Can we just rejoice that Clementine has found a home? Horse Plus says there is a trainer lined up for her, so stop it already with all the negative comments.
Equally important is how this episode shows that loading and trailering are learned skills for horses AND humans. Horses are not born understanding that the enclosed space in front of them is safe. And even experienced humans, when faced with a horse they have never loaded/trailered have to figure out what combination of enticements that specific horse needs. Happy New Home Clementine! ❤
@@hphs the comment is about the size of the horse vs the size of the rider. Nothing that a trainer can fix since the trainer cannot shrink the rider or enlarge the horse. Happy that CLementine has found a home but I fear it may not be the right one.
Agreed! By not whipping her into the trailer, Clementine is going to be easier to load next time they need to trailer her! Yes, it requires patience, yes, it required more time than us impatient humans wanted, but it was done RIGHT. Also, she probably associated the tiny 2-horse with the squeeze chute.
What awesome teamwork guys, no one lost their cool while Miss Clementine worked on her courage to load, think she is off to her perfect, loving, forever home. You all take good care, Kathy
@@denisec5904 I love how much Hailey has brought to HP: I hope she decides to stay and continue her work and dedication to these beautiful animals! She is a valuable asset to the team at HP! ❤️
May the Great Spirit bless the Navajo Nation. May the knowledge they bring be shared far and wide. I too am a gentler. With all animals I've worked over several decades. My first horse was an old gelding, I rode him with nothing but his mane for directions, no saddle, just hop on and off we'd go! It felt so normal to me to connect with horses as a wee boy. Oh by the way, this episode should be totally dedicated to Oh my darlin Clementine! 🤠🐎
The way Clementine side stepped over to her adopter and nodded her head after the girl said she would adopt her was beautiful. As if she was agreeing that she should have been adopted! 😍
wow, the Horse gentling program at work already! Look at how calm Clementine is with the lead around her front legs, no one noticed, but seriously, that's HUGE to have a horse be safe around things on their feet.
Congratulations to Clementine and her lovely new owner. I’m so glad she finally found her forever home. She was just waiting for her person. The horse gentlers do an amazing job. Thanks for sharing xx
Glad you stayed filming getting the horse loaded, it was interesting and so good she is finally adopted, she's a beautiful horse and I feel that she will be loved, forever...!
I miss seeing Kory and watching him work with the horses and mules. But I'm really loving that you're now working with the Indigenous Peoples and the Way they work with the horses to Gentle and train them. I'm also happy to hear that the word "broke" is no longer used. And...what a surprise to see that Clementine is a "jumper"! lol
Good on all of you for helping get Clementine into the trailer. My husband and I have a system for getting a horse into a trailer who has a hard time loading or hasn't been in one before, and it's very similar to what you guys did. We once got an unhandled 4-yo stallion into a trailer in about 30 minutes. It takes patience and positive praise. I love seeing this. Thank you for being so kind to her.
Have also opened the front doors of the trailer so it's not a dark hole. The chest barrier still stops the horse but they're more confident going into the light.
I think clementine didn't want to leave. She had a safe home where she knew everyone. She didn't have good associations with trailers because of what happened when she was a baby.
I think Clementine found her person. Someone that wants to train and grow a bond with a young horse. Clementine needs that one on one and I'm excited for both of them. As for trailering that's a skill that is a trust based skill, Clem will get there with consistency and gentle training. I have confidence in her adopter, good luck!
@heartlesskitten88 I 100% agree! I'm excited for them both: this has been a long time coming! I wish them both the best of love, kindness, understanding, trust, and compassion ❤️
That's not good. You rape the young mare. Far too much pressure. Even if you get her on the trailer like this. The owner should practise with her at home, in peace and quiet.
Poor Clementine...she was just frightened that's all. There's nothing wrong with how she was loaded. It was kind and professional and most of all, she must learn how to load. I wish the young lady many years of happiness with her new partner!
