- It is with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to Mistletoe. We did everything we could for Mistletoe, but he still struggled to get up and could not get up on his left side. We took Mistletoe to a specialist equine hospital to have him further evaluated. Their findings were so sad...
We would like to thank everyone who followed his journey with us, and for your support.
Donations may be made in his memory to help rescue, shelter and protect more horses like Mistletoe.

Wobblers is such a sad birth defect to be born with. People don't understand how bad Wobblers is in large breeds of dogs and horses. I'm sure his previous owners didn't have a veterinarian diagnosis, but obviously knew he had a problem. That's why they opted to get their money from his sale at auction. Thank you for trying so hard to help him. Even with all the money in the world, he would never be cured and would suffer as he grew and possibly become paralyzed. At least he got great care and good food at your place💙
I knew a doberman that had wobblers, he was such a good boy- too bad he had it 😢
G’day Horse Plus Humane Society Teams & Co ;-) So sorry Mistletoe couldn’t be helped to recovery of all his viral & neurological functions RIP.
But I must let others know that I had a thoroughbred race horse gifted to me with “Wobbles” lean gangly uncoordinated grew to quick, His spine didn’t grow allowing free movement of the spinal cord. He was 16:2 hands as a 2 yo & was fed a diet high in grains calcium and not enough magnesium..& balanced minerals.
I had the time effort research space & funds to run my own experiments.
I used Magnesium sulphate or Epsom salts, (good quality)in his feed 1 desert spoon daily & a big block 50 kg of natural minerals with all trace elements that was from a natural mineral deposit sold at Wesfarmers( white clay dirt) that all the horses could help themselves to.
The so called wobbler never did again and grew even more to be a well balanced riding horse!
If horses lick chew on bones, ant nests, termite mounds, and fences they are potentially mineral deficient and are seeking the minerals to balance out their bodies.
Also if horses are left to graze over a freshly spread super phosphate paddock that too will endure a mineral deficiency causing neurological issues, that can be overcome by balanced minerals.
I Hope this just may help someone else add information to their care basket of knowledge!
With many source blessings with truth clarity love light laughter happiness joy fun play creativity adventures abundance wisdom and may peace be with you all! Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 xoxo
@@victoriacohen3319 Thank you so much for the information. Hope it can help someone else
@@susandivirgilio4551 G’day;-) Thanks 🙏 and if helps 1 more being regain more function and a better quality of life so be it!
I personally use Epsom Salt = Magnesium Sulphate, good quality from the health food store, apx 1 teaspoon daily combined with sea salt & Himalayan salt in my food that helped repair a prolapsed disc within 6 weeks. Now it’s just part of my daily regimen.

This is good to know, even as heart wrenching as it is to hear.
So very sad for this little horse. Wonder if the owner knew about his Wobbler's disease before dumping him at the auction for him to be slaughtered. I'm glad the kill buyers didn't get him. Rest in Peace little Mistletoe. Run through the fields of heaven without all the pain you have endured.
What’s make me sad, is the fact, that his old owners have made money on him, sending him to the auction, instead of giving him the help he needed. These people are disgusting. It makes my heart ache. Thank god you are there to relieve them of the pain they have had to endure.
Thank you Horse Plus for rescuing these horses and the other animals from slaughter and the people all over that do this kind of work also, my prayers go out for all the people who rescue these poor animals.
WE WILL MISS YOU MISTLETOE, RUN FREE NOW BABY
You made the right decision to relieve his pain and suffering. RIP Mistletoe.
Thankyou Tanya for giving Mistletoe a second chance he will be sadly missed he was so sweet 💞💞💞💞 RIP Mistletoe
I know you got some grief from ignorant people, Tawny, but I and thousands of others know your heart and trust your judgment 100%.
Thank you for caring for that sweet boy. He left us feeling loved thanks to you. 💜❤️💜❤️
It’s super sad to lose this darling but I understand from the medical description that he could not be cured. RIP darling.
So sad he's just a baby but you did the right thing for Mistletoe, R.I.P. Sweetheart.
