Thank you HPHS, HRH and HPV for saving these precious horses from a horrible death in Mexico, and for giving those that are suffering, the Last Act of Kindness when their owners threw them away! 🌈🙏🏻❤️
@@rosegarden9575agree. Better for both parties. More so the horses. This way they do not go through all that? But I am not for sure where the horses are coming from? Is it someone buying horses at the auction and bringing them to horse plus?
Yes beautiful eyes, but that poor thing with the broken front leg. I just don’t get how cruel these horse owners are, to let this suffering to continue!
And to keep it going through the auction process for over a year with its leg like that was just horrific. It beggars belief at the cruelty that people put animals through.❤❤❤🙌🏻
Amish. I believe for all their pious holier than thou attitudes towards the “world “ God is reserving the hottest parts of hell for them. My humble opinion
Damn straight, my mom used to raise horses in one time we left one of her prize horses named dynasty at one of her friends house and we came back and he was in 6 inches of shit and piss and he was little underweight. My mom flipped the hell out, and she got a lawyer. I’ll never forget that and dynasty was all white with polkadot black spots. 29:32
It would be interesting to find out who owned this horse and allowed it to go on suffering. There are times when I can't watch for long as my feelings towards people like that are not good.....
Haven't gotten that far yet in video, but perhaps former Amish Horse, the Draft horse in bad condition. Alot of Draft horses Horse Plus gets in bad condition are former Amish owned horses.
And this is one tiny segment, in one area, that we watch the cruelty these animals endure. Can you just picture, just multiply that by all the states, and all the access routes out of country, and the long pipelines that are in place? I’m just so darn grateful for you all. So very grateful.
@wolfmare50 The first of every month there is a slaughter auction in Bowie TX. This is where a lot of these horses after being dragged around the country by kill buyers go. It is one of the main direct ship auctions to Mexico. You will see these horses there. Legs dangling, eyes gauged out, horrible emaciated old horses, but you will also see perfectly healthy fat horses that go there as well. It's a horrible fact that exists in this country. End slaughter. End slaughter transport. Support real rescues and sanctuaries.
I follow also a few others rescues like ASIAB who goes once a month to Bowie Texas and that is also horrific what you get to see how owners or traders bring there horses or donkeys there in horrible conditions. Also others rescues in different states give every time the same views and if you see that you really are thinking how and why it’s possible that’s it’s allowed, and that owners or traders are not jailed!
They gave the numbers a while back, 300 a week or 1200 a month go to Mexico. For this quarter based on my bad math off RUclips videos they're close to 60 horses a month to horse plus not Mexico, that's 5%, they are close to making an impact the industry will feel
Tawnee said they do not use donations collected for rescues for lunch. That’s why she said call the office to donate for food for the staff. These employees deserve the best food due to how much they do!
Personally, think the buyout program is better than going to the auction and trying to buy them because they into your facility and they can immediately get help, stop the stress, find relief, find peace. In my humble opinion, this is the best rescue anywhere. I believe having been a horse person my whole life, this is how you rescue, and the work that you do makes a huge difference. This is no small drop in the bucket you not only rescue the horses and other animals too, you also go to Washington and fight for change. You’re full circle philosophy truly shows in this way thank you horse plus
Dr Lydia is so knowledgeable and I love how she describes every detail it is the # 1 reason I keep coming back. You can see her love and compassion into being a Veterinarian. Thank you to everyone else who works at horse plus as well. I see how much everyone learns ands grows over time. I will be donating periodically throughout the year.
I'm thinking back to the days when there wasn't even one in-house (er, in-stable?) vet. Doc would come out for the day, & he was fantastic---but to have 2 veterinarians, fully qualified, young & energetic & so knowledgeable---what a blessing that is! So many people working so hard together! Cory hoping Dr. Gina doesn't slip with the horse dental (should he have, like, a helmet?), everyone giving their all for these horses, whether it's fixing their troubles, or giving them the last few minutes of comfort before they are moved on to the next thing---you are all amazing!
Just tragic. They are all so skinny. Domesticated animals are the responsibility of humans and humans have failed these horses. Veterinary care and end of life care are the responsibilities of horse owners. They deserved better. Thank you for being there for them, to save or to ease them over the rainbow bridge. 🐴❤
So exciting to see the new ultrasound in action! Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina looked like kids on Christmas morning. I'm just so impressed with how your organizations adapts and grows to meet every new challenge.
