So did I! As an avid equine enthusiast, it's like saving human lives. These beings are so majestic and special. I can't fathom how anyone would want to contribute to the pain and death of any one of them. I have volunteered with a horse rescue for half my life and I know what everyone goes through when they are trying to rescue a horse and the elation one feels when the horse is on rescue property. It really hit home when they were donated $20,000. What a beautiful gift those horses will get. I
When God created human beings he created the worst. We are the only living things that love cruelty, torture and suffering. What on earth did God make us for. I just don't understand why he can't intervene. Hopefully all animals go to a better place. ❤️❤️❤️💜
My dad was a kill buyer as his daughter i could tell him not to but I couldn't stop him. I remember when my personal horses got sick he'd send them to slaughter even if it was something easy to fix. When I was 12 I started buying and training my own horses so then it was my money my horses he couldn't touch and now that I'm 20 I'm trying to start up a rescue..... however so many people think its a scam and what not. I will get something started and thats my goal so I can save those horses that deserve a life better than what they already had.
You saw your fathers mistakes and vowed not to make those yourself. Instead you try to do something good for horses. Thank you so much. :) How does your dad feel about your plans?
Wow, selling a twelve-year-old's pets to slaughter, how disgusting of a father can you be? Thank you so much for being one of the good ones and helping the ones that need it!
@@Elisaatje601 He doesn't really speak to me anymore. A year ago I was still living with my parents and I bought a bareback bronc horse to train and start a better life for and my dads comment was bronc horses are like gold..... they most of the time end up in slaughter houses because people misunderstand what actually is happening to those "wild" horses. They aren't wild at all they are just scared and hurting. You wouldn't need a flank strap if it was truly wild. But I bought that horse because he had sores places i couldn't believe and he is beautiful. He's a mix of colors. He is a dun because he has a dorsal strip down his back but he is roany too with blue eyes. Hancock lines on his papers. He is now my best friend. I can ride him and do whatever but no one else can even touch him. My dad got mad that I proved him wrong.
I saved a horse just recently from both physical and mental neglect. I ask myself why do people torment such beautiful animals? Why? I will fight for my new friend “Storm” and fill him with so much love and attention. Gods is good for bringing him into my life. Thank you God !
@@rebeccaluvshorses ads are how youtubers get paid. It usually requires the viewer to watch 30 seconds minimum. There are algorithms that track all of it.
@@rebeccaluvshorses yes,that’s why many TH-camrs have ads in their videos it’s extra money. You know why some TH-camrs go crazy adding adds to their videos..
@@suziepeaches321 She's hilarious. She has these moods sometimes (since she's a mare) that are sometimes a little nasty depending on how fresh she is. When she was younger when my trainer was training her, she was a terrible horse. She would take off, run whoever's on her back into the wall, sit down while getting bridled or run away, etc.. She doesn't do all that now, but she still has her moments.
When I was a kid we were at a action and my dad saw this colt that was being bid on by a kill buyer and he couldn't have that so he bought him. We really struggled that month but we saved that horse! We had him for years and did 4-H with him. He was a wonderful friend.
Bless you all, I can't thank you all enough you truly are these horses angels. I wish I had lots of money and could help but I'm not that fortunate but I will be donating any spare money I have to save these sweethearts.
This makes me cry, I just can’t imagine how scared those horses were, pain, and no one caring about how they feel until you came and treated them like they matter.
What an attitude, hitting a girl. What next, gonna hit everybody who is bidding against you? Everybody has a right to bid. You have to realy have a rotten hart to do such a thing. Shame on you!
I just don’t understand why there’s no regulations and guidelines on animals welfare, for these auctions to go by. And letting these horses suffer, it’s totally wrong on so many levels, for personal gain. People need to stop buy horse/ other animals that they can’t afford or don’t give a sh@t, so they stop ending up like this. They not just for Christmas
Watching Tawnee in this video breaks me. Her eyes looking into those beautiful horses eyes is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Bless you and yours Tawnee
Just donated $5, I know it's hardly anything but I hope it can help contribute to one last horse who you might just not have enough for... You guys are true heroes. You do so much for this world, I love and appreciate you so much.
