Neglected Pony Hooves Were So Long He Couldn't Walk | The Dodo: Comeback Kids S01E03

- The animal welfare authorities called us. There was a

pony

locked up for a

long

time, and he needed us to take him in and take care of him, because he was very, very mistreated. It was just horrible. We are a horse and farm animal sanctuary. We have around 400 farm animals. In Belgium there are very few farm animal sanctuaries, but they are often mistreated. They need a place that takes care of them. When Poly got here, we called our blacksmith so he could cut off most of the

hooves

, which are very, very heavy for such a small

pony

.

That's 540 degrees of curvature. We have never, ever seen that. Poly just

couldn

't

walk

. - That's the first day that Poly had good attention and people who really loved him. Good things were happening, they were starting to happen. He didn't have any kind of personality when he got here. He now he does what he wants. He is very, very kind to people. He now has a real pony life. - Two or three days after Poly arrived, Lola was born here. She is very small, Poly is very small. He needed company. We put them together. At first, Lola's mother was very, very protective of her, but Lola really wanted to go see Poly.

A few days passed and then Lola's mother trusted Poly and let him get closer to Lola. I think they are more than friends, he is like a father to her. It's as if Lola has been adopted by Poly. Check it out. Yes, they really love each other. He now has a great life with his new family. - What a

comeback

, it's amazing how a pony who has suffered like this at the hands of humans still has trust in other humans. It is full of hope, love, friendship. Yes, he is everything. How can you overcome what life does to you, what other beings do to you, only with love for life.
