Tennessee Walking Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation

  • In the spring of 2012, a photo of a thin, timid Walking Horse mare named Millie caught my eye. Sometimes the heart must rule the head. Messages were sent, phone calls were made, and a wonderful group of good Samaritans went to work to help us bring Millie home. So began a journey through rehabilitation, building health and building trust between me and the fearful mare with the beautiful eyes. This video is for those who saw the beauty beneath, and for those who are wondering if the fight is worth it.

    The transformation of that horse is amazing .Thankyou so much. These horses prior to their rescue are so badly abused its utterly disgraceful that shows like the Big Lick are still allowed .And ignorant stupid people deny it still and say there is no cruelty .Thankyou so much for the rescue of these magnificent animals .

    This video needs sooo many more likes. I had no idea about the Big Lick until my daughter did a project on it in school. I couldn't believe such a thing was happening for so long. God love all you rescuers.

      Agreed its horrifying: understand TWH were bred to be used to ride around on a plantation using its natural, smooth running walk the current big ick competition s are a cruel travesty and perversion of the breed the soring and chains etc should be outlawed on cruelty grounds: absolutely disgusting

    I rescued and 18 year old gelding who was in a similar condition. He turned into my black beauty until he died at age 32. I miss those quiet times together in his stall when I groomed him while he enjoyed his grain. I miss the bond of friendship we had. This is a beautiful video that captures those feelings very well, thank you.

      You know, Angie Rowe, if that's all you got from this vid, it's very sad. Did you not see the heartbreaking condition that horse was in when rescued? Do you have any idea of how much work went into saving her, reconditioning her and teaching her to trust again? The vet bills, the farrier bills, the feed bills,, the days, nights, worry and stress? Both for the mare and the new owner? I think she looks fabulous, and I would rather see a horse overweight than underweight; and any responsible horse owner I know would as well.

  • @marleneanderssonlundin2056

    Do Tennessee Walking horses have problems trotting, or is it that horrible big lick training that made this horse unable to trot?

    • @Shansurri
      @Shansurri  Год назад +1

      Some trot, some pace, and some do a mix. Those bred for Big Lick tend to be more pacey.

    You've rescued these horses but what about the other horses that are being forced to perform in the shows? The abuse that they endure why can't you rescue the rest of these and find people that will help you get these horses out of this torturous sport? The show begins today through September 5th. I wish you would rescue the rest of these horses so they don't have to endure a life of pain and suffering
