MY MAN! Not only is that one of the most majestic animal I have ever seen, but he drinks strong beer. What a guy.
@卐-LAKEHUNTIST-卐 [Z] 🇷🇺 You're a comedian and not even good at that.
how do you know that his beer is strong?
Why those 2 mad ppl under your post?🖕🖕
@@THX-vp9fz the color for one....
It's not so much the color of the beer, really, but if you look closer at the can ( 1:38 ), it says "7 % ALC/VOL" on the side. That's a strong beer.
The average lager is about 4,0 - 4,5 %. 🙂
Cheers!! 😉🍺
Horses are so soulful...you can see them through their eyes. I am SO glad you rescued him....now he can relax and enjoy life....as it should be. The Amish should be ashamed to work a horse that long and then take him to slaughter.
That’s every day occurrence for the Amish… most work their children and their animals. It’s disturbing trust me. They need to be watched more than they are which is rarely since they keep it within their communities. Their animals and children aren’t even close to what most people think. Most should be arrested for pedophilia, brothers and other family members raping their sisters, nieces etc. Not to mention the treatment of animals and children period.
True
Exactly !!
The Amish aren’t the nicest people. That German background. Hard nosed.
They know no other way and their religion dictates what power they use to farm with and if they switched to the internal combustion engine someone would be bitching about that so live and let live and enjoy the fact this animal was spared from slaughter and it give you some reason to spout your piousness for all who follow you.
I live in Amish country in PA, and the Amish are notorious for not taking care of their horses and mistreating them. So glad you rescued this gentle giant. ❤
@@labrennawalker2219They run a lot of puppy mills, too. In their religion, animals have no soul, therefore no thoughts, no feelings, no autonomy, no needs, no love. Animals are possessions, nothing more.
want to bet that they have some obscure and weird inturpitation of the Bible to "justify" actions?
@@philiprice7875They dont care about other religions
Just theirs
Like most religious people
Religion is division
It has divided humanity and has caused more wars and death than anything.
Imagine mistreating animals and feeling justified because of your religious beliefs.
Its a shame any way you look at it.
It's a cult.
What is PA?
After 20+ years hard work and no telling what conditions, this big guy deserves a beer or 3! GOD bless his rescuers.
his rescuers work solely with the amish for money.
What a majestic fellow, glad he's been retired and given a cozy life of love and beer!
That’s what we all work for, retirement with beer What a beautiful story
@@SweetColo beer ruins the liver so nah
@@seekersudarshan2078 only of you drink too much. A single beer a day isn't going to kill anyone.
@@Ventura574 it will affect in the long run
@@seekersudarshan2078 especially beer not, rather the harder alcoholic drinks like whiskey vodka rum gin whatever. Beer is rather healthier but too much of it can impact too
I’ve followed this entire journey since they first rescued Big John, and he now has a horse wife named Stardust and they just adopted a younger horse as their baby named Little John. He got to retire and have a horse family and it’s so cute 😭🖤🖤
Oh wow! This wonderful story just keeps getting better & better!
Thanks for sharing!
I luv, luv, luv hearing that!
Big John's rescue story is already so beautifully up-lifting & heart-warming!
But that he has now got a little family of his own as well?
That is just so lovely it brings tears of happiness to my eyes & a big smile to my face!
Just thinking about the amazing new life Big John has been given & is clearly soaking up & revelling in each day now, is a truly gorgeous thing!!
👏👏👍🍻💙👌🙏🌞🤞💙👊🥂🍾👏👏
That's horse was big
Oh my gooooodness! I want to see the rest of the story, where can I find it?!!! Plzzz pretty plz 🍒🔝🙏
Would love to see them❤❤
The big draft breeds are incredible horses. The gentle giants of the horse world. So glad you rescued Big John. He deserved a good retirement .
One of God's greatest gifts to us all no matter who owned him before his last year's is the ones he will remember, bless his lovely gigantic soul
Imagine being prescribed beer. Beautiful animal deserves every sip 🍻
A new home and a fresh cold beer everyday. The good life.
That first lay down/roll probably felt like heaven to him 😢❤
I felt it too....total relaxation mentally and emotionally.
