helped this poor little thing.

[@mtngrl88]

Yes, you just have to be delicate enough to not pop them and/or leave their jaws in the skin.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

its not safe to do this without proper gloves, if they bite you, you have lyme disease for life!!

[@karaamundson3964]

We used to apply a tissue with distilled alcohol on it. The ticks reacted and popped off (heads intact) and we'd get 'm and kill 'm

[@dorothystarkey6668]

She was so beautiful cause of her eyes are blue . It was so cute

[@Velvetrose737]

Awwww, i hope you find her mother, poor baby😢

[@pattysouza2954]

Thank you one and all for helping her.

[@leanneadams2549]

Now I can’t wait to see her again !!! What a cutie pie !!! ❤️🐴

[@C.Hawkshaw]

I think she’ll do well. She’s definitely loved, and being well cared for.

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Love her eye colors.... She a very lucky little girl. Looks like Ranger's younger sister. Thanks for sharing

[@mszezelax]

These folks are beautiful, true heroes in ways we didn't even know existed. This baby is so fortunate people such as this exist for her to be saved.

[@pattimessenger6214]

She misses her herd, I’m sure. You have so many horses at your place. They are her new herd. She just doesn’t know it yet. How nice to get one that doesn’t have umbilical damage!

[@brea967]

Ohh sweetheart