I totally get all the criticism and stuff but at the same time you got to remember this young woman has been a member of this channel and will be reading all these comments. The horse will continue to grow as she gets it training and trains it. Some of the comments are just harsh and unkind. ❤❤❤ Congratulations Clem🎉
What is in wrong in the world 2024, you can not condemn on the one hand by doing the same on the other hand. You named it "unkind" but for the horses it really matters and this is all about the horses. There is a rule, horses should not carry more than 15 % of their body weight, to avoid longterm health problems.
@@sandrabeck8788 If 50 years around horses and a bachelor degree in animal science- horse specialization does not entitle me to an opinion, I do not know what would???
Clementine is a beautiful horse, so happy for her! Love to see the husband and wife handling the wild horses, they are amazing!! Thank you for your daily video's, I love it! Thank you HPHS you are amazing ❤
Wow! She finally JUMPED IN! Such patience they found to deal with this. I hope the new adopters are not frightened by the prospect of trailering her in the future....
I'm sure they're training will comply with feeding her in the trailer in a pasture where she can go in and eat. That's how a lot of people train their horses to get into trailers.
The normal thing to do IF one has time is to just feed the horse in the trailer and put the food more inside of it each day till horse just goes all the way in. That works well if one doesn't have to urgently get a horse onto trailer. The new owner having more time with things should not have issues with that.
Wow, the Navajo tamers are beyond good they're spiritual, so connect to the herd mentality. You have out done yourselves partnering with the Navajo Nation.
Sometimes horses fear a trailer because the interior is dark and they can't see what monsters might await them in there - so making sure they can see the interior clearly can help. And obviously they couldn't get her into the right side of the trailer, but she got in - and that took a lot of work and I'm sure her new family knows how to get her home safely. Well done everyone!
Hi from Ontario, Canada! You are all amazing people to help these horses with grace and kindness! She may need a moment to herself to figure it out on her own. Lots of tail swishing going on.
The young girl will learn so much from that mare. Just stick with it , be creative, be patient and seek knowledge from good horsemen. Never lose your temper but if you do just know it doesn't work. I'm so grateful for all the challenges my animals have made me face. It pays off .
I would suggest You Tube trainers Ryan Rose and Pear Tree Ranch - Those two people will teach you everything you need to know about a green horse. Good luck.
2 horse straight load trailers are SO challenging for even the best of horses. Ive had horses who load phenomenally but dont want anything to do with a 2 horse straight. Its very confined, and dark, and theyre smart that they know they cant even turn around once theyre in. Its against their nature to put themselves in such tight spots. I never recommend this style of trailer. If the divider couldve been removed it likely wouldve increased the chance of success. Good job working with what you got though!
So so happy for Clementine and her new owner! They seem like such a good match. Horse Plus team - you are doing such good work! Those trailers are so tough to load in!! If a top predator tried to pull me into a metal cave on wheels, I’d fight it too!
The young adopter is seeing what a young horse is really like that hasn't been trained to load. I kind of wish she would have changed her mind and took the older mare that went right in. Hopefully, she will have help at home with a trainer.
I got the impression she'd trained horses before. Also Horse Plus does not approve adoptions of green horses unless the person has training experience or has a trainer lined up. They vet these adoptions thoroughly before approval.
She said she wanted a horse TO TRAIN so if that is what she really wants (Horseplus Im sure would have made sure she has experience at training) this horse is ideal for her. It shouldn't be hard to teach horse to load onto a trailer when she's got more time at home.
I think she just needs patience, it is not for those of us watching to criticize people who have dedicated themselves to saving horses and other animals. Each animal has to look things over and be allowed to accept in their own way. Please keep doing what you do. Horse plus
@@edwardgilmore5595 Do you have the time to volunteer to go help every horse there to learn to load? It is overwhelming. Maybe we should all take turns going and helping with that.
I think she remembers the last time she rode in a trailer... No food or water, it was horrible and It was deadly for some of her friends. Then the Horse Plus personnel made her feel safe, loved and like, this must be what heaven is like and she thought, I am never leaving! Can you blame her for not wanting to get on the trailer?