Every dollar counts..If everyone gave a buck.it adds up.At store they have cans forspca. I don't feelbad if I can only put in50 cents ..it all adds up.Youre awesome
Tawnee, I watched this video three years after you made it. Horse Plus has grown and evolved sooo much since then! The goal remains constant; also the deep emotions. You, Jason and all of your people are astoundingly unselfish, tireless and bottomless givers. Love to you and every horse you help as well as those you couldn't. 🐴💓💓💓🐴
Oh my, I cried when you received the extra donation money, and then I cried more when I saw how many horses your team saved because of those donations. Thank you ALL for all the hard work you all did. i'm involved with animal rescue and I've seen a lot, but I know I could never be as strong as those of you that rescue horses at auction. You have huge hearts, strong hands and determined minds and you save so many lives together. Thank you for doing all you could to save the ones you could and I pray for those that weren't as fortunate. LOVE and peace to those who love and care for these animals!!!
They got scammed. Horses that thin don't go to slaughter. If you encounter horses that malnourished, you don't give the owner a ton of money, you involve animal control. They confiscate them and the owner can be fined for animal cruelty. The scam gut supported by giving those crooks money for these horses.
@@petrairene did they not save n home n have the vet we see treating them? Cuz it is heartbreaking. If no thin horses go to slaughter. Where do they go. Owners? Who knows where theyve been or how many auctions? Yr saying all the vids they r not removing them from the truck?
Horse plus you are Amazing and wonderful people with HUDGE Hearts pray you keep getting as many horses you can as long as you can to save thier broken spirits in thier conditions 💞
I rescued a horse from slaughter, he was absolutely amazing, ex bronc horse that was injured and couldn’t buck anymore I was so blessed to be able to give him a home
Love that you took a moment to highlight those kid's work in presenting the horses. Too many rescues come in with a "holier than thou" attitude and those boys will remember you.
My friend has a horse named sunny he is 29 years old she lets me ride him for exercise guys please keep your old horses and spend the rest of the time together
At a stable I used to ride at, the owner would buy horses off the race track and train them to find them new owners. 3 times a year at least she also hosted show events (jumping, dressage’s showing etc) At one of these events one of the horses I’d help train was there and looked so skinny, and ended up collapsing at one of the events. It was devastating. Especially since just a few months back he’d been healthy. A friend of mines father, who had 3 rescue horses of his own (one of which I used ride for them so she could be exercised) He went to the woman who owned that horse and bought him on the spot, and that horse now still belongs to him and is doing so much better all these years later. Such a wonderful family.
I rode an Arabian for years. I loved that horse like he was my own. The riding instructor I had at the time had a deal with a leaser on sharing the riding responsibilities. He was headstrong, stubborn and just one of the most spirited horses that I ever rode. Years later when I was at a new stable I went to compete at a show. I saw him again (he had unique markings, and the owner confirmed that it was him). I was utterly devastated, he was thin, and there was a broken look in his eyes. The owner proudly bragged that he was trained to jump by my instructor which I knew wasn’t true (he would stop dead at fences), and she bragged she had a purebred horse. She got into the arena and hit him hard with the crop to get him around. He hit every jump in a hunter’s class and I could tell she was angry with him. It broke my heart, especially since I was riding an old Appaloosa in the class and was looked at in disgust because the mare literally could stand at line up with the reins at the buckle.
@@psychopassifist The worst part is that my new instructor explained that most Arabians can’t jump. It’s something in their build that makes them unable to clear a fence properly. She told me this after I told her what I saw with the horse. She hated the stable in the first place, because they judged unfairly with the purebred horses getting the top prizes. After what I said she never talked about it again.
