I just don't undesrtand how people can be so so awful to animals. I am so glad you got her. I feel for all the others that suffer and and no one cares about.
I love Anna. Dorothy I am sure you would be wonderful. I was thinking the same thing. This girl has suffered too much. She deserves to be pampered everyday. I would treat her to a nice soothing bathe everyday. She needs more one on one attention.
Hello... I'm 84 and live in my van with my service 🐕🦺 on scant social security for five years now...I watch from Titusville Florida...great work..can not donate...wish i could.... Lexi is my girl... we're together four years... inherited her and sibling four years ago. Bg died of heart attack last summer at 9 years old.. Lexi is ten... I'm a former horse trainer..stunt rider.. horse partner...miss it every day..have a good day😊
May God bless you for all you have done over the years. I'm unable to send funds also but take silace in knowing I help by watching and smashing the like button. We all do what we can.
It's so horrible that so many horses are getting slaughtered. Here she is so sad skinny and hopefully wishing you would love her. Bless you all for saving them 🙏 🙌 ❤❤❤❤
I reiterate that the Amish are the main ones that do this to their wrk horses as a basic practice…. After all that are the main group that still use horse power to run their farms and yes other individuals that use horse power for farm work do it too but not on the scale they do it. Buy the way they are notorious for they puppy mills also as they do this on a commercial level. Many rescues try to help these animals out if they have been abandoned but sadly many pups are killed if not up to their standards for resale.
@@cherylhudson325 I don't disagree with you about how the Amish treat their animals but its not just the Amish that abuse and mistreat animals. I worked for a rescue group in Las Vegas, NV and I saw first hand what people can do to animals and it makes me sick! Animal abuse on all levels no matter who they are needs to be addressed. Animals do not deserve to be treated the way they are sometimes.
@@FletcherFarmsAmarillo I agree with what you said whole hardily that other groups and individuals are cruel but my point is most folks know very little about Amish and assume being a religious org that they would be nice and follow bible standards . Bourse racing and the Big Lick are right up with them in the cruelty to sending horses to the slaughter pipe line.
I am not even half way through this video, have never owned horses, ( but at 74, now 78) volunteered at the local Parks Equestrian Center because I love these majestic beings. Anyway, my heart is warmed by watching the loving care you are giving to Anna (my mother's name.) Thank you so much. God bless❤
Seeing how she's still pretty thin after a whole year of your ministrations makes it clear how starved she was. It is appalling the condition a horse owner allows a horse to decline to!!! Beyond shameful. Thank you for your kind care and love - its lovely to see :)
That photo showed that poor horse suffering and so sad. Thank you for saving her. It astounds me the number of working horses who are so ill treated in America but guess it is probably the same here in New Zealand. Her heart looks broken. I have seen many Amish horses ill treated too which surprises and horrifies me. I hope you have a happy life ahead with Anna. ❤️
Such a beautiful transformation of love. Shame on the heinous, ugly humans who starve and abuse these gentle giants then dump them for slaughter. It is almost too hard to watch her in the beginning. It takes a special dedication and spirit to do your work. God Bless.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support. When Cory sent me the video of her when he arrived to pick her up I just started crying. I cried all night because I didn't think she would survive the first night here. She is a fighter who knows love and kindness now and will never be abused again!
She is such a majestic horse….full of grace and love. Thank you soooooo much for all you do. I love horses so much and your videos make my soul so happy!!
Her change in expression makes me cry. She was so broken when you got her including emotionally, and it was obvious on her face. Now she has a look of quiet, gentle happiness and peace. OMG. Happy tears.
I'm right there with you! I shed a few tears while putting this video together. I hadn't looked back at her original picture in a while and her transformation is amazing. Dr Waggoner was here the other day and she was happy with the progress Anna made in a short time. We are so glad we were able to help her.
It's beautiful to see these wonderful horses transform under the loving care of Julie and everyone at Fletcher Farms. Are the previous abusers charged???? They should be. Take Care you wonderful people.
I wonder how recently her foal had been taken away from her when you saved her. That may account for some of the sadness, along with massive changes. Thanks for all you do for these beautiful souls.
@@flenzy I DOUBT THEY WILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN -TO INFLICT THIS EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL PAIN ON AN INNOCENT EQUINE MOM AND OTHER HORSES! PROBABLY THEY GO HOME AND KICK THEIR DOGS! SOB'S!!!
