Imagine being blind and hustled around to these loud horrible auctions😢😢 Poor baby must have been terrified
Exactly..you could see their fear and confusion..just taken to different auctions..all the noises..shouting..horses getting stressed.. they're moved to the trailer. poor poor horses
The staff are so good and gentle with the blind horses. ❤❤❤
This tore at my heart. I felt so sorry for the blind horses. I can't imagine the fear any of the horses (blind or not) experience.
@emilyhope7468 Yes, me too, Emily..its frightening for all the horses 🐎 but to be blind and have to just deal with getting off the trailer and not knowing if it is safe ..but l also imagine the treatment they'd get at auction and going to slaughter..Kory can identify them as they come off the trailer because of his experience he can tell they can't see..and watching Horse Plus and Pony Tales Rescue too l see the blind ones once they de-stress they can have very full lives doing trail rides..they don't just have to be pasture pets..before l started watching these two wonderful organisations l had no idea that a blind horse could be ridden..but of course once they trust their human they know they will guide them with their eyes..that poor Draft with the awful leg infections..and the one with the broken leg..l just don't understand how ANY owner could just firstly leave their horse for months like that and then send them to auction.. Pony Tales has just taken in an owner surrender draft. She is beautiful ..but I've never seen a horse, so lame on all 4 feet. It's clear she is in absolute agony!!
She is BRED !! and only 8 weeks away from foaling..the vet looked at the trays they did and said he'd never seen anything so bad..all her coffin bones are gone..on one foot there is no sign if it at all so she is walking on her ankle bone..they are hoping their farrier..who is the best I've ever seen..can take the shoes off because the nails are obviously making it worse as nothing to attach to..and put soft 'moonboots' on to give her some relief and although a pregnant horse is not supposed to have the painkiller Bute because of the foal he said she has to have it twice daily or he couldn't condone keeping her alive in the pain she's in..but as only 8 weeks to yo..foal should be OK.. God knows how he will get those shoes off as standing on 3 feet is going to be so hard for her.. please think about subscribing to Pony Tales.. They are a full circle of life partner, and they won one of Horse Plus' first competitions and won $10,000.. They're much smaller, obviously, but they do great work..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️💔💔🐎🐎🐴👏🇺🇸
@@kimmarievan-ever6599 I can tell from your comment that you are fully into stopping the horrific treatment of animals, horses for sure. I cry a lot watching both Horse Plus and Pony Tales as well. Two wonderful groups of dedicated people. I wish I were wealthy as I would be donating hefty amounts to them both. Pony Tales really needs a better stock setup now that they are getting in so many drafts. I worry for Paulie, he nearly gets badly injured almost every week! So I say to all who are commenting here, YES, please donate to Pony Tales as well. Even it is only five or ten bucks a month, if enough of us concerned people do that, it adds up . I cried a bunch at today's intake, and I always say prayers for both the animals and the staff.
I love your vet, you can tell how much she cares and the fact that she still gets upset on intake days says a lot. A true animal lover never gets numb to seeing animals suffering and in pain. Thank you all for saving these poor babies and ending their suffering.
Both the vets are fantastic !!! Intake day is so hard on all the staff but the vets have the added responsibility of having to make life and death decisions. No easy task. Not for the faint hearted. They have my respect!!❤❤❤
Dr Lydia. You are incredible
@susanb8222 what does that have to do with anything I said? Lol
Perfectly said
Can’t say enough good things about Kimberley, the vet assistant. She is so devoted to the care and obviously loves the animals. Hugs to her.
I agree and I'm happy she is the vet asst.
I totally agree. She is so devoted to these babies that I hope she takes time to decompress
I love Kimberly and wish we could visit her whenever she now calls her home!💐🥰🌷🌹❤️‼️✔️🌱
This is a follow up post from me/us xoxo 😘
@@Schiffon I was just going through videos trying to see if they ever posted about Kimberly leaving haven’t found anything. I do miss seeing her in videos and was wondering what happened to her. Best wishes to her
Dr. Lydia has her heart in her hand when she pets the horses. So much care and love from all of you!
Incredible, Right?!?
