Horse Keeps Hugging Woman – When Vet Looks At Ultrasound He Discovers Why

Humans and animals have been living on this earth for thousands of years together, and some of them make great companions for each other. Animals are a lot smarter than you think and are also very intuitive when it comes to things that you wouldn't think they know, such as someone being pregnant. You might think that Jolene's pet was a dog or a cat, as they can be quite protective when their owner is pregnant, but it was actually a horse. Jolene's horse, named Keola, started to act very strangely when she first found out that she was pregnant and began to wonder what her horse was sensing.
Jolene and her husband started to wonder what was really going on and started to question why Keola started acting so strangely toward Jolene. So if you want to find out more about why this horse started hugging its owner, you should check out this article.
Jolene Is Expecting
When Jolene and her husband first found out that she was pregnant, they were ecstatic as the young couple had been trying to conceive a child for quite some time but had no luck. The couple started to think that they wouldn't be able to have a child, but chance finally came to their side.

The couple was happy to announce that they were going to have a child and she wanted to let her horse Keola know about her surprising news. When Jolene first interacted with Keola after she found out she was pregnant, she knew something was wrong as Keola was acting strange every time she was around her.
Keola Became Over Affectionate
As time went on, the couple started to notice that Keola started to become overly affectionate towards Jolene after they found out that she was pregnant. Keola would constantly want to touch Jolene the whole time and often try to hug her.

At first, the couple didn't know what to think of Keola's behavior and thought that she was trying to be overly protective of her like most animals are when their owners are pregnant. Jolene's boyfriend started to wonder why Keola was acting so strange but ended up getting used to Keola's behavior over time. They would soon find out why Keola was acting so weird.
Extreme Back Pain
Jolene's pregnancy was going pretty well during the first trimester, and she didn't have any problems with pain or discomfort. But things ended up changing during her second trimester as Jolene started to experience a sharp pain in her back. Jolene was unable to walk because of the pain in her back, which led her husband to take her to the hospital.

The couple immediately thought of Keola when they found out the results from the doctors, which shocked just about everyone with the news he had for the couple. The couple was just wondering how Keola would have sensed something wrong.
One Happy Couple
Jolene and Ricky had been together for several years at this point in time and met when they were just 16 years old. The couple was deeply in love with each other and, after they graduated, decided to move in with each other.

After they purchased a home, they decided to buy a horse which was named Keola. Although everything seemed perfect in Jolene and Ricky's life, Jolene felt that there was something off about Ricky, but she didn't think much of it as she was quite happy with Ricky. The love between these two was strong.
Jolene Was Bothered By Something
Jolene and Ricky's relationship was perfect in many people's eyes, but deep down inside, Jolene was bothered by something she had been hiding since the two got together when they were just 16. When the couple got together, Jolene was unsure how to let go of some things in the past but thought as she got older, she would eventually be able to tell Ricky.

But as time went on, Jolene kept the secret to herself and started to feel like she was deeply bothered by the matter. Jolene was quite restless, and she didn't know how to express herself to Ricky.
Ricky's Bizarre Secret
Jolene started to feel insecure about her relationship with Ricky as Ricky had a strange past that she couldn't overcome. Ricky was very secretive about his life, which made Jolene feel like she didn't even know her husband. The two had grown up their whole lives together, but Jolene still felt distant from Ricky.

Jolene started to feel like an outsider when it came to her relationship with Ricky, as he didn't tell her anything about his past, which made Jolene more worried as time passed on. She would soon find out what he had been keeping a secret this whole time.
Ricky's Tough Past
Over the course of their long relationship, Jolene tried to get whatever Ricky was lying about from his past out of him, but he was reluctant to discuss what was bothering him so much. Ricky finally hinted that something had happened to his family and that he didn't have one anymore but didn't want to get into details about the matter.

Something in Ricky's past hurt him deeply, and he wasn't comfortable enough to discuss his secret with Jolene. This really hurt Jolene as she thought Ricky trusted her with his heart and it created a rift in their relationship as Jolene felt that she wasn't trusted.
Jolene Accepted Ricky's Secretiveness
Jolene decided to accept Ricky's secretiveness as he was the man that she fell in love with, and she knew that he was a good man deep down inside. Although it hurt Jolene not to be able to talk about Ricky's family and past, she just wanted to have a happy life and decided to accept him for who he was.

Jolene was able to ignore Ricky's strange behavior for quite some time, but her feelings towards the matter started to make her feel uncomfortable again especially when she found out that she was pregnant with their firstborn child.
A Happy Marriage
Jolene and Ricky decided to get married after they had been together for ten years, as they felt that they truly loved each other despite their differences. Jolene accepted that Ricky was never going to reveal his past, but she was just happy that her relationship with him was going well.

