Lee has got this. Lets leave him to it. We already know that the Asher House is his calling and he meets the challenge every day. Have an excellent Thanksgiving to you and everyone in here today n keep Lee and his folks in your thoughts :)
Thank you, Lee, for being so compassionate and caring. You know how to correctly take care of animals. There are some very difficult people out there, ungrateful!
@@kandicemills9835 And after they win, they should turn around and have authorities go take a look at the rest of the horses and decide if Lee should get the rest of them.
Perhaps they are in need of money and are trying to shake you down for the same. You are the best, Lee, as you are genuinely in love with every animal you see and always put them first. Plus you have everything on video and the vet. You need to sue them for defamation, regardless of their age. This is sadly a shakedown situation.
As a lawyer, this is why I make clients sign everything. I have had older clients forget previous conversations and without the documentation you can be left in a tricky situation. Great job having them sign the surrender forms.
Unfortunately slander is a difficult one especially with proof. And tbh it wouldn’t be worth taking them to court. Maybe a cease and desist letter might be worth doing in case it escalated.
With you 100%. Old age is awful, they’re past it well and truly. The horses were in terrible condition when they were signed over to you. You have given them the life they deserve not the life they were living with them.
Lee I'm I'm old enough to be your granny..... when you rescued these horses from these people you can see them agreeing for them to go with you.... It's a shame you didn't get all of them.... Anybody who watches your videos is never ever in any doubt of your intentions....keep up the good work and bless all of you at the Asher House .... 🙏💕
You're willing to do the hard part and that's the feeding, cleaning up all the poo and making sure they are healthy. I love to pet and scratch animals and play with them then leave them with their owner. My house mate is his cats servant.( Cat sleeps on my bed and hip) I'm wise enough about me, to know I won't be good with the commitment to consistent care of an animal.
@@kamihorton8579 It is enough for me to have seen the conditions in which these people keep their horses. It's a shame. I don't care about papers. They don't deserve to have animals.
@kamihorton8579 He doesn't have to show the paper work. He's not on trial here just to satisfy your curiosity. The condition of these horses prior to him getting them speaks volumes and the couple were very happy to send the horses off. Stop being a troll
I remember the rescue of the Mini Horses. They are better now, and living whatever time they have left, loved, fed, and cared for because of The Asher House.
I LOVE the Asher House and I believe him. I'm an old person, to some. But fortunately,I forget nothing. But some elders aren't as fortunate. I'm so sorry that they all had to go thru
My first thought....dementia, sadly. It's not uncommon for people with dementia to accuse people of theft. Plus they lose their filter and can become very mean
My husband and I are getting older with some major medical issues plaguing us at this moment in time. We've always loved our fur babies, cats. We also had a 55 gallon tropical fish tank, 2 cockitiels w/hanging cages, 2 domestic rats. We decided after our last fur baby, Rags, went over the rainbow bridge that we couldn't keep carrying supplies up 28 steps, like litter and such, any longer. I couldn't handle water changes in my main tank. The cockitiels passed, one was egg bound and Peaches was just old. We'd still LOVE to have fur babies again but, it wouldn't be fair, to them! As we age we must become honest with ourselves that we cannot provide the care necessary for them and ourselves. So now? We take solice in our children's fur babies. All because we do love them, cats/dogs more than to subject them to not being cared for, properly. ❤ Thank you Lee for rescuing all of the mini-horses that you do have. ❤
I have come across many people who seem to love animals, but they are more concerned about "themselves" and what THEY want and feel, instead of their pets. For example, even when needing to put a pet down at the end of its life, they will allow the pet to suffer because they say things like, "My dog is all I have," or "I don't want to be alone," etc. One reason why I love Lee Asher so much is because I can see his beautiful, selfless heart. And God bless YOU "greatly" for putting your animals' needs before your own! 🙂
@@debragorni2532 Totally understand and agree with you. I’m 71.5, have always had dogs & cats. Currently I have my last cat, I fear, adopted 4.5 yrs ago. I cherish my time with her because I doubt I’ll adopt another pet at this stage in my life. Realistic but sad. ☹️😞
I also remember when Asher House saved these poor horses. They wouldn’t be alive today if not for Lee. Asher House RESCUES animals, not STEALS them. All viewers would stand up for Asher House, the best sanctuary there is ❤❤
Bright, shining star: Then take his message to heart. It’s when you don’t ask the tough questions that things go south. Cult leaders say the same thing over and over to brainwash their followers. Small fire departments in my area are ripe for theft of funds and it happens over and over. Until you visit Asher House and get a first-hand look at their financial status, you will have no what oversight is being provided and if they are financially.in good standing.