@@SaraNightfire1 they originally come from desert environments. They were bred to run through flat, desert sands, not to jump. They're built for stamina and speed. People look at the purebred mark and ignore everything else. It sucks. Anglo arabs/ Arabian thoroughbreds can sometimes jump, because of the English thoroughbred in them. But even then there's a lot of other breeds better suited to it.
for all the Sient Beings that didnt make it .may you never be forgotten you loved your friends that were tortured with you,thankyou to horse plus from Australia
I have been riding in competition eventing (english) since I was 8. I recently watched a movie on TH-cam called "Earthlings" (it's a free and full length documentary) that EVERY American, Canadian and Mexican at least should be shown in High School. I landed on this video because I just watched a video about what happens behind the scenes of horse slaughterhouses. I don't know what's worse, the extrwme abuse they go through before they get to that final destination, or what happens while they are there. I literally cannot thank these rescue organizations enough. They are saving so many lives. I have subscribed with notifications and look forward to seeing the future of these animals. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world
If everyone who likes this video just donated $20 it would be over $190K, think how much if we all donated as much as possible! Thank you everyone who donated and to these incredible humans that do the hard work and put in all their heart ❤️
While working at a rescue, I went to many auctions and tried to buy as many horses I could. It was very scary, especially with the people who wanted to buy the horses I managed getting. They would get physical and it was a scary job. But nethertheless, I loved helping the horses and growing bonds with them. It took awhile but it was worth every minute. But I did have to leave due to problems. Seeing this makes my heart happy but sad at the same time. Horses have such wide personalitys, and when I worked at the rescue I sometimes forgot that I was hanging out with horses and not humans. It may be weird but I truly felt that. They are beautiful creatures and they do not deserved to be slaughtered or abused. This just really hit my heart and brought back memories, good and bad. Thank you!
God bless these beautiful babies and each everyone of you for saving them all or what you can save ! Judgment day will come to those who harm theses horses soon enough , it's just not as soon as we want it to be . May God bless them all in this cold world today .
I love horses they are my ever favourite animal since I was a little girl I train horses which are badly treated by humans you guys are doing a great job of safeing the horses ❤️
YOU GUYS ARE ROCKSTARS❤❤❤❤❤ this made me cry, those poor babies were so scared, breaks my heart to see these noble creatures treated that way. The history of horses made the world go round they deserve better ...thank you for all you do❤❤❤ I hope the girl who was hit is doing better , people are just evil animals to me are the best people❤❤🐕🐎🐩🐎🐩🐎🐩
When she was speaking of the slaughter trucks, trust me, I know the feeling. When I was little my parents would take me to the auctions to try and rescue as many as we could, and after I loved on all the ones we rescued I would run to my room and sob and drop dried rose petals in memory of all the animals that were lost, but not forgotten.
We got a rescue horse. His name is Blue Jeans. He was rescued at a kill pen with some others. He’s a beautiful flea bitten gray Arabian. I love him with all my heart. Thank you for what you do.❤️
@@c_turfgrass7773 true, and I actually don't get why horse meat is banned in the states because the same people saying no to horse meat are the same ones eating pigs and cows, if it's the conditions of the slaughterhouse then fight for all the animals in those conditions.
@@TuberoseKisser I think it's banned because horses aren't cattle. They have been serving humans for thousands of years, while cows and pigs were used as food. Because of this, the horses have been seen as workers and friends, while the other animals were seen as farm animals. This doesn't mean that horse meat isn't an option, people just have a different view on horses and their use.
@@TuberoseKisser Most people (in western nations) see horses on the same species level as dogs and cats. They would never eat a dogs or cat meat. Horses are seen the same way they are a companion animal, not a livestock animal. Even though cows and pigs can be just as much a companion animal, most just dont see them that way.
I will never understand how someone could be so heartless and cruel to horses! All horses deserve a beautiful and great life filled with love! Thank you Horse Plus for all you do!
You're all absolute angels. From my horse and I in England, a massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts. How people ever see this as a suitable end for them I'll never understand xxx
Thank you for all you do! It’s so disgusting that sick angry people make it that way! For you guys and the poor horses and donkeys! Thank you for saving the ones you do save! Y’all are my hero’s!
