You guys do incredible work. Thank you. But please, some of those adopters need draft horses under them. Weight does make a difference on a horse's back.
Keep up the great work.
The weight issue is a big concern some of these applicants are really heavy in relation to the horses presented to them.. a worry.
The little girl who changed her mind adopted a horse that looked even taller!!🤷♂️
exactly what i was thinking!!
Same. The first horse I ever rode when I was 12 was 16 hands tall.
@@claireshorrors Lol me too. I thought am I seeing this right the second horse looks taller. 😶
I would do that too 😂
In defense of the little girl. At age 12, I was less than 5 foot. At age 16 I grew to be 5' 11". I Did keep my 14.2 Hand half Arab mare until I went to University at age 19. But I didn't care if my legs hung low on Moon. SHE WAS A SPECIAL GIRL.
I'm so proud that you check all these people out wanting to adopt all these horses . Thank y'all for all your hard work. God Bless each one of y'all in all y'all do to take care of all these horses and other animals.🤗🙂😇❤️
I do appreciate all the hard work you and your team of volonteers invest for the purpose of rescuing these horses. I have owned a few horses in my life not only for the pleasure of riding but mostly for the LOVE of horses. I am glad your ADOPTION DAY was a success, BUT my one concern is that sometimes the SIZE of the horse does not FIT with the SIZE of the future OWNER....!
@S B...I agree with you
Yes omg! And one lady looked like she was going to fall over leaning so far forward. And that little kid on a horse that looked 15+ hands
Absolutely agree ..a lot of the 'future owners' are too big for the poor horses 😟
Better than being slaughtered. And she can diet.
@@mackenziemasters6135 small kids bigger horses no problem..don’t judge unless you know
I absolutely love what they're doing and that these horses are getting new homes. But, and I say this knowing I'll probably get a lot of hate. A few of these people are too big for the horses they're adopting. And I'm not body shaming they're not big people, I would be too big for some of the horses as well. You (and your tack) shouldn't weigh more than 20% of your horses' body weight. Just get a horse that can carry you without damaging it's back. Just because horses are big animals doesn't mean they're super strong. Just saying this to educate, I'm sure they're all lovely people wanting to give these horses good homes. And positive they're getting lots of love from their new families.
No hate at all.
also, horses aren‘t so much built for carrying as they are for pulling. They‘d have no problem pulling something very heavy, but with carrying the 20% really is the limit, and that‘s for a well muscled and conditioned horse with a good conformation! I think it would be a good idea to have the vet estimate a healthy rider+saddle limit when they evaluate the horses. That‘s what the British rescue World Horse Welfare does.
@@alexk7973 Great idea on the vet giving a weight limit.
Yeah I thought the same too
4d4gggvff FF get FF card d f get see r as
I don't mean to be rude and I am not a 'horse' person, but is the weight of some of these people going to be an issue for the horses?
Yes. The ideal weight for a rider to be is 20% of how much the horse they will be riding weighs. If the rider exceeds that, it can be damaging to the horses back and joints.
Your not even a horse person and you can see that . Why can't they .makes me wonder if they just need to get rid of them after a while so it looks good on paper that they are very successful in rescuing and adopting as many horses as possible.
@@garfield2164 it’s Max.15%. 20 is way too much
Yeah, they need to go on a diet
@@changedmaname4634 that's not true it's 20% some ppl even argue 25% and tack CAN bring it up to 30% but I would consider that abuse
My mom had a D1 barrel racer named Dolly. She was an amazing horse, lived to be 37
22:46 is that horse is too little for her 🤔🤔🤔
Poor thing was nearly crawling
I thought that too. 😬
Damn. Rather thats a big girl. Or a small horse.....
I think that a lot with these videos. They don’t seem to follow the rule of a horse carrying max.10-15% of their bodyweight. This will cause back and joint issues and is painful for the horses.
@@ticket42565 yea it really looked like he wasnt walking right.
That adorable little girl has such a great riding posture. Someone taught her well. Nice job mom 😁
Omg I can't believe you had a beautiful horse called Lightfoot. My very first horse was called Lightfoot. I bought him when I was 15 years old in 1985 and he was my best friend for 25 years ❤️❤️❤️
The little girl went from riding her own mini to being a mini on a magnificently gentle giant. I LOVE it.
I love watching these seeing all the horses you save 🥰
This is so enjoyable, I am disabled wheelchair bound. This makes me feel like I'm there. Such great group work well together. Thank you,
I such a softie. These horses that you have brought back to such good health are beautiful. Then they are adopted. You guys must cry when you see them go. I just pray their life will be happy.
I loved that you saving these babies .I have even donated but I am really concerned how you match up the adopters to the right horse . In some of your video s I see people to heavy riding the horses and the we girl allowed to adopt a horse far too big for her . Why??? This makes me feel uncomfortable seeing them being matched up this way especially after what these poor babies have been through.
I have been woñdering the same thing!?!
I have discovered this channel a bit late but I do hope they adress our concerns in the next episodes/seasons.
There is absolutely no doubt that you do good much needed rescue work but could you please address for your subscribers your stance on the weight issue. I am not a horse person but was thinking about going for a riding experience and a weight limit was clearly mentioned. I am not light but would have met the criteria however some of these people would have been turned away. I am from the UK by the way.
I'm a bit late on the videos but did they adress it?
It's really bothering me and I think I'll just skip any adoption videos
Such beautiful horses it is hard to believe that they end up at auctions. Thank you for your work!