Good luck to Clementine and her adopters. I can't wait to see updates on her progress. I'm sure trailer loading will be one of the lessons that will be worked on a lot. That leap she took at the end there shows she was willing, just couldn't figure out how to get her hind feet in too. 😄
Great job of patience. Been there done that sometimes I take out the center divider to give them more space. A lot of them don’t like tight areas, but all in all loading was handled very kindly.
Clementine loves you all, didn't want to leave! I just love little Sage! I've been watching Sages story since the beginning. I have checked the adoption page over and over with mixed feelings. Wanting a family to be found, but wishing it was me. Can't wait to see what these gifted trainers accomplish!!!! ❤
I remember this happening at a show I was at. It took hours. they finally brought in someone who could get the job done with no damage to the horse. Loading your horse is one of the first things that we got taught to do.
First of I love the daily updates, thank you so much for all the amazing work you do for all the animals! And it is amazing how gentle and patient you are in literally teaching her slowly but surely to enter the trailer! NICELY DONE, I'm so proud of you all! 😍🥳🥳💕
I don't blame Clementine for not wanting to load after going through the auction system. Perhaps she was crammed into one tightly with other horses, and the snugness of the little trailer brought back memories. I'm surprised any of them want to get in a trailer again after what they've been through
I absolutely love that you are benefiting from the Navajo gentlers and that Clementine got her forever home. As excited as that young lady was, I think it was worth the wait.
Clementine will get it when she does more going in an out of the trailer but for her it was scary for the first time but im glad she find her forever home ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Navajo people are great horse trainers, im glad they are getting employment, it really helps out their families because often they dont have alot of income. For some reason they seem to kinda horse whisperer, they have calm souls, that they connect with horses and are able to break though to horses that have issues, a horse that seems impossible a Navjo can reach and train them
As an old trainer, I hope this girl takes her time with Clementine. As for getting her into a trailer, Clem may have been hurt or scared at some time while she was in or being loaded into a trailer. If she has ever had a bad experience with a trailer, it may take some time for her to get comfortable getting to where she will get into one comly. She may want to start with an open stock trailer and then work up to the trailer she will be hauling her in regularly.
I kept thinking bring up the stock trailer and try loading her on that several times before going back to the two-horse. But they got it done ... patience is everything.
I borrowed a 2 horse straight haul to pick up my very green horse lol Its a challenge for sure. but just one month later the trainer showed up with a bigger I think 6 horse trailer and she just walked on lol Bigger is better ;)
My dad had untreated Streptococcal when he was in the Military during the Korean War. Ten years later it had destroyed his Kidneys. He was one of the first people on Dialysis and was possibly going to one of the first Kidney transplants, but his heart was too damaged by that time. He passed when I was I had just turned nine. Do not fool around with Strep, especially as you get older!!!!!!
Sorry to hear about your dad. There are different kinds of Strep, it is very common for people to have Strep on their skin or up their noses, something like one in every four cases of strep in the nose are of the toxic kind of Strep so not good for general health. I've had that treated as I have chronic illness. I've also had an strep infection in my leg twice which started to turn an area of my leg black. Fortunately courses of antibiotics fixed it, I had to have the strep tested to find out which antibiotic was best to use on it, the strep I had was resistant against 8 of the 10 antibiotics it was tested against. Antibiotic resistant strep is a big issue in hospitals.
Not the way Steve Young woulda done it, lol! But, HOLY MOLY----What a transformation from last December until now! Good Work. So glad she's on to her next chapter.
I was thinking that and thinking she may have loaded up better with his method which I've watched on youtube in the past with another hard to load horse (if I'm remembering correctly the horse he was getting to load had previously been injured in a trailer so had ended up previously with stitches so was terrified of trailers). I know he would have circled the horse more rather than having it standing there so long thinking about refusing. That video was such a great video in loading hard to load horses
I apologize if this is not all right to mention here, but Bowie Texas Livestock got in a huge shipment of Amish Belgian draft horses. Fletcher Farms Amarillo has rescued six of them, but Bowie still has some adults left, plus nine colts and fillies between the ages of four and six months. Can anyone help?