I just saw your video, when you said we will take them all. I started to cry, thank you. I have a rescue from the slaughter lot. I believe he knows he was saved. God bless
I rarely comment on TH-cam but you guys are fantastic. I adopted a horse from an animal welfare and he is the sweetest horse I have ever encountered. People think horses that come from a bad background are “damaged” but in reality they end up being the strongest and kindest animals. They know what it’s like to have a hard life and when they get a second chance they try to show their gratification every day. Well done guys and keep up the great work. Love of love Anne and Martin the horse xx
ALL of you rescuers are beyond awesome!!!!! Without you all these horses would never have had a chance. They are beautiful animals and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I'm a big horse lover and wish I could help and go on rescues to help them. All animals are worth saving. They deserve a chance if possible. These auctions are horrible because they often end up in situations they shouldn't be in. Bless all of you for what you do!
I just found this Video and seeing this big donation Set me back in Time... I remembered my best friend who committed suicide cause of private reasons. She donated all she had to a rescue organisation like ur just before to save lives when she couldn't save herself. Her memory will always live within rescuing to me and watching ur videos just makes me go down in tears again cause it is so magical to be reminded of such an amazing person through the pictures of saving lives. In our hardest times it's mostly pets and beloved animals that get us up again. I just wanted to share my thoughts with this video. To whoever read it :u can make a change dont let people tell u different and pls know u are valid and loved
This is the first live auction that I have watched...I know people that work these are desensitized but watching them walk on them and jump off like they are a toy is ridiculous. I appreciate all that these group does and to put yourselves through watching this every month has to be excruciating....God bless u all
You guys are real hero’s it makes my heart so sad when I see horses so skinny one you can only see their bones and then people like you come in to rescue them or as much as you can thank
My heart breaks for the horses or any animals that end up in Auction. Humans need to be kinder to the animals on this planet. I don't know why we mistreat them. I am so thankful for people like you. Hopefully one day I can become rich so I can do this and donate loads of money to rescue groups like you guys. You are amazing.
My heart goes out to these amazing creatures and the hell that they are put thru. I donate almost every month and always wish it could be more. Horse Plus deserves it.
im not crying you're crying... This breaks my heart. If I could even rescue one of these horses I would but it would kill me even choosing one... then I'd cry about all the other horses that weren't picked. Damn..
God Bless you for saving these beautiful horses, growing up with horses most of my life, i know how expensive they can be. I wish i could work doing what you do. Saving these beautiful creatures. At 60yrs. Old i would still do that if i had the opportunity. I know its heart breaking seeing such neglected & abused horses. It would be well worth being there if i could save them.
Good. God. This video broke my heart. I adore horses and I just love that y’all are rescuing so many of these gorgeous creatures! May God’s light shine upon you. I’ll be donating.
I am a 16 year old girl who has been in love with horses my whole life. I have been riding for 4-5 years now, we have not been able to buy a horse because of budget and no place to put it. So I just took lessons and rode the horses there. I'm planning on buying a horse of my own when I can, my horses I want to be an auction horses now! ❤️ You guys are awesome! Keep it up! 😇
I was in the same boat as I was growing up. I got my first horse at 26 & have had them since. They’re expensive. But it’s so worth the sacrifice. Hang in there. Keep riding. Lease a horse if you can. YOU CAN DO IT. You WILL fulfill your dream!!! I promise!!
So happy to see you doing this great work. I was raised on a farm and we had all types of animals. One thing I was taught at an early age was don't sell to just anyone. My father wouldn't sell to people that did a lot of selling, trading and livestock markets. As a result I have always had a special place in my heart for the welfare of animals. Living near Louisville Kentucky I have donated and try and help those places that help race horses that are no longer viable. My favorite organization is Old Friends Farm in Georgetown Kentucky that takes in retired horses. Many are former stakes and Derby winners that have slipped through the system. Keep up the good work and may God bless you in all your endeavors.🙏🐎🐴
What you did and have done is amazing, I was in tears watching this. It reminded me of the horse auctions I use to go to years ago. So many......I am in hopes I’ll be able to donate to your organization soon. Blessings to you and your crew. ❤️
I cried when she said “so you’re able to buy 20 more horses than you originally could”
I’m crying rn as I watch!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I landed on this video because I just watched a video about what happens behind the scenes of horse slaughterhouses.