Poor Mistletoe. You gave him every chance. RIP Mistletoe
what a sweetheart. poor thing Mistletoe... 😢 we will miss you, rest in peace 🙏🏻 and thank you, Horse Plus, for rescuing him from slaughter and helping him the best you could
A draft horse cannot thrive with these kinds of physical problems. What a sad, sad loss. RIP sweet Mistletoe.
Thank you all for trying so hard. RIP Misltoe.
Rest In Peace little man. Your gentle, sweet spirit upon this earth will be missed!
Thank you for doing your best for him. He is free of pain, but I know many of you will feel the pain of his loss.
Even though is wasn’t the outcome anymore would have ever wanted I’m so glad that baby never had to endure the awful end of a horse that ends up in Mexico
No horse should live a life in pain. Doing the responsible thing was the kindest thing to do.
So very sad, he was such a beautiful little draft...RIP 😢 baby boy.
I cry more at the thought of a young, baby draft like Mistletoe all alone and going to slaughter.
I rest easier knowing he knew love and kindness for over a month.
Thank you HPHS for making the World a better place for Mistletoe....⚘️❤⚘️
Hello Rose
Wobbles is a heartbreaking death sentence. I am so sorry for the loss, but you made him happy and feel loved .
Poor Mistletoe! You worked so hard for him! Wobblers never gets better from what I understand. RIP Mistletoe. Run free and happy at the Rainbow Bridge until we see you again…..😢😢😢
now you run free in the land of ever green little one ..
thanks guys for trying and loving him.
So many tears. We all loved Mistletoe and wanted to see the best outcome. But of course, life doesn't always go the way you wish. Thank you for giving him the best possible care and making his last weeks happy and full of love. Hugs to you all.
I have a feeling that whoever dumped him at the auction knew (or had a suspicion) he had Wobblers. But they decided to make a quick buck knowing full well someone would take the cute, sickly draft colt. Whether it was a trader or kill buyer aiming to fatten him up to make even more money off of him or a rescue or private buyer thinking they could nurse him back to health. Absolutely sickening. No horse deserves that. Forever grateful for the work you guys do!
So sad, he doubled in size in a month! At least he had a month of a happy loved life
I would like to commend you, for ALL you did for this poor creature, that we all felt a deep emotional attachment to. Going above and beyond the abilities of Horse Plus by taking him to specialist. Most other organizations would not have done this. It’s obvious how much care and attention you give to those in your care. RIP Mistletoe know you were loved and cared for by some wonderful people. People who really care about the welfare and conditions of horses. Thank you HORSE PLUS for being an example for others to follow.
We've had a dog with wobblers. One passed away from his seizure activity caused by the wobblers. But he lived a wonderful 2 years with us.
Mistletoe run free on the clouds pain free. 👼🐴
As I watched him walk I kept thinking… he has Wobblers! … I know because I lost a baby to the same darn thing.
So heartbreaking 💔 he truly was special. Rest In Peace and run pain free in horsey heaven sweet boy. 😢😢😢💔💔💔💔
Very sad but the last act of kindness is the best thing to do rest in peace sweet boy thank you for rescuing him and not letting him go to slaughter
Little colt back with his mom to never part again....
My heart is breaking for little Mistletoe.
Poor little Mistletoe. He tried so hard, but couldn't overcome his defects. You did right by him. 💓🐎
He was a fighter, but he’s no longer in pain. RIP Mistletoe 😔
He had such sad eyes. RIP, Mistletoe.
You folks should be so proud of how far you bought Mistletoe! This hard decision was made with love and I can only imagine just how hard this was for all of you as so much hard work was put in to bring this horse to this greatly improved position!!
Poor guy. You did the very best for him.
RIP Mistletoe. I hope that your time at Horse Plus made the last month of your life happier, and I hope that you knew that you were loved.
You did the right thing. Bless your team for your great care.