I'm ashamed to say I subscribe to your channel but I cannot watch 90% of your videos because I am too weak. I can't face reality but I want to show my support for the amazing work you do. God bless you all and the horses.
I sometimes feel the same way. This just shows what a compassionate person you are. Which the world needs more of.
P.S. NEVER BE ASHAMED TO CARE AND LOVE.
You’re strong in your desire to make a difference. In the end that is what matters.
Your voice Matters Sooo Much!!!
Thankyou for CARING!!!!!! 😊❤️😊❤️
Take comfort in the fact they are well taken care of now
Please give Dr. Lidia a hug for me. Seeing her tear up like that, the girl needs a hug. I teared up with you, you were not alone. *hugs*
Me too
@@traceywoodbridge3396 When a vet cries at seeing an animal in pain, you KNOW the amount of suffering the animal is in. As she is the first vet I have ever seen do this.
@@geminidream4347 Dear Tracey. Before, there was Dr. Nancy, an outstanding vet, too! If you don´t mind scoll down 9 month ago, the episode is called "broken heart".
There you can see her, fighting hard with her emotions! She is on the title picture! Greetings, Sandra
@@sandrakarls8466 Thank you.
@@sandrakarls8466 Yes indeed, Dr Nancy was awesome as well. Horse Plus goes through some rough times but right now with both Lydia and Gina, they are really helping so many. Pray that these ladies can stay with them for as long as possible and not get burnt out. I am a human caregiver and boy oh boy I had to learn the hard way that when your emotions get the best of you, it affects your health and can lead to stress burn out.. Been there done that so pray for these wonderful people at Horse Plus, shout out to Kimberly who has come so far absorbing everything Dr. Nancy was teaching her, and now ditto with Dr's Lydia and Gina. You go girl! I don't live all that far from Horse Plus , I am in SC and would love to take a trip down to visit them and maybe do a volunteer day as well.
Dr Lydia is incredible. She is really struggling with her emotions, but maintaining her skills and experience and definitely the star of the show today. When she cries, that's it for me. Incredible Veterinarian.
I still have my Remi that I adopted from you here in California. He’s 28’ish now & still an amazing guy…. He has the kindest soul ~~ he’s a Mustang ~~ I completely believe in what you’re doing for these souls. Will be sending $$ on PayDay!! God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The laws HAVE to change. It's heartbreaking to put auctions above real, true horse rescue! THANK YOU HPHS! 21+ years of true dedication to horses (and all animals). Happy to be able to follow along and contribute in any way possible! ❤
I agree.They are true heroes.AND THE LAWS HAVE TO CHANGE!!
Not just 2 Vets. Two outstanding Veterinarians!!! ❤️🐴
It amazes me how sweet these horses are. Even after they have been so mistreated by humans, i think when they get off the trailers initially they are scared but quickly realize they will be loved. The relief is seen in their eyes.
Just being allowed to gat a drink for some of them is really amazing!
I get so angry at the heartless way peoples lack of care for these beautiful soles
I have to admit I did not like the buyout program, I thought it would be a dumping ground for horses than had to be put down, but then I had to remember that the auction was the major dumping ground. With this program they dont have to be at the auction house which is 100 percent better for them, less stress and more kindness. I was definitely wrong, thank you for doing everything you can for these animals.
It's a hard reality to face 😢 these horses are suffering and need relief
Every single person at this rescue works so hard and nothing they do is easy. My God how can any human look at these horses and just keep letting them suffer!! I sit and watch them make hard decisions and no one gets a minute to go off and Cry! They can't! There's more horses to attend to! The President of this Rescue is One Fabulous Women!! The Doctors who do this selfless Job are ANGELS HERE ON EARTH 😇🩷 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ALL OF YOU.
I know I'm going to be criticized for saying what so many in the farm world know. The large draft horses often come from the Amish farms. This horrific practice of neglect must be stopped. Just like how Tennessee Walking Horses were forced to do Soring. That has been outlawed by the Horse Protection Act. Apparently it doesn't protect horses from cruelty like neglect that causes pain and suffering. We need governments, State & Federal, to use the Animal Welfare Acts to cover horses just like all other farm animals are.
