No Kill buyer took any horses!!!!! That’s the best news for animal rescuers that they will ever hear. What an accomplishment! Your goal and mission is to stop horses from going to slaughter and you did just that for this auction
I could never go to an auction it would break my heart,. I was so happy that the draft horse got up it made me cry happy tears. ❤Thank you so much for helping these poor animals.❤
I feel so heartbroken to see them rescued with no chance whatsoever that they have to be given the last act of kindness and be there while they "leave" 🌈
“He’s a stallion. So that means he has a high opinion of himself & why he’s riding on his own!” Hilarious. A little humor during this tough time certainly brightens things. Thank you for the effort & sacrifice when you give it your all. You guys are amazing. All of you. Including the horses.
I've watched every video and this one had me in tears. I've seen sick animals and injured animals but the long-term neglect of these beautiful animals is just heartbreaking.
Whew, a tough one to watch. It is heartbreaking what is done to these beautiful souls. I want to thank all of you and anyone else who does rescues. Thank you for this video!
For the last 10 years my husband and I have worked with a dog rescue. We've fostered and found homes for 80 or so pups. Many on their last days at the shelter before euthanasia. It is the hardest thing to see any animal that has been abused, starved and neglected. Animals know and respond to kindness so quickly when given the chance. There is nothing like the look of love in an animals eyes when they know they are loved and cared for! Thank you all for giving these beautiful creatures a chance to know love even if in some cases it is with the compassion of giving them the last act of kindness with loving hands helping them to be free from pain. 😘
I know horses are being tortured abuse is not the right word I get mail to help and save them but the dogs cats in labs and experiments being done to these animals even in the military laboratories The govt. has to stop all TAX PAYER FUND TO THESE RESEARCH LABS!
No one will not tell me that love and kindness will not work you all pulled this horse back from deaths door. God bless you all. Grace is doing better.
It was just beautiful to see how much the poor Belgian mare came round after your care, I hope she makes a full recovery and forgives we humans for what we did to her 🐴🐎🐴
God bless all of you that were at this auction for the kindness you gave the horses. I had flowing tears several times especially with the Draft. All of the mentorees are phenomenal people. May your lives and organizations be abundantly prospered from the love light you shine. ❤
My grandpa and grandma rescued a Wild Mustang, and they spoiled him, they got him when I was little he was my summer playmate when I stayed the summers with them.
🙏 please will you do all you can to save the life of the precious draft, treated so appallingly and who has suffered so much abuse yet is still fighting so hard and so bravely to stay alive. She has captured my heart❤ 🇬🇧
About that draft horse....I'm with you 100%! There is absolutely NO excuse for this treatment, which has been ongoing for quite some time. Brought tears to my eyes too.
Just fyi, the draft horses used by the Amish are just that - used. They are often treated like they were a piece of equipment. If they get injured, and must be put down, it is sad because it is a wasted investment, not because they care about the life of the horse. The horse is only of value while it can work.
It's times like this that I need hell to be a real place and all of these people who are responsible for the neglect and abuse to go straight there. There is no excuse at all for ANY animal to be neglected and abused. There are too many people in this world who are ready to take animals in to keep them from starvation, etc. That sweet drafty deserves all the love in this world! They all do! ❤️❤️
I can't take loss. I've lost too many pets in my life. The last one, my cat Bear absolutely broke my heart. It happened so suddenly and unexpected. By far the worst and still heartbroken over a year later. God Bless these people. We owned horses as well.
It never gets easier I agree I never understand how heartless some people can be To any animal or humans If we all could help each other and do best we can the world will be a better place Thank you for what you do I have rescued lots of animals on my own and lost several But I knew they will never experience cruelty again Praying for this world
I’ve always loved working horses and the jobs they have filled for us, the muscle they have given us for generations. I love seeing a buggy horse, a cow cutter or an animal that carries for us. But to see them worked to death and discarded like a rusty saw is enraging.
It was a HEART breaking video to watch. Silver lining was the compassion these rescuers gave these poor animals, all the love and care they should have had through their life. Bless you all for what you do.