I don't know what's worse, the extrwme abuse they go through before they get to that final destination, or what happens while they are there.
I literally cannot thank these rescue organizations enough. They are saving so many lives. I have subscribed with notifications and look forward to seeing the future of these animals. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world
If everyone who likes this video just donated $20 it would be over $190K, think how much if we all donated as much as possible! Thank you everyone who donated and to these incredible humans that do the hard work and put in all their heart ❤️
May God Bless You for saving those precious baby's ❤️
I almost cried when they were told that they could save twenty more horses, that is amazing!❤️
It breaks my heart to see all those horses that just need love and a good home. I WANT TO RESCUE EVERY ONE
While working at a rescue, I went to many auctions and tried to buy as many horses I could. It was very scary, especially with the people who wanted to buy the horses I managed getting. They would get physical and it was a scary job. But nethertheless, I loved helping the horses and growing bonds with them. It took awhile but it was worth every minute. But I did have to leave due to problems. Seeing this makes my heart happy but sad at the same time. Horses have such wide personalitys, and when I worked at the rescue I sometimes forgot that I was hanging out with horses and not humans. It may be weird but I truly felt that. They are beautiful creatures and they do not deserved to be slaughtered or abused. This just really hit my heart and brought back memories, good and bad. Thank you!
God bless these beautiful babies and each everyone of you for saving them all or what you can save !
Judgment day will come to those who harm theses horses soon enough , it's just not as soon as we want it to be .
May God bless them all in this cold world today .
The people who do this to the poor horses have a special chair in hell for them
@Dstroke too slow. They're going by supersonic jet
I think they are already in their own person hell or else they would not do this. I pray they find a way back to the light.
agreed it makes me sick i tear just talking about it
I hope these slaughter auctions become illegal.
Especially the guy who hit the volunteer. He gets and extra hot seat
I love horses they are my ever favourite animal since I was a little girl I train horses which are badly treated by humans you guys are doing a great job of safeing the horses ❤️
YOU GUYS ARE ROCKSTARS❤❤❤❤❤ this made me cry, those poor babies were so scared, breaks my heart to see these noble creatures treated that way. The history of horses made the world go round they deserve better ...thank you for all you do❤❤❤ I hope the girl who was hit is doing better , people are just evil animals to me are the best people❤❤🐕🐎🐩🐎🐩🐎🐩
Agree with you 100%
I thank God for you guys, blessings on what your doing for the horse spirit and health.
When she was speaking of the slaughter trucks, trust me, I know the feeling. When I was little my parents would take me to the auctions to try and rescue as many as we could, and after I loved on all the ones we rescued I would run to my room and sob and drop dried rose petals in memory of all the animals that were lost, but not forgotten.
God bless you and the very special arduous work you do for these precious horses.
We got a rescue horse. His name is Blue Jeans. He was rescued at a kill pen with some others. He’s a beautiful flea bitten gray Arabian. I love him with all my heart. Thank you for what you do.❤️
Love you all especially the doc. He is the most adorable man ever!!!!!!!!!!
People need to stop breeding horses, shelters can't afford to care for them and they get abandoned or sold to slaughter.
Dogs have to eat too
@@c_turfgrass7773 true, and I actually don't get why horse meat is banned in the states because the same people saying no to horse meat are the same ones eating pigs and cows, if it's the conditions of the slaughterhouse then fight for all the animals in those conditions.
