    I have to say, when I saw baby Penelope run outside and head to the fence to see the other horses, my heart squeezed in pure joy to see the size of the herd gather around the baby and welcome her. Thank you so much for doing what you do. I can't get through one of your videos without crying in joy for the freedom and peace you offer these beautiful horses.

    When Penelope went out in her paddock for the first time and the herd came running in to see her , it reminded me of how elephants react to a new baby. I bet if she's ever ready to go out with the herd she'll be pampered and protected. Such a little punkin'!!🐎💜🐎

    Thats what i was thinkinking. That she had a trauma to that inside chondrial. Possibility that she was lying down and momma accidentally stepped on that stifle, which WOULD cause an injury such as this in Penelope.

Maybe the more she uses her leg will be good for her, hopefully but I'm not a vet. Can pray God will help her strengthen her leg. What you and Cory and the rest do is such a God send. Thank you for what you do.

    The little Princess will rule the herd, mark my words. Penelope is just too darn cute but Liam is absolutely gorgeous. I truly hope that there is something that can help her leg but thankfully she will grow up and grow old in a loving barn with friends and humans to wait on her hand and hoof. Walter is gonna be a spunky older gentleman and once he is back near normal weight, you are really gonna see his personality come out. He is such a dignified gentleman and I can't wait to see him with more weight on him.

It absolutely makes my heart so happy to be a small part of somethimg than takes a wrong in this world, and makes it right !

    Never been to Amarillo, wow so flat can see for miles! I’m so use to trees here in Northern central California! Lots of freedom for those lovely big horses to run! ❤🙏🤗

    Persephone must be 1 smart cookie!! She discovered a way to beat the pipeline. And poor Penelope - such a cutie but it doesn’t seem she’ll have much of a life.

    It was such a wonderful sight when Penelope finally went to the fence line. She seems to just fascinate and love her by the other horses. Almost like she has her own fan club. I'm so glad that I am a part of the Big Hoof Foundation.