I'm so sorry that Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina have to deal with such immediate emergencies and yet so grateful for their compassion. When I saw the look on Troy's face, I wanted to come through the phone and give him a hug. Please, hang in there Troy, you do an incredible job!
It was sad the way they got off the trailer and all they wanted to do was eat the green grass. They didn't want to go any further than where they landed!
It was very fortunate that you had fewer horses today so Dr Lydia and Dr Gena could try out the ultrasound. They were able to use it on a variety of different cases in a more relaxed manner that will give them a better feel for its capacity. I also love to see other members of the team trying and learning new things so more of the staff is cross trained. I will say watching Dr Lydia diving into horses mouths and grabbing their tongue I definitely get images of her working with the elephants. I’m so glad she’s at HPHS full time now.
I thank you for doing what their owners should have treated them for instead of throwing them away and getting paid for them. It's heartbreaking seeing what you have to deal with, I'm so glad that you are able to help them even if it's only possible to give them their wings. ❤❤❤sending you Hugs and love and prayers ❤❤❤
Corey, thank you for your shoulder. Such a gift to Horse Plus. Your height your strength and your gentleness. Everyone brings their special talent and compassion. I thank you all so much. Praise God for looking after these animals with hearts for your jobs. 🙏
Horse+ hit the jackpot when you ended up with Dr. Gina and Dr. Lydia! They work very well together and can really accomplish a lot together. And then there's Kory. He da man!! What doesn't he do? What hasn't he done? Everyone, from the office staff to the assistants to the barn staff. Everyone, and I mean eveyone does just a fabulous job! These horses that come in are so blessed. Even if they get the last act of kindness, they're loved before they go to sleep with a full belly. Thanks everybody. For your kindness!
We have to get the laws changed in general about all animals. Cruelty should be a for real jail sentence. It's not easy and you can see what rescue groups go thru...
I greatly admire and RESPECT and very much love that you are helping these horses. I'm sorry I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes. Can't stop crying.... sorry. Thank you thank you--- and any way I could donate to help please let me know. 😭
You can donate supplies, or money, to them to help the horses, or you can call the team care fund to buy them lunch and other refreshments during the intake.
These almost live sessions are very informative although so very sad to see the horrible conditions of some of t these horses. It's almost like being there. No one could imagine the amount of work that goes into this process by so many people . Wonderful you have the equipment to diagnose so thoroughly. Thank you all!!!
I think horse plus getting banned from the Auction is the best thing to have happened as it’s enabling you to rescue an save so many more horses than you would otherwise be able to save at auction’s so they have not stopped you as much as they tried to so one up for horse plus thank you for saving so many precious lives xxxx❤
Ich sitze hier und weine 😭 Wie kann man nur soo lange zusehen wie ein Pferd mit gebrochenem Bein leben muss. Danke an euch dafür das ihr so vielen Pferden helfen könnt.❤ RESPEKT
Sad though it is the knowledge they are gaining will be invaluable and will be of help to future horses.. it is shocking that they end up in the state they are in. I despair of the humans…..
I've been watching you for years and have been amazed at how far you have come. I've been able to give small donations, but it's so great that others are helping fund your larger projects. So gratifying that there are people that have been able to fund you in so many ways and help you grow. God bless you and your mission.
Oh my! Hunter is so adorable! Timber, blooming Eck! Lovely to see him galloping on those wonky legs! And the beautiful nurse mares, they are absolute saints to raise those babies, ❣️
OMG the draft with the broken leg breaks my heart..Bless you for saving them from a horrific out come..even if they dont all make it..their last moments will be with people who cared for them..How the hell do people let their horses get like this and not care?
I can't believe I'm watching your show it's so hard to see the condition of these horses. But what keeps me watching is the adoptions. Great job you do
Dr. Lydia and Dr Gina, I'm so glad you're there to help the worst and painful horses. I can't imagine the pain some must be in. It breaks my heart. Jason, you feel especially sorrowful for the draft with the broken leg. I can hear it in your voice. The staff is great. All are working in their jobs to get the horses what they need. Thank you all for the work you do.