As a life long horsewoman, I applaud all you are doing for these guys. Yes, sand is fantastic for sore feet. Also, if they were allowed to graze, it could be dangerous. The grass is very rich and may cause colic. If that woman doesn't know that, she should. These horses are in the BEST home now. I hope the rest of their horses will be rescued/surrendered as well. Thank you Lee and all at The Asher House for caring. 🐴
Yes, mini horses aren't really supposed to be kept in fields on grass. It's recommended for them to be kept on dry lots. They're far more prone to gastrointestinal issues.
Lee Asher & the team deserve respect. Dementia is a sad thing. Surely those watching realize Janice & her partner couldn't be the good providers they may have been years ago. GOD BLESS Asher House & Sanctuary.
I worked in the veterinary field for over 20 years. I have seen more than you can imagine, things that gave me nightmares. And, every single time, the owners would tell us how much they loved their pets. Secondly, I took care of both of my parents until they passed away. My wonderful, amazing dad had alzheimers. He would have bouts of anger and extraordinarily unreasonable demands and behaviors. I am seriously wondering if this woman may be suffering from some form of dementia. Anyway, all of this to say I understand your position and have a huge amount of respect for what you do. I will pray for protection for you and your sanctuary.
Yeah, there's usually a paranoia component to dementia - that a 'switch' gets flipped and suddenly a trusted loved one is 'out to get them' or 'trying to take what's mine' ...even if said object is worthless.
My first thought was also dementia. Even her attitude towards the staff could be from that. 20 yrs ago, she and her husband probably took excellent care of the horses, but being in their 80s makes it impossible. Sounds like they kept the horses 10-15 yrs too long. Sorry to hear about your father. Alzheimer is a terrible disease.
I agree completely! It is sad for everyone involved and it is so sad Lee who has a huge heart is getting the raw end of the deal. Learn and grow! Those horses probably floundered. Grass is too sugary for their feet. Sand is perfect!
I could never work with animals....as a groomer, walking, dog sitting, or in veterinary care or shelter....I could not bear seeing any suffering. I appreciate how much those in veterinary care suffer mentally.
These are older people so I wonder if they are getting geriatric issues. Thank goodness you have the documentation. Please continue to care for these horses.
exactly what I’m thinking. these people are clearly not mentally well. I would not be surprised if they are unable to care for themselves, let alone animals.
This is not dementia. It is just plain, simple meanness and nastiness. She wants to cause trouble because she couldn’t get her way at the sanctuary.❤❤❤🙌🏻
@@rosemarygraham2815 also it's super common any time you have to rescue animals from someone who's neglecting or abusing them, they're usually in denial that THEY are the problem and ALWAYS try control everything.
@@rosemarygraham2815 I'm so sorry, bit this *could* still be a part of dementia. It can cause radical changes in personality and actions. HOWEVER, there is no reason whatsoever that the sanctuary should have to continue to deal with the actions of these people, regardless of the reasons. They tried to be open and understanding of them, but sometimes you just have to cut it off. I would think the sanctuary has an attorney so, hopefully they are well protected.
Lee as a horse owner I back you 100%. And as a person that has watched elderly family members go through dementia I am sorry you are having to deal with that. You have all of your paperwork and video documentation so you have done everything you needed to protect your sanctuary. You are also protecting your staff, excellent. I can see the condition they were in and are now in, so bravo sir. You keep on doing you.
Good idea! Get animal welfare involved in rescuing the other animals in her care! They should not have any animals living in those conditions. Those people are just downright nasty and there is no dementia involved in in this. They are just out to try and cause trouble because they couldn’t get their way with you and your staff.❤❤❤🙌🏻
That saying that you just used, no good deed goes unpunished...If Lee believed that he wouldn't run this fantastic rescue. Not all sayings stand up to the test of time...and Lee is not a vengeful man, he is just going to continue on doing what he does so we can watch and hopefully make a difference the best way we can.
At the very least, whoever goes there to follow up on the report can add weight in to Lee's case in court. They can also see the video of the previous condition of these horses, see how much better they look now, and compare that with the condition of the other horses in this couple's care.
