This broke me, horses are such noble creatures and they serve us humans with so much loyalty, cannot imagine what they go through when they are no longer wanted. Shame on the human race is all I can say. 😥
This video really brought tears to my eyes. That horse looked so mistreated/abused. Thank the lord for these rescue teams, they make such a great and meaningful impact on this Earth. ❤️
I didn't know that there was a Lord involved in this rescue. I guess some royals do come through and cares for animals. They have some good money I guess, so that's nice. I'm happy that some humans are good and are able to help these animals ☺️❤️
When I was little, we "acquired" a couple of horses. I learned later that they had been abandoned and my mom rescued them. We were poor, but we never went hungry, and neither did those horses. People thought we were rich because we had horses, little did they know, lol. She traded guitar lessons and babysitting for vet visits and hoof trims. Of course, back then, there were open fields and lots of wooded areas where we could ride and they could feed. I spent many summer days in the woods. God, I miss that. Now all those areas are built up. Horses are such amazing creatures --- they are so much more intelligent than we give them credit for. Growing up with them taught me a lot about trust, healing, and love. God bless this woman and her crew.
Would love to find out where this place is & see if they're hiring; or, any other similar place. Never really been around horses, but, my grandma & my great grandpa (her dad) use to break horses. Have always have a fascination for them; possible need, want, desire to be around them. HA... Would DEF always have an apple or 3 w/me ! = )
They have worked their entire life. Give them years of enjoying the world around them. They should not be discarded like trash. Bless the people who rescued them.
Amen!! thank God, she does not see them as just kill and be done there is live in them all if we human can just stop and love and see all God all creation is worth saving.
Hero is not the right word for this young woman. She is a superhero. Rescuing horses from being killed and giving them green pastures to run in--all this takes hard work, dedication, and strength. Thank you.
He's so beautiful inside and out ! Fancy him being in a kill shelter. The kill pen couldn't be bothered to help him . Wicked people ! Thank goodness this lady rescued him
Everyone should support rescues like this, and the Apex Protection Project. Humans wouldn't be here today without horses and dogs. We should protect them life family because they are.
That's the problem with all animal abusers they don't seem to get what animal's feel becuse animal abusers have no heart they Only care for themselves animal's feel the same pain we feel and same emotion
What is most wonderful is allowing horses to not have metal nails driven through their feet. God made them perfect so all they need is the horsey necessities and some herd buddies and they are set. All of my horses are barefoot and they travel from cross country, dressage, a bit of jumping and mountainous trails of Tennessee with no problems with any terrain
This poor horse is another example of "owners" treating their animals like commodities and, when they've outlived their "usefulness" are abandoned, neglected or slaughtered. One can only wonder how well they were treated *before* they were tossed away. It's heartening to know that some folks are willing to step up and give these wonderful creatures a second chance at a happier life! Bravo! 👏👏😊💕💕
These people shouldn't even be allowed to own any animals. There should be a law banning those who neglect animals and who are found to have done that to be banned from having animals again
My mom and I adopted a rescue horse. He is a 14 year old straight Egyptian Arabian. The rescue rescued him from a kill pen with 22 others. He came with a dent on his face from an old injury and is just the sweetest boy ever!
I worked with a horse and large animal rescue for 10 years. Some of the things I saw really changed me. When you get a rescue animal that is so terrified of life to open up and start to trust...there is nothing like it in this world. Its hard, dirty, heartbreaking work. but when you watch the spark come back into these animals eyes, it makes it all worth it.
You have my utmost respect. Thank you for being so kind and patient with them. Rescue animals are the most challenging but also the most loving, once you gain their trust.
Yes! I too have seen and witnessed this in Santa Cruz stables which specialize in saving mistreated horses. After seeing a horse saved convinced me to donate to this charitable organization. Donate to Big John!!
@@drewtube5031 At one time clowns were able to make a reasonable living. I think the 1980s ruined that with all the scary images and serial killers etc.
It's all about Money. When people are controlled by Money they see everyone and every creature as a commodity. They are devoid of empathy. They are the lowest form of humanity, borderline demons, even if they are wealthy.
same, but it really just comes down to there being too many animals for us to take care of so humans just do whats easiest which sadly is to just to get rid of them
If you think mistreatment is bad now, do some reading about how work animals were treated back when we actually used animals to do a lot of work. In many cases they were used up like disposable items.
I'm a grown man but I'm not ashamed to admit seeing all those neglected horses in that "kill pen" nearly made me cry. I just do not understand how anybody can treat these beautiful majestic creatures like throw-away work tools...they are living, breathing souls just like us! This team of rescuers are wonderful people ❤
You don't want to know then what happens to most race horses. Those who don't win are worth more by the pound and end up in these pens by the thousands.
There are horses that do get abused and neglected. But there are also horses that have simply encountered an extremely unfortunate set of occurances that lead them down the path to the kill pen. Maybe their owners were inexperienced or didn't have the money to fix their physical needs ir didn't know how to fix their mental needs...
Outside of mankind- no one else has a soul It’s all instinct- which God our Creator instilled in them- man was also given a conscience which is grossly lost as we live and sin
I’m 69, and my Dad raised horses. They were his life. This brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t realize they have kill pens. My Dad is in Heaven, but I know he would tell you how thankful he is to me you. I say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You’re angels. 🙏💗
I'm sitting over here crying like a baby. Horses are beautiful, hard working and loyal creatures. Seeing any animal abused/neglected breaks my heart. Thank God there are people like you who care enough to help as many animals as you can. Thank you ❤️❤️.
You guys are angels on earth! He looks and shows that he feels amazing!! Seeing him barely able to walk killed me!! Brought me to tears… I live in the city, but I’ve always wanted horses!! They’re such amazing beings!! Thank you 🙏🏻 for all that you do!!
Thank you so much for saving these beautiful horses you are magnificent I mean that I can't believe that people would would throw them away like trash thank you
I was amazed that he was only 10 years old. How hard could it have been to find him a new home. On the other hand, there are people who will tell you that they will give a horse a good home and in reality they sell them to the killer dealers or they are themselves
White people have outstanding empathy towards animals (for the most part) . Why did I comment that? Because if your fine w being told how problematic you are then you shouldn't be bothered by a positive attribute. Now demonstrate to everyone how broken you are and get mad about a compliment
@@thisgame2 no you are 100% correct white people treat animals better and in fact they treat people better you can look around the world and see this and maybe that's why it's a battle but they seem to be helping a lot of people that they don't even know and I understand there's a lot of wars and all that crap but it's just a confusing situation on both sides but they're definitely nice to animals
Very sadly this Judeo-Christian belief that "Man has dominion over the Earth" is at the heart of this disposable attitude...that is a mere belief not grounded in quantum physics. The Amish, a "religious" community send these work horses to slaughter. I really doubt Jesus Christ, himself would condone such a thing.
@@myronschabe Agreed, but there are many other, non-“believers” in anything who also discard animals and people-including their own families. It is not limited to any belief system, unfortunately, other than hardness of heart.
@@revolutionaryviews9702 Yes, I don’t disagree about hardness of heart but one’s belief system IS very important relative also to how a society at large treat animals, take factory farming as an example. Beliefs systems play a MAJOR role in the rationalizing of things that occur that would otherwise be obviously a violation in heart feeling. Yes, and, sure there are other belief systems beyond Judeo/Christian that perpetrate animal abuse and atrocity.