Jolene was hoping that Ricky would invite his family to the wedding as they were planning to have a big ceremony. Jolene knew that this would finally be the chance when she would meet Ricky's family, as there would be no excuse for them not to attend the wedding.
The Family Wasn't There
When the big day finally arrived, Jolene was disappointed in Ricky as he didn't invite his family to their wedding. Jolene was angered by Ricky's choice not to invite his family and only invited his friends whom Jolene met while they were dating.

Jolene started to become suspicious as Ricky didn't invite anyone from his past to the wedding, which made Jolene wonder the reason why. She was disappointed and thought Ricky would finally be able to tell her the truth about his past, but he ended up ignoring her when she questioned the notion and was wondering if she had made a mistake marrying him.
A Better Future
Jolene might have had doubts about Ricky's past, but one thing that she was certain about was that she was totally in love with him. Jolene started to finally get around to accepting her husband not wanting to discuss his past with her as she was quite happy with their relationship.

The couple were romantic together and always communicated, which led Jolene to think that her life was pretty perfect. The couple started to get serious and wanted to take their relationship to the next step, which meant that they wanted to start a family.
Negative Results
Although Ricky and Jolene tried to conceive a child multiple times, they were having no luck, as all of Jolene's pregnancy tests were showing up negative. The couple wasn't going to give up so easily, but after a couple of months of trying, they knew that something was wrong.

The couple started to fear that they wouldn't be able to have children as one of them might have a medical condition. The couple wanted to have children so badly that they decided to get some tests done.
Conducting Tests
Since the couple was worried that they would not be able to have children, they decided to both get checked by the doctors as either one of them might have a medical condition that didn't allow them to have children. Jolene and Ricky were nervous as they didn't want to find out that they were infertile, but they knew that getting tested was the only way.

Once the couple conducted their tests, they waited patiently for a couple of days for the results to come in. Ricky and Jolene were hoping that everything was alright and that they would soon be able to start a family.
Test Results Were Good
Jolene and Ricky were prepared for the worst as they knew that they might not be able to have children but luckily, the doctor had good news for them. Jolene and Ricky's doctor let them know that they were perfectly healthy to have children and that they should keep trying as some couples have a more challenging time getting pregnant.

The couple was relieved to find out that they didn't have to worry about not having children and wanted to start their family as soon as possible. The doctor just told them that they would eventually have a child and to keep their hopes high.
Great News For The Couple
Only a week after Jolene and Ricky went to get tested by the doctors, Jolene decided to take a pregnancy test and received the great news that she was finally pregnant. The couple felt that they were blessed to have the chance to have a child finally and were excited to tell everyone they knew.

The couple was surprised that their baby had come into their lives only a week after they got tested and were excited to start a family. Everyone in their family was quite happy with the news, but there was one that wasn't so happy.
One Unhappy Family Member
Everyone in Jolene's family was happy about the news of their unborn child, but there was one family member that wasn't happy at all. Keola, the family horse, started to act strange right after the couple found out that they were pregnant.

Jolene could tell that something was wrong with Keola as he would always lick her stomach and try to hug her all the time. At first, Keola's behavior seemed friendly, but as time went on, Jolene started to get scared of Keola as she was getting more aggressive toward her. Jolene wasn't sure what to think of Keola's behavior and wanted answers right away.
Strange Hugs
One thing that Keola would always do when Jolene was around was hugging her in an aggressive way. When the couple first experienced this, they thought that Keola was trying to be protective over Jolene as she was pregnant, but as time went on, they started to wonder if something else was going on in Keola's mind.

Ricky started to wonder if Keola felt that she was going to be replaced by the couple's unborn child and thought that she might not like that Jolene is pregnant. The couple wanted to get down to the problem and decided to call a veterinarian to check if Keola might be sick.
Vet Takes A Closer Look
Jolene and Ricky decided to have a veterinarian take a closer look at Keola as they thought that she might be sick. The couple wanted to find out why the horse started acting so weird all of a sudden and were hoping to find the problem.

When the veterinarian was done with his tests, he revealed to the couple that nothing was wrong with Keola and that she was in healthy shape. The veterinarian was just as confused when the couple told him how Keola was acting and couldn't pinpoint what the problem was. The couple felt hopeless as they really loved Keola and didn't want to see her so stressed.
Jolene Wanted Answers
Since the veterinarian found that there was nothing wrong with Keola, Jolene decided to take matters into her own hands and started to research online to see if anyone had a similar experience with their horse. It only took a couple of Google searches for Jolene to discover that she wasn't alone.