Is it my imagination or is Honey the donkey depressed? She looks so sad. So happy for Clementine finding her new home. Everyone there works together to get a job done. It took a lot to load her but she did it with everyone's help and encouragement.
Remember pressure motivate realize teaches. Always take your time with a young horse. Great guy. He is a good handler Everything means something for the horse.
Corey was a master at loading horses in the trailer, letting them load on their own guiding them from the back , using the flag. You will never win by pulling a horse's head. Placing the trailer in a better spot helps too.
RUclips channel of Steve Young Horsemanship has a lot of videos on horse trailering.without trying to force the horse into the trailer. In this video the horse is getting a lot of pressure releases for resisting. You might get the horse into the trailer for his/her new home, but then the new owner has a horse that won't trailer. Just FYI.
Can I just say how pretty Angela’s hair looks? Working with animals it’s not easy to look good, you more often than not end up modeling their bodily fluids 😓😱🫣 but when we see one of our peeps looking glam, we should call this out! Great style A!
I find it a bit strange that American horse trailers do not have ramps unlike those in the UK for instance. Admittedly the doors close differently but it does obviate horses having to arkwardly back off without seeing the distance, or judging where to put their hind hooves on getting in. Also large horsecarriers have side panels to the ramps to prevent accidents.
It looked to me like Clementine tried several times to lift her hind leg to step in the trailer but could not figure out how far up her leg has to go and was not sure how to step on the trailer. So on the end she decided to jump in. Smart horse 😊.
I totally agree with alisong2328! But I want to say something to Dr. Gina! Please, don´t be too humble! You are exactly as good as Dr. Lydia! You have your ways and she has hers! And Caitlyn, you and Dr. Gina ARE a dream team and probably more organised as Dr. Lydia!!
They are going to have to work with her. It will be better once she decompresses at her new home and they can take the time to do it slowly, without pressure. Baby steps.
@Lynne2106 Someone said Clementine wasn't used to that small of a trailer, and I'm sure with it being dark inside, she was scared of it. I personally think that once she gets to her new home and is able to decompress, she will adapt to her new friends and settle down: she is still in training, and I personally am excited to hear how her training is going in the future ❤️
Congratulations young lady on adopting Clementine - as you would realise - and certainly by now - not everything goes peachy on the day when you want it to! LOL. As the team said - shes only been floated/trailered (in Australia we call what you have a 2 horse straight load float - so would be written 2HSL and if it were a 3 horse angle - a 3HAL - then if it were a gooseneck that connects on the bed of a ute (what you guys call a truck or something like a Ford Ranger or a Mazda BT50 (Big Ted lol)) it would be a 3HALG) - anyhow - we call them floats - you call them trailers. I probably wouldn't get her out for a wander around if you have a long trip home. LOL. You have a WONDERFUL time with your new girly. I am so pleased that Horse Plus left all the loading saga in this video - and this is why - as I said - NOT everything goes well when you want it to. Clearly HP is open and honest about sharing the bad stuff as well as the good stuff. It's open documentation on it all, no hiding those moments of 'oh crud, maybe some loading on and off could have been worked on' - however as described at the start of the video Tawnee was discussing that Sage hasn't been broken through to yet in nearly a year. So that will be great to see too. Clementine is a total sweetie by the look of her - just young and still very much learning as Hailey showed you and lots to still work on but the basics on the ground are there. Clearly she works well with the pressure and release, so the rope slapping her butt gently was moving her forward slowly, and the pressure under her knee or fetlock to pick up a leg worked well too. I personally would love it if you could share with HP an update when you have let Clementine settle in and you manage to get some training into her. Or if you could /want to share your YT channel with us or pop a video up on the HP FB page maybe every now and then? Looking at her little bit of pushiness when you were leading her I think was nerves. You will be right. Again, congrats on your new baby.
Clementine,nice little horse but probably with a western saddle on top plus her adopter is not the best idea. You condemn Big Lick, poor horses with stacks and chains plus heavy stiff big old man on top, of course I agree. I follow your videos for years now and several times I was hoping that the adopter won´t be the rider because of size and weight. Except this problem I really like what you are doing there. Greetings from Hamburg / Germany
They said she is going to do ground work. The horse young and needs to mature. A horse is way more comfortable with a rider that knows how to move with the horse as I am sure this young lady does than a stiff 100lb beginner rider or a fearful rider.