The second draft horse that came up to the vet (one that was biting) was asking Dr. Lydia to please look at him. He's hurting. It's so awful that those draft horses probably lived a life of hard work and to then be tossed like they are trash to be forgotten. Especially the one with the trach. Why put that in and just leave him to suffer. I hate to know I share space in this world with people who are so selfish and really just pure evil. The blind horses broke my heart. I'll donate as much as I can for as long as I can. I just wish I could give more. I'm so impressed with everyone on your staff and thank God for Dr. Lydia. She has a good heart.
In so many wars now going on many people don't even have to imagine, if they even make it through
Best episode ever; hoping you do this regularly for intake days. Real-time feet on the ground action, information, interventions, and felt like we were right there. Wonderful to see it up on TH-cam within hours! Reminded me of how the fast-action medical shows innovated and "brought you along" as events unfolded. Superb filming, intake process, editing and narrations. Kudos to all!
Agreed!
I'm so glad you're getting a climate controlled Vet barn!! That's so awesome! Dr. Lydia and crew are jumping for joy!
I really am glad you guys are there for the horses that need the last act of kindness. I'd like to punch the people that continue to let horses live when they're suffering so badly. It's beyond cruel. How they can even stand to look at them day after day and do nothing is just sickening. Thank you for all you do! So glad Dr. Lydia is back full time. Love learning from her.
Thank you Jason for giving me almost 90 minutes of authentic footage with your amazing, dedicated team. I felt like I was "a fly on the wall" for your intake process. Yes, it's both shocking and heart wrenching to see these beautiful equines so cruelly discarded at the end of their usefulness. I'm beyond grateful that you are there, intervening on their behalf and advocating for the systemic abuse to be stopped. At the end of many long trailer rides, these darling souls are met with loving compassion, knowledge, experience and all necessary medication to ease their pain. Thank you and bless you all. Sending much love from Melbourne, Australia xx
No words can express just how amazing all at Horse Plus are. Buy out program is wonderful. All the care and love everyone has is so well seen. No one can stop you. ❤❤❤❤
My partner and I rescued a APHA stallion in a kill pen that was 23, had his superior in western pleasure and completely blind. Well, he is now 25 this year and doing amazing! He is also being lightly ridden and he loves all the attention he is getting! The blind horses are amazing horses and once they trust you, it gets even better!
There is a woman who has adopted 2-3 blind horses from Horse Plus and says they are wonderful.
You have two of THE BEST vets on your team!!!
WHAT AM I SAYING....THE WHOLE TEAM IS AMAZING!!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly. Love and praise to you all. 💓💓💓💓💓
I agree with you.
I find it really hard to watch. On the one hand there are people who are destroying everything and on the other hand there are people who are trying to save what can be saved. Your work is very important. I have subscribed to the channel and have made a 50$ PayPal donation to support your work at least a little bit.
You have hearts of gold. 💛💛💛
Greetings from 🇩🇪
It’s so heartbreaking to watch. 😢
Your organization is awesome for all the loving care provided by everyone. It’s so hard to get horses that can’t communicate their full stories, and everything is a mystery as to how what or why they are in this poor condition. I’m thankful to Dr. Lydia for being so persistent with the big draft horse giving him a chance and planning extensive care and trying to repair him mind body and soul. Also the horse with the trach I’m a nurse and almost all my patients have trachs just needs cleaning and meds hopefully the vets can reverse course for this mare.
I’m not sure why horse plus gets such hard time from some people. They’re doing so much work for these animals with very little. Rescue work is so hard. They’ve managed to create such a great thing. Must take tireless hours.
Probably has to do with the amount of horses that don’t get seen again. Of the 55 January buy out horses only 2 of them are still around. One is available to adopt. The other just had a filly. We only know what happened to the ones they put down upon intake and Cinder. The rest we don’t have any answers on. That’s probably why people are so judgemental
Haters are going to hate, some people are just not happy 😊
@@Sweetpeaslovrrwhat are you implying happens to them?
