I am 69 a handicap myself. I had horses and everything else that went with a small farm. The big black stud liked just like my Mike Je was 16 and 1/2 hands high I am 5 1/2 ft. We made a great pair. I miss being on the farm. Everything about it I mean everything God bless you and your work .give all of the babies you rescue a kiss and a hug from me please
Keep in mind these horses had barely, if ever, been handled. The Stallions had been in their stalls their entire lives and the team of volunteers had to get them out that day. I thought they did an excellent job considering all of the circumstances. People had to stay safe as well. I’m totally impressed with their efforts. It’s easy to sit back and criticize from the sidelines. Everyone was doing their very best for these horses and the elderly gentleman.
It is a pleasure to admire the selfless people who take their time and effort to help horses, off-setting persons like myself who always primarily took time with them for personal pleasure and satisfaction, and often profited as opposed to sacrificing for these magnificent animals.
Have these horses been let out to pasture? The video answered my question. I bet that the man that turned them over to you was so thankful that you were able to take them . He loves them very much. I applaud him for what he did. Thanks for all you do ❤
Please be knowledgeable about your comments. The horses were never “whipped”. Flags were used to encourage them to move forward - that is a basic horsemanship tool. The tapping on the older mate was just that. A tap to encourage her to move into the trailer. Once she made the correct response all pressure was taken off. Pretty basic stuff. Would it have been better to leave her there with that abscess and continue to suffer? You are all up in arms about some taps, but never mind the help and care that was ultimately given to the horses and the elderly man.
I think you people did a very good job saving those poor horses. of course I thought 'o what are they doing with that whip?' but then I realized that it was just a little encouragement to get her in the trailer. and indeed you took the pressure off when she started moving. Very good! the plastic bag is a very gentle way of letting the horse know what you want. This compared to the way racehorses are beaten at the racetrack is a very very gentle and respectful way to handle a horse and tell it to move on. I guess what's shown here this is the other side of the glorious medal of the 'Sport of the Kings'. thank you for sharing.
Excellent job, getting those horses loaded without humans or animals getting injured. Poor old man, at least he is doing the right thing, many selfish people hold on to the horses, and they need to consider what's best for the animal.. Too bad about the chestnut stallion, but obviously his adrenaline from being confined and all the excitement made him not seem lame, but apparently something was too extreme, probably laminitis..
If you ask for help before it gets where your horses are hungry they will help you. I did they didn't take them away and they helped me get hay until I could get back on my feet. They have resorses and will work with you. When people wait to long then there going to proctet the animals.
I have thoroughbred rescue mare tattooed pedigree from the jockey club 15 years old. Has all the legends bold ruler, northern dancer, buck passer, cigar, seattle slew, slew of gold, storm cat, general assemble, hall of fame mare Busanda, and strongest in her pedigree is Secretariat on top and bottom. I want to place her in a rescue program.or individual who has compassion, a place suitable and is knowledgeable of horses. I rescued her skinny and from a lot of horses headed to slaughter. I don't know anything about her past once she left the breeder. I don't have a place big enough for her to run.
Not to be rude or anything but i dont think that would be a good idea. These horses are probably weak and mentally ill. You would also need to break it in and train it which can take months.
Please follow Sound Equine Options for updates. They just posted today that two of the horses were adopted as companion horses due to arthritis. They now have a forever home and look wonderful.
ginger cox the chestnut was examined by a vet and had a pretty serious old injury. Perhaps because he had so much adrenaline pumping through him when the video was taken he didn’t look as lame as he was.
It is still shameful that he was put down. Injuries can be managed and I can guarantee that it was a perfectly manageable track injury. Even vets don't have a full understanding of some treatments and some options may not seem practical but truly are especially since that horse was probably of high value.
@@-Beidou- sometimes the recovery of the injury is painful and uncomfortable for the horse that makes it not worth it to be treated as the pain might have been too much
@@-Beidou- He was too far gone, life isn't worth living when you are suffering all the time in lots of pain. Horses are prey animals and hide injuries for survival. Unless you have examined this horse personally please refrain from making ignorant comments
I have been around racehorses all my life and the horse didn't appear lame or seriously injured to me either. It would help immensely if you would give us an actual description of the "old injury" this animal suffered from instead of a vague explanation.
I wouldn’t call this a rescue - just because the horses are unhandled and therefore nervous around people doesn’t mean that they were abused! They are all in good weight etc. I understand the the owner is old and as he said it has to be done but i wouldn’t exactly call it a rescue.
Thatbaymare well, whatever. SEO was really great to step up and help this man out. He was very grateful. You are correct in that he was doing the best he could given his health issues. The fact is however all the Stallions (and there were more from what is shown here) were in their stalls their entire life. I’d say they were rescued.
Why in the hell would that chestnut stallion have to be put down!?? That's insane! He was running all over the place! So...obviously he didn't have a severe life threatening leg injury, if he didn't even have so much as a limp! What bs!
Joy Ault after all that was done to help the horses and the elderly gentleman that’s all you can say? A few taps to encourage the mare (who had barely been handled and never been in a trailer) is not “hitting”. Take a closer look, or not, but you are off the mark on your remark.
Oh please. Basic technique tapping it on the rear to get it moving...it's not like they were beating it! Good grief. They are large animals and that didn't hurt them at all...it simply gets their attention and gets them where they need to go. I wouldn't even have a problem being tapped at that same pressure, and I'm a hundred pounds!
This is totally not a abuse case... just a sweet old TB breeder having to surrender his horses. It's what all good horsemen/women fear... growing old and not being able to care properly for our horses. Also they are not being whipped however since it was not a dangerous case I wish they had been given time to calmly load. Also that is STUPID that the stallion was put down. He is a beautiful horse and though injured he was is near perfect condition. Glossy coat and excellent weight. He looked like a tiny bit of rehab was all he needed. So sure... keep skeleton horses alive no matter how much pain/difficulty they are in but euthanize a horse I or anyone else with a eye for horses would have paid 100,000 to get. Beautifully bred animal. It's a shame. But otherwise you did a decent job.
So many reasons. For one The life of a Stallion is pretty lonely one. Notice all these Stallions are locked up in their stalls. Think about why that is.
Stallions are incredibly hard to handle, and they can't be left out in the pasture or a stall anywhere near other horses because the only thing they would want to do is give into their instinct to breed mares and fight other horses to keep their mares. Geldings (castrated horses), on the other hand, are much softer, ridable, and easier to adopt out since very few people are actually qualified/knowledgable enough to handle stallions safely/properly. The procedure is widely used, very safe, and they hardly feel a thing after sedation and pain meds ;) Plus, it means there will no longer be a risk that these horses will be contributing to overpopulation in their future homes.
That is NOT WHIPPING!!! that is basic horsemanship...tapping on the rear to encourage movement. That amount of pressure wouldn't have hurt a human...much less a 1200 pound animal! There are plenty of real abuse cases out there...this isn't it!
Hope you can understand that his is tap, tap, tap, not whipping. Tapping lightly encourages to horse move away from the annoying tapping. Very basic horse training. Once the horse moves, then the tapping stops, this is the reward to the horse.