I was crying my eyes out before the credits rolled, this was so difficult to witness. Every fibre of my body and mind aches for that poor Belgian beauty. Thank you to you all, you are earth angels. ❤❤❤😢
I do not understand how anyone can watch the way you work…the efforts, time, money you spend to care for these animals and say the nasty things they say about you. You are genuine. You are loving and caring and dedicated to ending the suffering of horses…but really any creature you find in your life journey. Thank you all so much! Thank you Tawnee and Jason for holding steady for two+ decades😍
I cried so much for that beautiful young Draft ... after all the rescues i have seen you do, this one, this one tore me to pieces, I pray she can recover and lead a sedate peaceful life
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for what you do, you are all amazing loving people and you make such a difference to the lives of these beautiful animals. I prey they all go on to have much better lives. A big hug and thank you from 🇬🇧 uk
God bless you all that last act of kindness is always a peace release from the living HELL THEY CAME FROM AND THEY KNOW AND LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU ON RAINBOW 🌈 BRIDGE IN JESUS ARMS AMEN 🙏 WE LOVE YOU ALL ❤️
Tawnee, you have mastered the art of RESCUE......down to the (last) breath......even figuring what air the horse has available in the right trailer! Hearing the strategies of auction bidding, keeping your cool in an emotional situation. The role of every person on the team is defined. After watching all the videos HPlus uploaded, I think this is technically the most proficient......as well as artistic......but especially the shared compassion this inspires in those who watch it. Cudos to your film crew. And LOVE to all those caring folks of RESCUES gathered together there.
I've been an animal lover my whole life. Horses have always held a special place in my heart and I've come to believe they are kindred spirits to mankind. For thousands of years horses have been allies, friends and companions to cultures and civilizations around the world. Horses are so honest and forgiving. These magnificent animals are truly a gift from the almighty and should be revered. Thank you for all you do to help these precious souls.
That sad pony with the bad mouth and horrible feet just makes you wonder are there really people out there so heartless? The gross neglect of that draft also allicits a resounding WHY?! Thank the God who gave them life for bringing you into their existence to make it better or release them from their suffering. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Another great video! Well done media team! But next time before I clik play to start, I'll be sure to have my kleenex box close by. May God richly bless all of you and your efforts and greatly multiply your resources so you can continue saving these precious ones.
As a person who has slept in rat/cockroach infested barns with sick/injured/recently rescued horses laying alongside me, this hurts my soul. I will never understand how humans can be so incredibly cruel.
Watching you guys is such a roller coaster for me. One minute my heart is breaking for a poor damaged horse, the next I am so immensely humbled by your kindness and compassion and sheer determination to keep helping horses. Not only that but building a network of effective horse rescues everywhere. The battle against cruelty and neglect is getting better all the time thanks to Horse Plus. ❤️
Yes it is hard to see how these horses suffer going to so many auctions. Every episode makes me cry. There should be laws against bringing horses to auctions in that bad a condition. But then we have to also realize that they may suffer even worse if let where their at before auction.
Hi Diane- I agree that there is a huge need for closer supervision of the care animals receive from the people and corporate entities who own them. The irony of saying so, for me anyways, is that the longer I live the less evidence I have that people in positions of authority use that power in legitimate ways. One of the dangers in better rules and stricter policies ( mayb that should read better policies and stricter rules?, lol) is that it does nothing to change the attitudes of ppl and corporations, and some of them will find other ways to dispose of their damaged and neglected animals in order to stay off the radar. Horse rescue is not glamorous (thank G for that!!) but it draws a lot bigger audience than animal rights campaigns and committee meetings. ending equine slaughter is not a hard premise to get people to buy into, but the array of forces on the other side of the debate has a whole different skill set and principles ( arguments, if you like) to defend the practice, so to engage with those entities and discover their position is an important step in meeting the challenge overall. 🌎🌜🌛 🦎🦂🥽💼 👤👀👂🏻🦷
Your professional and compassionate handling is so educational to people. This shows the real story. People need to be more careful who they let have their horses.
This was a very hard one to watch guys, especially when l saw the beautiful Belgian mare, l cried tears of sadness and tears of happiness when I saw her standing up, bless you and thank you all so much for what you do and what you stand for, love you all, 18 precious lives saved, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
I feel really sad for the draft horse. I hope he is doing a lot better now. I know he will get what he needs at Horse- Plus. I wish I could do more. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
“I feel really sad for the draft horse too.” It is actually a girl. “I hope she is doing a lot better now.” “I know she will get what she needs at Horse-Plus.” 45:00
Thank the heavens that they got her. She would have never made it in the slaughter truck. She would have suffered a more harsh death. Thanks to these angels at Horse Rescue ❤❤❤
This show clinched it for me. Tawnee and Jason's business plan is simply brilliant, and their management skills superb. Using their methods, horse slaughter will end in the United States and their mentoring program is at the core. Love how the media crew has really stepped up their game. Brand new monthly Horse Plus member here!