I was thinking that too. Yes. He looks like he is having a blast. U go boy. We love u.💋❤️❤️❤️✨✨🤍🤍🤍❤️🔥❤️🔥 Awesome horse
Yes. It made me want to cry too 😢
You can see the permanent dip in the top of his neck from the collar. Poor guy! He's living the good life now thanks to you all!
He’s such a gentle giant with a big heart! So glad that he can finally relax and get to play now!
Thank you for rescuing this Gentle Giant and making his retirement full of love and joy. You are being repaid in kind. ❤️
I love people who love animals and am so glad you rescued this beautiful boy! God bless you always 🙏 ❤️
I sooo wish they would stop the slaughter of horses. Of any animal actually. Abattoirs are hideous places.
@@dalehoward5416 You and me both! It breaks my heart. I'm glad there are some people who are able to rescue them. I'm an avid animal lover who has a rescue dog, but I wish I had the money to buy enough land to make a place where animals of all kinds could live and be loved no matter their age or condition.
@@dalehoward5416 I so agree with you! Thanks for caring
@卐-LAKEHUNTIST-卐 [Z] 🇷🇺 Get off this page. You don't care about the safety and health of animals or anyone else.
He's got so much life in him still! He's gonna live that retirement up omg
@卐-LAKEHUNTIST-卐 [Z] 🇷🇺 lolllll nice joke, oh wait you’re the only one laughing at it
Thank you for rescuing him. I feel so sorry for the horses I see (usually, they’re not very big) hauling entire families of Amish in my area in all kinds of weather.
Why? What do you think your great great great grandparents did?
@@brententhornton8951 I think their point was that it’s too much weight for a single horse, or a horse of its size to pull. I’m fine with working horses, but you still need to treat them right, don’t overuse them, and retire them before it starts breaking down their body.
@@brententhornton8951 empathy for animals does not randomly disappear once you go back a couple years
@@notmalk_ this person made it seem like riding horses is wrong period so I don’t know what you’re talking about
Cold hearted humans .. unbelievable. In my country , people had horses( and other animals) for work. They appreciated them and treated them like family members with kindness and respect.
You have zero information on how this horse was treated. All work horses have scars, just like all cattle and livestock guardian dogs have them too.
@@jgjg3848The Amish had him, that gives you a pretty good idea. They are notorious for how they threat their horses.
@@jgjg3848 no a lot of us are very much aware of the cruelty of the Amish
So glad you rescued him.
Mrbeast is better
She said they bought him at auction. How is that a rescue?????
@@deidrequeen3288 a lot of horses at auction go to slaughter houses.
@@deidrequeen3288 I don’t think the Amish hand over horses to rescue when they can no longer work, they tend to send them to auction. Some rescue groups go to auctions and buy horses to take home to their rescue centre, thus, the horse is rescued from a possible risk of being sent to a slaughter house or being bought by someone who might still try to work them.
He’s got a girlfriend and a son now. (Both rescues too, a draft mare and a young draft colt, both also rescued from the slaughter pipeline.) Living the bestest life.
So Big John now has a Little John. Sounds like a character in Robin Hood, which is not a bad analogy for this rescue.
@@KENTUCKYUSA1 haha yup and that’s exactly what he’s called and he’s the spitting image of big John
That’s what I came here to say this must have been filmed a while ago but only just aired as so much has changed for him now love watching the girls live and donate while I can
How can a mother horse and her son be on death row? Humans disgust me.
@@dingo1666 upkeep is expensive
OMG i almost cried when he started to gallop. Thank you for rescuing him and all the other draft horses you've saved. You are truly earth angels for these guys,
Many thanks for your kind heart, for the Lord creatures.
He's so blessed to have had you in his life at the worst time
Of his life..thanks for giving him his happiness and freedom by healing and taking care of him.
I just love that he gets to enjoy a beer a day in retirement. That is so funny! 😀
He is absolutely beautiful! And huge!!!! Thank you for the rescue! ♥️
Even the minor, subtle changes in his look/demeanor from start to finish was amazing, it's like watching a completely different animal
Colby’s Crew Rescue does so much amazing rescue’s every month…Ally and her team work so hard for those poor neglected and abused horses and donkeys!