@@FletcherFarmsAmarillo We do what we can. I gave a home to a little abused dog and she will know love and shelter, food and medical security for the rest of her life. I am a senior on a fixed income and with my volunteer work, sharing my garden produce and prayers, that’s my contribution to the world. It’s what I can do. Teach by example. You reach a lot of people and by doing so raise awareness plus you give those beautiful animals a chance to know love and care. Blessings on you all!

My daddy had a Belgian for a plow horse back in 1937-39 when I was a toddler, and he was my only playmate. I sat beneath him and played.....he was so careful where he put his feet, and I loved him. He was named SHORTY, can you imagine!!!! I've loved horses ever since, especially the Belgians.
I'm from South Africa and we have numerous unused and unwanted horses especially race horses which are not bringing in the money and are abandoned, slaughtered, used for pulling overloaded carts to scrap yards and those sold for street races. So pleased pleased with what you are doing.❤
We do have the Pony Cart organisation which ensures that the ponies are well fed and cared for. The carts are not allowed out in bad weather either very hot or very wet and stormy and there are mandatory rest periods as well. Pony cart drivers are issued relief ponies while their ponies are resting. This is the procedure in Cape Town - not sure about other areas in the country.
Anna is a beautiful horse, and I am so glad you were able to rescue her. She is a testement to what the power of unconditional love can do, especially in the life of an animal who has almost given up. Thank you Julie and Cory for all your loving care for these beautiful animals.
I always love how these precious horses go from being so under nourished and neglected to so full of life, their coat looking so fluffy and inviting to be brushed and petted...😁
So true! They love the attention and being brushed is their favorite. I have to keep them separated these days to brush they because they follow me around to be brushed and cause little scuffles with the other horses. LOL
I honestly think that recreating a little of the paradise that God made for people and animals, here on the flawed earth, really is God's work. Huge thanks to you kind people.
I do not understand how any person could starve and mistreat any animal. An eye for an eye people. We all go for a life review in heaven. Those of you who have abused animals will get to enjoy that same pain. I do find a bit of pleasure knowing that fact. Anna is a beautiful horse. I hope she is happy on your farm. Thank you and your husband for rescuing these beautiful horses and taking such good care of them.
Thank you! We have no idea what happened to the foal. There wasn't a way to find the foal either. The kill pen trucks pick up from all over. It said she came from Ohio but you never know if that is true.
@@carriebishop8838 that’s extremely sad and she probably couldn’t even be with her baby . 😣 Im sorry but these Amish people are no better than the people who traffic in abuse .
Thank you for all you do for these big, gentle giants that you take in. I'm glad they have a safe place to go to. From a Retired Paramedic and Horse Trainer in Ontario, Canada, Jenn. 💖 💖🇨🇦🇺🇲
I can not understand how anyone can mistreat these beautiful babies. They are so gentle and willing to do everything you ask of them. How can we support you?
Heartless AMISH that use up a horse and discard it like it was nothing to them. These beautiful horse dedicate their hard work lives for them people and THIS is the thanks they get. Unreal and HEARTBREAKING. Thank you for rescuing this beautiful soul. ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately it isn’t just eh Amish that abuse horses. Finn for example was owned by someone after working on an Amish farm and those people did not take care of him. They left him in a pasture and then dumped him at the kill lot. It’s so sad what happens to these beautiful animals.
It is not fair nor accurate to state 'Amish'. This is called a 'generalization' and simply not accurate. I'm involved in cattle/horses and trust me, ALL cultures are capable of neglect. I staunchly object to labeling 'Amish' as abusers. Identify the abuser by name or omit that information.
Boycott all Amish products that will send a message to the Amish very quickly we won’t tolerate cruelty to Animals buy a tractor and stop the Animal abuse!!
@@Sparrow.in.the.treetop you are pointing out a certain people group/culture and accusing them unjustly; ALL people are capable of neglect and you are incorrect to name only a certain group.
Beautiful halter! Does Anna justice for her great looks. Restoring trust is a long road, Fletcher Farms takes the step-by-step effort to bring that trust back to the abused, neglected, abandoned horses.The public at large is unaware of the fate of horses in the United States. Fletcher Farms makes my day better, we all have a voice, we all can do something, the small gifts add up. We are the shepherds of this earth.
We most certainly are the shepherds of this Earth. We have been given an amazing planet, with a complete and beautiful "garden". We are responsible for the welfare of ALL LIFE UPON GAIA and for Gaia herself. God Bless Everyone.