You are one of the most amazing Animal Rescues in the US. It's an absolute blessing to see how you love and care for each and every animal you bring to your Sanctuary. Blessings for all that you do for these depressed and deprived animals. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I remember that day how the event went with you and owners Lee. You helped the people cared so much about the precious horses. I am heart broken that the people are doing this to you.
I remember that rescue. Not only did the Husband help you load the horses, but the Wife is on camera saying how grateful they are that Lee was taking the horses. I an on the didn't need to know side because I can say with 1000% certainty that Lee not only Loves each and every animal at the Sanctuary, but he takes care of their every needs. Sending Love and Hugs to Lee, his Staff and all of the animals ❤😊
I remember your video on these beautiful horses, i was so happy you and the team rescued them, that couple picked the wrong Rescue Organisation to lie about and try to dupe. She completed and signed the Owner Release Forms, so for people talking trash about Lee and the team, just stop it, they do the job they do because they love all animals and have the experience and determination to care for them and give them the love and dignity they deserve. Love and support for Lee and the incredible team at the Asher House.😍🙏
I have 20 years in the foster/rescue field. People can be ruthless. I 100% agree, saying you love an animal doesn't mean you can care for them. Thank you to Lee & all the Asher family for loving and caring for all the animals. 💕 😊
Sadly, it’s possible that 1 or both of the couple have memory loss, maybe even dementia or Alzheimer’s. I live in a senior housing complex & I watch people lose their memories; it’s very sad! But we all know you Lee, & your fine character/good intentions! We stand by you, trust you. Hang in there; get a lawyer (preferably pro bono) if needed. Be careful what you say without the lawyer by your side. You’re smart, capable and GOOD!! Be strong!!! Keep us all posted, please!!!
Lee! I remember this. It was a rescue of ABUSED horses! They signed the forms. By all rights they should have been charged with animal abuse! Do not sweat this at all! 💕
Oh gosh Lee I’m so sorry that you’re going thru this. These horses are much better off in your sanctuary and your care. People suck and they do unspeakable things to animals which breaks my heart. Please know we saw your videos about this rescue and those people are so wrong to do this. We are so happy these precious babies can live out the rest of their lives happy, safe, healthy, and so loved. We love you Lee! Keep rescuing and saving these amazing animals.
I remember watching this rescue and they were happy to get rid of these mini horses. You did not do anything wrong and we stand behind you 100% Lee. Don't give these horses back to them try and get the rest of them. You are the best and Asher team is the best❤
It is APPALLING that the previous owners are lying and trying to hurt your rescue. I makes me so MAD that they STILL have criminally neglected animals. Where is the animal control officers? Why aren't the owners being prosecuted for the ongoing neglect? Thanks for all the hard work you and your team do to save so many animals!
I feel like they think they can make some money selling these sweet minis now. They neglected them. You invested the work and care. As a lifelong horse woman who, at age 68, has rescued thoroughbreds.....I don't believe for a second they want them back out of love. I think they want the money they can make selling them. Their vet can attest to their lack of care......they are backyard breeders not caring about anything but the al.ighty dollar. Thank you for what you do......
I remember seeing the video when you were talking with the owner of these horses. You did good Lee so many things can go wrong with horses if you don't care for them properly. Thank you for rescuing these precious babies to live out the rest of their lives loved.
I’m so sorry she treated you and your team so horribly! Thank you for rescuing those poor horses❣️ I love you and your team, every one of you❣️ I love you too❣️
Sadly people need to look after animals . These people were not feeding or caring f😅r their animals . Thank you Lee for bringing this up . 😮 appreciate all your team does
I am so sorry that you are dealing with this situation. Anyone who has watched your videos knows how much you love the animals in your care. God bless you and your staff.
The sort of crap rescues have to put up with mind boggles me. Anyone who has followed Lee Asher, and I have for years, knows the animals always come first and he is totally transparent and above board with everything he does. Keep doing what your doing Lee and The Asher House Team 😃❤❤
Thank you for sharing this with us. If the rest of their horses are neglected then they should lose those as well. You do amazing work that many would not do. Those horses are the best place possible. God bless you and your staff.
I'm crying. Those old people have dementia. Lee, you are the best. Screw them. The horses are in the best place ever. They are going to thrive with you & your team. As if the woman knows what's best for them. If she did, they wouldn't have been in the shape they're in. Get a restraining order against the woman.