@@myronschabe don't even get me started on the Amish and their treatment of animals. Their puppy mills are abhorrent. Should be investigated and prosecuted. Thank you for the good work.
It's like all those dogs bought during covid, check your local pound, lots of dogs now. People just want to acquire things but not look after them, horses are expensive to feed and maintain, hoof trims, meds, housing etc. I grew up with a herd of rescued ponies and horses, they were a sad lot when my Dad brought them home, but they flourished, and went on to nicer homes.
Such a great program , can people donate to your organization? I hope One day we stop all the kills . Animals are such gifts . It makes me cry any animal being treated unfairly
The trot after his first trim. He’s like “I can trot, ….freedom” I couldn’t think how painful it would be to walk on those overgrown hooves. You could tell he knew the farrier was their to help him and he was such a good boy getting his hooves trimmed. I’m going to donate, your work is amazing you are literally 😇😇😇
That is heartbreaking to see such gentle giants be treated so cruelly. Glad to see someone who cared enough to do something about this. 80 horses is pretty impressive. Congratulations!
People don’t realize that these magnificent creatures are just as loving and devoted and full of personality as any dog or cat. Bless these people forever for rescuing them.
That they are. I never realized it until I saw a gelding walking down my friend's driveway, pausing and trying to scratch an itch on his flank with his hind foot. I saw he had a deer fly on his flank and I brushed it away. I was immediately his best buddy, and he hugged me with that bug old head over my shoulder. He approached my mother in her wheelchair and nuzzled her for some petting, too. As we were leaving and I put Mom's wheelchair into the back seat, the horse tried to get into the car to go home with us. He was like a big old friendly puppy. Speaking of puppies, my friend has two miniature horses, a stallion and a three-week-old colt, who will sit in your lap given half-a-chance. Her two mini mares are too dignified for such behavior, though they do want their peppermint treats and carrots and apples.
Breaks my heart to see that Kill pen , as a horse owner for over 45yrs it still amazes me how these beautiful animals can be so mistreated . In my mind you guys have the best job in the world , although deciding which horse from that group you were willing to take with you and give them a better life , this must be in no doubt extremely hard to do . . I wish you continued success with the work that you do. God bless you all .
When I was on a training exercise in Alberta Canada I actually witnessed 1000's of wild horses running free on the plains. It was absolutely Beautiful.
@@dougmccallum878 They are trying too again they expanded their "population areas" to artificially inflate the numbers they counted apparently they doubled in population since last year so they want to shoot a bunch of them this winter or next just like they killed all the ones in the yukon
What an selfless, empathetic, giving group of people. A blessing to animals. I wish there was no killing of all healthy/fixable animals! Thanks to this group for opening your hearts and homes.
My mom was like this. We had 47 acres, 30 stall barn, she used to train and show but stopped after one of the horse auctions we went to. She saw Oldie and that changed everything, she picked up alot from the kill pen and we took care of them until it was there time to go. Ps. I absolutely HATE horses but I respected what Mimi was trying to do for them.
@@rover5788 chillout. somebody whos mother spended 100% for horses and probabily put the horses often before her own family... yes i get the fact that horses were disliked
Rescue whatever size animal you can. It's all good! There are lots of fish, hamsters, etc at places like SPCA, and if you can take any animal, donate to a good animal rescue organization, and if you can't donate volunteer, and if you can't volunteer sign petitions. It all helps!
I was overwhelmed to see these horses rescued and given the love and care that they do deserve!. Horses need the care and the human touch just like humans do.....well done!.
Me2 crying over the loving soul of this beautiful young lady and her family her helpers all that do the healing help for these magnificent creatures well God gifted them then they ran with it and changed the world for the better💖
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU - HUMANS ARE VASTLY UNWORTHY OF THE AMAZING GIFTS MOTHER NATURE FREELY GIVES US AND MOST ARE TOO BLIND TO RESPECT THE LOVING, BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS WHO POPULATE THIS EARTH.
Disposing of horses or any animals after they have worked so hard for humans is disgusting and a huge blight on America. Thanks to all the good people out there who rescue! Love and blessings to each one.
For all the therapy benefits that horses provide to people, there should be state and nationally funded programs to provide care for these beautiful creatures. It’s a win win situation. Thank you for making this video and for all that participate in the daily funding and maintenance of rescuing these sweet animals.
I don't even freaking understand why they're sent to slaughter. Just because they can't work doesn't mean they can't enjoy retirement comfortably in a field or as a therapy horse. I just don't get it.
@@explodingtomahawks7589 It takes a lot of land and food etc. so essentially is down to money. The modern Judeo-Christian world has lost its soul and so therefore such atrocities happen.
Yes, for all the depressed folks out there on pharmaceutical drugs, and even prisoners etc., learning natural horsemanship and working with horses would be absolutely life changing. If, there are wealthy entrepeneurial horse folks out there why not start such programs, and yes, there should absolutely be government funded programs as well, but, certainly this SHOULD BE HAPPENING widescale.
Not only that, but human history quite literally wouldn't be where it is right now without the horse. Our history is written on the backs of horses. We owe them respect.
Yeah I seen people done that with cattle too with bad hoofs hardly can walk on, but guess what nobody cares. So why would people care about horses if they live or dies? Cuz apparently life goes on.
When I need to be reminded that humans aren't all selfish and greedy... I go Dodo. Thank you heros. I wish I had a tangible way to give back the good work done by so many.
@R S It doesn't take a PhD to figure out why that is. These horses aren't being rescued so that they be rehabilitated to be put back to work again you bozo.
The kill pen is a nightmare. Thank you for rescuing fellow Earth beings who have done nothing wrong but were used and then discarded. Anyone who does this to a living creature is bad. End of.
What is the matter with people!!!? I would say 90% of the people in this country do not deserve any animals. No dog, cat, bird, hamster, horse, cow sheep goat ETC. !!!
Sincerest gratitude to the folks in this video and everyone involved with rescuing animals in need. May God bless you all and assist you in your work🙏🏼
I love how all animals are so resilient and will bounce back from the most grotesque and horrific treatment and still show trust and love to humans. I wish I was as forgiving as they are.
Not all of them bounce back. My niece has a horse who was quite severely abused and is now severely traumatized. She rescued the mare and has been trying to gain her trust for several years now but, so far, it's not really working. This horse is so traumatized by what she's been through that she's lost ALL trust in humans whatsoever. The only way to catch her for anything is for the vet to come out and dart her with a tranquilizer gun. Even the vet says to euthanize the horse but my niece is a bit of an animal whisperer so I think the mare will come around eventually. She's also rescued an abused cow so the cow and horse live together. She's gained the trust of the cow. That cow will do anything for apples. LOL It's a former dairy cow that was listed for slaughter due to bad feet gotten from standing her entire life on concrete in her own poop, just to provide us with milk. The industrial dairy system in the US is appalling that way.
White people have outstanding empathy towards animals (for the most part) . Why did I comment that? Because if your fine w being told how problematic you are then you shouldn't be bothered by a positive attribute. Now demonstrate to everyone how broken you are and get mad about a compliment
To see the size of these beautiful, majestic creatures, looking like bags of bones, brings tears to my eyes. And seeing all those scars was the worse. Probably inflicted over many years by many ignorant, basic humans. Why treat a creature you rely on to help you so badly...it doesn't make sense. How wonderful then to see that these animals can finally be given love and care by such wonderful people. Us mere animal lovers watching this thank you all for all that you've done and do💕
Having horses costs money. An unforeseen problem can make the cost impossible to pay. Of course the best thing to do is get help early. Unfortunately humans hold on as long as possible, and things spiral out of control. IF YOU CAN NO LONGER AFORD THE UPKEEP OF A HORSE GET HELP IMMEDIATELY. DON’T WAIT
