My Dear Vet Ladies and Tawnee: That was a very tough buyout. I seriously do not know how you do it. But I am grateful that you soldier forward in spite of your pain. Hugs from Southern California Inland Horse Country! 💓💓💓🤠
I'm just glad all those horses came to you. Some of them have no future, but at least their not suffering anymore. Thank you for all you do for them !!!
I had wanted to be a veterinarian, but I think I would have always been in tears. Both of you are fantastic. I love Horse Plus because you put the needs of the animals first.
Bless HPHS for purchasing these poor broken down babies so their horrendous suffering is brought to an end. I consider my monthly donations to be well spent, and I wish I could double it.❤
I watched the buyout and it was so sad to see some of those horses come in the way they did. At least with the last act of kindness they died with dignity and they knew they were loved💔🌹🐎💕
Thank you so much for the buy-out updates. Having to go over each horse again & especially those that have been given the last act of kindness is so emotionally draining for you all. Please look after yourselves as well. ❤❤❤
Thank you two lovely Vets to take these poor Souls out of their misery and step in to take responsibility…which their owners should have done a long time ago….Thank you for your kindness and compassion for these poor Horses❤❤
I saw the Halflinger and git excited! Would love for my next horse to be one. But am so glad yall gave the last act if kindness. Maybe you will find another
I think about the ones that no longer suffer, but I know there are more trucks out there with some that may be saved. You folks are one of the only hopes and I am a member because of your love for animals, but also for doing the right thing. We all pray for you and share your heart's burden. God bless you.❤❤❤❤
I have to say that the ending after you were done talking about bogey was very heartwarming .. You both showed us with grace the profound depth of consideration that you go to.. you showed us your hearts.. yeah we all know that you are heros and that you have immense courage to do what you do.. but at the end I saw into your souls.. yes thank the stars that the horses who needed the last act of kindness ended up at your rescue.. and ended up knowing love and comfort and respect before they crossed the rainbow bridge .. the alternative is horrific... I'm having such a hard time trying to find some sort of understanding why the owners of the horses that had broken legs or a disease with no good outcome didnt give their horse the kindest most loving and respectful decision that they could make... Last act of kindness or as I call it helping a soul fly free of its earthly pain.. I just cannot understand people who can stop an animals suffering but instead gets those last few dollars or maybe they can't afford to give the last act of kindness maybe they think naively that sending them to the pipeline will take care of euthanasia.. that's a scary thought .. to consider that some people are actually not aware what happens to the sick or challenged horses at auctions .. what it means to be loaded into a k**l buyers semi .. Thankyou to these two woman vets thankyou for caring for every animal that comes into your lives .. and thankyou for caring for eachother ..you have my highest respect.. and thankyou for sharing your feelings that touched my heart .
Hello from Xenia Ohio. 70, sunny and beautiful here!! I love HPHS and totally trust these amazing vets that I KNOW will make the right call for these beautiful babies!!!
You two are absolutely wonderful ladies. I learn so much from these debriefs, and you explain everything so clearly so that also laymen can understand your decisions.
Thank you for this post and all the info on these wonderful horses and mules and ponies. Glad to see a Morgan thrown in! I know how sad these intakes are for y’all and my prayers are with you and those equines as well as your full staff.
I just feel so sorry for all the horses that slip through your fingers and we all need to pray for them because of what's ahead of them. God bless them all and God help them. 💔🌹🐎🙏
Sometimes the only kindness you can offer is ending pain. It must be very hard for Dr. Gina and Dr. Lydia to see so many neglected animals. Most horse owners take wonderful care of their horses. These are like the worst cases in the country.
There's 20 to 40 baby draft horses at Bowie livestock in Texas that need saved. Please help them out. Before they get shipped to slaughter. Fletcher farms saved 10 of the old draft horses. Julie Fletcher has a short video of the babies. The babies are 6 months to 1 year old.😢
Tell whoever is shipping them to take them to HP instead. Obviously I would confirm with Hp staff but it's worth a shot. Put HP contact links in all Livestock auction group posts. Let people know there's a better option ❤
Great breakdown of all of the horses that were brought in. As far as the medical jargon, I understand it all because I am a retired medical professional, but a lot of people won’t understand. I can see this video is very informative, but seems very much time consuming for Tawnee,Dr Gina,and Dr Lydia. I hope that my constructive criticism has not been taken wrong. I also feel that you all will be getting even more slaughter pipeline horses since Hurricane Helene. Thank you for what you all do!
Intake day must be brutal for everyone involved, Thank you for doing everything you can for all the horses and mules. Hoping for some fun surgery and some wins over the next month for you all.
I can't imagine the emotional toll not only having to make the decision to euthanize but also having to perform the task to half of the horses that came in.
I know it’s difficult, but one of the numbers that would be interesting is number saved and then how many are decompressing. I don’t want to ask how many were given that last act of kindness because sometimes it’s like 50% but that would be an interesting addition. Thank you.
I understand how hard it is to give the last act of kindness, it is so important though! I have 3 ponies, all have PPID and are on Prascend. One, a Hackney pony I got from a kill pen, was horribly thin and her hips are lopsided still 4 years later. Her PPID testing was 1014! Her last test was still high but she is getting 2.5 tabs of Prascend. I am wondering if I shouldn't let her go peacefully too now as she always seems cold. We live in ND. . winters are cold. My vet is wonderful, but I don't think he has dealt with rescues like you two have. I keep eyeing her hips and think that has got to be painful. I guess when she is ready she will let me know? LOVE ALL YOU DO!
it's a real pity that there isn't a good animal sanctuary which would work with you which could take in the animals without teeth, these could have good continued lives if fed mashes. In my own country there are some excellent animal sanctuaries where animals can live out their lives.
Very nice how you were able to put up the photo for each horse, appreciate that extra effort and really nice to see them all with a name. Here’s something you might want to consider going forward, from someone who also makes YT videos. First suggestion: maybe you could put a line of text at the bottom of the video that stays throughout stating something like “ all painful animals were given pain meds even if we don’t explicitly state so” and/or “in these videos we share the hardest cases first because we prioritize those animals’ treatment, happier outcomes will be at the end” (aka, what Dr Lydia was saying on the fly) Second suggestion: state that text right at the beginning so that the vets don’t feel like they have to backtrack/interrupt/defend themselves during the debrief. I appreciate how hard this is for the vets and hope it brings them a little bit of closure as it does for the audience ❤
Just have a question.. does dehydration make a heart murmur sound worse and after hydration the murmur could become less severe? Just wondering, because I had an equine cardiologist tell me this.
While heartbreaking, it *seems* like HPHS would be a great place for a vet ER residency program. I've heard the vets say several times "I've never seen this before" or "I've read about this but never seen it in person" or flat out "we don't know what this is". Would that be something you are considering/might consider in future? Thank you both for the work you do with the animals and for the work keeping the public/viewers informed.
The horse with herpes is going to be an infectious risk for his entire life. Why would you even consider treating him so he can be adopted? This is not something you can fix.
What are people doing being allowed to auction and trade these poor poor animals???. What is going on? Surely animals have to be certified as healthy for sale?
This is the USA, there are plenty of holes they can jump through due to the lack of shits given by those who can take in a profit from keeping their head down & mouth shut
Equine Cushing's disease, also known as pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), is a hormonal disease that affects the pituitary gland in horses: Symptoms Horses with PPID may have a long, wavy coat that doesn't shed, increased sweating, weight loss, and excessive drinking and urinating. Other symptoms include lethargy, laminitis, bulging eyes, and blindness. Causes PPID occurs when the pituitary gland produces too many hormones because the normal mechanisms that control hormone production are damaged. This can be due to the pituitary gland enlarging as part of the aging process. Prevalence PPID is most common in older horses, ponies, and donkeys, with the average age of diagnosis being 19 years. Ponies are more likely to be affected than horses, but mares and geldings are equally likely. Treatment Treatment for PPID usually involves a combination of diet and medication. The medication of choice is pergolide mesylate (Prascend), which is administered orally one to two times daily. Diet should be low in sugar and starch, and supplemented with vitamins, minerals, and protein. Prevention To prevent your horse from getting PPID, you can: Feed them a balanced diet with minimal sugar Exercise them regularly to maintain a healthy weight Keep them stress-free Take them to the vet regularly
So the patella is a kneecap in humans and in horses is typically referred to as the stifle. So if they say upward fixation of the patella, in laymans terms in Australia, we call that stiflelock or a locking stifle.
Pardon this rather gross question, but if these severely infected horses do end up being slaughtered, where does the meat go, given the infection. Beef and lamb have to be inspected and deemed fit for human consumption, don’t know about pet food but I’d hope the food I give my dog isn’t coming from these poor creatures. What exactly is the “meat byproduct” that is noted in the ingredients of pet food, I notice horses and donkeys aren’t mentioned.
They showed pictures of all the horses. I think this is a very nice method of presentation for the overview. I don’t understand why you didn’t see the photos, but if you go to the video of the buyout, you will get a lot more info. Also, if you donate, members get to see extra videos.
I recommend watching the almost live again and there you can see, as the vets talk, checking teeth, radiographs, palpating spines etc so hopefully it all makes a bit more sense.

