The adoption events make my heart swell with happiness. I cry every time I see a horse loaded onto a trailer and headed to their forever home. Thank you Horse Plus for saving these animals from the slaughter pipe line. You all are angels from God!♥️♥️
I LOVE your vet. A knowledgeable man. A great bedside manner too. The farrier I'd take home...we have a family horse in Washington state that could use his gentle approach. There is a shortage of good farriers right now.
Trailer Safety: On a freeway, I witnessed a crappy, rusty old trailer with 2 horses blow a tire, fishtail and flip landing on its side so one horse crushed the other but also broke a leg = both died. The truck, by the way, was a big, beautiful super charge deal so these folks had money... please maintain trailers!
A friend of mine was towing her horse in an old borrowed trailer. The floor gave out during transport. By the time they realized what happened, the horses legs were gone. It was the saddest most horrible thing I ever saw. Please do a thorough safety check of your Trailer before transporting. On a positive note, a passerby saw what happened and it just so happens they bred thoughrobreds. They donated an amazing horse. 💞
Much respect to everyone at horse plus! I hope to adopt from them in the future 😊 I really appreciate the farrier, he’s very understanding, love the way he handles the younger fidgety horses. I’m glad it was another successful event!
I love all the medical stuff, we often hear about the treatments but never see them carried out. More videos of medical care please. It also shows the dedication required to look after a horse or any large animal
The farrier is such a good man around the horses. He has patience instead of jerking them around. At least he's trying different aboriginal methods. LOL
I admire you all for the work you do.I’ve owned and looked after horses for over 60 years and I hope I’ve learned a thing or two over that time ,so I have a reservation.Some of the adopters are pretty heavy and their weight plus that of a heavy western saddle would be a heavy load for a horse who was fit,sound,well nourished and well muscled.These horses are none of those things and many of them are old as well.If the adopters don’t see this glaringly obvious problem what else don’t they know?It’s not enough to love your horse and think it’s pretty,you have to understand about it’s welfare and limitations.And for goodness sake use a mounting block!
Yes, I did notice a very heavy woman adopted a small horse to ride. ?????????? I suppose you cannot discriminate folks because they are thick……iDK. They could suggest a larger, healthier horse who could carry the extra weight.
Ok... I've got to be honest, this old lady has a huge crush on your farrier. He is such a good man, funny, charming, patient, and bonus, great with animals 🥰 ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
@@yosemite735 Because its a pretty poor state and healthy food is expensive and can be hard to find (look up Food Deserts) so many can only eat cheap fast food or cant find a store with fresh produce
I don’t blame T.G. For being so hesitant to load up on that “float/trailer”. It would never pass certification or a (as we have here) a Warrant/certificate of (road) fitness here in New Zealand. It looked dodgy AF! EDIT: I am not judging this family specifically. I am shocked at the lack of legislation around safety standards for cars and trailers alike in the USA.
Listen, I lived through the #Buttefire of 2015. I saw horses in the bed of trucks. Talk about sketchy. Don't be so judging. You don't know their story. Lovely people came to give him a loving home.
@@kristenlynn3458 it’s not just them. They are really nice people for sure. I’m judging legislation in the USA not that family. It’s almost every episode of any RUclips account where I see trailers that are not fit for purpose.
Good luck & "Happy Trails" to Travis! He's been an amazing employee at Horse Plus! Love the adoption events & happy for Journey to get the trainer that loves him/her(?).❤️
Aah. Donkeys have sensitive ears and mostly do not like them being tickled. It is a common misconception tithing they like their ears being tickled. Wonderful team and wonderful work
Y'all are an amazing group of people that come together & go above & beyond for all these precious animals. Many blessings will come to each of you. Take Care and God Bless
Your farrier has a wicked sense of humour he has me in stitches every time he's on. Loved the story about journey and the trainer being ecstatic about the switch. That sandy voloured mile( whose name eludes me is do beautiful. Id have it in a heartbeat but its a bit far to come ftom England. Love what you do guys, thank you.💜👌💜👍💜
I love the fact that the adoptors came back for the half brother. I am a strong advocate for considering the emotional health of animals. Animals are not things like a tin can or a paper bag. Treating animals as things is to abuse the animal. This side of pet ownership is often disregarded and this is when we have health issues and a failure to thrive. Both half brothers will be so much better off now that they are going to be kept together.
I just love this Ferrier he is flippin awesome. I have never seen an actual Ferrier care about his charges the way he does. If I wasn't old, I'd remember his name, lol!
I’ve never been a fan of long videos until I found you all today. So far I’ve watched five hours worth. So much for my Saturday plans. Thank you so much for the love and compassion you show these beautiful magnificent animals.
It's so awesome that all y'all had so many adoptions .What a blessing these majestic animals found loving homes .Cant wait until the next episode have a blessed weekend all y'all .
I love your farrier! He knows what he's doing, is so good with teaching the ones who are a little uneasy with their feet being worked with! Get him a hat and shirt, whatever he wants...you want to keep him happy!
So happy they adopted T.G. and reunited the brothers. Family belongs together and they both will be happier horses. Bless the new owners. Very heartouching to see this kind of love and generosity. Bless them and Horse Plus for all they do. A Colorado Mountain Grandma, USA