@@TuberoseKisser I think it's banned because horses aren't cattle. They have been serving humans for thousands of years, while cows and pigs were used as food. Because of this, the horses have been seen as workers and friends, while the other animals were seen as farm animals. This doesn't mean that horse meat isn't an option, people just have a different view on horses and their use.
More so they need to leave "wild" horses wild if they die in the wild that's nature.
@@TuberoseKisser Most people (in western nations) see horses on the same species level as dogs and cats. They would never eat a dogs or cat meat. Horses are seen the same way they are a companion animal, not a livestock animal.
Even though cows and pigs can be just as much a companion animal, most just dont see them that way.
You guys are all Angel's 💖
I hope the 1 gal is ok!! Some people's children have no manners!!
I will never understand how someone could be so heartless and cruel to horses! All horses deserve a beautiful and great life filled with love! Thank you Horse Plus for all you do!
You are all earthbound angels. I cried thru this whole video. It hurts my heart that this goes on at all. It shouldn't ever!
You're all absolute angels. From my horse and I in England, a massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts. How people ever see this as a suitable end for them I'll never understand xxx
Thank you for all you do! It’s so disgusting that sick angry people make it that way! For you guys and the poor horses and donkeys! Thank you for saving the ones you do save! Y’all are my hero’s!
I just saw your video, when you said we will take them all. I started to cry, thank you. I have a rescue from the slaughter lot. I believe he knows he was saved. God bless
Thank you, for all, I mean all you do !!!!!!!!!!
I hope all of these horses will go to loveing homes!
You guyscare wonderful human beings!😍🐴🐎Love horses so unfair how they get treated.
This is the first YT video that made me cry. So heart wrenching. Thank you for what you do.
I rarely comment on TH-cam but you guys are fantastic. I adopted a horse from an animal welfare and he is the sweetest horse I have ever encountered. People think horses that come from a bad background are “damaged” but in reality they end up being the strongest and kindest animals. They know what it’s like to have a hard life and when they get a second chance they try to show their gratification every day. Well done guys and keep up the great work. Love of love Anne and Martin the horse xx
I hope to one day rescue horses in bigger numbers like you guys do💜🐴 God bless you all💙❤💜🐴
I'm glad you finally got to film the auction process. I know that they DO NOT allow anyone to even take pictures at the auctions near me.
If I was in a position to give , I would. Bless the organization who donated the big money. Thank you for saving them.
This is exactly what I want to do with me life! I've always wanted to have a horse rescue and rehabilitation center!
How can anyone be a kill buyer for such an animal. But hats off that they offered you the horses.
Bless you. This is why no matter what, if it’s at all possible, keep your horse
I pray that my tiny donation is able to help feed a precious rescue of yours. God bless you🙂
That is absolutely incredible how many horses you saved. It is devastating how many end up at auction with kill buyers. It makes me so sad
Because of Heartland and Amber so many horses have survived. Horses built America. Let's not forget that.
You guys are real angel's. Thanks for saving them 🙏🏻 I'm crying 😭
The actions are just horrifying😔. It’s such a evil world. Thank goodness for this rescue group. We all have to all share this site.
You people are extremely amazing!!!! I’m hoping to save a horse from the slaughter this year for my birthday!!!
Omg what is wrong with us humans, the suffering is beyond belief, bless you and you team you truly make the world a better place ❤️
ALL of you rescuers are beyond awesome!!!!! Without you all these horses would never have had a chance. They are beautiful animals and deserve to be treated with love and respect. I'm a big horse lover and wish I could help and go on rescues to help them. All animals are worth saving. They deserve a chance if possible. These auctions are horrible because they often end up in situations they shouldn't be in. Bless all of you for what you do!