@@nancyparks195 Sorry look at the whole anatomy of this little horse, what do you believe in what typ of horse will she develop ? We are unable to assess her riding skills, because there were no information given in this video. It is not the fault of this young lady, horse plus should make a better preselection even when they see what they are dealing with. I´m a professional rider and instructor, I have sold a lot of horses and ponys always looking for a good fit, to make both happy on the long run.
Re the old stallion with a possible streptococcus infection: Streptococcus is a well-known nasty bug. Not only does it cause strep throat, but causes scarlet fever when it gets into the bloodstream. Many many children died of scarlet fever in the 19th c before antibiotics. Beth in Little Women died of it. My aunt by marriage died of it age 9-turned into meningitis. It is what made Laura Ingall’s (Little House on the Prairie) older sister Mary blind. It is what made Helen Keller blind and deaf. If it goes further and gets into the heart it becomes rheumatic fever and often does permanent heart damage. My father had it and was in bed a year before he recovered.
My mom had Scarlet Fever when she was 5. She developed a mastoid infection and had to have surgery. Since she was quarantined, they had to operate using a marble-topped table in her house. She lost her hearing in that ear, and almost lost her life. This was in 1936.
Awesome video. Poor Clementine she loves HP so much she didn't want to leave. Like the old saying goes You can lead a horse to a trailer but you can't make him go in 😄. Question: Clementine has been at HP for over a year I'm kind of thinking that during that time someone should have trained her on loading. Anyhow I'm glad she finally got a new home 🏠👍.
Because they have been getting so many more horses in and a large number were totally untrained, they haven’t been able to give them as much training as might be desirable. They are there to rescue horses not prepare them fully for life as a rideable, trained horse. They do what they can to make the horses more adoptable, but their first concern is saving them.
It’s all very well making suggestions using hindsight. Horse plus is constantly evolving and takes on board new ideas all the time. Maybe they will be able to incorporate loading onto tiny trailers into their programme.

poor Clementine was sooo stressed getting loaded. she needed much more time to learn. i think the loading process should be part of daily training
Same here ❤
It is, but this trailer was extremely small and she is very young.
Clem does also have a more energetic and stubborn personality, like Hailey said she can be a bit pushy.
Horse Plus is not a training facility. They do the best they can.
@@edwardgilmore5595 Do you have the time to volunteer to go help every horse there to learn to load? It is overwhelming. Maybe we should all take turns going and helping with that.
Please remember to give a 'thumbs up' , suscribe, leave a commentt and shaire this vid to help
Clementine may have been the quickest adoption but she was the longest loader 😂
💯!
Yea a little scary at times 😮
For sure!!!
I think she remembers the last time she rode in a trailer... No food or water, it was horrible and It was deadly for some of her friends. Then the Horse Plus personnel made her feel safe, loved and like, this must be what heaven is like and she thought, I am never leaving! Can you blame her for not wanting to get on the trailer?
@@eleicajunstrom8724
Great point!! Horses ARE sentient beings! ❤️
Good luck to Clementine and her adopters. I can't wait to see updates on her progress. I'm sure trailer loading will be one of the lessons that will be worked on a lot. That leap she took at the end there shows she was willing, just couldn't figure out how to get her hind feet in too. 😄
Great job of patience. Been there done that sometimes I take out the center divider to give them more space. A lot of them don’t like tight areas, but all in all loading was handled very kindly.
Clementine loves you all, didn't want to leave!
I just love little Sage! I've been watching Sages story since the beginning. I have checked the adoption page over and over with mixed feelings. Wanting a family to be found, but wishing it was me. Can't wait to see what these gifted trainers accomplish!!!! ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Horse Plus for everything you do! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Tawnee
for answering my question 🐎🌟
I remember this happening at a show I was at. It took hours. they finally brought in someone who could get the job done with no damage to the horse. Loading your horse is one of the first things that we got taught to do.