Run free from pan sweet baby Mistletoe, you were loved 😪😪😪
You all tried so hard your absolutely right!! Unfortunately his prognosis wasn’t helpful in his situation. Being such a large breed and only going to get much larger I can’t even begin to imagine the pain and suffering he would of endured. Horse Plus you guys need to give yourselves credit here. You rescued him from the slaughter pipeline, you provided medical care, food and above all you LOVED him as did a lot of your fans. The last act of kindness in his case was exactly that.
It was kind to think of Mistletoe and not ourselves in this situation as hard as that can be. Thank-you for doing what you all do rescuing and providing care to these beautiful animals. Sometimes providing care for the animals best interest isn’t always what we want, however you stepped up when his previous owners didn’t and just wanted to get a quick buck $ by dumping him at an auction instead of doing right by Mistletoe.
Rest In Peace big guy 🌈 🐴
I fill so bad for the horse😭i am so mad because people let the horse like that and i am so sad to see the horse like that and i love horses so much and i help i can help horse to it my dream to help horse
Thank you for what you all done, no greater honour to bestow is to love and respect and showed both .
You did your best. That's all anyone can ask for. You did a good job.
You guys must be devastated but 100% that was the right decision. Poor lad how sad that he was so young at least he had a month of live and good care 💔
Maybe it was not a happy ending for us like Tawnee said, but it was, in a way, happy ending for Mistletoe - he does not suffer or struggle anymore - I'm sure he canters now on a green pastures after crossing the rainbow bridge.
Thank you all for your amazing work and stay strong
I have tears running down my cheeks. Thank you for everything you did for Mistletoe.
I love you for being so kind to thus baby and saving him from the kill buyers. Starting next month I'm signing up to make monthly donations. Thank you 😊
Hello
Imagine how hard it would be for him if he wasn’t rescued?? He had a month knowing love, kindness, proper care and just attention he would of never got. Thank you, he thanks ylu too , thank you for sharing
Some of us live many years in lots of pain
As sad as this situation is for little Mistletoe thank you for having done everything possible to save him AND for letting us know what ended up happening to him. I donate to you guys because you do what you can for the horses and not hide things from us despite how sad some horses stories end up being.
Thanks for having the courage to make the best choice and a hard choice for dear Mistletoe. Your are true angels.(Robin)
😮💨thank you for giving this precious baby the best end he could have ever had--he can now be free and he was kept from slaughter--thank you for loving him and letting him feel true love.
So sorry Mistletoe , now you can run and cavort and be forever pain free .....
The first time I heard of wobblers was with a bull mastiff dog I met.
When I researched the disease it said it was a condition found in horses too.
Seeing how it’s a genetic abnormality found in larger breeds it made sense that it was manifesting a young draft horse as he grew.
I can understand what a dire diagnosis to hear but HP put Mistletoe’s needs first.
They are strong enough to make the hard decisions. So sad but thank you.
Poor Misltoe. But you guys try. Rest peice Misletoe. You will be always in my hart Misltoe. And always miss too. You cute baby.
RIP Our dear sweet boy …..✨🌟🙏🌟✨💝
Run Free Mistletoe 🐴🥲
My heart goes out to Tawnee and her team, having to make this hard decision for Mistletoe. I have had to make this hard decision in regards to dealing with wobblers. In my experience it gets worse over time and it is very hard on the heart to see your horse's body fall apart while his mind stays healthy and alert. Thank you for the amazing work you do, and thank you for sharing it with the world.
Poor baby! Such a sweetheart and so many issues.
I am so thankful you were able to rescue him. Instead of spending his last days in misery and fear, he had a month of love and care, and got to feel well for a while before a gentle ending.
God bless you for all that you do!
Mistletoe can now run over the Rainbow bridge to heaven.
RIP Mistletoe!
You guys are wonderful for all you do!
It's sad that he had permanent issues that couldn't be fixed, but even though he couldn't live a full life, keeping him out of the hands of kill buyers is a victory. They would have loved to have a big boy like him, but instead he lived his last days in safety. Thank you for the work you do!
Oh no poor baby 🥺 at least he felt loved ❤️ thank you for all your hard work on trying to make him better
Thank you for doing everything you chould for him rest in peace! He had all the care you chould give him
So from what I understood, his neck bones grew into the nerve tract, so he would be in constant pain from that, and also it affected the messages from his brain to his feet.