@@JFS1215 if it gets to where you can not afford the upkeep of owning a horse mule or donkey. Please give them to someone who can keep the animal healthy
I would. I have one in my barn as we speak whose owner, a friend of mine, allowed to become literally skeletal under his blanket. I found out why she never took his blanket off and when he developed a hoof infection from neglect, I seized my chance and her horse. We still speak, she feeds him in the morning and brings food by each week but if it hadn't been for me and my husband, her horse would have died within weeks, no lie at all. He was 30 when I brought him here and is 33 years old now and looks fantastic. When I confronted her about his health, she tried to give me a noncommittal "Oh, he always gets that way in the winter", to which I answered "and you never bothered to readjust his diet??". Poor boy has nubs for teeth and she was feeding him whole grains. He can't chew them and can't digest them. She claims to have a "degree in stable management" yet had no idea what beet pulp was. Honestly, if she's this apathetic about him, why keep him? As it is, he has essentially become my horse as I have physical custody of him and provide most of his food, daily care, and medical/farrier care. She always says she'll pay me back, etc., but I highly doubt it. It always seems that horse people come in two varieties: responsible owners and flakes who make endless excuses.
@@JFS1215 Why do they continue to exploit and use the horses for their own pleasure by riding them at this rescue place???? Ask a horse if they like someone jumping on their back and yanking reins in their mouth. They know when they're being used and they do not bond with people who ride them.
This hit me hard. I just started working at a horse sanctuary, after 15 months at a long-term care center. I felt like I won the lottery the first time one of the horses let me kiss their nose.
I am glad this beautiful horse had a second chance! Breaks my heart to think people could bring harm to animals. Not sure what’s happened to them to treat animals with such disregard to inflict pain. I am so happy there are amazing people that love and care for animals! It’s rewarding to love, save and care for animals - they provide unconditional love to your life! Thank you to everyone that loves and cares for these beautiful horses! 😘🐴♥️🐎 ♥️
As a person who formerly owned horses and has horse as an animal spirit, Thank you for giving your time, attention and LOVE to such beautiful, amazing beings 🥰💚
They truly are beautiful and Smart i miss my Arabian I had him for a lot of years but sadly he passed a few years back now I rescued him from the side of the road I asked his previous owners how much they want for him they said $100 bucks so I got him he was in a bad way with rope burns were he was tied up but I took him home and started to heal him he turned out to be my best friend and I would have to say I've had a lot of horses in my life but this one was my true friend
@@jennyrules2694 I once saw a picture of the fetus of a horse on the cover of a National Geographic magazine and it looked so incredibly beautiful and spiritual it had a light and it almost seemed transparent it’s form radiated a spiritual beauty I saw right then and there the majesty of their spirit To be able to be close to them to have one love you and you love them must be so deeply satisfying and complete I am so sorry for your loss but grateful you had shared such love
Heartbreaking to see those poor horses in the kill pen looking so scared, bewildered and lost. That really broke my heart! 💔😭😭😭 Kudos to this woman and the lifesaving work her charity are doing, this video illustrates both the ugly and beautiful sides of humanity. Thank god for people like this! ❤️
10 years old he's in his prime of his life that's crazy over feet over curable feet at that! So glad you guys rescued him kudos to you and everyone like you that does this
10 year age? Hill that's about a age for a old man or woman..lol no wonder why they were going for slaughter, only thing that's different is we are humans, they are animals. That's made to be eaten.. like why do you think other countries eats dogs.? Reality they eat what God has given them and horses ain't no different.
Horses are giant dogs. I can't imagine killing a dog. People that spend their lives to rescue any animal and make them whole again are heros in my book. Honestly, I've only ever rescued and adopted dogs, especially older ones or ones that have been in the system too long. They have been the best friends and the most loving in my experience. You can feel the love and appreciation everytime you look at them
HORSES ARE HORSES AND DOGS ARE DOGS. THE DIFFERENCES IN THESE SPECIES, ONE EQUINE AND THE OTHER CANINE, ARE PROFOUND, LIKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIGHT AND DAY.
I have a horse. There’s a special connection they have with the ones who love them. If you like the smell of hay and a barn full of horses, you love them. This was both amazing and HEARTBREAKING. We also have a donkey named Tilly. She loves getting her nails “done” and she’s so sweet. Horses are grateful, appreciative and ornery too. How anyone could neglect, hurt or do this has no SOUL. You guys are more than caring humans..You are THE BEST KINDS OF CARING HUMANS. Our horse came from Nevada and was once wild. She has a number branded along side her neck under her beautiful mane. She’s called Nugget. From the mines of Virginia City. Mustang. I’m going out to the paddock and hugging her AGAIN. 🤗 🥺
my uncle got a wild mustang. He had other horses too, but their way of "breaking in" a horse was just breaking the horse. Thank you for taking care of your mustang! Greetings to Nugget! So you know, the way my dad treated animals was so very different. He was kind, they trusted and loved him. We children grew up to know and understand the difference. We all took after my dad.
I missed my calling in life. How I wish I could do what you do! I can't say thank you enough for those of us living vicariously through you. Being able to live the gift you've been given is a rare treat. Coffee is on me next time you find yourself in the Charlotte area.
„Not one more“ - a big wish for me, too! It’s so hard to see the horses in the kill pen! Thank you so much for all you so - and Look at the Transformation!
This made my day. Thank you for rescuing these beautiful working animals, who deserved lifelong care for their hard work, not abandonment or a death sentence.
I'm not a Horsey person... But i take my hat off to you for the incredible work you and your team do to make there lives happy and comfortable... Keep up the good work and enjoy the rewards for your time and effort. X
I don't know why I'm so emotional over this, ugh people do have the compassion and ability to change lives. A horse's life is just as valuable as a person's life.
I cried hard at this. I'm so grateful for people like you who save these magnificent creatures. I don't know how people can use these horses as work horses & then dispose of them without a second thought. I don't understand how anyone can say any animal have no souls. You need only to look into their eyes to see it. Blessed Be you & all who do this work. I have a friend who moved to Eastern Oregon, bought a ranch & now she works with horse rescues.
I can relate to this. I’m not comfortable around horses, never have been. Frankly, I’m afraid of them. However, my wife ended getting a older rescue horse that was in pretty bad shape. Honestly, we probably paid too much for him, but there was no way we were going to let him suffer one more minute. It’s been a long road getting him back in shape, and we’ve got a long way to go, but like the woman in the video, he’s woken something inside me I didn’t know was even there. That’s what I want to do, too.
@@avonleamontague2469 Yeah, he really is. The day she picked him up, I went up to where she’s keeping him I met up with her there as they were unloading him from a long day of traveling and a visit to a shoe-er (term?). They were busy checking him over and cleaning him up, so I sucked it up and held his lead, and he just laid his head into me like it was the first kindness he’d seen in a long time. Melted my heart, if I’m honest. I don’t know the first thing about horses, but I’m darn well going to learn. He may not have many years left, but we are determined to make them good ones.
@@earlaroberts5034 Nah, just trying to do right by an innocent creature. They said the woman who had him (and 30 other starving horses) said “I feed my good horses.” Unbelievable. Thank you, though. Believe it or not, that same woman messaged the woman who’s property we are keeping him on and is helping us get him into shape when she posted photos of his weight-gain progress. Former owner actually had the audacity to ask to buy him back. We easily could have made our money back, but there is no way that is happening. She’s never going to see him again, period.
Oh my gosh!! We need more and more people like you. Thank you for saving my favorite animal. If I had the funds to start a rescue I would. God bless all of you! God bless all of God's creatures. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴

The women running this rescue are some badass home girls in my book. Stay safe and strong I wish you continued success in your amazing work. Every woman and girl every human being should consider finding something they're passionate about that does good work in our world. This is really beautiful. Saving lives one at a time. What an honorable beautiful thing to do with majestic animals.
Horses are such lovely animals. Just look at the fellow's eyes, during the very last seconds of this video. The intelligence and warmth are so easy to see.
Unfortunately so many cruel and abusive humans roam this earth….at least likewise so many kindhearted ones rescue them and give them the love and care they deserve ❤️
When I saw the kill pens, that made me sad thinking about the fate of those horses. I can’t imagine how easy it is for people to turn their horses in to get slaughtered. 😕🤬
This broke me, horses are such noble creatures and they serve us humans with so much loyalty, cannot imagine what they go through when they are no longer wanted. Shame on the human race is all I can say. 😥
Well said

The people not caring for the abandoned horses, should be turned to glue, dog food, and other useful products. 😁💩

All of my horses are barefoot and they travel from cross country, dressage, a bit of jumping and mountainous trails of Tennessee with no problems with any terrain
This poor horse is another example of "owners" treating their animals like commodities and, when they've outlived their "usefulness" are abandoned, neglected or slaughtered. One can only wonder how well they were treated *before* they were tossed away.
It's heartening to know that some folks are willing to step up and give these wonderful creatures a second chance at a happier life! Bravo! 👏👏😊💕💕
@The Horse Stable Channel Thank you. I agree that these kill pens must be abolished!
@The Horse Stable Channel 🙏👍
These people shouldn't even be allowed to own any animals. There should be a law banning those who neglect animals and who are found to have done that to be banned from having animals again
@@elithluxe7568 Oh, I couldn't agree more! 👍
Is it a better life of they continue to work as riding horses?
My mom and I adopted a rescue horse. He is a 14 year old straight Egyptian Arabian. The rescue rescued him from a kill pen with 22 others. He came with a dent on his face from an old injury and is just the sweetest boy ever!
I worked with a horse and large animal rescue for 10 years. Some of the things I saw really changed me. When you get a rescue animal that is so terrified of life to open up and start to trust...there is nothing like it in this world. Its hard, dirty, heartbreaking work. but when you watch the spark come back into these animals eyes, it makes it all worth it.
You have my utmost respect. Thank you for being so kind and patient with them. Rescue animals are the most challenging but also the most loving, once you gain their trust.
Yes! I too have seen and witnessed this in Santa Cruz stables which specialize in saving mistreated horses. After seeing a horse saved convinced me to donate to this charitable organization. Donate to Big John!!
Thank you
I have rescued many dogs in my life and they have all been incredibly grateful companions. God bless you!