No words for the draft with the broken leg. I don't know how people can let that happen. Poor sweetie. Someday they will be standing before the Maker. Explain how this happened and why you left it go on so long! Stoic Tony, don't see much emotion, but this look on his face made me cry. How you deal, I don't know. God Bless you all!
the draft horse knows that he is being helped. these horses cooperate because they know they are in a safe space even though some get a final act of kindness (unalived). much better for them to pass with love and compassion. 🙏🏼♥️🐴
Yes Twanee a law has to be passed not allowing horses that are physically damaged, suffering in pain and just being dumped in trucks. What a horrendous nightmare standing long hours cripple, blind, snotty all cramped up from auction to auction for the last bit of money they can get out of them and finally to slaughter, how shameful. What persecution these beautiful sentient beings have to endure.😢 So inhumane and the guilty are just allowed to get away scot free.😡 They arrive at Horse plus rescue totally broken with obvious signs of abuse and severe neglect.😢 Every human will one day have to answer for their wicked deeds. People in Goverment wake up, how long must this go on for?😔
Oh those poor poor babies! Thank god you have them. They have probably haven't have pain killers in ages. It's heartbreaking what people can and will do to these beautiful creatures.
You all are a special team sent from Heaven to love and care for all the animals that you receive in. Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina, thank you for your expertise and compassion. ❤
You all worked so hard. Wonderful people to keep at helping horses in pain. The new ultrasound is great! You can make better decisions faster. It is shocking how many horses have been living in pain for so long. You are all good people.
It breaks my heart to think of some of the misery some of these poor horses have had to endure, due to heartless owners who only see them as moneymakers right up to the end. While it is sad that some of them will need to put down, the silver lining is that their suffering will finally be over. I guess we can only rejoice for the horses who have been spared the slaughter, who will find loving homes, thanks to Horse Plus's efforts to save them. God bless all who help save these beautiful animals and to the horses themselves.
It doesn't stop being sad watching the terrible conditions of these horses are in? Truck load after truck load, week after week, where do these poor animals come from? Edit to add: 13:45 Tawnee, my sentiments exactly.
Even tho you sometimes have to give them the last act of kindness, you atleast show them love and compassion in their last moments. i'm so happy for all the horses that have gotten into your care. you are doing a great job
Oh Jason, you do such a good job showing us around……explaining all you can about these special lucky horses that your associates……your co workers, are trying to help. I’m not calling them employees because the people that are in the intake barn, helping each other, work so well together and YOU and TAWNEE (sp??) get right in the middle to help if needed. You get 5 STARS!
Poor horses all of you work so hard and show so much kindness to them thank you so much. I cannot imagine what it’s like in person as it is hard to watch by video.
Yay, I love almost lives!! Even though they usually make me really sad 😞 I’m also SO happy and relieved that all the animals ended up with you where, if they need it, they’ll get a dignified and painless end 😁🤩🥰😘
That poor draft horse. His leg was so bad. It actually made me sick to my stomach.. Needless to say there wasnt any yuck to be seen. But the pain that he had to feel turned my belly. I also heard the GI liquid gurgle in my earbud! 😂Your one awesome team.. Individually having such pure loving souls that shine! Your so lucky having two Amazing Vets! I love when Dr Lydia, gets excited over nastiness like a abcess! 😂 You can always tell when she is in her element! Her zone is solid, Her vocabulary becomes foreign to those not in the medical field!. She is unstoppable!! I’ll be the first to say that’s HOT!! So to all those ladies that are searching for their purpose or place, in need of a goal with guidence. Dr Gina is a pefect example of a woman that has earned her class honestly and damn sure worked hard doing so!
Just so sad the abuse these horses go through and for so long. There are many more out there. Kudos to all for doing what you do. The extra diagnostic equipment will be a game changer.
These precious ones are FINALLY receiving the TLC they so desperately have needed for far too long. It's so heartbreaking that anyone could just let them suffer like they were. THANK YOU HPHS for ALL that you do for them!!! I hope they feel the love.
Thank you for such wonderful diagnostics and the professional team. When a horse makes its way to Horse Plus, it’s their best day no matter the health condition. I like to imagine there is a future where every animal is respected and loved as the beautiful being it is.
That poor draft horse with the obviously broken leg. What sort of monster would transport a horse with an injury like that? Obviously he's getting a good dose of pain meds, sedation, and the last act of kindness with loving people around him. That new ultrasound unit seems so much more convenient to use. Now you have both good views of bones and good views of soft tissue.