And as he grows bigger, the more pain and trouble he would be in...
I would say it was the right thing to let him go, or else, he would be living in constant pain and not be able to walk. Let him go now, when he still felt fairly comfortable.
Use did the Best u could no one should go through life with pain everyday all day all night . I do n it's not fun at all . Bless u all for giving him a shot at life . Bless use n ur Family's n Friends n animals .... RIP 💌😇
Thanks to all of you for caring and for doing the very best you could for Mistletoe. He was so fortunate to know love even if briefly. Take extra good care.
I'm so sad to hear that that beautiful horse is not with you anymore. He was so cute and sweet. Knowing that he will be in pain and discomfort for the rest of his life, its good that you gave him the last dinner and act of kindness. God please look out for this baby and all the others that have been given to you. RIP mistletoe.
As hard as it is I'm glad you tried and ultimately made the right decision. Rest easy big boy and run without pain.
It is one of the toughest things an owner has to do with any animal. Thank you for your big hearts even when it is breaking. RIP
Thank you for trying to save Misletoe. As hard as it is you did what is best for this poor beautiful baby.
I was just thinking about Mistletoe the other day. Ty for sharing his story and the visit with the specialist. RIP Mistletoe♡♡♡
Oh my. So heartbreaking. Thank goodness he found his way to this amazing organization so at least in his last days he experienced love and kindness and care.
Was hoping he would make it. You all did what was best for Mistletoe you saved him and loved him for a month doing the best you could. And you did what was right for him in his care.
The best act of kindness a horse can get is love and knowing when it's time is up
properly never fed properly so sad that this could have been fixed from birth - unreal that those people are never been challenged😭😭😭😭
Its so heartbreaking, beautiful Mistletoe 😭❤️ i wish he could’ve had better odds 💔
You are doing a great job on save ing the horse and you all you are doing a great job on the horse s Nannette
I couldn’t help but she’d a tear for this gorgeous animal. Run fast and run free Mistletoe ❤️😢🐎🌈
We hate to see them go but we know Mistletoe is healed and happy across the Bridge.
Aww poor baby made me cry this one. Bless him. Its so sad
Thank you for your kindness. Crying.....
Thank you for making Mistletoe’s last month so full of love and care! I appreciate you taking the camera along to see some of the excellent exam/diagnostics, an interesting if tragic constellation of issues. He had poor luck, his body was set up for pain and suffering… but he was lucky to be rescued by you.
At least you can say you did everything for him and tried your hearts out you gave him the best life while you could and that's more than you could have done
I RESPECT and UNDERSTAND your choice. Love to you ALL
Thank you for going above and beyond the average to care for Mistletoe. You’re all very thoughtful and kind.
Thank you for making his last weeks on Earth calm and loving, he was being well looked after. You did everything you could for him. RIP Mistletoe
Hi Trudy
Oh no, this is heartbreaking, poor little guy. Thank you for making his last month a truly loving one, we all know how much you loved this boy. My heart goes out to you all, it’s hard enough for us, I can’t imagine the loss you must all feel. I’m sending love to Cory, he showed Mistletoe so much compassion, I think this baby boy stole his heart. I’m so sorry for you all, you did your absolute best for this baby and mistletoe knew it.
Big hugs. 🙏🏻❤️🌈
Rest in Peace Mistletoe, go run thru the rainbow bridge, play with others. You are free from the pain now. Run Mistletoe Run
Bless you all for doing all you could for sweet Mistletoe. He knew love and care in you loving hands, right to the end.
Run free, Mistletoe! 🌈 You take a lot of love with you.

Lori

You guys give these animals a loving sometimes final resting place
Oh that’s so sad but you’ve done what has to be done…hard as it was.
Thank you for showing us the sad endings, as well as the happy. Life is not always fair. At least he had some love and a peaceful ending.
Rest easy baby.
Heart broken 💔 🙏 Mistletoe