I just found this Video and seeing this big donation Set me back in Time... I remembered my best friend who committed suicide cause of private reasons. She donated all she had to a rescue organisation like ur just before to save lives when she couldn't save herself. Her memory will always live within rescuing to me and watching ur videos just makes me go down in tears again cause it is so magical to be reminded of such an amazing person through the pictures of saving lives. In our hardest times it's mostly pets and beloved animals that get us up again. I just wanted to share my thoughts with this video. To whoever read it :u can make a change dont let people tell u different and pls know u are valid and loved
This is the first live auction that I have watched...I know people that work these are desensitized but watching them walk on them and jump off like they are a toy is ridiculous. I appreciate all that these group does and to put yourselves through watching this every month has to be excruciating....God bless u all
You guys are real hero’s it makes my heart so sad when I see horses so skinny one you can only see their bones and then people like you come in to rescue them or as much as you can thank
I am so thankful for all that were saved. But my heart is grieving for the ones that couldn’t...
Pony was a rescue horse and a champion. Because of people like this.
My heart breaks for the horses or any animals that end up in Auction. Humans need to be kinder to the animals on this planet. I don't know why we mistreat them. I am so thankful for people like you. Hopefully one day I can become rich so I can do this and donate loads of money to rescue groups like you guys. You are amazing.
I thank the Lord for you and yours. For the work you do
My heart goes out to these amazing creatures and the hell that they are put thru. I donate almost every month and always wish it could be more. Horse Plus deserves it.
God in heaven this breaks my heart. I can't watch these anymore. It hurts so much
God bless you all for saving them
💞🥰👍👍👍💐
To all the donors who have been so amazing your all Angels truly
God bless you for what you are doing.
Oh my god when they said we’ll take them all i almost lost it omg incredible👏🏻amazing work and love to everyone involved including all the donors♥️
You're all angels for horses, much love.
im not crying you're crying...
This breaks my heart. If I could even rescue one of these horses I would but it would kill me even choosing one... then I'd cry about all the other horses that weren't picked. Damn..
God Bless you for saving these beautiful horses, growing up with horses most of my life, i know how expensive they can be. I wish i could work doing what you do. Saving these beautiful creatures. At 60yrs. Old i would still do that if i had the opportunity. I know its heart breaking seeing such neglected & abused horses. It would be well worth being there if i could save them.
Good. God. This video broke my heart. I adore horses and I just love that y’all are rescuing so many of these gorgeous creatures! May God’s light shine upon you. I’ll be donating.
Its hart to See so poor horses , thank you for your work from Germany .
I am a 16 year old girl who has been in love with horses my whole life. I have been riding for 4-5 years now, we have not been able to buy a horse because of budget and no place to put it. So I just took lessons and rode the horses there. I'm planning on buying a horse of my own when I can, my horses I want to be an auction horses now! ❤️ You guys are awesome! Keep it up! 😇
I was in the same boat as I was growing up. I got my first horse at 26 & have had them since. They’re expensive. But it’s so worth the sacrifice. Hang in there. Keep riding. Lease a horse if you can. YOU CAN DO IT. You WILL fulfill your dream!!! I promise!!
@@kristenkaz3080 thank you
You are all badasses and so amazing! Thank you for all the work you do and all the amazing horses you are able to save good freaking job yall
you're amazing! 53 horses will not be going to slaughter, To me that's so amazing please keep going and don't give up :)
That is heartbreaking. Thank you so much for the work you do, you guys are angles
So happy to see you doing this great work. I was raised on a farm and we had all types of animals. One thing I was taught at an early age was don't sell to just anyone. My father wouldn't sell to people that did a lot of selling, trading and livestock markets. As a result I have always had a special place in my heart for the welfare of animals.
Living near Louisville Kentucky I have donated and try and help those places that help race horses that are no longer viable. My favorite organization is Old Friends Farm in Georgetown Kentucky that takes in retired horses. Many are former stakes and Derby winners that have slipped through the system.
Keep up the good work and may God bless you in all your endeavors.🙏🐎🐴
"'at'a girl...at'a boy"...and ONE MORE "God bless you!", to the group that physically rescues and EACH & every donor who gave$!
What you did and have done is amazing, I was in tears watching this. It reminded me of the horse auctions I use to go to years ago. So many......I am in hopes I’ll be able to donate to your organization soon. Blessings to you and your crew. ❤️