You can't blame dementia on all old folks actions sometimes people are just plain nasty. I know this from personal experience. Dementia sometimes is used to cover up the bad side of human nature. 🏴
And she seemed grateful at the time of their rescue. So sad she has turned hateful. I remember thinking how lovely it was you could care for and heal them. Love and hugs to the pack. Peace and healing to all. 💙🌻💙
I have seen nothing but your love for the animals you rescue. You are so right, people love animals and many cannot take care of them. I will always stand with you. I love Asher House. 🙏🙏💕💕🐕🐕🐴🐴
Oh my word, I remember this n several videos where you helped them and offered them to see them at any time. You have video evidence . You also have the vets evidence .Other than she has developed some form of dementia then she has no grounds whatsoever. I’m glad you have put this on line with your part but social media is very dangerous. You have saved so may lives n set up n maintained a pure animal paradise. Not everyone is like you n your team. You have sacrificed so much time n energy in rescue. Bless you n your team 👏👏🙏🙏🤞😍❣️
Wow! I am sorry you are having to deal with these horrible people. When it comes to saving animals we see the worst of humans. Thank you for rescuing these beautiful horses. I appreciate you and your team fighting for the animals. Bless you all. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I remember when you went out to the older couple's place and rescued the horses. I remember how badly the horses needed to get away from that place and come with/to the Asher House! Their hoofs were in such awful shape. What mean people they are! I dare them! Lee, you dont need to worry. ANYBODY that knows Asher House, knows you ALWAYS do what's best for the animal! Thank you for all that you do! Thank you for saving these horses lives and giving them a beautiful future! ♥ 😊 🏇
I certainly hope you were able to find a way to rescue the rest of the horses. No animal should ever suffer or live like that. My heart goes out to those poor babies and I’m so glad that you have the ones you do and I’ll pray that you get the rest sending love and prayers to everyone all creatures, great and small at the sanctuary
They’re old and losing their minds …I know in my heart ♥️ you and your team will love them …we have your back …thank you so much for loving these sweet angels 😇🩷🐴
You took her power away. She had her nose pushed out. She couldn’t look after the horses. Can’t you take legal action to protect the rest of the animals she has? You certainly have proof. Keep doing what you do Lee. Love to you, the team and all the precious animals you protect xx
Prayers for you, your staff and all the precious critters you care for. I will continue to pray for your Sanctuary. Knowing it is sound and if needed for legal fees. Simply ask. Many would aid your efforts! Love you all!!!❤😂🎉
Some people think they can take advantage of anyone they want. I want you to know that I'm behind you 💯. You were there when they needed you, but now they think they can take advantage of your beautiful soul . I am sorry that you and your team have to go through all of this. Love you, Lee!!🩷🩷🩷
I agree,the fact they were breeding them for money,with no regard for their health ,so I don't care what age they are ,not all elderly are nice.im with Lee,
Thanks Lee. I think it’s good to share things like this. I consider it good education. If everyone truly loved animals and took care of them, the shelters would be empty!
Lee, your doin the right thing. I work everyday with elderly dementia residents and you are being faced w that. They are very unpredictable. The best advice I can give you is to use an Out of sight Out of mind victory for those horses. That couples family and friends need to get everything on their property that would remind them about the horses OUT OF SIGHT It's truly the best thing for them, the horses, and YOU. They need to Divert their attention. YOU AND ALL YOUR CREW ARE are rocking it. They never have a NORMAL memory loss, it's ALWAYS all over the place. LOVE YALL P. Booker
'No good deed goes unpunished', Lee. What a nightmare. No one will believe any of the crap these two are spouting. I'd threaten legal action if I were you think - for slander.
I totally remember this episode Lee Asher. I am betting money that this lady has dementia. I’m only saying this bc I have worked in long term care for a long time and have seen this behaviour. Seriously! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. They should be thankful but instead accusatory! CRAZYYY! Tc Lee and team.
Lee, thank you for sharing. Those of us who watch your videos and have gotten to know the Asher House through the videos know that you guys are 1000% for the animals. I watched the videos when you got those horses and I can't believe someone would behave that way when those beautiful horses were saved. Good for you for not letting her visit the horses anymore. You guys just keep doing what you do. I am an animal lover (especially doggies!!) and I am absolutely amazed, in awe, and am inspired by you. Much love to you all!
They are elderly and should be working with rescues who will take care of their animals after they are gone. Lee took their highest needs horses and the couple should be grateful. I hope someone will help the other horses in their care.