It's unbelievable that someone let a ten year old horse get in such poor condition. I'm glad you rescued him.
Sadly, it is the Amish.
I do not understand how anyone could treat a living, breathing creation like this. Thank you for saving this beautiful horse.
It's all about Money. When people are controlled by Money they see everyone and every creature as a commodity. They are devoid of empathy. They are the lowest form of humanity, borderline demons, even if they are wealthy.
Your government does much worse to humans all the time.
@@Aconitum_napellus Fauci is the leader of torture
same, but it really just comes down to there being too many animals for us to take care of so humans just do whats easiest which sadly is to just to get rid of them
If you think mistreatment is bad now, do some reading about how work animals were treated back when we actually used animals to do a lot of work. In many cases they were used up like disposable items.
I'm a grown man but I'm not ashamed to admit seeing all those neglected horses in that "kill pen" nearly made me cry. I just do not understand how anybody can treat these beautiful majestic creatures like throw-away work tools...they are living, breathing souls just like us! This team of rescuers are wonderful people ❤
You don't want to know then what happens to most race horses. Those who don't win are worth more by the pound and end up in these pens by the thousands.
Same here
It's truly heartbreaking to see those horses in the pen...and to think how many face that fate all over the world.
There are horses that do get abused and neglected. But there are also horses that have simply encountered an extremely unfortunate set of occurances that lead them down the path to the kill pen.
Maybe their owners were inexperienced or didn't have the money to fix their physical needs ir didn't know how to fix their mental needs...
Outside of mankind- no one else has a soul
It’s all instinct- which God our Creator instilled in them- man was also given a conscience which is grossly lost as we live and sin
I am so glad that people like this lady exsist. 80 horses saved is a lot of time, money and work. What a beautiful and grateful horse :)
🤩 ✨✨✨✨✨ 😌
I’m 69, and my Dad raised horses. They were his life. This brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t realize they have kill pens. My Dad is in Heaven, but I know he would tell you how thankful he is to me you. I say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You’re angels. 🙏💗
I'm sitting over here crying like a baby. Horses are beautiful, hard working and loyal creatures. Seeing any animal abused/neglected breaks my heart. Thank God there are people like you who care enough to help as many animals as you can. Thank you ❤️❤️.