@@jocelyndauvernay8210 Not at all. Simply trying to say some people don’t like how few horses get out of quarantine each month
@@Sweetpeaslovrr well, only two are still around who are featured. Not all the horses get featured.
The first horse with the hip injury has such a beautiful head. Gorgeous!
You guys got the best vets. I just love how Dr. Lydia does everything from her heart.....she's an amazing woman and vet. I wish there was more vets like her.
ALL the staff have hearts of gold. Dr Lydia holds her emotions fairly well, but you can tell she feels bad for these animals. I hope that Big tall draft is able to be helped, she felt a connection with him right away, how awesome it would be for the vets to fix his problems and for Dr Lydia to someday get up on him!
Thank god for you all. 🙏🏻
Tawnee, the professionalism from your beautiful vet team and horse plus staff during this intake, is just phenomenal. Hopefully the people who always find fault and can’t understand what your beautiful organisation is about, will finally stop with the negativity. The service you are providing for these unwanted and severely neglected horses, is essential.
Dr Lydia’s explanations and expertise can not be denied. She’s incredible.
She is more than incredible.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Omg, I can't guard my heart on any of the intake days. I'm always in tears watching and I'm not even there.
I feel exactly the same way 😭
Nice to see our donations hard at work. You all are truly amazing people. Thank you or everything you do for animals.
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Lydia!!! I love how she explains everything so well!
Why are horse auctions allowed to take sick injured equines? Why are owners not taken to court? In UK companies would be in deep trouble auctioning sick animals.
US is behind other countries when it comes to animal welfare, whether domestic or wild.
Why why why????? It has to stop!!!!!❤❤❤
In the USA, horses are still considered livestock. The laws need to be changed to make them companion animals. Which Horse Plus is trying to do by going to congress. But it's a hard road to get there with many obstacles. Big money (the Ranches Association, Jockey Club, and believe it or not many horse associations) is the biggest obstacle. Check out the dirty little secret of the nurse mare foals from the Jockey Club.
@@terrifender3497but why should animals considered live stock be subjected to this sort of treatment. Same laws and regulations should apply to all animals be the dogs or pigs.
@@emmakulmala2173 I agree with you 100 percent!!! The laws have to be changed, and that is what Horse Plus and other organizations are trying to do and need to be supported as best as we can. Alas, hard to fight big money..........
They do amazing work. Makes my heart hurt seeing the condition some of the horse are in. I don't understand anyone doing this to them or letting it happen and not stopping it. Thanks for taking care of them.
Fight for it right for the rights of them having to have what you have to have. Keep going girl. Be strong. Stop this from happening to horses from them being sick and lame and everything else and going through all this just to go ahead and go to the slaughter and when they're slaughtered and they are sick they should not be processed anyway to be put into dog food. Our dog shouldn't be eaten this contamination, so let's stop this. Let's make it a better world. And I'm 100% behind you and I hope you keep biting because you got the right idea. Just don't give up. Keep fighting. Stop the abuse. Stop the slaughtering please keep helping these horses and I thank all your crew that help you do this in the veterinarians. God bless you all
I gave $50.00 for the 1st trailer Thanks! Heres $20.00 more for the 2nd trailer😊
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 seeing the state of these beautiful horses..those gorgeous drafts
The Palomino at the end..my heart is on bits watching them struggle just to get off the trailer. 🇬🇧💕🙏✝️💔👏👍🐴🐎🐴🐎🐕🐎🐴🐎🐎🇺🇸
I haven't been here for awhile and I see some new faces. New to me anyway. When you have some days that aren't quite as busy, could you go around and introduce everyone and what they do here. Just a short intro. Some others might like it too that are here for the first time. Thanks. God bless each and everyone of you for the work you do and the love you have for these beautiful creatures.
So so sad. Poor babies. Thank you for trying to save everyone you can 😢🙏
Hope the team can manage time to care for themselves. Being human and knowing that humans have caused misery for these beautiful horses must be so stressful for the team members. Me, just sitting here and watching and crying sometimes too is devastating and the team is there!!! It is so lovely to hear the kind words you give. The horses do seem to know there are in a safe place now after years of not being cared for physically and mentally.
