Thank you for getting them out of that hell-hole. When will people STOP hoarding, thinking they are "saving" these animals?! I'm glad the RSPCA were able to bring charges. Thank you for the work you do.
What an amazing human being. What compassionate people, This is English culture at it's absolute highest standard. A bright light in a world that is growing darker by the day. Bravo.
Proof that just because you hear shelter or sanctuary doesn't mean you should donate, you don't know where your money is going, you should always look into shelters before donating.
Hope Crunchies is shut down for good! Disgusting place! Very glad for the rescue, you are an amazing place for taking great care of the horses, and I want to say Thank You 😊
There are three gorgeous horses on a property near me. The have a beautiful grass area to graze, a pond ,and well kept home and stalls . The live better than many humans. You need to be rich to own horses these days.
WHW is so special.. every time you say even if a horse or pony is adopted, they are still under your care for life, it warms my heart. That's when you know someone truly cares. You take on that responsibility, that no animal that comes to you will ever suffer again, even if someone else takes them. Bless you. There's still hope for humanity.
Here in the states we have the same problems. People just go into horse ownership without any clue as to the expense and time needed to take care of a horse. Back in 1976 I was given my own painted for my birthday. We bought him from a college student who couldn't afford to take care of him adequately. He was underweight, had skin problems, and had only been half trained. Luckily I had a Great Uncle who had put me on the back of my first horse when I was two years old. He's been raising horses since he was ten, and he was in his 80s then. He was able to advise me, and in just a few years he was a well trained lovely horse that everyone who knew him loved. Just a few years ago, locally here in Florida, this woman had a bunch of horses that she was trying to use as rehabilitation horses for kids with disabilities, but she was not caring for them adequately, and some of the horses were suffering. So the State closed her down. I am glad to know that there are agencies, both here and in the U.K., that take care of horses. They can't talk to us, and scream for help. So it's up to us to help.
We see this in America with dogs. Well meaning people will begin a dog rescue but don't say no to any dog. They don't have the money to spay and neuter so litters of puppies are constantly adding to the population. Their 'rescue' turns into a hell for the animals as over crowding, filthy conditions, and scarce food makes their lives grim. At times they will call the RSPCA for help but often our RSPCA has to go to court to get a court order to remove the animals. So many end up being put down because of disease, or such severe injuries--caused by dogs fighting over the limited food--that they can't be saved. I don't know what happened at this facility but those involved should be ashamed.
What terrible conditions for any of God's creatures to live in! Thank heaven they were rescued in time. Great job well done. These folks really deserve a big pat on their back for their capital devotion and hard work.
How could people be so mean?! I am 13 and these videos bring a tear to my eye. I love horses and stupid people are idiots leaving there horses in this mess the horse welfare are amazing helping these abandoned horses well done!!
Some of them looked like Icelandic Horses... Either way they were all looking great by the end! Thank you for what you do and helping other horses out there! :)
I was lucky enough to find a wonderful little untouched mare at an auction and I fell in love and brought her home. A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant with my first child and I had severe health issues and my family was unable to hold her for the farrier and they didn't want me endangering my baby so I ended up calling several rescues before I found someone who would be able to take her but they were happy to and I gave them all of her vet records and I was told she was eventually rehomed with a young girl on a farm that had mostly cattle and she had always wanted a pony. I did try, pregnant and all with the vet sedating her but it wasn't realistic to keep doing that. On the day that she left I was so relieved when she let us halter her and she walked right into the trailer like she had done it a million times before. I relieved for her and for me. I can't sleep if their feet are long and I just was very angry with my dizzy nauseated pregnant self. Her feet were getting long and I was supposed to be on complete bedrest. You don't let it get bad. Sometimes life happens and people really do just need the help because of life circumstances. Many horses that go through our local feed lot auction are from "senior" owners who either no longer felt they could ride or care for their horses or #2 is that the "senior" owner who was tired and ready to retire gave their horses to a "nice" girl who promised to take care of them and keep them together and now they are in the feedlot. Make sure it's a real rescue when you give animals or money. Real rescues are happy to have people volunteer and show what they do. If they wont let you see the place or the animals there is a problem. Fake people claiming to be "rescues" flip horses for profit and they very openly lie about the horse's health and ability. They seriously sell them as "child safe and 100% sound" after the surrendering owner was clear that they had navicular or some other issue. If you are spending that much you should vet check every time w/o exception. All someone had to do was make a phone call and so many rescues would have helped before things were unfixable and prevented so much unnecessary pain. You can surrender them for free and they showed up with a stock trailer and we moved our panels to make an easy load chute onto the trailer. They really did most of the heavy lifting and were thankful I called and cared more about the horse than my own pride. No one was mean and they were very understanding of my circumstances and just wanted healthy horses. Even after I had my baby girl how long would it take for me to get out there and take care of that mare? Too long for me to just let her sit in pasture. All of our other horses were very broke so my husband and father were able to take care of their basic needs and hold them for the vet and farrier.
Oh goodness,.just awful poor babie's,..I wish I could be there to help as well,..but so greatful for the world horse welfare for there good deeds, and great support for these beautie's,.So thankful for their rescue,.
Thank you sir for moving out away from the people who done this it’s time to starts dealing with this and they should every one who gets caught they need to punish
I give to animal charities on a monthly basis, RSPCA, PDSA, Blue Cross, Battersea, Dogs Trust, Birmingham Dogs Home, I used to give to Hillside animal sanctuary but stopped because I became concerned about some of their practices its these rouge "charities" that give legitimate hard working charities a bad light, because when one of these rouges is bought to justice they get the full spotlight on them and bad press is always hard to dispel and always over shadows the good hard working angels out there. I always support decent hard working legitimate charities and think we should all give our support and donate no matter how little to them every little helps and a thank you for all you do goes a long way to. Thank You.
these scenes break my heart. Thank God for organisations existing that selflessly care for these poor animals but how sad that they are necessary in the first place.
Wise words I once read regarding rescue, "If you do not properly provide everthing that is needed then you've not rescued at all but simply moved their suffering elsewhere." author unknown
We had this happen locally. They refused to have the animals removed to less crowded conditions but wanted some heavy equipment to "clean up the mud". They "retired" due to medical reasons.
Thanks for your comment, the horses are currently under rehabilitation then they will be available for rehoming through our web site. We receive no government funding and rely entirely on donations to continue our work helping horses around the world, donations are gratefully received please check the video description for a direct link to a donation page. Thank you for your continued support.
If you can’t take care of animals you give them up!!! Period!!! I’ve been rescuing since I was 5 years old! Like all of us We’ve seen all the ugly people can inflict .
it really makes me sick watching cats dogs horses or any animal be abused neglected or just leave them to starve and die .im so happy that there's going to be a change and save these beautiful animals .i really wanna help save these kind of animals my self and help .idk how people can do this put your self in there shoes and go through what they go through everyday getting beat up starved hit and Etc I'm a big animal lover sorry this is SOO long but I just get really pissed of when people do such a horrible thing to these animals
Glad that the court too into consideration that not only was the place unsuitable and dangerous, but the OBSURD notion that this place was call an Animal Rescue Sanctuary!!! Good on the court to sentence prison and harsher terms and I am sure that they did so because this was supposed to be a sanctuary.
I wonder how many of those horses were surrendered to that "rescue" by good, caring owners who got into a tight spot and tried to do the right thing by their beloved animals by handing them over to someone who they genuinely believed could take better care of them.
It’s sad that this country has stricter rules then America it’s sad 😔 I think this is phenomenal that they will put you in prison for that because that’s how it should be no animal deserves to be abused or human but somehow ppl tend to help the animals and not so much the human children that are in abuse situations it’s sickening what and who ppl are to commit such vile acts towards a animals and human you guys are amazing thank you 🙏 for all you do
Wow rules are strict in the UK. In Canada the SPCA would have had no power to take those animals away since they are in good body condition. As long as there is food and water present, the SPCA cannot do anything.
Its so disappointing to me that an animal rescue had to make a rescue from another rescue. Weeding out the "animal rescues" that have no intentions on helping animals.
Oh, my Lord, the place looks like a garbage dump!! How can people be so neglectful and cruel? I just don't understand how anyone can look at another sentient being, and knowingly allow this to happen on any level. My horses and dogs eat before we do. I'd never let my horses miss even one meal!! May these folks get the maximum penalty in every case that comes before the courts. What a shame to see such cruelties.

