After months of waiting, the moment had arrived. The horse was on the verge of giving birth. Despite having a massive stomach, it refused to give birth. Ben decided to visit his local veterinarian for an ultrasound. When the vet viewed the ultrasound, he immediately dialled 911. But what was the horse’s problem? And what went wrong with Ben?

Incredibly Surprised

Ben answered questions about himself and the horse he’d kept since he was a child. When he finished answering all of the questions, he heard skepticism from the operating room. “I can’t believe it!” exclaimed the vet. But what did the vet discover inside the horse that took him by surprise?

Searching For The Right Man

Ben needed to find someone who was legally qualified to impregnate his horse. Months passed and he was unable to locate someone who could accomplish this legally. Ben wondered if he should accept that what he desired was not feasible and instead attempt to get a horse.

The Right Guy

But, after months of looking for the proper person, Ben discovered him. Because this man was accessible on short notice, he stood in front of Ben’s house and made sure Felicia became pregnant within days. Ben was ecstatic and couldn’t wait for the day Felicia gave birth.

Walking In The Stables With Felicia

Felicia was unable to sleep as much as she had before her pregnancy, and Ben was no longer able to walk with her in the stables, which she had enjoyed doing previously. Ben, on the other hand, couldn’t figure out why this was the case.

The Agitated Horse

Felicia got increasingly restless during her pregnancy. Ben assumed it would be over soon because the vet said it was normal, but in the week before she was meant to give birth to her young foal, she reached boiling point.

Calling The Vet

Ben had planned everything for the delivery to go perfectly, but Felicia just refused to give birth. Ben had no choice but to phone the vet, but he was forced to answer unexpected questions.

Taking The Required Step

The vet inquired about Felicia’s behavior. Ben mentioned that she was restless at first, but now she scarcely moves. The vet was taken aback by Ben’s responses and told him that he needed to make sure Felicia was lying down on the ground correctly.

Taking The Required Step

Stretching Felicia

The vet indicated that Ben needed to totally stretch out Felicia because she might be about to give birth to a new foal. But it wasn’t simple to stretch Felicia because she came across as extremely forceful.

Approaching With Reluctance

Ben was terrified of being attacked by his own horse. He was unsure if he was making the right decision. What if she actually attacked Ben? In that event, neither Ben nor his horse would do well. Wasn’t there another option?

The vet told Ben that this was the only way to ensure his horse and her foal’s survival. Ben made a point of approaching Felicia gently after hearing that. When he was close, he made sure to position himself correctly so that everything Felicia went through was painless.

Fully Stretched Out

The vet asked Ben to feel Felicia’s stomach after Ben successfully stretched her out. Was there a small bulge he hadn’t seen earlier in the pregnancy? Ben glanced closely, and what he saw surprised him.

He noticed a small protrusion that he hadn’t seen previously. But what exactly did this mean? Was his horse all right? Ben quickly inquired of the vet about Felicia’s condition. But the vet’s response was unsettling.

Tone Alteration

The vet’s tone shifted, and all he said was, “I need to do an ultrasound, I’ll be there right away.” Ben was instructed by the vet that he needed to calm down. He promised to be there in thirty minutes. However, the vet did not anticipate such problems.

Rush hour

Getting to Ben’s place was a task in and of itself. The vet didn’t realize it was rush hour, so she got stopped in traffic for far longer than she expected. The vet understood she needed to get to the horse as soon as possible so Felicia could give birth to her foal.

Getting The Vet

As Ben became more concerned, he suggested that one of his pals pick up the vet on a motorcycle. That way, she’d be able to arrive as soon as possible. The vet agreed, so she returned to her clinic and waited to be picked up by one of Ben’s best friends.

Ben’s friend picked up the vet from her clinic and they were at Ben’s property in minutes. Felicia was still, so the vet began her check right away. But as the veterinarian approached, she began to move again.

Sedating Felicia

Felicia needed to be sedated by the vet to ensure she was no longer a danger to her or Ben. However, sedating this horse was not an easy task. The vet needed all the assistance she could get.

Increasingly Aggressive

Felicia became increasingly angry, so Ben and his companion kept their distance at first, hoping Felicia would calm down. That, however, was not the case. So, what should she do next? The vet realized she had only one other choice.

Not Without Danger

The vet may use stronger medications that they could employ from a distance, but this came with hazards. Felicia and her foal might perish as a result of this. Ben was asked what he wanted by the vet. Ben was torn between the options. This was a difficult decision.

The Right Choice?

Ben was well aware that making the incorrect decision may have disastrous consequences. But what exactly was the bad decision? He carefully considered both possibilities and inquired of the vet about the risks associated with each. After much deliberation, he decided with his heart rather than his mind.

Heavier Meds

Ben knew he needed to sedate Fecilia to ensure she could give birth properly, so he gave the vet permission to use stronger medications. But first, they had to get to safety as Felicia became more violent.