What an incredible transformation, she looks amazing. I am in awe of the amazing work you guys do to give these beautiful animals the life they deserve 🥰
Hi again JULIE What an awesome recovery with Anna! You've done a terrific job rehabing her with your special TLC. It's unimaginable to see how anyone would let the gentle giants of the horse world deteriorate like that. It's hundreds of pounds of lost weight and ignored injuries and other trauma. Heartfelt thank yous for all you do. Thx so much for the update. Looking forward to seeing you again next time.
I'm so happy that you are letting Anna's mane and tail grow out. I think it makes her look more like a mare not like a stallion who is all neck. It's amazing that it has taken a year for her to get to look as good as she is right now. ❤ Thank you for doing everything that you do and all the courage that it takes to be out in the weather where it is so hot or so cold to feed and care for them
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support! All the horses that come in with short manes and tails we will always allow them to grow and never cut them back again.
Why do the workhorses always have to have their tails docked so short? It would seem like they have so much sweat from working that they would want them to be able to have their tail and their mane to be able to swat or shake their mane to get rid of flies, horse flies or yellow jackets.
God bless you & crew for adopting these magnificent horses, loving them, nursing their health & giving them a fantastic retirement & home sweet home! AirHugs❤
It breaks my heart to see these wonderful animals so mistreated. Thank you for rescuing these beautiful horses. They deserve so much better....I'm glad she's going to finally get some loving care 😢
Anna is adorable Julie, they are all adorable. You have done so well in the care and transformation with Anna. I love the way you talk to all the horses. I can tell that they are all so loved. ❤
That's just terrible. So cruel. So glad you rescued her. What a difference in her a year later! Wonderful and thank you for your kindness and compassion for a defenseless animal.💔/💖
She is getting so much better with your help thank you saving a beautiful mare who deserves to be there with you I know that she appreciates everything you have done for her. I'm super excited that she's going to have a wonderful beautiful life for now on . Thank you and all whom tries their best to save our beautiful horses from being killed or made to suffer from ppl who have no reasons to have any type of animals U know sometimes I wish that the court system would punish the people whom did horrible things too any animals . If they starved them then the people got to be starved , any sort of abusement that person should have done to them . If anyone hurts an Animal and what ever there crime was they should be done the same. Animals doesn't deserve us .
Hello Julie i'm so glad to see this wonderful Lady. I remember the first video about her and your tears when you said : only skin and bones. It's so great to see people like you and Corey helping this poor horses. The most sadness - we can see this torture and awful treatment all over the world. I wish you the best don't stop the compassion best regards from Black Forest ❤ Germany
Anna’s face is so feminine. Belgians have really beautiful heads with big soft,expressive, eyes. How anyone could use and abuse these animals into early graves, literally, is beyond me. All the draft breeds are gentle giants indeed. Please kiss her velvet-soft muzzle for 😘 from ❤an old lady whose first horse looked as bad as Anna. Sending love ❤from Washington in the beautiful PacNW. 🏖️ 🏔️ 🌲🌲 🌅 ❄️ 🌊🌵
@@Mostly_Sunny007 I wonder the same thing everyday! I have no idea how people can abuse animals. I will definitely giver her a kiss for you! Thank you for watching! WE appreciate you!
We are a Therapeutic Horsemanship Facility. We have a few donated horses who needed rehab in one way or another. We have found that time & patience are the best healers. Bless you all for your important work!!
I also worked with a Belgian mare @ a different Therapeutic facility. Most of the volunteers there didn't want to handle her because she could be stubborn. I liked her even though she had a mind of her own. We became very close. I'll never forget her!!
This was food for the horse soul. I'm glad Anna loves her "horse cereal (Alfa Pro)" 😁 Thank you for sharing and brightening my life with these stories. 💞🐎🙏✌️🌻🇺🇲
the worse thing you can do to any animal is not to abuse/neglect but it is to BREAK their hearts and trust. your souls are so pure and full of love, i thank you for rescuing these creatures and for restoring their faith in humanity
Thank you for watching! We truly appreciate your support! It brought a smile to my face to hear that you are wearing Grandpa! Thank you for participating in our fundraiser!
It's sad that somebody got her pregnant let her have a baby being old and starved and then took her baby away from her of course. The sadness and grief and abuses animals experience at the hands of some disreputable irresponsible cruel humans is really disgusting and sad and pathetic and I'm so grateful for kind people who are totally selfless and in the service of these animals it's just so amazing. Thank you so much.