This kind man was obviously affected by this, what a good man
There is no shame is admitting to needing help, it is not the lesser person who asks but the bigger person who does.
This was a RESCUE ?!? That's insane... So glad they went to a proper rescue!
Thank you for getting them out of that hell-hole.
When will people STOP hoarding, thinking they are "saving" these animals?!
I'm glad the RSPCA were able to bring charges.
Thank you for the work you do.
Deep admiration & respect for these caring, hardworking people who rescue these suffering animals in horrendous conditions!
What an amazing human being. What compassionate people, This is English culture at it's absolute highest standard. A bright light in a world that is growing darker by the day. Bravo.
"always under the watchful care of World Horse Welfare" . Good to know
Praise this man and all that helped and helps these beautiful animals that rely on people to help them!! God Bless you all🙏🏽👱🏻♀️
I remember seeing this in pony magazine. People who rescue these poor animals are saints
Proof that just because you hear shelter or sanctuary doesn't mean you should donate, you don't know where your money is going, you should always look into shelters before donating.
Excellent spokesperson... very professional very factual
I hope all the Horses made a good recovery...........thank you.
God bless you we need more people like you 😊
Hope Crunchies is shut down for good! Disgusting place! Very glad for the rescue, you are an amazing place for taking great care of the horses, and I want to say Thank You 😊
They called themselves a sanctuary. Far too many people do this and can't look after the animals. Thank you WHW for the amazing work you do.
I am glad that they answered for what they did. Lack of caring for animals. Words are great if used correctly, no, yes and help.
There are three gorgeous horses on a property near me. The have a beautiful grass area to graze, a pond ,and well kept home and stalls . The live better than many humans. You need to be rich to own horses these days.

