Vet Ranch saved the horse, whom they named Nova, before she could be shipped to Mexico for "processing." An examination revealed she had respiratory problems and parasites.

Dr. Karri from Vet Ranch and her husband, Dr. Judd, gave her medication. Another round of tests found she had a herpes virus that Dr. Karrri says “needs to run its course.”
One day, Dr. Karri went to check on Nova and noticed her giving birth completely on her own. The foal was quickly on his way attempting to walk with the help of his mom.