Love you guys, love what you do.. Watching from Sweden and wish Tennessee wasn't so far away. I would love to help, work, adopt, take care of kittens, clean the stables and what ever needed. All i can do is to support and make some small donations and just be in awe what you accomplish every day at horse plus. You are awesome, every one of you.
Way to go catching that booze bottle!!! And I loved the fast action to get to the bottom of it like everyone did. It's a great policy you have for the safety and best interests of all. Because you never know how horses can react to the smell of alcohol on someone's breath or clothing. They could have been violently abused when someone was drinking near them. This happens in dogs and cats as well. And you should never EVER drink on any job, especially construction!!! Great work everyone, hope whoever did it gets caught and at least docked. If it were my call, I would make this person give the docked pay amount to the shelter as part of their punishment. : )
Heaps of 🐎 saved from being turned into just 🥩 and have a life now,go’s to show,never too late ⏰ for saving,please don’t 🛑 👀 at the lives you have been saved ,you lot are doing good 👍
Watching from Australia. You all do an amazing job. The horses are so lucky to have you all . It is amazing that you have so many people donating to these horses. Keep up the great work.
Every time I watch you guys it breaks my heart the evil and the lack of love for these animals ... my god watch over each and everyone that didn’t make it and those that did ..I love you guys from the bottom of my heart ..🌸🌸🌸🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘🦋🦋🦋🙈🙊🙉🐴🐴🐴🦁🦁🦁🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for making this video. Love the horses and am happy you found them all good homes. Praying you are able to continue to do your good works of helping horses. In Jesus name. Amen. God bless
Oh, my!!! SMH.... I know Y'all can't help but wonder what is wrong with the owners of a lot of these poor babys. Bless all your hearts for the work you do.❤❤❤✌
I don't do TikTok or Facebook. I found you all here on RUclips and glad I did. When you ask for help, please remember those of us who do not use TikTok or Facebook. I'll look for you on other social media, too.
Oh my gosh I love this episode so much! Them boys are funny too! He says, this here is my manager and my body guard 💂♂️....😜 Yes I'm worried about overly heavy folks on these horses as well.
I started watching your videos just before Travis started, so I feel like I have been following his journey and will miss seeing him. Also gotta laugh at the Farrier come Crocodile Dundee…I think the new version of the movie ‘Horsie Dundee’ will say, ‘That’s not a big file…This IS a big file!’
I should waited before previous message. Your farrier adds something 2 your vid that helps us all not be so stressed out about a very serious issue with helping horses. THX
Love your organization, a huge THANK YOU for all you do for these beautiful living beings!! Also love your Ferrier he’s terrific and is very easy on the eyes as well. ♥️♥️♥️
Hi again! Great job you all on the successful adoption day. After working with and caring for them all it must be so wonderful when a good home works out for them! The horse Doc was commenting on with what he suspected was back problems is a prime candidate for some chiropractic and other alternatives! I personally was skeptical at first but after seeing excellent results many many times I became a believer! Think that would be a perfect addition to round out your program. Farrier still makes me smile and he does a beautiful job. Thx so much for sharing. A super vid this time! Catcha again next time.
Aww I’m in Australia but would love to adopt the ginger kitten, beginning of the year I lost my baby boy tiger he was 21 years old and I got him for a birthday present when I was 4. Tiger is currently cremated and sits in my kitchen in his favourite spot.
As someone who is currently quite overweight myself - and all too aware of how that limits my choice of riding horse - I find that there is not nearly enough educational material on your channel to highlight the fact that a rider (+ tack) should weigh no more than 20% of the weight of the horse they are riding. This is 10% in the UK, so maybe 15% is a better goal. It doesn't matter how lovely a person is, if they are too heavy for the horse they intend to ride, they will harm it - and not realise they are doing so. This channel could help even more horses by highlighting this hugely important issue. How many well-meaning riders are not aware of this? It needs to be known, as does the fact that the condition, age, and type of the horse all need to be taken account when considering the right human-horse weight ratio. Otherwise, horses may suffer unintentional abuse. That said, you all do fabulous, compassionate, life-changing work - thank you!
I light rider can just as much ruin a horses back as a heavy rider can... I know more heavy riders who have a pretty good harmony with the movements which should be the number one goal for any rider. Nothing hurts more than seeing someone riding and you see the horse suffer every step it takes or even its breath pushed out by an unbalanced rider. But yes there of course are limits.
It also must be said that some horses with short, broad backs can carry relatively more weight without issues, while a tall, lanky, long and narrow backed horse can comfortably carry less weight relative to body weight. People are often fooled into thinking just because a horse is tall it's suitable for a heavier person. In the old days they used to breed Mounted Infantry ponies (small horses--14.3-15.1hh) that were built to carry heavy loads. And of course there are jobs for horses that don't require being ridden, eg therapy horse or driving horse.
From Texas...Thank You...!!!...Well To Say. You Have Stated Properly The TRUTH. Keep On Keeping On. Bless Whomever You Are. Sail On. Randall Acord...HUGS, From an old horse...gal
So glad the horses and donkeys and mules got adopted love you guys and I follow Peyton Christian on TikTok love what she does to and it's always good to see Garrick working with the horses so well
Hi Doc, do you test for Lime's disease in horses? It can cause overall body stiffness and founder symptoms. That could be the chestnut with the white socks problem, or a chiropractor may help.
The farrier you guys have is worth his weight in gold, thank you for your patience, god bless you all Xxxx