The more exposure Horseplus gets though the more possible donations they may get so interaction with general public is important

Thank you for doing the hard work. ❤
I have so much respect for all of you.
I saw a video this morning of a mustang picking it's way up into the hills with some supplies.
I can't imagine the emotional toll not only having to make the decision to euthanize but also having to perform the task to half of the horses that came in.
Great video guys

Good Evening
Just have a question.. does dehydration make a heart murmur sound worse and after hydration the murmur could become less severe? Just wondering, because I had an equine cardiologist tell me this.
Yes. It’s not uncommon for malnourished or dehydrated horses to have a heart murmur that later resolves.
Yes, I've heard them say sometimes dehydration causes a heart murmer to present as well.
While heartbreaking, it *seems* like HPHS would be a great place for a vet ER residency program. I've heard the vets say several times "I've never seen this before" or "I've read about this but never seen it in person" or flat out "we don't know what this is". Would that be something you are considering/might consider in future?
Thank you both for the work you do with the animals and for the work keeping the public/viewers informed.
👍🐎👍🐎👍
It’s funny as they talk you can tell which ones they euthanized like right away. Every horse was immediately talked about in past tense if euthanized.
What's funny (like scary funny not ha ha funny) is that you think anything concerning euthanasia is funny.😢 c'mon now...
I mean she did say something about the ones that were put down they went first in the debriefing.....
The horse with herpes is going to be an infectious risk for his entire life. Why would you even consider treating him so he can be adopted? This is not something you can fix.
What are people doing being allowed to auction and trade these poor poor animals???. What is going on? Surely animals have to be certified as healthy for sale?

I'm pretty sure they have an on-site large animal crematorium.
Please show us what the vets are talking about- photos please. Watching them talk gives me no clue as to what they are talking about
We provided photos of each horse thank you for your comment :)

Videos of them on the buyout day while giving details on condition and outcome .
Listening is not sèeing. I cannot concentrate when she talks.