Shes beautiful
First of I love the daily updates, thank you so much for all the amazing work you do for all the animals!
And it is amazing how gentle and patient you are in literally teaching her slowly but surely to enter the trailer! NICELY DONE, I'm so proud of you all! 😍🥳🥳💕
I don't blame Clementine for not wanting to load after going through the auction system. Perhaps she was crammed into one tightly with other horses, and the snugness of the little trailer brought back memories. I'm surprised any of them want to get in a trailer again after what they've been through
Steve young horsemanship!!!!!
Think the lad on board would have got there ok.
I absolutely love that you are benefiting from the Navajo gentlers and that Clementine got her forever home. As excited as that young lady was, I think it was worth the wait.
Clementine will get it when she does more going in an out of the trailer but for her it was scary for the first time but im glad she find her forever home ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Navajo people are great horse trainers, im glad they are getting employment, it really helps out their families because often they dont have alot of income. For some reason they seem to kinda horse whisperer, they have calm souls, that they connect with horses and are able to break though to horses that have issues, a horse that seems impossible a Navjo can reach and train them
As an old trainer, I hope this girl takes her time with Clementine. As for getting her into a trailer, Clem may have been hurt or scared at some time while she was in or being loaded into a trailer. If she has ever had a bad experience with a trailer, it may take some time for her to get comfortable getting to where she will get into one comly. She may want to start with an open stock trailer and then work up to the trailer she will be hauling her in regularly.
I kept thinking bring up the stock trailer and try loading her on that several times before going back to the two-horse. But they got it done ... patience is everything.
I borrowed a 2 horse straight haul to pick up my very green horse lol Its a challenge for sure. but just one month later the trainer showed up with a bigger I think 6 horse trailer and she just walked on lol Bigger is better ;)
Haily! Wish she wouldn't be going back home in December! She rocks!
My dad had untreated Streptococcal when he was in the Military during the Korean War. Ten years later it had destroyed his Kidneys. He was one of the first people on Dialysis and was possibly going to one of the first Kidney transplants, but his heart was too damaged by that time. He passed when I was I had just turned nine. Do not fool around with Strep, especially as you get older!!!!!!
I'm so sorry, love. Never having had a Dad, you were blessed to have had him for the precious time you did.❤
Sorry to hear about your dad. There are different kinds of Strep, it is very common for people to have Strep on their skin or up their noses, something like one in every four cases of strep in the nose are of the toxic kind of Strep so not good for general health. I've had that treated as I have chronic illness.
I've also had an strep infection in my leg twice which started to turn an area of my leg black. Fortunately courses of antibiotics fixed it, I had to have the strep tested to find out which antibiotic was best to use on it, the strep I had was resistant against 8 of the 10 antibiotics it was tested against. Antibiotic resistant strep is a big issue in hospitals.
@@tanyabrown9839 😱
Good job Keith !
Not the way Steve Young woulda done it, lol! But, HOLY MOLY----What a transformation from last December until now! Good Work. So glad she's on to her next chapter.
I was thinking that and thinking she may have loaded up better with his method which I've watched on youtube in the past with another hard to load horse (if I'm remembering correctly the horse he was getting to load had previously been injured in a trailer so had ended up previously with stitches so was terrified of trailers). I know he would have circled the horse more rather than having it standing there so long thinking about refusing. That video was such a great video in loading hard to load horses
To Clementie.. You did well at the end. Enjoy your new home now. You found the best home.
You guys did a great job with her. Adorable ❤
I apologize if this is not all right to mention here, but Bowie Texas Livestock got in a huge shipment of Amish Belgian draft horses. Fletcher Farms Amarillo has rescued six of them, but Bowie still has some adults left, plus nine colts and fillies between the ages of four and six months. Can anyone help?
Horse Plus doesn't do business with kill pens. Please look at the HPHS's documentary called "Truth About Kill Pens".