Standup farrier. Everyone wishes for this guy.😄😄😄
The adoption events make my heart swell with happiness. I cry every time I see a horse loaded
onto a trailer and headed to their forever home. Thank you Horse Plus for saving these animals from the slaughter pipe line. You all are angels from God!♥️♥️
I LOVE your vet. A knowledgeable man. A great bedside manner too.
The farrier I'd take home...we have a family horse in Washington state that could use his gentle approach. There is a shortage of good farriers right now.
Trailer Safety: On a freeway, I witnessed a crappy, rusty old trailer with 2 horses blow a tire, fishtail and flip landing on its side so one horse crushed the other but also broke a leg = both died. The truck, by the way, was a big, beautiful super charge deal so these folks had money...
please maintain trailers!
A friend of mine was towing her horse in an old borrowed trailer. The floor gave out during transport. By the time they realized what happened, the horses legs were gone. It was the saddest most horrible thing I ever saw. Please do a thorough safety check of your Trailer before transporting. On a positive note, a passerby saw what happened and it just so happens they bred thoughrobreds. They donated an amazing horse. 💞

So nice to see Dusty and Dennis adopted. I hope Muffin finds a loving home…she’s beautiful.
450 for adoption and fees waived?!?! In Australia it's all above 1000. God bless you for what you do ❤❤❤
Ikr there amazing
In Poland adoptions are free but with some strict rules - a horse can't ever be bred or ridden by anyone other than a new owner (even a family member)
Exchange rates make it not so far off equal.
@@visenna9that’s dumb
@@addywalker477 I agree... those strict rules are really discouraging for a lot of people to adopt a horse here

I'm praying that one day soon
A 🐎horse chiropractor will be
A team member with y'all 💞👍
i think they said that they do have a horse chiropractor but that they prefer to stay off the videos
So, slowly but surely the farrier is stealing the show 😊
Travis is going to be Hard to Replace. Such a talented Man.
Little Dennis is a beautifully put together lil guy. Very pretty.😍
It would be nice to get some clarification on weight of adoptees and horse size.
The women are huge in TN. Crazy. I wonder why?
@@yosemite735 Because its a pretty poor state and healthy food is expensive and can be hard to find (look up Food Deserts) so many can only eat cheap fast food or cant find a store with fresh produce
Bless the adoptees who take the responsibility of caring for these wonderful animals!
SO sad to see Travis go he will be missed - the guys on horse plus are all SO gorgeous and make such a great contribution to the work done there
Ima and the lady looked so cute in their adoption pic.
Garrick is absolutely correct about Crocodile Dundee!
I don’t blame T.G. For being so hesitant to load up on that “float/trailer”. It would never pass certification or a (as we have here) a Warrant/certificate of (road) fitness here in New Zealand. It looked dodgy AF!

yeah---well, that's Tennessee for you. Some folks are barely keeping heads above water there, financially.

I LOVE your farrier!!! He has such a big heart (and he's not hard to look at either). Blessed Be!
chiropractor or acupuncturist for the 13 yro with the ache all over! it can truly be miraculous ❤
The chiro works, made a huge difference in training my mustang. He was in pain more than wild.
I don't think they have time for chiropractic care I may be wrong
I am sorry we won’t be seeing Travis anymore. Be happy Travis. I hope you enjoy your new job.
WELL DONE!!! Keep up the good fight.. for the Animals bracelets... Kudos to you... Respectfully, Carol, Reno,Nv.

Hi Doc, do you test for Lime's disease in horses? It can cause overall body stiffness and founder symptoms. That could be the chestnut with the white socks problem, or a chiropractor may help.
