The first image of this series is intentionally misleading. One is quick to think that the patient receiving care is the horse, when in fact it is a two-week old foal laying at its feet. This is a really beautiful example of how sentience is not only recognized in horses but how it can be respected and factored in during care. The medical procedure in this particular instance can be safely performed at the entrance of the stall, allowing the mother to keep a close eye on her baby. This kind of setup keeps stress to a minimum for mother, baby and staff. And less stress better serves safety during care, especially when handling large animals such as horses.