Streptococcal is at least a gram positive bacterial strain so hopefully can be treated
Kinda like pet store puppy mills ,all the doodles ,you are not helping the puppies just ordering more. Thats what bowie is about .😢
@@CarolineRichardson-n9b What does that have to do with Bowie?
@@vega4281 nothing…….
Yay Clementine!! She’s a beauty!😊😊
Please have patience with Clementine in training so she doesn't learn to explode when she is unsure.Glad she's found someone who will give her love.
Is it my imagination or is Honey the donkey depressed? She looks so sad. So happy for Clementine finding her new home. Everyone there works together to get a job done. It took a lot to load her but she did it with everyone's help and encouragement.
Easy you got it!!.. good job.
Remember pressure motivate realize teaches.
Always take your time with a young horse. Great guy.
He is a good handler
Everything means something for the horse.
I love you all❤
Corey was a master at loading horses in the trailer, letting them load on their own guiding them from the back , using the flag. You will never win by pulling a horse's head. Placing the trailer in a better spot helps too.
RUclips channel of Steve Young Horsemanship has a lot of videos on horse trailering.without trying to force the horse into the trailer. In this video the horse is getting a lot of pressure releases for resisting. You might get the horse into the trailer for his/her new home, but then the new owner has a horse that won't trailer. Just FYI.
Can I just say how pretty Angela’s hair looks? Working with animals it’s not easy to look good, you more often than not end up modeling their bodily fluids 😓😱🫣 but when we see one of our peeps looking glam, we should call this out! Great style A!
❤😊❤ awesome job all of you!
Greetings from New Jersey!
Me too!
Looks like Clementine doesn’t want to leave…❤
Awh Clementine ❤
Aother great episode ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Nice work everyone!
Fastest adoption, longest trailer entry 😂 shes beautiful ❤
Great video as always guys
Oh my word Tawnee PLEASE be VERY careful around that horse that has streptococcus.....it is a very, very nasty germ!! Take care all.....
I find it a bit strange that American horse trailers do not have ramps unlike those in the UK for instance. Admittedly the doors close differently but it does obviate horses having to arkwardly back off without seeing the distance, or judging where to put their hind hooves on getting in. Also large horsecarriers have side panels to the ramps to prevent accidents.
@barryandjackypowell8239. So true. A very good trailer is "Ifor Williams" made in the UK. Greetings from Germany.
It looked to me like Clementine tried several times to lift her hind leg to step in the trailer but could not figure out how far up her leg has to go and was not sure how to step on the trailer. So on the end she decided to jump in. Smart horse 😊.
Awesomeness ❤❤❤
Great job guys!❤
Clementine isn't breaking a sweat.
Clementine......i gotta do it my way😊
I totally agree with alisong2328!
But I want to say something to Dr. Gina! Please, don´t be too humble! You are exactly as good as Dr. Lydia! You have your ways and she has hers!
And Caitlyn, you and Dr. Gina ARE a dream team and probably more organised as Dr. Lydia!!
How on earth are the adopters going to ever get Clementine in a trailer again?
They are going to have to work with her. It will be better once she decompresses at her new home and they can take the time to do it slowly, without pressure. Baby steps.
That was painful to watch.
@Lynne2106 Someone said Clementine wasn't used to that small of a trailer, and I'm sure with it being dark inside, she was scared of it. I personally think that once she gets to her new home and is able to decompress, she will adapt to her new friends and settle down: she is still in training, and I personally am excited to hear how her training is going in the future ❤️
First trailer experience can set up training for life!
She just likes her home at HPHS and doesn’t want to leave….
Great video guys
You are doing very well with indeed 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations young lady on adopting Clementine - as you would realise - and certainly by now - not everything goes peachy on the day when you want it to! LOL.
As the team said - shes only been floated/trailered (in Australia we call what you have a 2 horse straight load float - so would be written 2HSL and if it were a 3 horse angle - a 3HAL - then if it were a gooseneck that connects on the bed of a ute (what you guys call a truck or something like a Ford Ranger or a Mazda BT50 (Big Ted lol)) it would be a 3HALG) - anyhow - we call them floats - you call them trailers.