You are a real Angel!! I love your great work so much, saving, caring and loving this poor horses! Drafts are so sweet and gentle. Love you from the Netherlands. ❤
You do such a wonderful job of caring for your rescues! Lovely to see Anna's transformation. You are a wonderful giver and making such a difference!!❤❤❤❤
There is a wonderful movie called "Ladyhawke", with a teenage Mathew Broderick and Rutger Hauer. A magnificent black Belgian Draft Horse canters down the aisle of a Cathedral towards the King. It is a sight to behold. Not something you would forget. Then I see this channel, and I wish for the day when all blessing are given to this proud companion.
Anna looks like a completely different horse. She is very beautiful and doing so well. I just wish you had been able to get her foal too. You and your Husband are Angels with the work you do. Anna looks so good, happy and enjoying life. Just watching her get a wee bit cross with the donkey at feeding time, perhaps she had to fight to get any food from where she was. These people that are so very cruel to these gentle giants are evil. Blessings to all at Fletcher Farms in Amarillo 🙏🙏🌠💗
Ty you for sharing she is so beautiful and her little tail is starting to grow back I don't see how or why people do that to something so beautiful and innocent
People can be rotten. I can't understand people who neglect and abuse these beautiful animals! Anna's adorable! What a sweetheart! I'm so glad she's ok.
Thanks for helping Anna, Finn and all the others... incredible how Anna was looking at the beginning and how she looks today! 👍🏽❤️ I am sorry for the foal...
I can't believe how Anna improved over a short time. She is a gorgeous gorgeous horse. Now she looks so happy and not defeated. God bless you for saving her and save her the horrors of slaughter! ❤✝️
Anna has been my favorite Belgian rescue. She is sweet, beautiful and kind. I was so happy to read of her progress. Anna is so beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful work you do saving these horses from slaughter. You are a saint!
I had no idea that their hay and grain cost so much...the alfalfa pellets and the amount that you go through on a daily basis is incredible! Now I know why you stress that when I was thinking I would like to send you money for the vet but it's incredible how much their feed for a horse cost everyday and especially in winter time when they're not out in the paddocks eating fresh GR grass.
Thank you for your support! That is why we started the non profit. Cory works a full time job and I take care of the farm. We knew we needed support to help with the cost of rescuing more horses. Everyone has been so generous and we can't thank you all enough for your support!
It was nice to get an update on Anna, she's looking great. I hope you do this kind of segment for your other success stories. You have so many now it can be hard to keep track.
Thank you! I am working on update for everyone. I really should have done a Freya update next because we got her before Anna 🤦♀️ But those are coming! Stay tuned!
Da da Da…. As the Horse World Turns…. Will Finn stay with Anna? Will Fraya win his heart?? Who is the new guy?? What will happen next?? 😂😂 I love your channel! ❤ ❤ Your horses are so beautiful and lucky to have you!
🤣 Cory thinks I need to put a spin the channel and have All My Mares. It's so funny to watch them with other horses every other day. Thank you for watching and following our story. We appreciate you!
How someone could starve an animal is beyond me. There are rescues this person could have contacted. I’d go without food myself before I let that happen my dogs. She’s a beautiful color.
I just don't undesrtand how people can be so so awful to animals. I am so glad you got her. I feel for all the others that suffer and and no one cares about.
She was starved when you rescued her so I can understand why she didn't want to share food. Gosh, wish I could be there to groom her.❤
I love Anna. Dorothy I am sure you would be wonderful. I was thinking the same thing. This girl has suffered too much. She deserves to be pampered everyday. I would treat her to a nice soothing bathe everyday. She needs more one on one attention.
Unconditional love. It’s there, you just have to open your eyes. So glad that this lovely horse was saved.

Boycott all Amish products that will send a message to the Amish very quickly we won’t tolerate cruelty to Animals buy a tractor and stop the Animal abuse!!
Anna has such a darling cute face
@@Sparrow.in.the.treetop you are pointing out a certain people group/culture and accusing them unjustly; ALL people are capable of neglect and you are incorrect to name only a certain group.
Beautiful halter! Does Anna justice for her great looks. Restoring trust is a long road, Fletcher Farms takes the step-by-step effort to bring that trust back to the abused, neglected, abandoned horses.The public at large is unaware of the fate of horses in the United States. Fletcher Farms makes my day better, we all have a voice, we all can do something, the small gifts add up. We are the shepherds of this earth.