These horses, was about as adjusted to humans, as those wildhorses cooped up for a while.
They are used to being fed, but not handled.

Thank you for doing what it took to get these horses to a safe place.
I love this sounds and miss it! Every time my husband get me around horses I’m gone I can spend hours with them🥰
I want to thank all poeple that help these animals💜
Thank you for helping the elderly man with rescuing his horses. I think you did a great job with the horses. ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I loved watching the stallions weighing their options and placing bets on a new life!

Too bad about the chestnut stallion, but obviously his adrenaline from being confined and all the excitement made him not seem lame, but apparently something was too extreme, probably laminitis..
As I recall the chestnut stallion also had an old hock injury that had never been properly treated.

I wander... Who's gonna rescue the ol man? 😢
wish i could have one of them,love horses
Not to be rude or anything but i dont think that would be a good idea. These horses are probably weak and mentally ill. You would also need to break it in and train it which can take months.
For unhandled horses ,their feet seemed to be in pretty good shape.
Poor babies 😭 they were just scared they need some one build trust and build bond with them
I watched this don't be cruel don't hit them being mean doesn't have to happen be kind and caring get the best response.
Please go watch a video on how to load a horse when its not trained
Always the untrained have ideas!! Think you could have done better? I know not!
You do a good job.
WHO IS GONNA RESCUE THE OL MAN???😮
May god bless u all.
Magnifique!!!
What’s going to happen to the rest of the horses on the property???
Please follow Sound Equine Options for updates. They just posted today that two of the horses were adopted as companion horses due to arthritis. They now have a forever home and look wonderful.
this is real thoroughbred?
When loading the horses they are shouting and not letting the horse slowing go in on its own. The people are just terrifying them
The stallion didn't seem lame...

6:45 that ain't cruel it's cruel to bang the door of the trailer against the horses like people do at live stock auctions so please chilllll
Why in the hell would that chestnut stallion have to be put down!?? That's insane! He was running all over the place! So...obviously he didn't have a severe life threatening leg injury, if he didn't even have so much as a limp! What bs!
It cost to much for the cheap basterds
I also rescue 2 race horse thought bred from race course but have many unlucky but no one care and I not reach to save all or bane race.
STOP hitting that horse! jfc

If you read their comment you’ll see that these horses have lived in those stalls their whole lives…
I hope you got those horses for free, because the old man didn't deserve a dollar. He should get 6 months or more in jail, for neglect.
Hitting horses with a stick...and yelling around horses who are already scared...this is NOT pleasant to watch.
That's the answer at stand there hitting her absolutely file there are better ways much better ways
Castration sound cruel to these horses. I hope you have a good reasoning on why this was done.