Jolene was devastated to find out that Keola was detecting something wrong with her pregnancy, as the stories on the internet were saying that horses are good at detecting if something is wrong with a pregnancy. Jolene wasn't sure what to believe and started to become even more worried.
Jolene Was Stressed Out
Jolene started to stress out, even more, when she began to read that something might be wrong with her pregnancy, as horses are good at detecting medical problems. Jolene wasn't sure what to do and didn't want to believe the stories on the internet, but all fingers were pointing that something might be wrong.

Jolene decided not to tell Ricky as she didn't want to stress him out, especially if it was something that she wasn't one hundred percent sure of. Jolene knew that she needed to seek out help but wasn't sure if she was freaking herself out.
One Person That Would Understand
Since Jolene didn't know who to turn to for advice, she decided to contact her mother as she knew that she would understand her position and had experience with a couple of pregnancies. She knew that her mother would give her good advice as she always did throughout her life.

When Jolene told her mother about the situation between her and Keola, she was relieved to find out that her mother believed her and actually had some good advice to follow. Jolene was glad that her mother understood her situation and told her that she would always be there for her no matter what.
Her Mother's Advice
Jolene's mother was worried about how stressed Jolene was and told her not to worry about the articles that she was reading on the internet. She reassured her daughter and said to her that she shouldn't be this stressed out while pregnant and should forget everything that she read on the internet.

Jolene was relieved to hear her mother say that everything was going to be alright and that she had spooked herself too much. Her mother told her to focus on being healthy and positive and that everything will be alright once the baby comes. This is exactly what Jolene needed to hear.
A Visit To The Doctor's Office
Jolene's mother also advised her to go to the doctor to get a check-up just in case anything was wrong. Jolene followed her mother's advice and scheduled a doctor's appointment. Jolene was around eighteen months pregnant when she decided to get checked again by the doctors.

Jolene knew that the doctors would be able to find anything wrong with her baby but was hoping that her mother was right all along. Jolene and Ricky were nervous about the results as they had been trying to have a child for such a long time and they knew that they had to stay positive.
Awesome News
Jolene and Ricky were quite relieved when the doctor told them that everything was going well with the pregnancy and that they didn't have to worry about anything. The doctor also advised them to come back in a couple of weeks so that he can conduct another test for reassurance.

Jolene and Ricky now started to wonder why Keola was acting so strange when she was around. Jolene also told Ricky about the news she found on the internet and was relieved that Keola was not detecting anything wrong with her. The couple would soon find out that Keola had some intentions in her behavior.
More Back Pain
Everything was going well for Jolene and her pregnancy, and she didn't experience any pain for the next couple of weeks, but when she was around 23 weeks pregnant, Jolene started to experience very sharp pains in her back, just like she was in the past.

Jolene didn't think much of the pain at first as she thought that she hurt herself while picking something up, but when the pain didn't subside after a couple of days, she knew that something was either wrong with her or her baby. She told Ricky to take her to the hospital immediately as she didn't want to lose her baby.
Too Much Traffic
When Jolene alerted Ricky that she needed to be taken to the hospital, the couple ended up leaving in the middle of rush hour traffic which blocked them from getting to the hospital quickly. Jolene was in a lot of pain, and Ricky tried every route to get to the hospital, but everywhere was blocked.

Ricky knew that he needed to do something for his pregnant wife as he didn't like the sight of her suffering so much. Since there was no way to drive to the hospital, he knew there was only one way to get his wife to the hospital quickly.
Ricky's Quick Instincts
Ricky wasn't about to let his wife and baby die, so he made the decision to call an ambulance as he knew there was no other way to get his wife to the hospital. Jolene was in extreme pain at this point, and Ricky was ready to do anything so that his wife wouldn't suffer anymore.

Ricky's smart thinking really ended up saving their lives, as Jolene needed medical attention immediately. While Jolene was in the ambulance, she again thought of Keola and the strange behavior that she was giving her.
The Hospital Conducted An Ultrasound
When Jolene was admitted to the hospital, doctors wanted to conduct an ultrasound to find out if anything was wrong with her baby. Jolene and Ricky were worried at this point as they didn't want to find out that they had lost their child.

While the doctor was conducting the ultrasound, his face suddenly changed, and he told Jolene that he needed to contact the authorities. Jolene didn't know what to make of what the doctor had just told her and was wondering what was really going on inside her body. What she found out next shocked everyone in the room.
Jolene Was Shocked
When the doctor told Jolene that he needed to wait for authorities to tell her what he saw in the ultrasound Jolene was shocked that the doctor needed to speak with the police first. Jolene's mind started to race, and she couldn't wrap her head around the idea that her doctor wouldn't let her know what was going on.