OMG! That sweet draft horse!!! Thank you for having stuck by her and gotten her to her feet. Someone is going to get a phenomenal draft horse pet thanks to you guys rescuing it.
Wow. How incredibly, incredibly proud you must be! Of yourselves as well. So many more horses in so many states are going to get a chance now because of you guys. Bravo! About the Belgian mare, she felt you trying for her and it is my sincere belief that she wanted to try for you. i've found that to be true in the past. She was given a little spark of hope and it was just enough to ignite the "want to" in her heart. Says a lot about her spirit. Thank you never seems like enough, but thank you.🙏 💙☘️🥀
Hi Stacey greetings from Canada. I think you are right about the mare’s perspective on her situation. I hope everybody involved in her care feels an easing of their heart’s pain when they realize how their hard work and skills including at compassion helped to bring her out of that dark and lonely place. You could see how most of them hardly dared to hope she would make it, so they must have been ecstatic at her recovery ❤️🩹. Posted day 46/2023 by not- mardon
This was a heart wrenching episode featuring the hardest part of nature made worse by human negligence. Thank you for rescuing those tough ones. It's easy to buy healthy horses and find adopters, but the 'damaged tools' (says it all Brandy) takes special kindred and gifted spirits to salvage such extreme neglect. Thank you for all you do! Shout out to Brandy--it was inspirational to hear your passion and wisdom! Each team was well suited for this path and wonderful to see you all work together with great success!
I'm in the first third of watching this film. And I know this is a moving experience for the viewer.......and I know it is a cathartic moment required to keep the Rescuer from losing HOPE and desire, that I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.......and each participant is BONDED by going through this experience....together. Perfect music choice as well.
This is so hard and heartbreaking for me to watch. I can't even imagine how you feel when you see horses like this I know it just breaks your heart Bod Bless them all✝️🙏💔💕
Loved watching this video. I am so happy the draft horse was able to be transported. What a wonderful job the crew did to get her on her feet. All of the members of all the teams are heroes with hearts soft as cotton with love for animals. God bless each and everyone of you
This is one of the most awesome episode, very emotive, very hard to watch that draft mare and so happy ending for her end up with you guys, very happy so see. Thank from Brazil for such a amazing work Horse Plus do out there in USA.
Oh boy was this an exciting episode! The first time I cried right along with Phyllis at the beginning. The draft mare? Absolutely heartbreaking! How can Human Beings get a horse into that condition - and then disregard it at an auction? Really, really heartbreaking. And the mini with the bad feet and teeth? So heartbreaking that she had to suffer through so much! On a good note: I am sure all the organizations learned a lot. Horse Plus has an amazing system! I really hope the draft mare made it, but it sure didn’t look like she had a lot of chance 😢
Von Herzen vielen Dank für die Rettung der Draft Horse Stute an alle beteiligten Menschen vor Ort. Es ist sehr gut, dass 18 Pferde gerettet wurden, DANKE, HORSE PLUS und den anderen Retter-Teams.
The compassion of the rescuers is inspiring. There’s an emotional price to pay when you enter the world of the suffering horses in order to rescue. Keep up your fine work- but speak to Jason and Tawnee about strategies for balancing the hurt with recreational strategies. And I pray you don’t get exploitative trolling- this emotional work will attract some emotionally deregulated folk unfortunately.
It was so painful to see these poor horses, but also so painful to see all these amazing people cry. The world is lucky to have people like you, people like us (I hope) who care. It's not easy, it never become easier, but without you, without us, these horses have no chance at all. One at a time, step after step, we can build a better world for them. I know it's difficult, it's so easy to think about all the poor souls it wasn't possible to save, but every single horse you saved is a light that shine brighter, a horse whose suffer will end, in a way or in another
No idea who in their rite mind could starve any horse period . Or any other animal for that matter .Owners like that do not deserve to ever own any animal period . Glad all y'all was able to save these beautiful babies once again .