Eigentlich müsste Gott jedem Pferd Flügel geben damit sie vor der Bestie Mensch davon fliegen können. Soviel arme Seelen die ihr Leid so lange stillschweigend ertragen. Schämt euch! Es ist so ein Glück das ihr von Horse Plus diese armen Pferdeseelen rettet. Tawnee du hast etwas sehr grosses erschaffen. Auch wenn viele Pferde eingeschläfert werden seid ihr die letzte Rettung. Ich liebe euch alle und ihr macht einen tollen Job.
That poor draft. How horrible that must be to see him in person. You guys are angels of mercy for these wounded creatures. How he could be like this for years is evil at a level I just don't understand.
Im sitting in tears ….😢 I don’t comprehend why the previous owner doesnt get that fixing an injury early doors actually saves them money …..especially as the horse is still young …..what is wrong with their mentality? Tammy what can we do from the uk to help put pressure on your government to change the laws?
I mean, honestly God, I I feel sorry for every horse that comes in there that’s sick hurt sad my heart breaks every time I see your videos. I’ve been starting to watch your videos for the past three months now I’ve watched a lot of your videos. I’m almost finished watching your videos that you have on RUclips. I’ve stayed up nights days and I love what you guys do. You’re awesome recently I just found out, but I have cancer. I’m fighting as much as I can, but if God takes me, my wish is to come and see you guys that’s what I want before I go my wish is to go and see you And shake your hand give you a big hug and a big kiss because what you do is amazing you’re awesome everyone of you guys there I live in Florida. I live in Arcadia Florida. I’ve got a couple guys a couple friends to watch your videos. they’re like in there they cry a lot. They text me and they tell me this is awesome. What they do so I wanna throw out a big love and kiss and a hug to everyone of you guys. You’re amazing you’re awesome, but like I said, I wanna come and see you and hold these horses and tell them that everything’s gonna be OK but I know sometimes it’s not OK and I break down and I cry so much right now I’m crying. I love you guys. You’re awesome. Keep up the good work.
Hello from Australia. Tim Tam biscuits are legendary and a suitable reward for all your good work. Re the donkeys from the previous clip: there is an organisation in the UK called The Donkey Sanctuary which has info on its website about respiratory diseases for owners and for professionals. They also do research. May be useful if the US doesn't have such an organisation
Thank you for the almost live! Sad to read in the update email that many of the horses from the first trailer had so many awful medical problems that they had to have the last act of kindness. I'm just glad you guys were there to give them love before saying goodbye
@ about 21:00 min in, referencing scraping the pens and removing manure ... Have you contacted any local farmers who have large fields of crops? Maybe they'd be willing to come get that manure to work into their fields? Then, everybody wins. Just a thought.
Thank you SO much to all who donate, from those of us who cannot and wish we could. Seeing and hearing about your donations of time, funds, equipment warms my heart in ways I cannot describe. Will keep helping to spread the word.
so heart breaking to see so many in such bad condition. Really really can not understand how people could let their horses get in such terrible condition.
❤❤❤❤❤You all are just wonderful, caring, giving, loving people! God Bless, all of you! I loved watching all the hard work, you all do! I was so sad for all the poor, hurt horses!😮😮😮😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I sure wish that I was rich, because I would have bought, everything you guys needed!😊 THANK YOU, SO MUCH, FOR SAVING AND HELPING , THESE LUCKY HORSES!❤❤❤❤❤ From Springfield, MO😊
Thank you all for doing God's work, for all the horses you get are truly blessed. Thank you so much for sharing. I have been a very long-time watcher of your posts and enjoy watching. Have a nice safe day!!!
You are their last hope so that they don't have to suffer anymore if they are critical. God bless you for saving the horses you save. And may God bless them all, 💔💕🐎
This is so heart breaking. How cruel to work these beautiful horses to such terrible conditions. Thank you so much for your care and kind consideration for these wonderful horses.🙏
safe act for horses. this is one of the tangibles we need to ask for starting with congress. horses are sentient beings. kind and beautiful. there is a special spirituality about horses and this is being done to the injured is horrendous. thank you for helping them ❤
I love watching the channel back to basics and showing what you all are dealing with. The team you have is amazing. We have not forgotten about those loved ones that are not appearing right now. Prayers go out to them😢. It is amazing having the vets there and I pray they stay❤
I just want to say that you guys are amazing for what you do I watch you guys all the time I wish you guys would look closer because I would love to volunteer my time and help you guys and grooming horses and showing them love and getting them used to people I was raised around a Hackney
Love the almost live, thank you Jason. It's a great behind the scenes vlog. Thanks to Dr Gina and Dr Lydia for your hard work. I love seeing you both so excited about the new toys!