I follow lee asher and as well as rescuing dogs he has started to rescue horses from the amish, its heart breaking
Thank you for rescuing these majestic horses! To know they actually get a retirement and don't just go to slaughter is amazing! It's so unfair that these animals give you the best years of their life, and actually help you make a living, and then they just dump them at the slaughterhouse for a few hundred dollars.
Hello Gorgeous how are you doing? just hoping everything with you is okay
Thank you for providing love in his final years of life.
Isn't that what we'd all want in our final years
You could tell he was suffering from arthritis when he was struggling to lay down. So happy you have treated all his health issues.
Retirement is good. What a magnificent creature.
What a beautiful boy and he’s such a sweet, large fella.
I'm loving this horse that drinks beer every day.
It's absolutely obvious to see the difference in Big John's personality ever since his transformation while living at the sanctuary (Colby’s Crew Rescue). Big John transformed from a life of hardship & despair to now living a fulfilling & joyful life, including the indulgence of a daily can of beer! Big John paid his dues to society by being a hard working horse for over 20 yrs. It's now society's turn to let Big John live the best retirement life he truly deserves! Colby’s Crew Rescue deserves all the thanks & gratitude for helping Big John find true happiness.❤❤❤
And you gotta mention his wife and kid too. 🥰🥰
@@Adulting_Autistic Thank you for your response.
Although my comment may have only referenced Big John, because he's the primary focus in Dodo's video, plus I was concerned my comment may become too long, I assure you that my heart is always open & extends to every and all animals & rescuers. I'm a huge animal lover & I truly appreciate the hard work & efforts the animal rescuers' commitment to saving innocent/loving animals! Therefore, I welcome you (@Kandi Ann Brewer) to share your comment(s) about Big John's family members & Colby's Crew Rescue, as an extension to my comment.😊
My heart melted when he laid down and rolled around :) This is what heaven look like moment.
I couldn't agree more! Such a magnificent boy, he deserves only the best! Clearly he is getting that now. ❤️ to the rescue!
@@Adulting_Autistic Absolutely
I’m in tears, HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO INHUMANE . Such a beautiful baby, makes me sick. Sometimes I’m sleepless knowing this is happening nationwide. I pray I win the lottery for the animals.🙏
Did you know BLM and citizens are allowed to sell horses to Mexico, and Canada slaughter houses for human consumption?
I pray you do too.
❤ Thank you for giving him a beautiful life now. He deserves the love you’ve shown him.
I adore all horses, but I have always had a huge soft spot for the big ones.
They are gentle giants and big goofballs
And like every other rescued animal, they are so grateful ❤️🤗
@NelsonAnthony-sl6ri Warm, muggy and foggy with rain on the way.
I hope your weather is a bit better🌞
Big John seems like such a sweet horse. Thank you for rescuing him and giving him the best life. ❤
Absolutely true. I totally agree with you on that...
gee, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PAT THAT BIG
HORSE. I know he has scars from his hard life, but I'd like to give him some love.❣️🐺🦋
What a big, beautiful horse. As someone who has felt the pains of physical work late in life, I am so glad to see Big John get the nurturing and care he has earned. Good work. 👍
Bless you for saving this beautiful creature. I hope he enjoys his retirement. He differently deserves it. ❤️🐴
Big John is one big beautiful boy. I'm so happy he's living his retirement in style with a mouthfuls of beer everyday
Wow, he is a big horse!!! Big John is also absolutely beautiful. He seems very happy now in his new home. God bless you for saving him.
Every work horse deserves a happy retirement. Thank you for rescuing Big John. He’s magnificent and I can tell he’s really appreciative that you took him in.
This is absolutely beautiful! To see him canter was a joyful sight.
A roll in the grass. A freshly cracked open beer everyday. Big John is living the dream.
🌄🍺🐎
Big John is just a big Love bug! So glad he was rescued and is now enjoying his retirement.
So glad you adopted Big John and have given a new life in retirement.
He is magnificent. How could anybody send him away!?
Both my great-grandfather and grandfather had plow horses. Their horses were never worked to death and they never had scars. When they started showing their age, they were retired to pasture and treated well, as should be done.