God-bless that young horse at least she feels the love from all of you and I pray for that little black-and-white you couldn't save that just breaks my hear that black-and-white horse does not deserve any more pain I can't believe how people can do that to their horses. My horse will eat before I do all my horses have been that way including all my cats and dogs I would never let any of my animals starve I. Would starve before they do!!!!🙏💔💔 If I had had the money I would have paid for you to rescue that little black-and-white horse.
I have to say that you people who do this rescuing are amazing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving these horses. To think some of those horses will never have known a loveing touch or kind word is heartbreaking. Bless you all.
je vous félicite vous faite des miracle pour eux je vous remercie je sais pas si au Québec il as des gens comme vous tous j'admire vos sauvetage que vous faite Merci pour eux vous me faite pleurer souvent en vous regardant
It's just awful the condition the draft horse was in. Who was the previous Owners 🤔 I was so thrilled to see her not only up. but feeling and looking much better, You are loved draft❤❤Wish I was there to love on here
This has a GREAT intro to the whole video! And exciting that all the participants in the HP+ mentoring this year.....are going to their first auction, while others are so aware of what is to come.......man alive, this is a powerful statement about RESCUE WORK. It also says a lot about the humanity of it all. Peace be with you all in Rescue. ......***********
This one was a real tuff one to watch I was 😢 to see the one down and the pony with the over bite and hooves. I will never understand how people can allow these beautiful horses go in horrible conditions. But for y'all to give them a second chance and show them what real love is its truelly amazing. Thank God for angels like you
Beside these poor sweet babies being so abused and neglected, which is criminal to say the very least, nature doesn't seem to do these guys any favors either. I mean, it seems like that most of the horses you have to say goodbye to have unfixable problems with their legs and feet. Since I've been watching you all, at least 75 percent of the animals who has to be let go have bad legs or feet. Poor guys. Thank you for giving them the respect and release from the pain they have been it.❤️
The saying "no hoof, no horse" is a very old one. These horse rescue organisations, that often get horses 20+ years, even 30+ years old, have one to match. "No teeth, not much future" Hoof care and dental care - WAY more important than fancy tack or beautifully plaited mane.
What an emotional episode. Love you guys and will continue to donate as able. Please keep us posted on that special Draft. Teared up as well feeling the love from you guys and pain that poor horse endured before ending up at this auction! No excuse on her care where she was before and trying to make $$$ off neglect. In their defense ?? Maybe they didn't know where to turn when they were unable to care for her properly ?? I'm so glad you found her and are doing what you can. God bless you all in the work you do! I'm sure it can't be easy. Your kindness even if it's the last act is admirable.
No Kill buyer took any horses!!!!! That’s the best news for animal rescuers that they will ever hear. What an accomplishment! Your goal and mission is to stop horses from going to slaughter and you did just that for this auction
I could never go to an auction it would break my heart,. I was so happy that the draft horse got up it made me cry happy tears.
❤Thank you so much for helping these poor animals.❤
Heaven on earth is a world filled with people who have hearts like the rescue team 💕
I'm in tears already listening to that lady talk about that poor horse she saw..those memories you never lose
Please get up girl. I will pray for her
Thsnkyou for saving the horses. They need u all
You can tell the Love given to each horse is not dependent on whether the horse will survive much past the auction. Love is love is love.
i feel awful when i’m late to feed my horses by 5 mins. i can’t imagine letting a horse go starving.
I can’t imagine any animal going hungry. For that mater any human too…..it’s sad it’s in this world…..😥😥😥
Hell, I haven't had horses for over 40 years. Still have dreams about over sleeping, and not watering them on time
It's a shame everyone not like you hun I am the same absolutely heartbreaking and there is no need for the suffering 😢
I hate humans who abuse and neglect animals
I feel so heartbroken to see them rescued with no chance whatsoever that they have to be given the last act of kindness and be there while they "leave" 🌈
“He’s a stallion. So that means he has a high opinion of himself & why he’s riding on his own!” Hilarious. A little humor during this tough time certainly brightens things. Thank you for the effort & sacrifice when you give it your all. You guys are amazing. All of you. Including the horses.

Ditto. I'm bawling right now. God bless you all for what you do for these precious animals.
I’m in tears watching what has been done to these horses!! You folks are angels
For the last 10 years my husband and I have worked with a dog rescue. We've fostered and found homes for 80 or so pups. Many on their last days at the shelter before euthanasia.