I was amazed that he was only 10 years old. How hard could it have been to find him a new home. On the other hand, there are people who will tell you that they will give a horse a good home and in reality they sell them to the killer dealers or they are themselves
I love how he leaned into both care takers to get kisses while getting a trim.
White people have outstanding empathy towards animals (for the most part) . Why did I comment that? Because if your fine w being told how problematic you are then you shouldn't be bothered by a positive attribute. Now demonstrate to everyone how broken you are and get mad about a compliment
Wtf lmaoo this is so uncalled for. Stop feeding off unnecessary drama, this is a nice video of horses being rescued.
@@thisgame2 no you are 100% correct white people treat animals better and in fact they treat people better you can look around the world and see this and maybe that's why it's a battle but they seem to be helping a lot of people that they don't even know and I understand there's a lot of wars and all that crap but it's just a confusing situation on both sides but they're definitely nice to animals

Amazing how many people treat animals as if they are disposable. Just sad.
Can't say enough about people like you and the work you do.
Thank you.
Very sadly this Judeo-Christian belief that "Man has dominion over the Earth" is at the heart of this disposable attitude...that is a mere belief not grounded in quantum physics. The Amish, a "religious" community send these work horses to slaughter. I really doubt Jesus Christ, himself would condone such a thing.
@@myronschabe Agreed, but there are many other, non-“believers” in anything who also discard animals and people-including their own families. It is not limited to any belief system, unfortunately, other than hardness of heart.
@@revolutionaryviews9702 Yes, I don’t disagree about hardness of heart but one’s belief system IS very important relative also to how a society at large treat animals, take factory farming as an example.
Beliefs systems play a MAJOR role in the rationalizing of things that occur that would otherwise be obviously a violation in heart feeling. Yes, and, sure there are other belief systems beyond Judeo/Christian that perpetrate animal abuse and atrocity.
@@myronschabe don't even get me started on the Amish and their treatment of animals. Their puppy mills are abhorrent. Should be investigated and prosecuted.
Thank you for the good work.

Brought me to tears. How that anyone neglect an animal is beyond me. Those that help such animals are saints in my eyes.
It's like all those dogs bought during covid, check your local pound, lots of dogs now. People just want to acquire things but not look after them, horses are expensive to feed and maintain, hoof trims, meds, housing etc.
I grew up with a herd of rescued ponies and horses, they were a sad lot when my Dad brought them home, but they flourished, and went on to nicer homes.
You might not want to read my post.....I still cry thinking about it.
Such a great program , can people donate to your organization? I hope
One day we stop all the kills . Animals are such gifts . It makes me cry any animal being treated unfairly
The trot after his first trim. He’s like “I can trot, ….freedom” I couldn’t think how painful it would be to walk on those overgrown hooves. You could tell he knew the farrier was their to help him and he was such a good boy getting his hooves trimmed. I’m going to donate, your work is amazing you are literally 😇😇😇
You could see him realizing. So rewarding! 💕
That is heartbreaking to see such gentle giants be treated so cruelly. Glad to see someone who cared enough to do something about this. 80 horses is pretty impressive. Congratulations!

People don’t realize that these magnificent creatures are just as loving and devoted and full of personality as any dog or cat. Bless these people forever for rescuing them.
That they are. I never realized it until I saw a gelding walking down my friend's driveway, pausing and trying to scratch an itch on his flank with his hind foot. I saw he had a deer fly on his flank and I brushed it away. I was immediately his best buddy, and he hugged me with that bug old head over my shoulder. He approached my mother in her wheelchair and nuzzled her for some petting, too.
As we were leaving and I put Mom's wheelchair into the back seat, the horse tried to get into the car to go home with us.
He was like a big old friendly puppy.
Speaking of puppies, my friend has two miniature horses, a stallion and a three-week-old colt, who will sit in your lap given half-a-chance. Her two mini mares are too dignified for such behavior, though they do want their peppermint treats and carrots and apples.
Breaks my heart to see that Kill pen , as a horse owner for over 45yrs it still amazes me how these beautiful animals can be so mistreated . In my mind you guys have the best job in the world , although deciding which horse from that group you were willing to take with you and give them a better life , this must be in no doubt extremely hard to do . . I wish you continued success with the work that you do. God bless you all .
Lovely post.
@@carmelitajones7779 It is isn't it?🤗

Same. All our horses were cherished as they aged. We never considered euthanizing them until the vet said there was no other option.
When I was on a training exercise in Alberta Canada I actually witnessed 1000's of wild horses running free on the plains. It was absolutely Beautiful.
I take it you were at Suffield, I think they are still around although the government was going to cull them at one time. Beautiful animals.
I keep RUclips videos of wild horses running free🐎🐎constantly running in our conference room at work. It's lovely and such a calming effect too.🐴

@@dougmccallum878 They are trying too again they expanded their "population areas" to artificially inflate the numbers they counted apparently they doubled in population since last year so they want to shoot a bunch of them this winter or next just like they killed all the ones in the yukon

Pretty cool. Wish I was a horse person and could offer a home to these magnificent creatures.
My mom was like this. We had 47 acres, 30 stall barn, she used to train and show but stopped after one of the horse auctions we went to. She saw Oldie and that changed everything, she picked up alot from the kill pen and we took care of them until it was there time to go. Ps.

