Heroic Shire Horse Brings The Sick Mare Back To Life.
|We are used to seeing kind humans rescuing and saving animals’ lives but it doesn’t happen often to see animals of the same kinds helping each other and doing everything to save each other’s life.
But that’s exactly what happened in the United Kingdom after a beautiful Shire horse named Bea saved the life of her stablemate after she was in the last moments of her life.
“We tried everything and used machinery to try and pull her across the stable but we couldn’t get her up, she gave up more and more. The vet said we could put her out of her misery or give her a few more hours with painkillers and steroids and leave it up to Beatrice.”
Beatrice’s temperature dropped and her heartbeat increased as the owners spent four hours trying to get the mare to her feet while Beau, who was in the next stable, had been “quietly watching” the situation.
“We went to let Beau out for some haylage and instead of going to eat which would be his normal reaction, he marched straight over to Beatrice, put his head over the partition between them and started nibbling her neck and ears,” said Jane.
“As we were watching he then got hold of her headcollar and lifted her head. We began to realise something a bit special was happening. He kept nipping her mane and got hold of her neck and pulled her whole front end off the floor. Everyone got in and pushed and pulled and got her up.
“The vet couldn’t believe it – she really didn’t think Beatrice was going to survive, everything was closing down. We couldn’t have got her out alive without Beau. For whatever reason Beau just knew she had to get off the floor.”
He continued to lift her head up and put her into a more straight position.
Just when everyone had given up, Beau insisted on saving her life and managed to do so! Watch the whole story in the video below !

“People need to realise how intelligent these animals are – they just speak a different language and we need to learn their language. They have emotions, they feel compassion and all these things that we feel.”
