- Update: This video being almost 2 years old, it is one that keeps getting viewed so I wanted to post an update here as well. On September 8th, 2021, we lost our sweet Sterling. He passed suddenly and unexpectantly. To say I am devastated is an understatement. I have put together a tribute video to him that is now posted (Sept 13th). As hard it is to watch, Sterling only got more handsome as time went on though I don't know how it was possible as he was so handsome and beautiful. I hope everyone will continue to watch his transformation and now tribute video as he was an absolute amazing horse. He will be forever missed and loved.
Sterling's transformation! With the help of you guys, we rescued Sterling back in February last minute to save him from being shipped to slaughter. And look at him now!!❤ So unbelievably handsome and incredibly sweet! ❤
I was told he was 18. He was so sick in quarantine! He didn't want to eat! But he fought hard. So thankful for his care in QT. ❤ He had a long way to go after he arrived, still underweight, patches of hair missing, flaky dry skin but was such a sweet horse from day 1 here at Little Buckets! We got him lots of food, many baths, the care he needed and look at him now. And the vet thinks he is at least 30 years old. ❤ Gorgeous black, weight back on, and loving life!! And became best friends with Chief, Chester, and Trigger! I love this boy SO much!❤ I was drawn to him as soon as I saw his picture and I am so thankful we were able to save him!!❤
His 6 month transformation is worth the watch! You wouldn't recognize Sterling if you didn't know, my vet said she would have never known he was the same horse if I didn't tell her. ❤🐴❤
Thank you so much for your support and love for Sterling! We can save lives together!❤

You brought back life into this horse. That alone is a huge accomplishment. To do the work you do? I’d be waking up everyday smiling. Thank you. 🙏🏼❤️
Aww thank you so much, it is not easy every day but definitely very rewarding and very worth it!
Who would have thought that Black Beauty was hidden under that scraggly coat and bony frame? Amazing work.
Thank you so much. He is so handsome and special.
I thought "Black Beauty" right away too.

Such a handsome man! He looks so happy now, with his luscious mane and gleaming coat, running around the meadow with friends. Thank you for rescuing him - he clearly appreciates it. :)
Thank you, he is an amazing, sweet horse!
He is a pacer, not a trotter. Good luck with him he is beautiful. Ty for saving him
Truly reminds that special story acquainting the young horse lover's intellect and heart's feeling, with the plight of horses. Their side of the story told. Horses not a thing insensible surroundings but a personality presented, loving in devoted, often gratefully a part of who we are. Series associated with humane treatment in time written for the benefit of all horses.
A real blk beaut, quite a leader in spirit.
His canter is pacey, but I didn't see him pace. Stop the vid at 2:53; Sterling is trotting. My guess is Saddlebred or grade saddlebred; could be Standardbred b/c he does move wide behind; whatever he is, he's precious & a real trooper.
@@natasharostova5859 I was thinking he was a gaited horse,myself,watching his movement.A beautiful boy.Sad to read the accompanying notes that he had passed away,but glad that his remaining time was happier and healthier and full of love.
It’s black beauty, ginger and merrylegs !
Exactly what I thought!
A beautiful horse ! Thank you for saving him.
Thank you!
He is magnificent and so happy with his beautiful friends - I hope he lives with you forever 🐴💕
Thank you so much and he absolutely will.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The world needs more souls like yours.. 🥰 He looks amazing 💜
Awww thank you!
With his tail up and that smooth trot, he looks like a Tennessee Walker. Gorgeous. The before pictures, he looks like an very ordinary horse. Not any more! 😍
Awww thank you! Tennessee Walker was what his papers said from the auction. He is truly amazing horse - inside and out!
To think that a gorgeous boy like this could come to his later years so terribly neglected...it’s heartbreaking. But he found you! And now he gets to live out his years loved and showered with kindness and enjoying all of his new found friends...what a wonderful happy ever after. Little Buckets Farm Sanctuary, you all are worth your weight in gold...truly you are...thank you for all you do for these precious creatures...God bless your beautiful hearts! ❤️🙏🏻
Aww so incredibly kind. Thank you!
Such a sweet hearted and beautiful boy! You have done wonders with helping his beauty and spirit come back! He looks so happy now, and grateful, too. Thank YOU, for having such a good heart for helping animals that need it! ❤️
Thank you so much for your kindness!
Gorgeous, just gorgeous! What a transformation this gelding went through in a very short time. It shows what loving care can accomplish in an animal that was uncared for by someone that should have never owned this beautiful creature to begin with. It just warms my heart as a horse lover of 74 years and that has loved horses my entire life and still to this day will advocate for them, to see this horse and its companions so happy, running and playing together and just being horses, the way it is ment to be. What a wonderful sight to behold, thank you so much for sharing this video of this geldings transformation, it gives me hope in humanity and that there are still people out there like you that do care about an other living being! ❤️😊 How I wish that I was young again and to be around those majestic creatures. I miss touching them, smelling them, I miss their nickers and their velvety soft noses. Oh how I miss those days. 😔
Awww so very sweet and horses are truly amazing. Sterling sends big horse hugs to you!!! Thank you!!