Not many videos like these bring tears to my eyes, but this one, this one really got me, such beautiful creatures
Same here. We need to do what we can. Every little bit helps.
Me too, and I rarely cry.
Disposing of horses or any animals after they have worked so hard for humans is disgusting and a huge blight on America. Thanks to all the good people out there who rescue! Love and blessings to each one.
It's not just America - this is epidemic in Ireland and Britain, and I suspect in Europe as well.
Congratulations for your marvellous work. You are the perfect example of what should be an achieving life
For all the therapy benefits that horses provide to people, there should be state and nationally funded programs to provide care for these beautiful creatures.
It’s a win win situation. Thank you for making this video and for all that participate in the daily funding and maintenance of rescuing these sweet animals.
I don't even freaking understand why they're sent to slaughter. Just because they can't work doesn't mean they can't enjoy retirement comfortably in a field or as a therapy horse. I just don't get it.
@@explodingtomahawks7589 It takes a lot of land and food etc. so essentially is down to money. The modern Judeo-Christian world has lost its soul and so therefore such atrocities happen.
Yes, for all the depressed folks out there on pharmaceutical drugs, and even prisoners etc., learning natural horsemanship and working with horses would be absolutely life changing. If, there are wealthy entrepeneurial horse folks out there why not start such programs, and yes, there should absolutely be government funded programs as well, but, certainly this SHOULD BE HAPPENING widescale.
Not only that, but human history quite literally wouldn't be where it is right now without the horse. Our history is written on the backs of horses. We owe them respect.
This made me cry. The horses deserve forever homes where they are cared for, even a tiny bit spoiled.
Yep. I'm ugly crying. These poor babies......
Yeah I seen people done that with cattle too with bad hoofs hardly can walk on, but guess what nobody cares. So why would people care about horses if they live or dies? Cuz apparently life goes on.

@@efeste1173 why?
@R S It doesn't take a PhD to figure out why that is. These horses aren't being rescued so that they be rehabilitated to be put back to work again you bozo.
The kill pen is a nightmare. Thank you for rescuing fellow Earth beings who have done nothing wrong but were used and then discarded. Anyone who does this to a living creature is bad. End of.
agreed. we have 7 horses, all from the kill pens. we try to save/rehab/train/re-home as many animals we can.

Sincerest gratitude to the folks in this video and everyone involved with rescuing animals in need. May God bless you all and assist you in your work🙏🏼
I love how all animals are so resilient and will bounce back from the most grotesque and horrific treatment and still show trust and love to humans. I wish I was as forgiving as they are.
Amen.
Not all of them bounce back. My niece has a horse who was quite severely abused and is now severely traumatized. She rescued the mare and has been trying to gain her trust for several years now but, so far, it's not really working. This horse is so traumatized by what she's been through that she's lost ALL trust in humans whatsoever. The only way to catch her for anything is for the vet to come out and dart her with a tranquilizer gun. Even the vet says to euthanize the horse but my niece is a bit of an animal whisperer so I think the mare will come around eventually. She's also rescued an abused cow so the cow and horse live together. She's gained the trust of the cow. That cow will do anything for apples. LOL It's a former dairy cow that was listed for slaughter due to bad feet gotten from standing her entire life on concrete in her own poop, just to provide us with milk. The industrial dairy system in the US is appalling that way.

To see the size of these beautiful, majestic creatures, looking like bags of bones, brings tears to my eyes.
And seeing all those scars was the worse. Probably inflicted over many years by many ignorant, basic humans.
Why treat a creature you rely on to help you so badly...it doesn't make sense.
How wonderful then to see that these animals can finally be given love and care by such wonderful people. Us mere animal lovers watching this thank you all for all that you've done and do💕
As a person that has owned horses just about all my life I can not believe people would let a beautiful horse like that get in that shape.
Exactly my thoughts, too.
Having horses costs money. An unforeseen problem can make the cost impossible to pay.
Of course the best thing to do is get help early. Unfortunately humans hold on as long as possible, and things spiral out of control.
IF YOU CAN NO LONGER AFORD THE UPKEEP OF A HORSE GET HELP IMMEDIATELY. DON’T WAIT
@@JFS1215 if it gets to where you can not afford the upkeep of owning a horse mule or donkey. Please give them to someone who can keep the animal healthy
I would. I have one in my barn as we speak whose owner, a friend of mine, allowed to become literally skeletal under his blanket. I found out why she never took his blanket off and when he developed a hoof infection from neglect, I seized my chance and her horse. We still speak, she feeds him in the morning and brings food by each week but if it hadn't been for me and my husband, her horse would have died within weeks, no lie at all. He was 30 when I brought him here and is 33 years old now and looks fantastic. When I confronted her about his health, she tried to give me a noncommittal "Oh, he always gets that way in the winter", to which I answered "and you never bothered to readjust his diet??". Poor boy has nubs for teeth and she was feeding him whole grains. He can't chew them and can't digest them. She claims to have a "degree in stable management" yet had no idea what beet pulp was.
Honestly, if she's this apathetic about him, why keep him? As it is, he has essentially become my horse as I have physical custody of him and provide most of his food, daily care, and medical/farrier care. She always says she'll pay me back, etc., but I highly doubt it. It always seems that horse people come in two varieties: responsible owners and flakes who make endless excuses.
@@JFS1215 Why do they continue to exploit and use the horses for their own pleasure by riding them at this rescue place???? Ask a horse if they like someone jumping on their back and yanking reins in their mouth. They know when they're being used and they do not bond with people who ride them.
This hit me hard. I just started working at a horse sanctuary, after 15 months at a long-term care center. I felt like I won the lottery the first time one of the horses let me kiss their nose.
Aw!
I am glad this beautiful horse had a second chance!
Breaks my heart to think people could bring harm to animals. Not sure what’s happened to them to treat animals with such disregard to inflict pain.