I probably wouldn't get her out for a wander around if you have a long trip home. LOL. You have a WONDERFUL time with your new girly.
I am so pleased that Horse Plus left all the loading saga in this video - and this is why - as I said - NOT everything goes well when you want it to. Clearly HP is open and honest about sharing the bad stuff as well as the good stuff. It's open documentation on it all, no hiding those moments of 'oh crud, maybe some loading on and off could have been worked on' - however as described at the start of the video Tawnee was discussing that Sage hasn't been broken through to yet in nearly a year. So that will be great to see too.
Clementine is a total sweetie by the look of her - just young and still very much learning as Hailey showed you and lots to still work on but the basics on the ground are there. Clearly she works well with the pressure and release, so the rope slapping her butt gently was moving her forward slowly, and the pressure under her knee or fetlock to pick up a leg worked well too. I personally would love it if you could share with HP an update when you have let Clementine settle in and you manage to get some training into her. Or if you could /want to share your YT channel with us or pop a video up on the HP FB page maybe every now and then? Looking at her little bit of pushiness when you were leading her I think was nerves. You will be right. Again, congrats on your new baby.
Thanks for watching??? Shoot, thanks for videoing!
Oh Clementine, you just loved Horse plus too much !
Clementine,nice little horse but probably with a western saddle on top plus her adopter is not the best idea. You condemn Big Lick, poor horses with stacks and chains plus heavy stiff big old man on top, of course I agree. I follow your videos for years now and several times I was hoping that the adopter won´t be the rider because of size and weight. Except this problem I really like what you are doing there. Greetings from Hamburg / Germany
They said she is going to do ground work. The horse young and needs to mature. A horse is way more comfortable with a rider that knows how to move with the horse as I am sure this young lady does than a stiff 100lb beginner rider or a fearful rider.
@@nancyparks195 Sorry look at the whole anatomy of this little horse, what do you believe in what typ of horse will she develop ? We are unable to assess her riding skills, because there were no information given in this video. It is not the fault of this young lady, horse plus should make a better preselection even when they see what they are dealing with. I´m a professional rider and instructor, I have sold a lot of horses and ponys always looking for a good fit, to make both happy on the long run.
@@CoCo-pz4pv I completely agree with you.
She's just a baby. Give her time
Re the old stallion with a possible streptococcus infection:
Streptococcus is a well-known nasty bug. Not only does it cause strep throat, but causes scarlet fever when it gets into the bloodstream. Many many children died of scarlet fever in the 19th c before antibiotics. Beth in Little Women died of it. My aunt by marriage died of it age 9-turned into meningitis. It is what made Laura Ingall’s (Little House on the Prairie) older sister Mary blind. It is what made Helen Keller blind and deaf.
If it goes further and gets into the heart it becomes rheumatic fever and often does permanent heart damage. My father had it and was in bed a year before he recovered.
My mom had Scarlet Fever when she was 5. She developed a mastoid infection and had to have surgery. Since she was quarantined, they had to operate using a marble-topped table in her house. She lost her hearing in that ear, and almost lost her life. This was in 1936.
@@alisong2328
Wow, sounds like real nasty stuff! 😨
😮😮😮
Awesome video. Poor Clementine she loves HP so much she didn't want to leave. Like the old saying goes You can lead a horse to a trailer but you can't make him go in 😄. Question: Clementine has been at HP for over a year I'm kind of thinking that during that time someone should have trained her on loading. Anyhow I'm glad she finally got a new home 🏠👍.
I think Tawnee said they are short staffed
Because they have been getting so many more horses in and a large number were totally untrained, they haven’t been able to give them as much training as might be desirable. They are there to rescue horses not prepare them fully for life as a rideable, trained horse. They do what they can to make the horses more adoptable, but their first concern is saving them.
@@trudypowell8303 nah. Check ASIAB. ALL adoptable horses are trained so no one gets hurt. Including the horse.
It’s all very well making suggestions using hindsight. Horse plus is constantly evolving and takes on board new ideas all the time. Maybe they will be able to incorporate loading onto tiny trailers into their programme.