I love what you are doing for all of these horses!! Your growth and actions shows that you’re serious! Thank you!!!
What a blessing that you have 2 vets now! My admiration for all your staff for giving all the horses a safe haven. Even those who require a peaceful ending are blessed to have you❤
Thank you for all you do for these animals ❤ the people who dumped the horse with the trach tube should be ashamed. Its the same as taking a hospital patient and throwing them in the trash.
Getting banned from the auction might actually have been a good thing. You guys seem to have grown so much since and are doing even more wonderful work. If I was well enough to travel to the US, I'd be visiting you and volunteering. You do so much unbelievable good for animals.
Dr. Lydia, the tall thin veterinarian also helps out at a Elephant sanctuary in Tennessee. Till Horse Plus can get another regular veterinarian again, she's helping them out again. Im thinking the other veterinarian may become their full time vet hopefully.
Hmmm .... I guess I didn't know that. Too bad she isn't permanent bc she is goood!!!
Thank God for you all and God bless you for everything you do. 💕🐎🙏
I can't imagine how terrified those blind horses are. Poor babies. I'm glad their with ya'll now.
Their owners put them through so much unnecessary cruelty and pain lot sadness for them all Thankyou for all you do incredible kindness compassion love and light to all
I just gave $34.00, one dollar for each horse bought. That’s my challenge.
Thank you for your commitment to the unsalvageable, to make them feel loved and lessened pain before the Last Rite.
I'm so sad to see all the suffering but so happy that you amazing people save as many you can ❤️ I'm from Sweden and we have strict laws about animals, how they live, how they get transported. If you dont treat your animals right the court forbidden the owner from have animals ever again. We dont have auctions like this, there are laws about that to. I wish laws in USA change ❤️
Just thank you all for helping these beautiful creatures!!
That tracheostomy case is crazy. I'll be curious to see how that one ends up. So many drafts seem to have neglected legs. They are beautiful horses that deserve better care given how hard they are worked in life.
It's heart breaking seeing the ones that can't Sal, and the scared blind ones bless them all pure souls
It’s so sad that when they get off the trailer they see that tiny patch of grass and that’s all they want is to stop and eat it because they haven’t seen grass in so long. Thank you for letting them eat and drink once they arrive and giving them time to have that
To see how these horses are getting out of the trailer... I needet to close my eyes a few times! the black one and the Paint... oh my god! this poor souls! if they could screme, it would be unbearable!
Dr. Lydia´s voice breaking and seeing tears in her eyes, made me get teary, too!
So glad, two great vets are there!
Tawnee so glad you r sitting on side of ride also! The hate from the auction people seemed tough to handle.
Thank you guys for your strength! It can't be easy seeing these suffering souls. The anger of those who put these animals in this kind of position or worse to benefit themselves. Either for getting rid of a problem or making a few bucks!
Ya'll do a fantastic job. We have adopted from you and I truly appreciate everything you do
Almost live? That's hilarious! That poor old gray. He was stunning in his younger years. So sorry he has been so neglected. Sad.
Oh man thank you for saving the ones you can. I really love the big draft horses. Those poor horses are worked to death by the Amish. I’m sending my donation. Love what you guys do. So thankful for Bob Barker for you guys! Please donate everyone!❤️🏇
It’s so sad to see. If it helps at all, when I was an equine vet tech we worked with many Amish farms and they had some of the best kept horses and cared very much about their health, one guy that was a breeder tracked all his horses and had an end-of-life buy back clause. So… they do not ALL have this attitude. But I agree that this happens way, wayyyy too much. 😢
@@AreYouKittenMeRtNow Thank you, vancouvervixen for your comment.
Free Spirit Equestrian just bought a well trained 4 year old mare at auction that came from the Amish and she says that she's one of the best horses she's ever had. I remember seeing another youtube video years ago of a man wanting a well broke harness horse for hauling out felled trees/logs. He couldn't find one in his price range at the Amish auction so his local friend suggested getting one of the younger ones and having an Amish trainer start him. He was able to take some video of what this man was doing but couldn't show his face. The way this man trained the horse was very similar to the way I had some of my horses trained here in the western part of the states. This trainer had learned how to train horses from his father and there was no chasing, yelling or anything like that. Just getting the horse to "join up" as one trainer calls it and helping the horse to understand that his leader was the trainer. Within a week or 2 the horse was ready to hop in the trailer and head back to wherever the owner lived and continue his training with his new owner/leader.