It is the hardest thing to see any animal that has been abused, starved and neglected.
Animals know and respond to kindness so quickly when given the chance. There is nothing like the look of love in an animals eyes when they know they are loved and cared for!
Thank you all for giving these beautiful creatures a chance to know love even if in some cases it is with the compassion of giving them the last act of kindness with loving hands helping them to be free from pain. 😘

I know horses are being tortured abuse is not the right word I get mail to help and save them but the dogs cats in labs and experiments being done to these animals even in the military laboratories The govt. has to stop all TAX PAYER FUND TO THESE RESEARCH LABS!
No one will not tell me that love and kindness will not work you all pulled this horse back from deaths door. God bless you all. Grace is doing better.
Yes! A remarkable recovery all because of love.
Colorado Carrie. You’ve come a long way baby too!! Really nice to see you too. Old home week!
It was just beautiful to see how much the poor Belgian mare came round after your care, I hope she makes a full recovery and forgives we humans for what we did to her 🐴🐎🐴

Mine too...I'm also in the UK 🇬🇧, we may have problems with animal cruelty, though nothing to compare with what happens at these horrific auctions!..🐎

I agree
I never understand how heartless some people can be
To any animal or humans
If we all could help each other and do best we can the world will be a better place
Thank you for what you do
I have rescued lots of animals on my own and lost several
But I knew they will never experience cruelty again
Praying for this world

It's easy to buy healthy horses and find adopters, but the 'damaged tools' (says it all Brandy) takes special kindred and gifted spirits to salvage such extreme neglect. Thank you for all you do!
Shout out to Brandy--it was inspirational to hear your passion and wisdom! Each team was well suited for this path and wonderful to see you all work together with great success!
I'm in the first third of watching this film. And I know this is a moving experience for the viewer.......and I know it is a cathartic moment required to keep the Rescuer from losing HOPE and desire, that I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.......and each participant is BONDED by going through this experience....together. Perfect music choice as well.
This is so hard and heartbreaking for me to watch. I can't even imagine how you feel when you see horses like this I know it just breaks your heart Bod Bless them all✝️🙏💔💕
Loved watching this video. I am so happy the draft horse was able to be transported. What a wonderful job the crew did to get her on her feet. All of the members of all the teams are heroes with hearts soft as cotton with love for animals. God bless each and everyone of you
God bless y'all forever forever.thanks for giving these souls a chance at life
This is one of the most awesome episode, very emotive, very hard to watch that draft mare and so happy ending for her end up with you guys, very happy so see. Thank from Brazil for such a amazing work Horse Plus do out there in USA.
Deepest respect. I could Not watch theses poor animals without breaking
Thank you for what all you very tough people do. I am in awe of your kindness and your strength. Love and Light to all of you. Blessed Be!
The only thing that saved that mare was the love you all showed her. Anyone could have done medically what you guys did. You gave her hope.
Rubbing and loving on her gave her HOPE😭
So many great horses saved
Oh boy was this an exciting episode! The first time I cried right along with Phyllis at the beginning. The draft mare? Absolutely heartbreaking! How can Human Beings get a horse into that condition - and then disregard it at an auction? Really, really heartbreaking. And the mini with the bad feet and teeth? So heartbreaking that she had to suffer through so much! On a good note: I am sure all the organizations learned a lot. Horse Plus has an amazing system! I really hope the draft mare made it, but it sure didn’t look like she had a lot of chance 😢
I have to give all of you so much credit, some of the stories are so gut wrenching.
This was a hard one to watch but i needed to see it. More people need to see this. I cried so hard.
That first horse needs to be named MIRACLE!!🙏🏻💖🙏🏻
Von Herzen vielen Dank für die Rettung der Draft Horse Stute an alle beteiligten Menschen vor Ort. Es ist sehr gut, dass 18 Pferde gerettet wurden, DANKE, HORSE PLUS und den anderen Retter-Teams.
This world can be so cruel. God bless you all.
The compassion of the rescuers is inspiring. There’s an emotional price to pay when you enter the world of the suffering horses in order to rescue. Keep up your fine work- but speak to Jason and Tawnee about strategies for balancing the hurt with recreational strategies. And I pray you don’t get exploitative trolling- this emotional work will attract some emotionally deregulated folk unfortunately.
