When the 20-year-old rescued dwarf horse Eleanor gives birth to a foal, everyone is surprised that such an old dwarf horse was mated at all.
Before she was rescued, she seemed to have had a difficult life. This was also shown by the fact that she protected her foal Teddy from everyone.

Teddy is a miniature horse. The smallest foal the team at the R&R Ranch Miniature Horse Sanctuary has ever seen.

What’s more, it’s a foal with an overprotective mother.
As soon as one of the other miniature horses stuck its head over the bars to check on Teddy, the mare snapped.

So she involuntarily made sure that her little one didn’t learn to socialize. As a result, Teddy had no friends!
Nobody wants anything to do with Teddy anymore

As soon as he tried to get the other miniature horses to play by running around wildly, everyone turned their backs on him.
But then the unforeseen happened. In addition to the dwarf horses, there are other four-legged friends on the ranch: dogs.

They took care of the unfortunate little horse. This is how Teddy learned to play with others and eventually the other miniature horses became friends with him too!