As far as I'm concerned, painting ANY group with a broad brush divides us more that unites us.
@@AreYouKittenMeRtNow I am in total agreement with all points mentioned in this comment.
I don't know why my eyes are crying watching this video 😢💔💔💔
Hoppefuly you are here for these poor guys 👍
They are such beautiful animals... People are so cruel to allow them to suffer
I love the tall vet she is great!!and
Dr. Lydia, the vet your talking about, also help out at a Elephant Sanctuary there in Tennessee.
You know the sorrel draft horse with the tracheostomy? Imagine this, they were in a caring home, they got vet treatment, had the breathing hole put in, and then something happened to their owner like they went into a hospice and the horses were left on the homestead perhaps with a relative who couldn't care for them properly or a neighbour who only visited once a week. Owner dies and the horses end up be abandoned on the property or sent to aution after months of neglect ... some fate like that would explain the terrible over grown hooves and infected breathing hole and still the presence of the breathing hole in the first place
That's one scenario of many.
I don’t see the last act of kindness as a negative. I see it as positive, it ends suffering gives them peace and they are no longer in pain. They also don’t end up shipping and being brutally slaughtered. With the last act of kindness they get to pass with care, kindness, dignity and respect, surrounded by the love they deserve. Yes it’s sad to pass, but in times like these it is better than living.
Happy Buyout day! Thank you for helping horses
More precious lives saved from slaughter, well done guys! 💜
I can't watch this one sorry❤❤ I know you all will do what is best for everyone single horse, God bless you all❤❤❤
Oh Dr Lydia, I just wanted to hug you. It’s heartbreaking that someone could do this to such magnificent animals. Tawnee, could you hug Dr Lydia for me, seeing her cry just broke me. 😢
My reaction too… I have such respect for her, she puts her game face on and gets through but you can see how it hurts her ❤️🩹😞
It hurts ALL of them. The last thing any of them want is to have to give the last act of kindness, but without them these animals would die a horrible death.
Thank you for all you do for these precious babies
WOW thank you so much for your donation!!!
I'm so glad these poor horses get to experience being pain free and to hear soft kind voices before they have the last act of kindness. Keep up the superb work.
Love both vets. They give their all!
hi from Sweden, i think you guys do what is amazing for all horses no matter what comdition they arrive in.. my heart goes out to all of ypu❤️
Connie, you have two really great vets and they do such a great job with these horses. It’s amazing.
Her name is Tawney.
Tawnee
Everyone is entitled to a mistake. Correction with kindness is always better. She most likely misunderstood her name.
You have such a great team! Thank God you all are there to help these poor horse's. It is heart breaking to see the horrible conditions some of these babies are in! And to also know how tromatic it can be for them being past from buyer to buyer. 😢 It just breaks my heart.
Both of the vets are excellent but I love Dr Lydia she has a calming touch and she's so kind I hate how it hurts her heart but these poor babies need her thanks for the video
It breaks all of the team's hearts. But it must be very difficult for both of the vets to have to make that final decision during triage and then afterward when they've tried to fix whatever is broken and it doesn't work...
I cant imagine how they must feel to have a kind hand pet them and look out and see pasture get a drink of clean water AFTER the chaos, rough handling no water or feed... there's no way possible that coming to horse plus is anything less then a salvation for these animals.
You guys do such great things some people can just be so cruel I feel so bad for the horses 🐴 😢
Amazing team, my heart goes out to these guys 😢
Donations are also needed to feed, treat and look after all the beautiful animals
I will never get over the shape of many of these horses. I don't know how an owner could look at them everyday and not feel guilt or compassion for them. I feel bad for the vets. I don't know how they know which way to turn or which horse to help first. Such a hard job. Thank you all for the work you do.