Spark in that Belgian's eye the next day. Hope she makes it. You guys done good.
Broke my heart this did, I hate what humans do to these beautiful animals 😢😢😢
It was so painful to see these poor horses, but also so painful to see all these amazing people cry. The world is lucky to have people like you, people like us (I hope) who care. It's not easy, it never become easier, but without you, without us, these horses have no chance at all. One at a time, step after step, we can build a better world for them.
I know it's difficult, it's so easy to think about all the poor souls it wasn't possible to save, but every single horse you saved is a light that shine brighter, a horse whose suffer will end, in a way or in another
Ich hoffe das Draft Pferdchen bekommt mehr als eine Chance, es hat so einen Lebenswillen und will nicht sterben. 🥰😍🥰❤❤❤❤
No idea who in their rite mind could starve any horse period . Or any other animal for that matter .Owners like that do not deserve to ever own any animal period . Glad all y'all was able to save these beautiful babies once again .
These "people" should be arrested as soon as the poor horses are unloaded. Period!!!! No one should receive a damn dollar from their suffering!!!!
Blessings to all of you helping the animals
God-bless that young horse at least she feels the love from all of you and I pray for that little black-and-white you couldn't save that just breaks my hear that black-and-white horse does not deserve any more pain I can't believe how people can do that to their horses. My horse will eat before I do all my horses have been that way including all my cats and dogs I would never let any of my animals starve I. Would starve before they do!!!!🙏💔💔
If I had had the money I would have paid for you to rescue that little black-and-white horse.
Blessings!
I have to say that you people who do this rescuing are amazing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving these horses. To think some of those horses will never have known a loveing touch or kind word is heartbreaking. Bless you all.
So nice to see Jenna again
God bless all those beautiful horses
I thought so too.💖
So thankful they (horse and rescuers)have you .
je vous félicite vous faite des miracle pour eux je vous remercie je sais pas si au Québec il as des gens comme vous tous j'admire vos sauvetage que vous faite Merci pour eux vous me faite pleurer souvent en vous regardant
SO good to see Pony Tails. Cindy, you’ve come a long way baby!!
Great job all of you ❤
It's just awful the condition the draft horse was in. Who was the previous Owners 🤔 I was so thrilled to see her not only up. but feeling and looking much better, You are loved draft❤❤Wish I was there to love on here
Cried so hard with this one........AAAAAAAaaaaahhhhhh!
This has a GREAT intro to the whole video! And exciting that all the participants in the HP+ mentoring this year.....are going to their first auction, while others are so aware of what is to come.......man alive, this is a powerful statement about RESCUE WORK. It also says a lot about the humanity of it all. Peace be with you all in Rescue. ......***********
How can anyone treat an animal like this can call themselves human. It is heart braking. Makes your heart hurt. Thank you for doing what you do.
This one was a real tuff one to watch I was 😢 to see the one down and the pony with the over bite and hooves. I will never understand how people can allow these beautiful horses go in horrible conditions. But for y'all to give them a second chance and show them what real love is its truelly amazing. Thank God for angels like you
Awe she broke my heart. All I want to do is hug and cry with her. God bless her heart
Beside these poor sweet babies being so abused and neglected, which is criminal to say the very least, nature doesn't seem to do these guys any favors either. I mean, it seems like that most of the horses you have to say goodbye to have unfixable problems with their legs and feet. Since I've been watching you all, at least 75 percent of the animals who has to be let go have bad legs or feet. Poor guys. Thank you for giving them the respect and release from the pain they have been it.❤️
The saying "no hoof, no horse" is a very old one. These horse rescue organisations, that often get horses 20+ years, even 30+ years old, have one to match. "No teeth, not much future" Hoof care and dental care - WAY more important than fancy tack or beautifully plaited mane.
@@lynnegee6814 That is so sad.
What an emotional episode. Love you guys and will continue to donate as able. Please keep us posted on that special Draft. Teared up as well feeling the love from you guys and pain that poor horse endured before ending up at this auction! No excuse on her care where she was before and trying to make $$$ off neglect. In their defense ?? Maybe they didn't know where to turn when they were unable to care for her properly ?? I'm so glad you found her and are doing what you can. God bless you all in the work you do! I'm sure it can't be easy. Your kindness even if it's the last act is admirable.