@@LittleBucketsFarmSanctuary thanks I can use those hugs! 😊 Didn't see your response until just now because I was busy unpacking since we moved. Yes I am a die hard horse lover as far back as I can remember. Horses are magical to me and I love just watching them unsaddled and unbridled, running free! I cherish the memories I have when I still was around those incredible beautiful creatures, that is something I will always have locked away in my memory and that will stay there until I am gone. Thank you so, so much for being so kind and loving to the horses you are able to rescue, for giving them a place to flourish, to recuperate from abuse and neclect and where these magnificent beings get to experience that not all humans are bad. God bless you for all you are doing. 😊❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for what you do for this majestic animal… I’d of never thought that possible after the first picture, and he adores you for it too!
Aww - Thank you very much! He is a sweetheart!
Its like watching black beauty finally ho home and retire!
Sterling is so happy and stunningly gorgeous .
Awww thank you so much!
@@LittleBucketsFarmSanctuary
Thank you for your rescue work, and for sharing this beautiful story.
There's far too much ugliness in the world, the good , kind and wonderful needs to be given much more attention!
So heartwarming! Bless you for rescuing and helping him. You're an angel! 😇
OMG just INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! What a beautiful spirit, too!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
thank you so much, he is an awesome horse and sweet, sweet, sweet!
Love when they are all bucking and skipping around. So cute!
Bless you for the kindness you have shown - and for taking the time to show people the love and joy a horse can feel in these films - watching in the UK 🌎🤗
Aww thank you so much!
Wow! He is Beautiful AND sweet! Love watching him run with that tail up!! Thank you for rescuing him and for all you do !!
💕🐎💕
I think you took 20 years off of him❣️ There aren’t enough heroes like you in the world with so many Sterlings out there. I’d love to know who’s brand that is. I believe 1000% that breeders are responsible for any animal they bring into this world. The few times I bred my Champion Dobermans, 4 out of my 5 page contract was regarding the legalities of returning my puppies to me in the event their new families could no longer care for them. I.D. chips HAD to have my name and contact information registered along with the new owner for life! My part could not be changed. If Sterling was of my breeding I’d want to know what happened to him. God Bless you for what you do for these innocent creatures❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you so much. We did a little research on the brand and hadn't turned up anything yet.
Responsible breeders are diamonds.
@@LittleBucketsFarmSanctuary Head is formed so noble, affectionately friendly, in kindly trusting eye, just blossomed like a fragrant flower unfolding, looks to be a champion.
The world needs more people like you.
Thank you so much for rescuing him...I hope you keep him so that no other human can let him down again.. x
Absolutely! He is at is forever home! Thank you
Good for you guys! What this world needs is fewer breeders and more rescuers.
I am in love with that sweet fellow! Thank you so much for rescuing him! ♥️♥️♥️
Such a happy herd, so playful and Sterling is really agile for his age. Lovely video TFS.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
Fabulous transformation, those horses are sooooo happy together it's a joy to watch. Well done, love rescue stories like this.
Aww thank you so much!
You are an Angel....what a beautiful boy!🇨🇦Could watch him happy all day!
You are so kind. thank you!
30??! WOW! Your place is a paradise by the way.😍 And Sterling sure comes running when he sees you. You're a lucky lucky lady.
Thank you so much and yes when he runs over, it is such a great feeling, every single time! :)
@@LittleBucketsFarmSanctuary
💖 Back at ya', you're a good soul, extra hugs to Sterling
He is so lovely!!! Thank you so much for posting this. Watching Sterling and his friends prance around happily literally brought tears to my eyes. It is so moving!!! Thank you so much for doing what you’re doing. I hope you fall upon a fortune so that you can keep doing it for more and more wonderful animals ❤️🐰🤗🐰❤️
Thank you so much!!❤❤❤
@@LittleBucketsFarmSanctuary this boy looks Morgan....do you ride him at all? His gaits look. Like silk. 💘
@@jeanfish7 He is an amazing horse. Told he was a Tennessee Walking Horse who was 18 when I rescued him. However my vet believes he is at least 30 years old however he does not act it. We do believe he has some arthritis. So we just let him enjoy walking and running at his own pace in the field. :) Thank you!
@@LittleBucketsFarmSanctuary I guess I can see TWH...the one I rode was 15.3H...how tall is this boy? I was just impressed by that trot!:)
@@jeanfish7 I believe he is 15.1. My memory is slipping me right now. :) Yes beautiful trot! I love to watch him move!