We most certainly are the shepherds of this Earth. We have been given an amazing planet, with a complete and beautiful "garden". We are responsible for the welfare of ALL LIFE UPON GAIA and for Gaia herself. God Bless Everyone.
👍 Halter cause I where I ,got it for him😅😊
❤❤❤😊
Doing good 👍 thanks 🙏 😊
Just a little bit of help gos a long way weather is for human or animals in need❤😊
Thank you for rescuing Anna! I can't stand people that abuse horses/animals!
What an incredible transformation, she looks amazing. I am in awe of the amazing work you guys do to give these beautiful animals the life they deserve 🥰
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate your support!
Poorly used sweet animal. Thank u 4 giving this horse soul a life she desevers
Hi again JULIE
What an awesome recovery with Anna! You've done a terrific job rehabing her with your special TLC. It's unimaginable to see how anyone would let the gentle giants of the horse world deteriorate like that. It's hundreds of pounds of lost weight and ignored injuries and other trauma.
Heartfelt thank yous for all you do.
Thx so much for the update. Looking forward to seeing you again next time.
How about getting Anna a baby donkey 🫏
Aw! What a happily-ever-after story! She looks so much better and is enjoying her horse life on your sweet ranch!
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support.
I'm so happy that you are letting Anna's mane and tail grow out. I think it makes her look more like a mare not like a stallion who is all neck. It's amazing that it has taken a year for her to get to look as good as she is right now.
❤ Thank you for doing everything that you do and all the courage that it takes to be out in the weather where it is so hot or so cold to feed and care for them
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support! All the horses that come in with short manes and tails we will always allow them to grow and never cut them back again.
Why do the workhorses always have to have their tails docked so short? It would seem like they have so much sweat from working that they would want them to be able to have their tail and their mane to be able to swat or shake their mane to get rid of flies, horse flies or yellow jackets.
@@staceyhunt5342 the Amish cut their tails if they are pulling equipment so their tails don’t get caught up in it.
God bless you & crew for adopting these magnificent horses, loving them, nursing their health & giving them a fantastic retirement & home sweet home! AirHugs❤
So good to see the recovery. Thank you for all you do!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and for your kind words. We appreciate your support.
It breaks my heart to see these wonderful animals so mistreated. Thank you for rescuing these beautiful horses. They deserve so much better....I'm glad she's going to finally get some loving care 😢
Anna is adorable Julie, they are all adorable. You have done so well in the care and transformation with Anna. I love the way you talk to all the horses. I can tell that they are all so loved. ❤
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate the kind words and support! Thank you for watching!
That's just terrible. So cruel. So glad you rescued her. What a difference in her a year later! Wonderful and thank you for your kindness and compassion for a defenseless animal.💔/💖
You guys are doing a great job.blessing to u and the horses.
You are so kind! Thank you so much for watching! We appreciate your support!
She is getting so much better with your help thank you saving a beautiful mare who deserves to be there with you I know that she appreciates everything you have done for her. I'm super excited that she's going to have a wonderful beautiful life for now on . Thank you and all whom tries their best to save our beautiful horses from being killed or made to suffer from ppl who have no reasons to have any type of animals U know sometimes I wish that the court system would punish the people whom did horrible things too any animals . If they starved them then the people got to be starved , any sort of abusement that person should have done to them . If anyone hurts an Animal and what ever there crime was they should be done the same. Animals doesn't deserve us .
Hello Julie i'm so glad to see this wonderful Lady. I remember the first video about her and your tears when you said : only skin and bones. It's so great to see people like you and Corey helping this poor horses. The most sadness - we can see this torture and awful treatment all over the world. I wish you the best don't stop the compassion best regards from Black Forest ❤ Germany
Thank you so much for the kind words. We appreciate your support. I wish I could save them all!
Anna’s face is so feminine. Belgians have really beautiful heads with big soft,expressive, eyes. How anyone could use and abuse these animals into early graves, literally, is beyond me. All the draft breeds are gentle giants indeed. Please kiss her velvet-soft muzzle for 😘 from ❤an old lady whose first horse looked as bad as Anna. Sending love ❤from Washington in the beautiful PacNW. 🏖️ 🏔️ 🌲🌲 🌅 ❄️ 🌊🌵
@@Mostly_Sunny007 I wonder the same thing everyday! I have no idea how people can abuse animals. I will definitely giver her a kiss for you! Thank you for watching! WE appreciate you!