At this point, Ricky started to get extremely angry as nobody was giving the couple a straight answer. Although the couple was upset, they knew that the only thing they could do was wait for the authorities and were still hoping for the best.
Police Arrive
When police finally arrived at the hospital, they started to question both Jolene and Ricky separately. The couple didn't know what to think about the situation as they had not committed any crimes and wondered how an ultrasound got them into this situation.

Ricky was pretty pissed off that he was being questioned about his wife's pregnancy, as he was already stressed out about the whole commotion. The couple was both thinking about why the police would be interrogating both of them and were hoping that everything was just a big mistake that was made by the doctor.
Police Ask More Questions
When the police started to ask Jolene and Ricky questions, they were asking them simple things such as when the couple first got together and where did they live. Ricky thought that the police might have thought that the couple was in danger but still wasn't sure about why they were questioning both of them.

The police were nice for a while, but after a couple of hours, they started to get serious about their questioning, which led Ricky to think that they were dealing with a serious crime. Ricky and Jolene were hoping that all of this was just a big mistake.
The Couple Was Baffled
When the police started asking questions about where Jolene and Ricky had been the past couple of weeks, it started to worry Ricky as he felt that the police thought that they were committing a crime. The police also asked both of them about Jolene's pregnancy which made them quite uncomfortable.

The couple was both asking themselves why the police were not telling them about the whole situation. Ricky knew that he needed to stay calm so that Jolene wouldn't freak out, as he was still worried about his wife's pregnancy.
Ricky Lashed Out
Ricky started to get frustrated with the police as they were not giving him any information on the matter and he was even more pissed that Jolene had to be put through all this as she was still pregnant. Ricky and Jolene came to the hospital to get help, but all they had done was treat them like criminals.

Ricky ended up lashing out and told the police that they should leave them alone and told them to go and do something more meaningful. Ricky was fed up at this point, but he would soon regret what he said.
Ricky Was Taken To The Police Station
Since the police did not like the tone that Ricky was giving them and gave them more of a reason to believe that he might have committed a crime, the police took Ricky to the police station for further questioning. Ricky was surprised that he was being taken to the police station and started to worry about Jolene as she was still in pain.

Ricky had no choice but to go with the police as he would have faced charges if he had resisted. Ricky was thinking about his wife the whole time and hoping that everything would be okay.
Jolene Was Devastated
Jolene was devastated that her husband was taken to the police station as she was left all alone at the hospital. Ricky was also devastated, but the police reassured him that they would explain everything once they got to the station.

Jolene started to panic when she realized that she was all alone, but luckily the doctor was there to comfort her. Jolene wanted to know what the doctor found in the ultrasound and was hoping that her baby would be ok. At this point, all Jolene could do was wait for the doctors to tell her what was wrong.
Actions Needed To Be Taken
Jolene was already stressed out that her husband was taken by the police and that she was having extreme back pain earlier in the day, but she wasn't prepared to hear the news that the doctor told her. Jolene's doctor explained that he needed to perform surgery on her in order to save her baby but still wasn't able to say to her the reason as the police instructed him to do so.

Jolene had to make the decision to undergo surgery in order to save her baby's life. This was not easy for her as she preferred to have her husband by her side, but she knew that she needed to undergo surgery.
Jolene Made The Hard Decision
Jolene was shocked to find out that she needed to undergo surgery to save the baby but was a little hesitant to say yes to the surgery as she had been lied to multiple times. It didn't take long for her to decide to save the baby's life, and she said yes to the operation.

Jolene kept thinking about her husband, her baby, and especially Keola, as her research had proven to be right about Keola sensing something wrong about her pregnancy. Jolene was just hoping that Ricky would eventually be released from the police station as she wanted to know more about this strange situation.
Interrogation
The doctors waited as long as they could for Ricky as Jolene was adamant that Ricky should be there during her operation, but Ricky was not leaving the police station anytime soon as he was being questioned by the police. The doctors had no choice but to operate on Jolene immediately in order to save the baby.

Ricky was quite nervous now that he was being interrogated by police and didn't know what to think of the whole situation. The only thing that was on his mind was that his wife and soon-to-be-born baby were ok.
Ricky Couldn't Handle It Anymore
Ricky was starting to lose his patience as the police were asking him questions that were a bit personal about his life. He didn't understand why the police had not told him a thing, but they reassured him that they would answer all his questions once he answered theirs.