Your cat makes me laugh 😂 bless him wanting to help 😅
It’s 12:46am Wednesday, and I’m just getting to watch you and I realize that knowing how much you help these animals has me smiling as I watch. Of course I’m sad for their condition and wonder how human beings can be so cruel. Some days the hatred and ugliness in this country is beyond depressing and to see a group of people dedicated to kindness and saving and improving the lives of all the animals is heartwarming.
That is so incredibly sad because that beautiful paint mare did not deserve that. Although thank God you got her because she won't have to take that horrible trip to the slaughterhouse.💔🐎
Horse Plus means the world to each horse.
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to these poor horses. Huge Dr Lydia fan here. She’s awesome! My dad graduated from same vet school in ‘69. Go Dawgs!❤🐾
Thank you so much Jason for these new ‘raw format’ intake videos!
That's really neat that Corey is head rescue leader I have a lot of respect for him he is a very very very very very very respectable man and I really think that he's doing an amazing job and always has from the time he started with you all it seems to be his head and his heart is in the right places when it comes to everything and he's been in some situations that are seen that are hard for him and he continually makes the best choices I'm excited to follow his journey along with everybody else's and congratulations with his engagement with that beautiful young lady❤ thank you all so much for your hard work and doing what you do and thank you for recording it so the truth can be out there of what you guys are having to do and to deal with and what you are seeing happen to these horses before you get them and needs to be out there and needs to be shown I think it's too easy for everybody to turn their backs in their heads and I think any flak you get is people that are in denial of these horses are not horribly abused and mistreated and going into a horrible Slaughter pipe line right before you get them and you're taking them out of that and God bless you for that you're doing God's work as far as I'm concerned because this isn't what animals Vermont to have to go through so good job to everybody that staring keeps a calm cool head when they're having to watch these animals come off that trailer and deal with some of the people that I'm sure you're having to deal with I just..... I don't even know how to put it into words you all are doing and outstanding job and I'm so thankful that you are blessed with two amazing vets may God watch over all of you and keep you safe
WOW... and triple WOW.... that is one heck of a run on sentence. You beat Paul, in the Bible, on that one!!
However, I do agree with what you had to say in your comment. It takes a particular kind of person to be able to handle that level of cruelty to animals and not break to pieces. Yet I know they need and do take much needed lunch breaks to get away from the stress produced from seeing such trauma.
Thank you so much for all you do! I just found your channel a few days ago and I’ve signed up for a $20 monthly-wish I could give more, but I live on a pension.
Lots of caring g people doing amazing diffiwork❤❤❤❤
Love your Horse Rescue❤
This is so sad, I have to watch this video in pieces because of the sad conditions these horses are. Keep up your crusade
My God why do people question your treatment methods and treatment of all of the horses that come thru HRP. The effort the medications and time that you invest into every animal is beyond above and beyond. You are all such genuine caring people and any improvements you make for the future is outstanding please keep up the fantastic work for those of us that watch you online and try to do whatever we can no matter how big or small. 🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺
The horse with the hip fracture- makes me wonder if he was a carriage horse that was in a wreck. His owners should have dealt with this, not send him to auction.
You guys are truly impressive with how well you handle the horses during intake. Everyone is calm and quiet, no one gets upset, and it clearly helps the horses. It truly shows how staying calm is the best way to handle horses in new environments, no matter what their condition.
Two veterinarians and an amazing tech! Plus all the other people who give their unconditional love. What a blessing for these poor souls. They so deserve the care and the peace. I always cry on intake days. Tears of sadness but also of relief. These babies will not suffer any more.
I love that you have two vets because you rescue a lot of horses
Just know your hard work.And loving care is appreciated by so many thank you
My Mom had a young Tennessee Walker in WV. He was around 2 years old. A bear got into the paddock and the horse tried to jump the coral fence to get away from it and ended up breaking its pelvic bone. My Mom got X-rays of the break and decided to try to allow him to heal. He couldn’t be trained or ridden for two years, but made a full recovery and ended up being rideable and went on to participate in some kind of competitions as a trail rider.
That's awesome!!