We are a Therapeutic Horsemanship Facility. We have a few donated horses who needed rehab in one way or another. We have found that time & patience are the best healers. Bless you all for your important work!!
I also worked with a Belgian mare @ a different Therapeutic facility. Most of the volunteers there didn't want to handle her because she could be stubborn. I liked her even though she had a mind of her own. We became very close. I'll never forget her!!
This was food for the horse soul. I'm glad Anna loves her "horse cereal (Alfa Pro)" 😁 Thank you for sharing and brightening my life with these stories. 💞🐎🙏✌️🌻🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it! Our pleasure. Thank you for watching and following our journey!
You guys are all incredible doing a wonderful job with all these beautiful horses. Thank you for the update.
Thank you so much for watching! WE appreciate your support!
the worse thing you can do to any animal is not to abuse/neglect but it is to BREAK their hearts and trust.
your souls are so pure and full of love, i thank you for rescuing these creatures and for restoring their faith in humanity
Thank you for her update! Episode 70!!! Already! 😱 How fast time flies! 🎉💕🐴
I know!! Time definately flies by! So much happening!
May God truly bless you for all that you do honey.
You are truly this sweet girls angel and I praise God for that.
Thank you for giving these horses so much love ❤️ She has a twinkle in her eye now! PS- I’m wearing Grandpa’s face on my shirt…
Thank you for watching! We truly appreciate your support! It brought a smile to my face to hear that you are wearing Grandpa! Thank you for participating in our fundraiser!
It's sad that somebody got her pregnant let her have a baby being old and starved and then took her baby away from her of course. The sadness and grief and abuses animals experience at the hands of some disreputable irresponsible cruel humans is really disgusting and sad and pathetic and I'm so grateful for kind people who are totally selfless and in the service of these animals it's just so amazing. Thank you so much.
Julie, y'all do such a beautiful job loving and rehabbing these horses! Thank you! I don't understand how others can be so mean to all animals...
Thank you so much! I don't understand either how people can be mean to horses.
People can be mean, cruel and nasty to other people, all animals and life because they are disconnected from their heart and Soul.
So glad you are rescuing these beautiful hoses. I always wanted to live on a farm with a couple horses.
You are a real Angel!! I love your great work so much, saving, caring and loving this poor horses! Drafts are so sweet and gentle. Love you from the Netherlands. ❤
You do such a wonderful job of caring for your rescues! Lovely to see Anna's transformation. You are a wonderful giver and making such a difference!!❤❤❤❤
Fantastic results!!!!!!!!❤😊
Thank you! 😊 She is doing fantastic and we couldn't be happier for her!
There is a wonderful movie called "Ladyhawke", with a teenage Mathew Broderick and Rutger Hauer. A magnificent black Belgian Draft Horse canters down the aisle of a Cathedral towards the King. It is a sight to behold. Not something you would forget. Then I see this channel, and I wish for the day when all blessing are given to this proud companion.
Anna looks like a completely different horse. She is very beautiful and doing so well. I just wish you had been able to get her foal too. You and your Husband are Angels with the work you do. Anna looks so good, happy and enjoying life. Just watching her get a wee bit cross with the donkey at feeding time, perhaps she had to fight to get any food from where she was. These people that are so very cruel to these gentle giants are evil. Blessings to all at Fletcher Farms in Amarillo 🙏🙏🌠💗
Ty you for sharing she is so beautiful and her little tail is starting to grow back I don't see how or why people do that to something so beautiful and innocent
What a beautiful sight ❤
Thank you! We are so glad we were able to help save her and give her the life she deserves.
Hello, pretty Anna! We’re all pulling for you! You guys are the best! So much respect and love your way.❤️
Be a sweet girl!
Such a beautiful face , why starve, I do not understand how people can be so cruel.
Keep up the good work X X X
I ask myself those same questions everyday! I pray for change for all the abused animals. They deserve better.
I love this thank God for people like you all saving poor babies that have been neglected. Love Anna she is just beautiful! Keep the videos coming❤
Thank you for the kind words and support! WE appreciate it! Lots more coming! I need to do an update on Freya too! She has been here a year too!
Your (so called ) gawed let this lovely horse get into this condition.
The folks on this ranch saved her life.
Hi 👋 Julie and Corey! Anna has made such progress in 1 year. Thank you for resharing her story. She looks beautiful with her long mane and tail ! ❤❤❤
Thank you! She really had made an amazing transformation. She's such a sweet girl!