Leaving The Stables

The vet told Ben and his pal to leave the stables gradually, but Felicia was not thrilled. Ben was hesitant to leave her in this state because she became even more hostile than before. Was it worth it?

Felicia In Pain

Felicia appeared to be both restless and in pain. She needs to be drugged as quickly as possible for her own welfare. As a result, Ben walked away faster than he had expected. The vet could then conduct his work.

Seducing Felicia

The vet prepared the medications and sedated Felicia while Ben and his companion were away. He began preparing the ultrasound he was about to perform after a few minutes of waiting for her to fall asleep. These were anxious moments for both Ben and the veterinarian. Is there something wrong with Felicia?

Checking Felicia

The ultrasound was not as simple as it appeared because Felicia was not in an optimum posture due to her restlessness. Ben was asked if he could help the vet stretch her into a good position. The vet could then finally perform the ultrasound.

Change Of Tone

The vet’s tone shifted while performing the scan. It gradually shifted from hopeful to pessimistic. Ben was aware of this but was scared of distracting the vet. He later wished he had asked her sooner.

Making A Phone Call

After a few minutes of inspecting the ultrasound, the vet informed Ben that she needed to make an urgent phone call. But Ben had no idea who the vet intended to contact. Ben was initially concerned; were his two horses okay?

Returning To The Ranch

When the vet returned, she quickly devised a strategy. The vet told Ben that his horses were well, but Felicia needed to relax before giving birth to her foal. As soon as Ben agreed to this, he and the vet returned to their property. But after a few minutes, he heard something unusual.

Police Arriving!

The police had arrived at Ben’s ranch! But why is that? He couldn’t figure it out at first, but then he understood the vet had contacted the cops. But Ben was still perplexed as to why she had phoned them. The veterinarian then explained the problem to Ben.

Surgery Needed

Ben’s horse underwent surgery when the vet discovered something that didn’t belong in the animal’s belly beside the foal. She needed tools from the local police to do the surgery and properly sedate Felicia, as she was only using a basic sedative at the time.

Allowing The Police To Enter

Ben realized what was going on and soon calmed down. He immediately let the police officers on his ranch conduct their jobs. But when a police officer approached him, Ben couldn’t believe what the officer said.

Responding To The Questions

“Sir, you must accompany us,” the officer stated. We have some questions for you.” Ben was perplexed by this. Why were they interested in questioning him? He had done nothing wrong. But, since he had nothing to conceal, he opted to answer the questions in order to avoid further anguish.

Responding To The Questions

Identity Verification

The officers initially asked straightforward inquiries. Ben had to certify that he was the man they were questioning, as well as that the horse in the stables was his own. However, the following questions were more detailed, which Ben found peculiar. Why did they care about such details?

Background Investigation

They inquired as to how his horse became pregnant in the first place. So Ben responded saying he had called an expert who could assist him with this. He also stated that he conducted a background check on the expert to ensure that everything he did was legal.

Ben even showed the cops his sources to ensure that what he was doing was legal. The cops understood Ben and agreed that everything was legal, but they still needed some additional information from him. Ben was surprised when the cop took something from his backpack.

The cop had different mugshots than the suspected criminals. They asked Ben if he could recognize anyone in the photographs. Ben was taken aback. He recognized a familiar face after viewing numerous photographs.

It was the expert’s face that helped him get Felicia pregnant! But what made him a suspect? As far as Ben was aware, he had committed no crimes. Ben got increasingly concerned. What happened to this man’s horse? Did it have anything to do with Felicia’s inability to give birth properly?

Criminal Medical Practices

Soon after, the cops arrived and explained the issue. This man was a horse expert, but he also had a history of illicit medical practices. The authorities were already on the lookout for him and had informed veterinarians because he was known to test novel medical procedures on various animals. But, exactly, what did he do to Felicia?

Strange Ultrasound

On the ultrasound, the vet detected two unusual things, one of which was a medical chip in Felicia’s belly. Because of their contact, the vet understood he had to call the police when he saw it. The authorities were seeking for the chip, which had been unlawfully manufactured by the expert who had assisted Ben.

Taking Out The Chip

The police assisted the vet with the procedure in order to extract the chip and track it back to the expert. They not only removed the chip, but they were also delighted to assist in the delivery of a new little foal, and it was no ordinary foal.

The second thing the vet noted on the ultrasound was that this foal was an unusual specimen, which might be extremely valuable. The vet couldn’t believe his eyes when Felicia gave birth to her foal after the surgery.

This was an extremely uncommon specimen, which he had never seen before. Ben was advised by the vet that this was a one-in-a-million possibility. This horse could be worth a lot of money, but Ben was only concerned with one thing.

He was determined to keep his young foal, Siempre. After all of this, he felt he and this horse shared a particular link that he would never be able to break. After all was said and done, the authorities were able to locate and apprehend the expert. After all, Ben could live happily ever after on his ranch with his two horses.