Dr Lydia...you are such an incredible teacher! Very easy to understand. I have learned so much from her. I pray that she stays. Love her. Would also love to eat as she does because she is in perfect shape. put me on your diet lol!
I don’t know what the answer is, but the fact is that we have more horses than we have homes for. My personal opinion is that the answer is to regulate the slaughter process to make it humane.
Taking away the responsibility people need to have for the animals in their possession is NOT the answer. If a person brings an injured, debilitated horse to an auction it should result in the person being investigated and if appropriate charged with animal cruelty. What they're getting away with is criminal and inhuman beyond words! Just as building bigger dog and cat shelters is NOT the answer to pet overpopulation, slaughter is NOT the answer to unwanted horses. No matter how many improvements and regulations you put in place, slaughter is hideous and cruel! Somewhere along the way, humankind has embraced the idea that no one is responsible! That's pure horse$h*t!
I may sound callous and unkind, but members of the Amish community who work these horses to the point where injuries prevent them from even walking, must be brought up on felony animal abuse charges. Yes, there are good Amish farmers who do take care of their horses, but the level and severity of abuse and outright neglect must not be overlooked because of religious beliefs. No religion should EVER be allowed to inflict cruelty to the animals they own. I cannot comprehend the what you endure on a daily basis. Thank God your love of horses (and all animals!) transcends the mental agony you endure. Surely you are God's angels for the forgotten! I strongly urge everyone who can to donate. And don't forget to write, or call, your elected officials and urge them to support and get the SAFE Act passed. This senseless culture of cruelty cannot and SHOULD not continue. To do so is insanity!
Getting banned from the auction, is enabling you to help so many more really in need horses. Thank you for being there for them.
Thank you HPHS, HRH and HPV for saving these precious horses from a horrible death in Mexico, and for giving those that are suffering, the Last Act of Kindness when their owners threw them away! 🌈🙏🏻❤️
Kind of a blessing in disguise, Lyn. ❤️

One door closes and another better one opened.
No long drives, no hotel, and horses not exposed to diseases like before!
WIN!WIN!WIN!🎉

I totally agree.
And to keep it going through the auction process for over a year with its leg like that was just horrific. It beggars belief at the cruelty that people put animals through.❤❤❤🙌🏻
@@sarahwheeler1594 let's understand this those draft horses are Amish work horses that have been used up, abused and thrown away
I will never understand how anyone could ignore an injury so severe. Poor boy was in agony for years. This owner was evil.
Amish. I believe for all their pious holier than thou attitudes towards the “world “ God is reserving the hottest parts of hell for them. My humble opinion

That poor draft horse. The previous owner should be in jail. Bless ALL YOUR ❤ FOR WHAT YOU DO
Should be in jail, but slaughterhouse will not take them. They can get money not jail.😢

Very unrelated to the horses but I wanted to mention how cool Dr. Gina's tattoo of Princess Mononoke is. Didn't notice it until this video!

Who let's any animal let alone a beautiful big draft horse suffer like that. It's enough to make anyone cry....
Ich sitze hier und weine 😭
Wie kann man nur soo lange zusehen wie ein Pferd mit gebrochenem Bein leben muss.
Danke an euch dafür das ihr so vielen Pferden helfen könnt.❤
RESPEKT
Sad though it is the knowledge they are gaining will be invaluable and will be of help to future horses.. it is shocking that they end up in the state they are in. I despair of the humans…..
I've been watching you for years and have been amazed at how far you have come. I've been able to give small donations, but it's so great that others are helping fund your larger projects. So gratifying that there are people that have been able to fund you in so many ways and help you grow. God bless you and your mission.
Oh my! Hunter is so adorable!
Timber, blooming Eck! Lovely to see him galloping on those wonky legs! And the beautiful nurse mares, they are absolute saints to raise those babies, ❣️
OMG the draft with the broken leg breaks my heart..Bless you for saving them from a horrific out come..even if they dont all make it..their last moments will be with people who cared for them..How the hell do people let their horses get like this and not care?
I can't believe I'm watching your show it's so hard to see the condition of these horses. But what keeps me watching is the adoptions. Great job you do
Thanks for watching!
There have been bad cases but man this hits differently...