I will never understand this type of abuse, or condone it.
My grandmaw cracked a beer everyday and lived to 98. I hope this magnificent horse the same longevity.
He deserve this what a beautiful soul breathtaking beautiful
Engel gibt es! Sie verbergen ihre Flügel!
Dieses wunderschöne Pferd wurde von diesen "Menschenengeln" gerettet!
Habt noch viel Spass miteinander!
"Big Boy" ist in guten Händen und er soll noch alles genießen, was ihm das Leben bietet!
Vielen Dank für euer Engagement!💝
I use to ride horses on a daily basis. Nothing compares to galloping on a horse on a trail. This horse is huge, but with that comes a huge heart. I hate to think this horse could have missed out on a better life, free from working. Bless you for saving him. ❤️❤️
That's what they're for. Just not to be abused and uncared for when they are.
Dogs work. It just depends
Horse must have purpose in its life
@@DieselTreleaver99 Their "purpose" can be to give joy and companionship to someone.....nor necessarily 2b worked till they drop then discarded.....
So great that you gave Big John a chance. His life was all about work and now he gets the TLC he deserves. He looks ten years younger since you saved him!
HIS HEART AND SOUL ARE LOVED AND HAPPY AND HAVE COME OUT TO PLAY.
He really looks like a completely different horse.😁
It's just amazing. At 7 years old, I fell off. The horse turned around and said, "What's your problem. A true friend.
Thank you so much for rescuing these horses, to save them from slaughter! Humans can be so ignorant of our beautiful animals. They deserve life shown with love and kindness.
Thank you so MUCH for rescuing the baby!!
Horses are regal animals. God bless you. He just needs LOVE.
Horses are the most beautiful and loyal animals and rewarded with very miserable lives and overworked by humans.
The big boy deserves to live his remaining days in peace and harmony, 20 yrs of hard graft and hes still a gentle giant, thanks for giving him what remains of his life back.
Thank you SO MUCH for all the rescue work you do!!! This sweetheart is thriving and you have made him so happy!!!🙌🙌🙌♥️♥️♥️
Aww your Boy Big John 🐎 horse is finally enjoying his retirement after work hard for 20 yaers . As soon as he got on the grass and ber roll over on his back he was finally free. And he loves yah .Big John. 🐎🐎. ..
Thank you so much for these horse 🐎 rescues. Such beautiful animals!
So happy he's with someone who has compassion! hope he has many pain-free days ahead!
I absolutely love this story and can't thank you enough for rescuing this Gentle Giant and the rest.🥰🤗🐎🐴
Hello how are you
Thank you for saving this beautiful boy and for all that you do 🙏🏼🇬🇧
What a wonderful thing you did for this big boy‼️ Now he can relax and live his best life thanks to you.. Bless you for all you do for these precious animals‼️♥️🐴♥️🐴♥️🐴
What an incredibly big beautiful beast of a horse. So glad to see him living out his golden years in love & comfort-he earned it
What a big love bug. I'm so happy for him. Another beautiful gentle giant. Thank you. Who knew that beer is good for horses!!!!
Thank you so much for your care. This big guy is going to need someone who loves him and you are his blessing. God bless and keep you.
A big Amen for that, such a great love...
I will really love to know more about you if you don't mind
This is what life is all about. Enjoying every step of the way
Too bad the godless Amish don't understand that
He is just an oversized snuggle-bunny 😂 bless you for saving BIG John and other draft horses. My mom told me stories about the 2 draft horses used on her family farm and how she and her uncle Harmon would used kindness to work them since they all knew kindness works better than meanness
I just broke up when he rolled in the grass. He was so happy and me so happy for him. You are my heros!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I’d totally drink beer with that horse!
He is bigg....i wish i could have him
Send his picture and story to Hollywood. The world needs to know about this beautiful horse.
Great idea. It may do a lot of good on several levels, including exposing the brutal treatment of animals by the Amish.
Horse after my own heart!!! Showed this to my wife to prove a beer a day keeps the doctor away!!! 😁👍🍺
He is beautiful. Thank you for rescuing this massive and stunning hardworking creature.