People can be rotten. I can't understand people who neglect and abuse these beautiful animals! Anna's adorable! What a sweetheart! I'm so glad she's ok.
I completely agree, I don’t understand why people do the things they do to animals.
Thanks for helping Anna, Finn and all the others... incredible how Anna was looking at the beginning and how she looks today! 👍🏽❤️ I am sorry for the foal...
Thank God for you❤❤❤😊
Great job with Anna-She looks great!
Thank you!
My pastures of beautiful grass in Alabama would have really helped this elderly horse. Glad to see people caring for these special draft horses.
God Bless your hard work of bringing her life around💋💋💋🙏👏☮️❣️
Thank you so much for your support! We truly appreciate it!
I can't believe how Anna improved over a short time. She is a gorgeous gorgeous horse. Now she looks so happy and not defeated. God bless you for saving her and save her the horrors of slaughter! ❤✝️
Such a beautiful girl. Thank you so much for taking great care of her. God bless you!!!
You are so kind! Thank you for watching and supporting what we are doing. We truly appreciate it!
So glad Anna came to you.I enjoyed watching her eyes change from lost to relaxed and content.
So glad Anna came through and she is looking so super. You have a great setup for these wonderful Belgian horses
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support.
It’s always lovely to see how much you take care of all the horses in your care. You are such a lovely lady. Eileen and Brian U.K x
Anna looks sopretty with her mane grown out, I stillsee such a serious look inherent eyes, I hope that she is happy,,you at fletcher are wonderful..
Anna has been my favorite Belgian rescue. She is sweet, beautiful and kind. I was so happy to read of her progress. Anna is so beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful work you do saving these horses from slaughter. You are a saint!
Thank you for the kind words and support! We truly appreciate you following our journey!
Hi Julie, I have such admiration for everything you and Corey do in caring for these beautiful horses. ❤🇬🇧
Thank you for watching! WE appreciate your support!
Thank you thank you for helping Anna. The Lord will help you for your kindness. 😍😘
I had no idea that their hay and grain cost so much...the alfalfa pellets and the amount that you go through on a daily basis is incredible!
Now I know why you stress that when I was thinking I would like to send you money for the vet but it's incredible how much their feed for a horse cost everyday and especially in winter time when they're not out in the paddocks eating fresh GR grass.
Thank you for your support! That is why we started the non profit. Cory works a full time job and I take care of the farm. We knew we needed support to help with the cost of rescuing more horses. Everyone has been so generous and we can't thank you all enough for your support!
Ana is so sweet & calm , thankyou so much for saving her......🐴🐎❤
👋Gidday from Australia
It was nice to get an update on Anna, she's looking great. I hope you do this kind of segment for your other success stories. You have so many now it can be hard to keep track.
Thank you! I am working on update for everyone. I really should have done a Freya update next because we got her before Anna 🤦♀️ But those are coming! Stay tuned!
I grew up in Wichita Falls, Tx, just down the road... This is like a home comming video to me.
You are an angel for a Starved Belgian Draft Horse. God bless.
She looks so beautiful 😍 so sweet . Thank you for saving her.
Da da Da…. As the Horse World Turns…. Will Finn stay with Anna? Will Fraya win his heart?? Who is the new guy?? What will happen next?? 😂😂 I love your channel! ❤ ❤ Your horses are so beautiful and lucky to have you!
🤣 Cory thinks I need to put a spin the channel and have All My Mares. It's so funny to watch them with other horses every other day. Thank you for watching and following our story. We appreciate you!
@@FletcherFarmsAmarillo maybe a couple of crossover channels! All My Mares, and As The Horses Turn….😂😂💕
I'm thinkin there's a couple of country western songs out there in the pasture.
@@rachealsmith5138 Oh thats too funny! Might be something for future episodes! 🤣
@@rt3box6tx74 you are absolutely right! 🤣
I have had a lot of bad days and nights and your video made me feel a bit better. Thankyou. My Regards Mr. Dominic James Austin.
How someone could starve an animal is beyond me. There are rescues this person could have contacted. I’d go without food myself before I let that happen my dogs. She’s a beautiful color.
Agreed! It's so sad what some animals go through. But she is save now and will only know love and kindness for the rest of her life.
What a beautiful girl! Thank you for rescuing this wonderful horse! Your total love is hearwarming!
Thank you so much!