What a gorgeous horse! I can only dream of owning one..
He so reminds me of my rescue boy of 4 years. He was at a feedlot & had only days, I was told he was 15. Well we have had a journey together. Your boy looks like he might be an apendix like mine, they both have a ranch brand. I've searched every state to no avail. But like your beautiful boy, mine turns out to be in his late 20s, about 27 now. With good nutrition & care they blossom. I wouldn't trade him for the world. God bless your rescue & what you do. Its hard work but so rewarding -:) He moves very soundly & I love how he flags his tail when trotting/ running. My boy Shiloh says hi -:)
Aww thank you for sharing. Sterling and I send big hugs to you and Shiloh. Sterling is incredibly sweet and handsome and we love him so much!
Huge difference ❣️.
Good on you! Anyone who takes care of these precious animals has God's Blessing and my thanks. Thank you for sharing!
I don't want to imagine his life before you saved him. At least now his life is rainbows and sunsets and friends and love! What a great gift you give these animals! Thank you for all you do and for sharing 💜🙏
Great job on the video by the way! I love the horses running and Chester running with the big boys always makes me laugh!
@@fldeejay68 Thank you so much :)
Thank you for all your support and love!
Wow he looks gorgeous. He has kind eyes. Well done you are doing a great job.😎🐴🐎
Many thanks! So appreciated
Look what yous have done to this horse, amazing kind and caring people, this horse looks totally different due to the love and hard work you all have put in to changing his life. Well done, I wish there were more people like you. He’s beautiful. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Aww that is incredibly kind. Thank you so much! We sure love Sterling! He is so sweet and handsome!!
Que bueno que todavia ai personas con un Buen Corazon ase falta mas personas como ustedes 😄🎠
Bless you for your love and care of these majestic creatures. Horses are so intelligent and highly spiritual. They are predominantly old souls!
Thank you! Yes horses are amazing!!
He is beautiful & wants to show how happy he is now.
Years ago i picked a horse up for rspca & brought back he was just skin on bone black 4 white socks blaze. My god he turned into a stunner but was a long road. Went on to jump at hickstead uk anazing. To this day i remember his bravery & humbled by the trama he must have gone through to rise above it & trust a human being again so intensly. Was so proud of him. Well done indeed.
Thank you and thank you for your wonderful story. It is amazing how they do trust after being treated so horridly. I know with Sterling - the trust and sweetness was immediate which was so unbelievable as I know he was not feeling well.
So beautiful!! So sad to think of all the other beautiful creatures that weren't saved.
Thank you! Yes I think of all the ones that don't get help everyday of my life.
I wish all people would care for their animals. This boy looks amazing from the start of his rescue. Thankyou for giving him a new wonderful life.
Thank you for your kind words
God Bless you for rescuing this neglected horse that you cared for and brought him back to a beautiful horse for as long as he lived. It's a good thing to know your love and care more than likely were the best years of his life. Thank you for all you do for these rescue horses. They deserve better than how they were treated prior to coming to your ranch. Rest in peace Sterling and God allowed that through the love of Little Bucket Sanctuary. Miracles happen every day.
Thank you for your kindness❤️🙏 Sterling was an absolute amazing horse and I miss him every single day!!🙏🐴
@@LittleBucketsFarmSanctuary I understand your loss and pain. 8/4/22 my Golden Retriever of just a couple months shy of 13 years old passed away. Part of our hearts do go with them for sure and I understand your pain. God's Blessings.
He runs right up to you, when he sees you and this video reminds me of the James Taylor song 🎶
YOU GOT A FRIEND
Awesome to see him run and kick up his heels with the other guys ❣🐎
He truly is a sweetheart!
It always amazes me what a little TLC can accomplish. Well done for giving this magnificent creature such a good life.
Thank you so much!
What a difference!! Beautiful love and attention food and companionship. Great turn around. Great job and video💕💕❤️❤️
So kind. Thanks so much.
God Bless you for being so good with Nature. God Bless You.

It absolutely does. He is so sweet and was so sweet from the first moment. We love him so much! Thank you!
Beautiful animals, but little horse needs a little friend. God Bless your work.
Thanks - Chester loves the big boys and is extremely close with Sterling. Not that we won't ever rescue another miniature horse, we sure would when we are able to.
A true determination, love and good care is required to reach on this level of success, happiness and satisfaction. Extremely excellent job done by you.
So very kind thank you so much❤️🐴

I dont know who could give this a thumbs down. He is part arabian with the tail raise when he runs. I had a part arabian and its just beautiful to watch. To go from so boney to thick and shiney and he is looking so happy!! I laugh when I hear Olive in the back ground. Love these friends!!
Apparently a Tennessee Walker?
He sure is handsome