Hugs ❤️
Dr. Lydia and Dr Gina, I'm so glad you're there to help the worst and painful horses. I can't imagine the pain some must be in. It breaks my heart. Jason, you feel especially sorrowful for the draft with the broken leg. I can hear it in your voice. The staff is great. All are working in their jobs to get the horses what they need. Thank you all for the work you do.
No words for the draft with the broken leg. I don't know how people can let that happen. Poor sweetie. Someday they will be standing before the Maker. Explain how this happened and why you left it go on so long! Stoic Tony, don't see much emotion, but this look on his face made me cry. How you deal, I don't know. God Bless you all!
the draft horse knows that he is being helped. these horses cooperate because they know they are in a safe space even though some get a final act of kindness (unalived). much better for them to pass with love and compassion. 🙏🏼♥️🐴
Yes Twanee a law has to be passed not allowing horses that are physically damaged, suffering in pain and just being dumped in trucks. What a horrendous nightmare standing long hours cripple, blind, snotty all cramped up from auction to auction for the last bit of money they can get out of them and finally to slaughter, how shameful. What persecution these beautiful sentient beings have to endure.😢 So inhumane and the guilty are just allowed to get away scot free.😡 They arrive at Horse plus rescue totally broken with obvious signs of abuse and severe neglect.😢 Every human will one day have to answer for their wicked deeds. People in Goverment wake up, how long must this go on for?😔
It would be great to see the horses arrival photo alongside their adoption photo to see how much better they look
Oh those poor poor babies! Thank god you have them. They have probably haven't have pain killers in ages. It's heartbreaking what people can and will do to these beautiful creatures.
You all are a special team sent from Heaven to love and care for all the animals that you receive in.
Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina, thank you for your expertise and compassion. ❤
You all worked so hard. Wonderful people to keep at helping horses in pain. The new ultrasound is great! You can make better decisions faster. It is shocking how many horses have been living in pain for so long. You are all good people.
It breaks my heart to think of some of the misery some of these poor horses have had to endure, due to heartless owners who only see them as moneymakers right up to the end. While it is sad that some of them will need to put down, the silver lining is that their suffering will finally be over. I guess we can only rejoice for the horses who have been spared the slaughter, who will find loving homes, thanks to Horse Plus's efforts to save them. God bless all who help save these beautiful animals and to the horses themselves.
It doesn't stop being sad watching the terrible conditions of these horses are in? Truck load after truck load, week after week, where do these poor animals come from?
Edit to add: 13:45 Tawnee, my sentiments exactly.
Even tho you sometimes have to give them the last act of kindness, you atleast show them love and compassion in their last moments. i'm so happy for all the horses that have gotten into your care. you are doing a great job
Oh Jason, you do such a good job showing us around……explaining all you can about these special lucky horses that your associates……your co workers, are trying to help. I’m not calling them employees because the people that are in the intake barn, helping each other, work so well together and YOU and TAWNEE (sp??) get right in the middle to help if needed. You get 5 STARS!
Poor horses all of you work so hard and show so much kindness to them thank you so much. I cannot imagine what it’s like in person as it is hard to watch by video.
What kind of evil does it take to do this to animals? When is it going to stop? Thank you for helping in such a big way.
The almost live really shows us the work you can do when you get these horses❤❤❤❤thanks
I just love Dr. Lydia’s loving and gentle handling of the horses ❤, she is just wonderful / as everybody else at H.P.
Oh my gosh, this was hard to watch - I just wanted to cry - those sweet faces. GB Horse Plus Team - I appreciate all of you. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Yay, I love almost lives!! Even though they usually make me really sad 😞 I’m also SO happy and relieved that all the animals ended up with you where, if they need it, they’ll get a dignified and painless end 😁🤩🥰😘
That poor draft horse. His leg was so bad. It actually made me sick to my stomach.. Needless to say there wasnt any yuck to be seen. But the pain that he had to feel turned my belly. I also heard the GI liquid gurgle in my earbud! 😂Your one awesome team.. Individually having such pure loving souls that shine! Your so lucky having two Amazing Vets!
I love when Dr Lydia, gets excited over nastiness like a abcess! 😂 You can always tell when she is in her element! Her zone is solid, Her vocabulary becomes foreign to those not in the medical field!. She is unstoppable!! I’ll be the first to say that’s HOT!! So to all those ladies that are searching for their purpose or place, in need of a goal with guidence. Dr Gina is a pefect example of a woman that has earned her class honestly and damn sure worked hard doing so!
l do the last act of kind with all animals send my prayers are with the horses and donkeys and cats and dogs and make me cry
Hugs ❤️
Very thorough intake. Miss these types of intakes. But totally understand why. Great job guys!