That's made to be eaten.. like why do you think other countries eats dogs.? Reality they eat what God has given them and horses ain't no different.
Horses are giant dogs. I can't imagine killing a dog. People that spend their lives to rescue any animal and make them whole again are heros in my book. Honestly, I've only ever rescued and adopted dogs, especially older ones or ones that have been in the system too long. They have been the best friends and the most loving in my experience. You can feel the love and appreciation everytime you look at them
Cows are the same. Pigs, Chickens! Hope you are Vegan!
We kill lots of dogs every day, go to the vet and look in the freezer.

Followed them since Colby. She’s an Angel for these horses. So happy to see her featured on here.
I have a horse. There’s a special connection they have with the ones who love them. If you like the smell of hay and a barn full of horses, you love them. This was both amazing and HEARTBREAKING. We also have a donkey named Tilly. She loves getting her nails “done” and she’s so sweet. Horses are grateful, appreciative and ornery too. How anyone could neglect, hurt or do this has no SOUL. You guys are more than caring humans..You are THE BEST KINDS OF CARING HUMANS. Our horse came from Nevada and was once wild. She has a number branded along side her neck under her beautiful mane. She’s called Nugget. From the mines of Virginia City. Mustang. I’m going out to the paddock and hugging her AGAIN. 🤗 🥺
Extra big hug from Edmonton Canada as well please Leesa! Thanks for the love and caring you exhibit!
my uncle got a wild mustang. He had other horses too, but their way of "breaking in" a horse was just breaking the horse. Thank you for taking care of your mustang! Greetings to Nugget! So you know, the way my dad treated animals was so very different. He was kind, they trusted and loved him. We children grew up to know and understand the difference. We all took after my dad.

I cried hard at this. I'm so grateful for people like you who save these magnificent creatures. I don't know how people can use these horses as work horses & then dispose of them without a second thought. I don't understand how anyone can say any animal have no souls. You need only to look into their eyes to see it. Blessed Be you & all who do this work. I have a friend who moved to Eastern Oregon, bought a ranch & now she works with horse rescues.
I can relate to this. I’m not comfortable around horses, never have been. Frankly, I’m afraid of them.
However, my wife ended getting a older rescue horse that was in pretty bad shape. Honestly, we probably paid too much for him, but there was no way we were going to let him suffer one more minute. It’s been a long road getting him back in shape, and we’ve got a long way to go, but like the woman in the video, he’s woken something inside me I didn’t know was even there. That’s what I want to do, too.
This is AMAZING! Is he helping you with your fear?
God Bless you also sir. Your a real HERO
@@avonleamontague2469 Yeah, he really is. The day she picked him up, I went up to where she’s keeping him I met up with her there as they were unloading him from a long day of traveling and a visit to a shoe-er (term?). They were busy checking him over and cleaning him up, so I sucked it up and held his lead, and he just laid his head into me like it was the first kindness he’d seen in a long time. Melted my heart, if I’m honest. I don’t know the first thing about horses, but I’m darn well going to learn. He may not have many years left, but we are determined to make them good ones.
@@earlaroberts5034 Nah, just trying to do right by an innocent creature. They said the woman who had him (and 30 other starving horses) said “I feed my good horses.” Unbelievable. Thank you, though.
Believe it or not, that same woman messaged the woman who’s property we are keeping him on and is helping us get him into shape when she posted photos of his weight-gain progress. Former owner actually had the audacity to ask to buy him back. We easily could have made our money back, but there is no way that is happening. She’s never going to see him again, period.
Bless you and God give you strength to keep doing what you are feeling in your heart.
Oh my gosh!! We need more and more people like you. Thank you for saving my favorite animal. If I had the funds to start a rescue I would. God bless all of you! God bless all of God's creatures. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴

@@Julia67126 There's always one, and you're it. Perhaps, I should've said, "Your it," so you could get another round of jollies.
It's called a typo, auto-correct, ESL, etc. The world doesn't revolve around your bedroom.
The women running this rescue are some badass home girls in my book. Stay safe and strong I wish you continued success in your amazing work. Every woman and girl every human being should consider finding something they're passionate about that does good work in our world. This is really beautiful. Saving lives one at a time. What an honorable beautiful thing to do with majestic animals.
Horses are such lovely animals. Just look at the fellow's eyes, during the very last seconds of this video. The intelligence and warmth are so easy to see.
We'd still be living in caves if it wasn't for horses doing all the heavy work that laid the foundations for civilization.
that kiss at the end is just so adorable, the gratitude and love wow. Wonderful humans 🥰😍
GOD PROVIDES MIRACLES! WOW.
I love God Most High!
I wanted to cry watching this beautiful boy try to walk.
Unfortunately so many cruel and abusive humans roam this earth….at least likewise so many kindhearted ones rescue them and give them the love and care they deserve ❤️
When I saw the kill pens, that made me sad thinking about the fate of those horses. I can’t imagine how easy it is for people to turn their horses in to get slaughtered. 😕🤬
I’m so crushed that humans can neglect and mistreat animals. And I’m so thankful to those who save these wonderful animals! God bless you!
And you know for sure that's exactly how it happened huh?
@@thedutchman8793 Did you see the state of the horse's body and hooves? Are you brain-dead?