Makes my blood boil when people get animals and say they love them but neglect basic care. I dont care how old they are, they need to be held accountable. Youve done exactly the right thing Lee, we are all behind you
No one could ever convince me that you stole these horses. Everything you do revolves around the love and care the animals in your care need. You and your team are the very best at what you do. Please don't let someone like this dissuade you. Your organization is one of the best I have ever seen. You are truly a blessing for these animals. Keep up the fantastic work of saving those lives. You are truly a very special person.
I’m so sorry this is happening. Sounds like The Asher House is and has done everything possible to keep those sweet little horses safe, healthy and secure. GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THIS ORGANIZATION 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Unbelievable!!! Nobody could ever imagine you would steal horses. You have given them the most amazing life where they can thrive. We are forever grateful for everything you do for all the animals in your care. God bless you and all at Asher House. Best wishes from Ireland ❤
Its all on tape that they are lying. Plus the vet can attest to their horrible condition.

Lets leave him to it.

File a complaint against them for animal cruelty with the vet’s testimony. Those beautiful horses must come to your sanctuary.
This couple’s care of these horses was abusive -probably criminal. These horses are very lucky to be well taken care of.
My heart is breaking for the horses that were left behind 😢
Can animal control do something about the ones left?
@@aterryadg I would have thought the vet would have been able to do that when she saw they weren't care for?

They can't have both dementia they're just horrible people
It's sounds like it.
When my grandmother got it, she accused my mom of holding her hostage.
So yea... They get hostile and angry. 😢
These are older people so I wonder if they are getting geriatric issues. Thank goodness you have the documentation. Please continue to care for these horses.
exactly what I’m thinking. these people are clearly not mentally well. I would not be surprised if they are unable to care for themselves, let alone animals.
This is not dementia. It is just plain, simple meanness and nastiness. She wants to cause trouble because she couldn’t get her way at the sanctuary.❤❤❤🙌🏻
@@rosemarygraham2815 also it's super common any time you have to rescue animals from someone who's neglecting or abusing them, they're usually in denial that THEY are the problem and ALWAYS try control everything.
@@rosemarygraham2815
I'm so sorry, bit this *could* still be a part of dementia. It can cause radical changes in personality and actions.
HOWEVER, there is no reason whatsoever that the sanctuary should have to continue to deal with the actions of these people, regardless of the reasons. They tried to be open and understanding of them, but sometimes you just have to cut it off. I would think the sanctuary has an attorney so, hopefully they are well protected.
@@Debbie1746 i agree, this happened to my mom at the end. She became a nightmare.
Lee as a horse owner I back you 100%. And as a person that has watched elderly family members go through dementia I am sorry you are having to deal with that. You have all of your paperwork and video documentation so you have done everything you needed to protect your sanctuary. You are also protecting your staff, excellent. I can see the condition they were in and are now in, so bravo sir. You keep on doing you.
No good deed goes unpunished! File a report against her for animal abuse on the remaining horses.
Good idea! Get animal welfare involved in rescuing the other animals in her care! They should not have any animals living in those conditions. Those people are just downright nasty and there is no dementia involved in in this. They are just out to try and cause trouble because they couldn’t get their way with you and your staff.❤❤❤🙌🏻
Exactly
That saying that you just used, no good deed goes unpunished...If Lee believed that he wouldn't run this fantastic rescue. Not all sayings stand up to the test of time...and Lee is not a vengeful man, he is just going to continue on doing what he does so we can watch and hopefully make a difference the best way we can.
Very good idea.👍🏻 The remaining horses there are still in hell… Poor horses…
At the very least, whoever goes there to follow up on the report can add weight in to Lee's case in court. They can also see the video of the previous condition of these horses, see how much better they look now, and compare that with the condition of the other horses in this couple's care.
We know your character, Lee. This is sad. You are such a loving man.
Amen 🙏 ❤
Yes, and love means taking good care of the animals.
You are one of the most amazing Animal Rescues in the US. It's an absolute blessing to see how you love and care for each and every animal you bring to your Sanctuary. Blessings for all that you do for these depressed and deprived animals. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I remember that day how the event went with you and owners Lee. You helped the people cared so much about the precious horses. I am heart broken that the people are doing this to you.
AMEN
I remember that rescue. Not only did the Husband help you load the horses, but the Wife is on camera saying how grateful they are that Lee was taking the horses. I an on the didn't need to know side because I can say with 1000% certainty that Lee not only Loves each and every animal at the Sanctuary, but he takes care of their every needs. Sending Love and Hugs to Lee, his Staff and all of the animals ❤😊
Yeah, I remember that video as well. Fingers crossed that Asher House is able to get the ones left behind at some point.