❤ love you guys. You are wonderful. I just can't say it enough times. Thank you😊for helping all the fur babies....
Just so sad the abuse these horses go through and for so long. There are many more out there. Kudos to all for doing what you do. The extra diagnostic equipment will be a game changer.
These precious ones are FINALLY receiving the TLC they so desperately have needed for far too long. It's so heartbreaking that anyone could just let them suffer like they were. THANK YOU HPHS for ALL that you do for them!!! I hope they feel the love.
Thank you for such wonderful diagnostics and the professional team. When a horse makes its way to Horse Plus, it’s their best day no matter the health condition. I like to imagine there is a future where every animal is respected and loved as the beautiful being it is.
That poor draft horse with the obviously broken leg. What sort of monster would transport a horse with an injury like that? Obviously he's getting a good dose of pain meds, sedation, and the last act of kindness with loving people around him. That new ultrasound unit seems so much more convenient to use. Now you have both good views of bones and good views of soft tissue.
Love the drafts so sad to see one with such an untreated disastrous fracture.. rest easy big horse. Thank you crew!❤
Great up close snd imformative buy out. Thank you for all you do.
Eigentlich müsste Gott jedem Pferd Flügel geben damit sie vor der Bestie Mensch davon fliegen können. Soviel arme Seelen die ihr Leid so lange stillschweigend ertragen. Schämt euch!
Es ist so ein Glück das ihr von Horse Plus diese armen Pferdeseelen rettet. Tawnee du hast etwas sehr grosses erschaffen. Auch wenn viele Pferde eingeschläfert werden seid ihr die letzte Rettung. Ich liebe euch alle und ihr macht einen tollen Job.
You guys are angles to these beautiful souls keep it up love watching your videos ❤❤❤❤
That poor draft. How horrible that must be to see him in person. You guys are angels of mercy for these wounded creatures. How he could be like this for years is evil at a level I just don't understand.
The girl math concerning pizza is totally accurate.
Im sitting in tears ….😢 I don’t comprehend why the previous owner doesnt get that fixing an injury early doors actually saves them money …..especially as the horse is still young …..what is wrong with their mentality? Tammy what can we do from the uk to help put pressure on your government to change the laws?
I mean, honestly God, I I feel sorry for every horse that comes in there that’s sick hurt sad my heart breaks every time I see your videos. I’ve been starting to watch your videos for the past three months now I’ve watched a lot of your videos. I’m almost finished watching your videos that you have on RUclips. I’ve stayed up nights days and I love what you guys do. You’re awesome recently I just found out, but I have cancer. I’m fighting as much as I can, but if God takes me, my wish is to come and see you guys that’s what I want before I go my wish is to go and see you And shake your hand give you a big hug and a big kiss because what you do is amazing you’re awesome everyone of you guys there I live in Florida. I live in Arcadia Florida. I’ve got a couple guys a couple friends to watch your videos. they’re like in there they cry a lot. They text me and they tell me this is awesome. What they do so I wanna throw out a big love and kiss and a hug to everyone of you guys. You’re amazing you’re awesome, but like I said, I wanna come and see you and hold these horses and tell them that everything’s gonna be OK but I know sometimes it’s not OK and I break down and I cry so much right now I’m crying. I love you guys. You’re awesome. Keep up the good work.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO EVERYDAY PRAYERS 🙏WITH YOU.
Hello from Australia. Tim Tam biscuits are legendary and a suitable reward for all your good work.
Re the donkeys from the previous clip: there is an organisation in the UK called The Donkey Sanctuary which has info on its website about respiratory diseases for owners and for professionals. They also do research. May be useful if the US doesn't have such an organisation
Thank you for the almost live!
Sad to read in the update email that many of the horses from the first trailer had so many awful medical problems that they had to have the last act of kindness. I'm just glad you guys were there to give them love before saying goodbye
It's very sad because no horses are ever born to endure the pain and suffering that these horses do. It is absolutely heartbreaking. 💔💕🐎
@ about 21:00 min in, referencing scraping the pens and removing manure ... Have you contacted any local farmers who have large fields of crops? Maybe they'd be willing to come get that manure to work into their fields? Then, everybody wins. Just a thought.