Seriously, that horse looks like he could just stroll over the fence.
Wow! He couldn't help them anymore so they dumped him. How wonderful & Godly of them.
This boy deserves loving every second of hos remaining days..love, love, love him💚💚
Wonderful horse and wonderful people who rescued him. Big John is a good name. Glad that he's finally enjoying life. 🥰💗
Beautiful, majestic darling ❤️🧡💛 Bless you all for loving, rescuing, and nurturing him to life and health ❤️♥️💙
That is the dream life of every retired veteran. Drinking beer everyday and get care from nice, beautiful and young lady 😆
Dear sweet soul, he is gorgeous. ❤️
Wow!! John’s just beautiful!!
Thank you, thank you, for giving him a happy home. I’m touched beyond words to see him enjoy life!
Wow hey i'm 76 and i dont have a retirement that good. Fantastic ladies you are doing good😇
Thanks for making the world a better place one draft horse at a time!
Awesome beast.....thank you hope he lives a nice retirement
The best heartwarming feel-good story of the day, and I’m really appreciative to have seen it, thank you. Here’s to Big John and other horses just like him enjoying life after working so hard for humans.
No matter how long he has to live those first few days are his best the rest of his life he will remember the first few days with you🙂
Thank you for saving Big John! If he could only tell you about his life you would be truly saddened! He now can live the life he should have! Thank you! Take care
Thank you for saving John and the others. You restore my faith in humanity.
Get a grip
When I lived in England my grandmother had a retired timpany drum horse and he was as big as Big John. His name was Duke. I used to have to climb on the tractor to get on him. He had been retired due to his front fetlocks being too straight. He was loads of fun too. On the beach I let him .loose for a little bit and he walked over my foot. Thank God for sand. XD
I have been following his story from tiktok from the day they got him and he looks so happy now w his girlfriend. Hopefully he can still have long happy life ahead of him
BIGGEST horse I’ve ever seen… also one of the most beautiful. His eyes, you can see his soul.
This one really got me. 🙏👏❤️🤞
I’m so glad you rescued big John he’s Beautiful ❤
Give him Guinness beer.. it’s a stout. From Ireland of course. It has iron in it which we used to give to all our horses after doing heavy days work , after jumping or eventing..
Putting it in a warm bran mash with molasses potato skins .. all good for their digestion ..
But the big ol work horses got Guiness most days !!
Sweet boy ❤
Tears are rolling down my face.There is a God,and he comes through you.Thank you for givjng this beautiful animal a heaven on earth to live out the rest of his life.💕
Hi how are you doing beautiful
Just have to thank you girls for the work that you do. My dream is to live in either the top part of a barn or have a tiny house on a few acres of land so I can have a couple of rescue horses just so they can be pampered for the rest of their lives
Wow! that's a great story and definitely a huge big boy. Thank you for the care you obviously take with all your horses - blankets, fly masks, beer! and cake! and so much love. Massive applause for what you do.
What a great and amazing love...
Really wanna get to know you more if you don't mind
THANK YOU so very much for rescuing this wonderful horse!!! I have heard that the Amish treat their horses terribly, which I found hard to believe, after all, these people are kind, loving ,gentle Christians. And they NEED these horses for so many things! So, WHY treat them so poorly? Maybe it's because they feel "THEY'RE JUST ANIMALS", like so many people feel. Those kind of people I would like to show them HOW THE HORSES FEEL! I AM AN ANIMAL LOVER!!! I tolerate most people. GOD created these big, majestic creatures for our pleasure ,NOT FOR US TO ABUSE!! SHAME ON PEOPLE WHO TREAT ANIMALS CRUELY!!! I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS BIG HORSE WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO RUN, BECAUSE I COULD SEE HOW STIFF HIS JOINTS WERE. But, thank GOD, After some quality care (+ LOVE) he emerged!! GOD BLESS all people who RESCUE!!!
God will judge everyone for how they treat animals and all the helpless.
Thank you for rescuing this Gentle Giant and making his retirement full of love and joy. You are being repaid in kind.
Cracks open a beer every day in retirement 😂 ❤ you are angels