I remember that video as well.
I remember your video on these beautiful horses, i was so happy you and the team rescued them, that couple picked the wrong Rescue Organisation to lie about and try to dupe. She completed and signed the Owner Release Forms, so for people talking trash about Lee and the team, just stop it, they do the job they do because they love all animals and have the experience and determination to care for them and give them the love and dignity they deserve. Love and support for Lee and the incredible team at the Asher House.😍🙏
You have video evidence…they needed to be rescued. Thank you Lee and team for all that you do. 🙏🙏💖
He also has the veterinarian's documentation about the condition that they were in.
I have 20 years in the foster/rescue field. People can be ruthless. I 100% agree, saying you love an animal doesn't mean you can care for them. Thank you to Lee & all the Asher family for loving and caring for all the animals. 💕 😊
Sadly, it’s possible that 1 or both of the couple have memory loss, maybe even dementia or Alzheimer’s. I live in a senior housing complex & I watch people lose their memories; it’s very sad! But we all know you Lee, & your fine character/good intentions! We stand by you, trust you. Hang in there; get a lawyer (preferably pro bono) if needed. Be careful what you say without the lawyer by your side. You’re smart, capable and GOOD!! Be strong!!! Keep us all posted, please!!!
Having followed you for years i know you did everything correctly. We stand with you.
Lee! I remember this. It was a rescue of ABUSED horses! They signed the forms. By all rights they should have been charged with animal abuse! Do not sweat this at all! 💕
these horses were not abused. neglected maybe but not abused.
@ same difference in my eyes ..you don’t care for them that is abuse! Children are taken away for same thing sheesh 🙄
Oh gosh Lee I’m so sorry that you’re going thru this. These horses are much better off in your sanctuary and your care. People suck and they do unspeakable things to animals which breaks my heart. Please know we saw your videos about this rescue and those people are so wrong to do this. We are so happy these precious babies can live out the rest of their lives happy, safe, healthy, and so loved. We love you Lee! Keep rescuing and saving these amazing animals.
I remember watching this rescue and they were happy to get rid of these mini horses. You did not do anything wrong and we stand behind you 100% Lee. Don't give these horses back to them try and get the rest of them. You are the best and Asher team is the best❤
Yes, finding a way to free the rest of the horses would be awesome.
Totally 💯
People know your heart and mission. As stated by some others about elderly people and it is sad. God bless you and your staff.
It is APPALLING that the previous owners are lying and trying to hurt your rescue. I makes me so MAD that they STILL have criminally neglected animals. Where is the animal control officers? Why aren't the owners being prosecuted for the ongoing neglect? Thanks for all the hard work you and your team do to save so many animals!
I feel like they think they can make some money selling these sweet minis now. They neglected them. You invested the work and care. As a lifelong horse woman who, at age 68, has rescued thoroughbreds.....I don't believe for a second they want them back out of love. I think they want the money they can make selling them. Their vet can attest to their lack of care......they are backyard breeders not caring about anything but the al.ighty dollar. Thank you for what you do......
I don't think anyone questions your integrity or that of The Asher House. Keep doing what you do.
I remember seeing the video when you were talking with the owner of these horses. You did good Lee so many things can go wrong with horses if you don't care for them properly. Thank you for rescuing these precious babies to live out the rest of their lives loved.
I am so happy that you have been documenting your interactions with the public. It helps you stay safe. We have your back.
So this couple is delusional and mentally ill and should probably be in a home.
God bless you for rescuing these precious horses. This couple should never have any animals.
Lee, I knew you would never steal those horses, you have a BIG ❤️. God Bless you & your staff !!!
Bless you, Lee...these horses are in the best place possible.
I’m so sorry she treated you and your team so horribly! Thank you for rescuing those poor horses❣️
I love you and your team, every one of you❣️ I love you too❣️
Sadly people need to look after animals . These people were not feeding or caring f😅r their animals .
Thank you Lee for bringing this up .
😮 appreciate all your team does
I am so sorry that you are dealing with this situation. Anyone who has watched your videos knows how much you love the animals in your care. God bless you and your staff.
Amen 🌼
I hope you can rescue the remaining horses. Poor things.