That poor draft with the bad right front has such sweet kind eyes it breaks my heart 😢😢😢
Thank you SO much to all who donate, from those of us who cannot and wish we could. Seeing and hearing about your donations of time, funds, equipment warms my heart in ways I cannot describe. Will keep helping to spread the word.
so heart breaking to see so many in such bad condition. Really really can not understand how people could let their horses get in such terrible condition.
❤❤❤❤❤You all are just wonderful, caring, giving, loving people!
God Bless, all of you!
I loved watching all the hard work, you all do! I was so sad for all the poor, hurt horses!😮😮😮😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I sure wish that I was rich, because I would have bought, everything you guys needed!😊
THANK YOU, SO MUCH, FOR SAVING AND HELPING , THESE
LUCKY HORSES!❤❤❤❤❤
From Springfield, MO😊
Thank you all for doing God's work, for all the horses you get are truly blessed. Thank you so much for sharing. I have been a very long-time watcher of your posts and enjoy watching. Have a nice safe day!!!
You are their last hope so that they don't have to suffer anymore if they are critical. God bless you for saving the horses you save. And may God bless them all, 💔💕🐎
This is so heart breaking. How cruel to work these beautiful horses to such terrible conditions. Thank you so much for your care and kind consideration for these wonderful horses.🙏
So many troubling horses today! So sad but having more diagnostic equipment is invaluable!! ❤❤
safe act for horses. this is one of the tangibles we need to ask for starting with congress. horses are sentient beings. kind and beautiful. there is a special spirituality about horses and this is being done to the injured is horrendous. thank you for helping them ❤
Hey guys, thanks for what you do. It brings tears to me to see the condition of these horses. This makes me wanna cry.
Love your Hat + red hair locks
Thank you!!
❤❤Thank you, Jason, for showing us the almost live intake. ❤❤ The Intake team and Vets are just amazing! God Bless all your good works.
I love watching the channel back to basics and showing what you all are dealing with. The team you have is amazing. We have not forgotten about those loved ones that are not appearing right now. Prayers go out to them😢. It is amazing having the vets there and I pray they stay❤
You all at Horse Plus do wonderful things for these poor horses in need, thankyou.
Our pleasure!
These poor horses❤❤
I just want to say that you guys are amazing for what you do I watch you guys all the time I wish you guys would look closer because I would love to volunteer my time and help you guys and grooming horses and showing them love and getting them used to people I was raised around a Hackney
Love the almost live, thank you Jason. It's a great behind the scenes vlog. Thanks to Dr Gina and Dr Lydia for your hard work. I love seeing you both so excited about the new toys!
Dr Lydia...you are such an incredible teacher! Very easy to understand. I have learned so much from her. I pray that she stays. Love her. Would also love to eat as she does because she is in perfect shape. put me on your diet lol!
So sad to see those beautiful animals in such terrible condition. People should be made to pay for what they have done to them.
Hope Kimberly is doing well. ❤
All of you are just super at your jobs!
I don’t know what the answer is, but the fact is that we have more horses than we have homes for. My personal opinion is that the answer is to regulate the slaughter process to make it humane.
Taking away the responsibility people need to have for the animals in their possession is NOT the answer. If a person brings an injured, debilitated horse to an auction it should result in the person being investigated and if appropriate charged with animal cruelty. What they're getting away with is criminal and inhuman beyond words! Just as building bigger dog and cat shelters is NOT the answer to pet overpopulation, slaughter is NOT the answer to unwanted horses. No matter how many improvements and regulations you put in place, slaughter is hideous and cruel! Somewhere along the way, humankind has embraced the idea that no one is responsible! That's pure horse$h*t!
Whose idea was the 'manure happens' picture lol!! HPHS knows for sure, this was a tough video God bless you all.
I may sound callous and unkind, but members of the Amish community who work these horses to the point where injuries prevent them from even walking, must be brought up on felony animal abuse charges. Yes, there are good Amish farmers who do take care of their horses, but the level and severity of abuse and outright neglect must not be overlooked because of religious beliefs. No religion should EVER be allowed to inflict cruelty to the animals they own. I cannot comprehend the what you endure on a daily basis. Thank God your love of horses (and all animals!) transcends the mental agony you endure. Surely you are God's angels for the forgotten! I strongly urge everyone who can to donate. And don't forget to write, or call, your elected officials and urge them to support and get the SAFE Act passed. This senseless culture of cruelty cannot and SHOULD not continue. To do so is insanity!