Thank you for the good care, and protection you are providing for the animals.
I wish they had a charity like this in Australia because I wanna volunteer!
You people are wonderful ❣️
Thank you so much for the work you do. ❤

How HORRIBLE! What the hell is the matter with these people who abuse these beautiful animals? God bless those who help them.

World horse welfare is truly amazing..job well done guys👏❤️

Lol he's like, READY FOR MY CLOSE UP?? LOL he is so sweet.
Thank you sir for moving out away from the people who done this it’s time to starts dealing with this and they should every one who gets caught they need to punish
It's heartbreaking to see animals neglected and suffering.
This so sad I have 3 horses and I would never let any thing happen to them x

Wish the US had a group like yours. Hmmm maybe there are some. Time to research.
it really makes me sick watching cats dogs horses or any animal be abused neglected or just leave them to starve and die .im so happy that there's going to be a change and save these beautiful animals .i really wanna help save these kind of animals my self and help .idk how people can do this put your self in there shoes and go through what they go through everyday getting beat up starved hit and Etc I'm a big animal lover sorry this is SOO long but I just get really pissed of when people do such a horrible thing to these animals
What a horrible dump of a place! So glad the animals were taken out of there! Great job by everyone!
Thank heavens we found out the full story. I hope the jail sentence was long and hard. I hope the horses all get a great and loving home.
Rescued from a rescue. Disgusting. Your work is amazing!
This is so sad. I have seen pandora on the reforming website and may consider her after all she's been through
That "crunchie's" place took them from a bad place into a possibly WORSE place??
Some sanctuary ha!
Crunchies diddnt rescue them they put them threw hell
Thx to the REAL savers ❤️
Omg I need to donate my money 💰
Every word makes sense.
Glad that the court too into consideration that not only was the place unsuitable and dangerous, but the OBSURD notion that this place was call an Animal Rescue Sanctuary!!! Good on the court to sentence prison and harsher terms and I am sure that they did so because this was supposed to be a sanctuary.
You couls see in the pictures where they were eating the bark off some of the trees and shrubsy stuff
I wonder how many of those horses were surrendered to that "rescue" by good, caring owners who got into a tight spot and tried to do the right thing by their beloved animals by handing them over to someone who they genuinely believed could take better care of them.

Combien de chevaux on été sauver
how are they going now?!
Wow rules are strict in the UK. In Canada the SPCA would have had no power to take those animals away since they are in good body condition. As long as there is food and water present, the SPCA cannot do anything.
This is so sad...
What did the animals even do?
What is wrong with those people?
Why can't we maintain peace....
why are people so single minded. If you buy a horse make sure you are able to take care of it.
I had no idea the U.K. was as bad as the neglect that happens here in the U.S.A. , sad that people just cant do the right thing !
Its so disappointing to me that an animal rescue had to make a rescue from another rescue. Weeding out the "animal rescues" that have no intentions on helping animals.
Omg! Why on earth would someone get two many horses and not take care of them!!!😠
The horse at first looks like my horse breezy
What Breed and Colour horse was at 4:48 ?
+Luna Plays looks like a cob and I'm guessing some kind of roan
He's a cob. Bay roan..
I can't belive how ppl could do this to a horse
The chestnut pony on the front of this video I have now got mad his name is flash
Were they feeding them hay and grain?
6 people and no effort at all!!! Wow!!!
My horse is like that
Wy They have a cap
I find this is one of the most horrible WHW cases. So sad for all the people and animals involved.
why the pony look like Elvis at 1:35
good god
Oh, my Lord, the place looks like a garbage dump!! How can people be so neglectful and cruel? I just don't understand how anyone can look at another sentient being, and knowingly allow this to happen on any level. My horses and dogs eat before we do.

wow they must be in so much pane
Are these horses up for adoption? Where could I send a donation?
Well the bottom line is that horses need specialized care from people who know and understand them.