Thank you for everything you do for these beautiful creatures. God bless you. ✝️🙏
This is why it's good that you guys film so much when doing these rescues. You cannot dispute a videoed conversation
You’re doing the correct thing. No explanation needed! The last part of the video is spot on!
Dementia comes in many degrees! God Bless those in dementia turmoil and God bless you Asher House for rescuing and caring for all the animals!❤❤❤
You mean there are still more horses trapped in that hell hole??? Bless their hearts. Thank you for rescuing the ones you were able to get.
yep and it was over a year and a half ago as well really dont want to think about what they have endured
You did this couple (& horses!) a huge favor!!
They should feel greatful & blessed. Period 🤯
Lee, we know who you are and what you do, and that's all anyone needs to know... We love for what you do.
Thank you
Great 👍 Job, Hi 👋 Lee
The sort of crap rescues have to put up with mind boggles me. Anyone who has followed Lee Asher, and I have for years, knows the animals always come first and he is totally transparent and above board with everything he does. Keep doing what your doing Lee and The Asher House Team 😃❤❤
You 💯 rescued them I remember the rescue they were in terrible condition
Thank you for sharing this with us. If the rest of their horses are neglected then they should lose those as well. You do amazing work that many would not do. Those horses are the best place possible. God bless you and your staff.
I'm crying. Those old people have dementia. Lee, you are the best. Screw them. The horses are in the best place ever. They are going to thrive with you & your team. As if the woman knows what's best for them. If she did, they wouldn't have been in the shape they're in. Get a restraining order against the woman.
You can't blame dementia on all old folks actions sometimes people are just plain nasty. I know this from personal experience. Dementia sometimes is used to cover up the bad side of human nature. 🏴
I believe, as well, that the couple have dementia/Alzheimer's disease. They really don't know what they are doing.
Pretty sure I remember her saying they had issues and could no longer clean or care for the horses. I'm so glad you documented every interaction.
Thank you Lee ❤🙏😇😉
I remember when you rescued those horses . Unfortunately they were not being cared for and now they are. You are wonderful to all your rescues.❤
And she seemed grateful at the time of their rescue. So sad she has turned hateful. I remember thinking how lovely it was you could care for and heal them. Love and hugs to the pack. Peace and healing to all. 💙🌻💙
I have seen nothing but your love for the animals you rescue. You are so right, people love animals and many cannot take care of them. I will always stand with you. I love Asher House. 🙏🙏💕💕🐕🐕🐴🐴
Oh my word, I remember this n several videos where you helped them and offered them to see them at any time. You have video evidence . You also have the vets evidence .Other than she has developed some form of dementia then she has no grounds whatsoever. I’m glad you have put this on line with your part but social media is very dangerous. You have saved so may lives n set up n maintained a pure animal paradise. Not everyone is like you n your team. You have sacrificed so much time n energy in rescue. Bless you n your team 👏👏🙏🙏🤞😍❣️
This!
These precious horses were on a horse mill. God Bless you for all your hard work.❤
Wow! I am sorry you are having to deal with these horrible people. When it comes to saving animals we see the worst of humans. Thank you for rescuing these beautiful horses. I appreciate you and your team fighting for the animals. Bless you all. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lee we see everyday your dedication to help animals by saving their lives. We back you 100%.
That’s why it’s important to have the videos of all the rescue missions and the proper paperwork.
Thanks Lee for everything you do!!!❤❤❤❤
I remember when you went out to the older couple's place and rescued the horses. I remember how badly the horses needed to get away from that place and come with/to the Asher House! Their hoofs were in such awful shape. What mean people they are! I dare them! Lee, you dont need to worry. ANYBODY that knows Asher House, knows you ALWAYS do what's best for the animal! Thank you for all that you do! Thank you for saving these horses lives and giving them a beautiful future! ♥ 😊 🏇
You do not have
to convince anyone . Sometimes people who are getting on in years can be extremely mean . You keep caring for those precious horses.
Great Job on rescuing the horses awesome love it
I remember the day you saved these beautiful horses 😢you saved there life 💘 and yelling no way you are so caring 💕💕💕
I certainly hope you were able to find a way to rescue the rest of the horses. No animal should ever suffer or live like that. My heart goes out to those poor babies and I’m so glad that you have the ones you do and I’ll pray that you get the rest sending love and prayers to everyone all creatures, great and small at the sanctuary
Get *all* the horses, Lee! We love you, trust you and support your work 100 %. Those sorry excuses for human beings can go to hell.