Ricky kept asking the police if his wife was alright, but they didn't give him an answer which made him even angrier. Luckily the police were not pulling Ricky's strings and were about to reveal what this was really all about. They also understood his frustration and wanted to get him out as quickly as possible.
Police Lineup
Ricky was still confused about why he was summoned to the police station, but things started to make sense once he walked into a police lineup room with five men facing him. The police asked Ricky if he could identify any of the men that were standing in front of him.

Ricky was still confused, but when he looked closely at the men, he recognized one of them and was quite surprised that it was also someone his wife knew. Ricky was about to find out why the police had been so serious the whole time.
It Was Their Doctor
The person that Ricky recognized was the couple's doctor that helped them with all their pregnancy doctor's appointments. Ricky was freaked out that he recognized the doctor and was wondering if he was in some way trying to harm his wife and, even worse, his unborn child.

Ricky was more than willing to give the police as much information as he could on the doctor but really started to get worried about his wife which showed. This led the police to finally hint at why he was taken into custody. Ricky was more than happy to find out what all the commotion was all about.
The Truth Finally Revealed
When Ricky found out the truth about why the police had arrested him, he was just as astonished as they were when they found out. The police revealed that the doctor had illegally planted a tiny microchip into Jolene's body. The police further explained that these microchips are used to regulate the amount of drugs Jolene intakes and help with pregnancy.

The thing is that these microchips are illegal in the United States and that the chip was registered in Ricky's name. Ricky was frustrated that this doctor would do such a thing and was still wondering if his wife was alright.
Police Rushed Him Back To Hospital
When police finally revealed the truth to Ricky, he was set free and was rushed back to the hospital so that he could be with Jolene. The whole ride back Ricky was nervous that his wife and baby wouldn't make it as he wasn't exactly sure what the microchip would do to her.

When Ricky finally arrived at the hospital, he couldn't find Jolene anywhere and started to panic as he wasn't sure if she was alive or not. Ricky started to lose hope as Jolene was not in the room that she was in before, but luckily everything would be okay.
Ricky Was Worried For His Wife's Life
When Ricky finally found the doctor, he was an emotional wreck as he had been through a lot within the recent hours. The doctor fully understood what Ricky was going through but told him that he needed to come down in order for him to explain what was going on with Jolene.

Once Ricky finally calmed down, he listened to what the doctor told him about the microchip that might be harmful to both his baby and wife but reassured him that the best surgeons were working on Jolene and he shouldn't worry too much.
Doctor Calmed Ricky Down
Ricky started to get nervous again when the doctor told him that the microchip could be harmful to his wife and baby, but luckily the doctor was there to help him calm down as he needed someone to reassure him that everything was going to be alright.

Ricky was hoping that his wife and baby were going to survive, as he would be devastated if he lost one of them. Ricky then thought of Keola and the warning she had been giving Ricky and Jolene about her pregnancy. He was genuinely puzzled about how the horse was able to pick up a foreign object inside Jolene.
Surgery Went Well
Ricky was relieved to find out that the surgery was successful and that the baby was going to be alright. The doctor told Ricky that his wife and his baby needed some time to recover, but they were no longer in danger of the microchip.

Ricky thanked the doctor and greeted his wife, who was more than happy to see him. Once Jolene recovered, the two sat and talked together about the whole ordeal they had just gone through. Jolene was just as surprised as Ricky when she found out that her doctor had planted a microchip in her.
Jolene Was Allowed To Go Home
The doctors told Jolene that she was healthy enough to go home and that her baby would not be born early. Jolene and Ricky were just relieved that their baby was going to be alright and that they finally got down to the root of the problem.

The couple started to wonder how Keola was able to detect the microchip in Jolene as Keola started to act strange after the first time they visited the doctor. The couple was angered that they were lied to by this doctor and were looking to take him to court as he endangered the lives of both Jolene and her baby.
Baby Was Born
Jolene gave birth to Giulia after 40 hours of labor, and the couple was happy to welcome their little girl into the world. The couple knew that they had quite a story to tell Giulia when she got older and were just pleased that everyone was healthy.

Ricky and Jolene felt lucky that they were able to start a family but had to admit that it was one crazy ride to get there. What puzzled the couple was that Keola knew what was going on the whole time. Ricky eventually told Jolene about his past, which she was grateful for as she finally felt that she could trust him.
One Happy Family
Jolene and Ricky were grateful that they were able to start a family and gave even more thanks to Keola, who was able to detect something wrong. The couple ended up paying more attention to Keola's behavior and never ignored her, as she knew when things were wrong.

It is quite amazing that Keola was able to detect a foreign object inside Jolene, and it shows how brilliant these animals are. Ricky and Jolene are enjoying their new life as a family and urge people to listen to their horses when they sense something wrong because you never know.