Maybe they are not in the right mind. Illness. I hope that’s the case Lee ❤
I believe that they are in mental decline. 😞
They’re old and losing their minds …I know in my heart ♥️ you and your team will love them …we have your back …thank you so much for loving these sweet angels 😇🩷🐴
You took her power away. She had her nose pushed out. She couldn’t look after the horses. Can’t you take legal action to protect the rest of the animals she has? You certainly have proof. Keep doing what you do Lee. Love to you, the team and all the precious animals you protect xx
Oh wow! They have more horses?! NOOOO!
Prayers for you, your staff and all the precious critters you care for. I will continue to pray for your Sanctuary. Knowing it is sound and if needed for legal fees. Simply ask. Many would aid your efforts! Love you all!!!❤😂🎉
Some people think they can take advantage of anyone they want. I want you to know that I'm behind you 💯. You were there when they needed you, but now they think they can take advantage of your beautiful soul . I am sorry that you and your team have to go through all of this. Love you, Lee!!🩷🩷🩷
I agree,the fact they were breeding them for money,with no regard for their health ,so I don't care what age they are ,not all elderly are nice.im with Lee,
Thanks Lee. I think it’s good to share things like this. I consider it good education. If everyone truly loved animals and took care of them, the shelters would be empty!
Lee, your doin the right thing. I work everyday with elderly dementia residents and you are being faced w that. They are very unpredictable. The best advice I can give you is to use an Out of sight Out of mind victory for those horses.
That couples family and friends need to get everything on their property that would remind them about the horses
OUT OF SIGHT
It's truly the best thing for them, the horses, and YOU.
They need to Divert their attention.
YOU AND ALL YOUR CREW ARE are rocking it.
They never have a NORMAL memory loss, it's ALWAYS all over the place.
LOVE YALL
P. Booker
'No good deed goes unpunished', Lee. What a nightmare. No one will believe any of the crap these two are spouting. I'd threaten legal action if I were you think - for slander.
I’m sorry. Thanks for your integrity. Thank you for giving the mini horses a new lease on life. Hope you can get the rest of them out of horse hell.
Good for you 👍👍👍 appreciate ALL that you do. If people don’t agree with whatever, doesn’t matter. Continue on Good Sir!
I totally remember this episode Lee Asher. I am betting money that this lady has dementia. I’m only saying this bc I have worked in long term care for a long time and have seen this behaviour. Seriously! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. They should be thankful but instead accusatory! CRAZYYY! Tc Lee and team.
I agree... dementia/Alzheimer's disease. 😞
I remember this rescue very well
Lee, thank you for sharing. Those of us who watch your videos and have gotten to know the Asher House through the videos know that you guys are 1000% for the animals. I watched the videos when you got those horses and I can't believe someone would behave that way when those beautiful horses were saved. Good for you for not letting her visit the horses anymore. You guys just keep doing what you do. I am an animal lover (especially doggies!!) and I am absolutely amazed, in awe, and am inspired by you. Much love to you all!
You have everything on film for that day I remember it too God bless you and the little horses you rescue and I hope it gets worked out❤❤❤
They are elderly and should be working with rescues who will take care of their animals after they are gone. Lee took their highest needs horses and the couple should be grateful. I hope someone will help the other horses in their care.
Makes my blood boil when people get animals and say they love them but neglect basic care. I dont care how old they are, they need to be held accountable. Youve done exactly the right thing Lee, we are all behind you
We have your back… you take such good care of every animal…..
No one could ever convince me that you stole these horses. Everything you do revolves around the love and care the animals in your care need. You and your team are the very best at what you do. Please don't let someone like this dissuade you. Your organization is one of the best I have ever seen. You are truly a blessing for these animals. Keep up the fantastic work of saving those lives. You are truly a very special person.
I’m so sorry this is happening. Sounds like The Asher House is and has done everything possible to keep those sweet little horses safe, healthy and secure. GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THIS ORGANIZATION 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Unbelievable!!! Nobody could ever imagine you would steal horses. You have given them the most amazing life where they can thrive. We are forever grateful for everything you do for all the animals in your care. God bless you and all at Asher House. Best wishes from Ireland ❤
Sad to hear that. Love the Asher House ❤
God bless you young man. Just know some people just suck as human beings. All of our companions have been rescues. They are the best
I remember seeing you rescue those mini horses . The owners were glad you rescued them .
And it's recorded. This is another reason I like animals more than most people. Bless Asher House!!