I am no rider, but i also see that some of the peolpe are to heavy for the horses. I hope they have other family members to ride the horses. The saddle is not ideal, riders are sitting more in the middle of the back than close to the shoulders of the horse. But I love you for rescuing horses, you are doing your best!
Love the extra long video!! You all do amazing work. May God continue to bless you guys and all the horses you save.
Praying they all get great loving homes. People that can properly take care of them for a good years life.
Such great work undermined by a total lack of education on the weight these poor horses can carry. A little on the heavy side isnt the end of the world but that one horse could barely move under the weight of that big heavy rider 💔 gutted.
the people are too heavy for the tiny frail horses....the saddle alone is very heavy....
I know. They were just starved a short time ago. I do not see that many of these horses were a match to the adopters.
Ideal weight for a horse is 15% of its body weight. MAtching people with prospects NEED careful match-ups.
I’d half to agree between that saddle that woman was too big for that poor horse!
My first equine was a 10hand 2 inch Welsh gelding. I named him " Prince ", original name " Hoppy". He explains why I like the album " Bat out of Hell"!
So lovely that your horses got adopted. A bit worried that some of the new riders had very little riding experience. Do you check that they have someone in the family to help?
I don’t believe they do though I could be wrong I just believe they think they have a trainer to help.
I do not think that it is their place to check if people have any experience or not. Any horse lover has to start somewhere.
I am concerned too, but it is surley not easy to judge who is fitting for the horse.
@@sannawald824 Well, some horses ( like our old Buddy), you could put a new beginner on him...he would plod. Put and an expert on him? Holy!. Buddy was a former OTT Paint QH. Also a former cow horse. What a treasure!.
@@ellimae1548 òoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ok kĺ ft
Years ago, I lived in a smaller community and had the same name as another woman. Our dental, medical and other appointments and files were always getting mixed up. Never actually met her but I couldn't imagine if she was some kind of thief sharing the same name. Thanks for all the great work you do!
I can't believe that the horses you adopt out are the same ones you save. You really do wonderful work with them. You really do save them. Omg y'all are wonderful humans.
The lady that got chilli was way too big, why would you let her adopt him?
That's what I was wondering
Yeah I was a little upset about that too :/
cause this ways the lady is rescuing, if they told her no she would most likely get defensive and buy private. Might even cause a public backlash even if they are being scientifically correct.
@@jh7614 true
@@jh7614 Listen...they can just say NO...And not give an answer..!!! U gotta watch these donation events...Some people just get these horses n cant really afford them...all follow up care needs 2 b implemented.....!!!!!!!
I think it's great that you're rescuing these poor horses from auctions. The medical care and rehabilitation is excellent but I have to make two adverse comments I'm afraid. Many of these horses are very mismatched to their new riders. Overweight (there were lots that were way too bid for their chosen horse) and inexperienced riders are not going to do these poor animals any favours and may lead them to being back in the same situation down the line.
The 2nd point is, by giving a donation only, must mean that you will get many people who are just looking for a very cheap horse. They may not have the means to look after them properly, especially during the harder months. If they can't afford a decent set figure, they can't afford to have a horse. Horses are expensive if cared for right.
That is one of the reasons I do not have a horse right now. If you cannot afford it no matter what, you don't have one.
I absolutely agree that many of these people that adopt are much too large for these horses that have been skin and bones and out of shape. Anyone weighing over 230 lb should not be on a horse. I appreciate what you guys are doing also in helping these horses, but I believe that too much weight on a horse is also abuse.
And if they charge a higher adoption fee, they will be accused of trying to make a profit. Rescue is a thankless endeavor.
I adopted a Standardbred for $500 and had him 23+ yrs. I got him from a rescue bc I wanted to save a horse not bc I wanted a cheap horse.
Christ ppl always have something to complain about. You think these horses are being rode 24hrs a day by overweight ppl?no. I have a feeling a lot of them are for pasture only they still do a ride test. Im pretty sure they would say no if it was someone morbidly obese. Lots are adopted for treatment horses..like therapy horses.
Some of these new owners are not matched up to the horse properly They either are to heavey or to small etc....I pray everything will be alright for these former abused horses...I just hate for them to have to endure or go through anymore trauma ... All the best wishes and good health. For horses ..Rescuers and The New Owners
If they can control the horse then they aren't too small.
@@eustacelongbottom9672 you're right. They are not to small.... The horses are to big. 🙄
I have the same concerns about people being too big! Also...some of these people have minimal riding skills!
@@evelien2335 my 3 year old learned on a 16hh horse. She wasn't too small
Not all of these horses are for riding. Some of them are just pets 🤷
Always look forward to new videos.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🐴🌟
hi! so,i appreciate the fact that you want to find homes for this horses,but,for exemple,the girl how bought chilli is too big for her,like,you can see chilli trying so hard to walk normal,you can see her dragging her feet. that girl is too big and heavy for chilli!
lara moldovan --- I agree, some people have NO idea about buying horses and what it entails.
Isn't it beautiful how trusting the horses are as they just voluntarily go into the trailers. 😘😘
My parents bought my younger brother a pinto gelding from a cattle ranch. I'm sure he was at least 20yrs old . BUDDY was truly a " Buddy". Spade trained ( no you didn't pull the reins, you lifted them and shifted your weight) BUDDY wasn't even my horse, but I adored him.
I feel like every horse would have a place with you! And I would just look at them for their freedom and their instinctive behavior.
12 adoptions in one day.... holey moley ... GREAT job!!! And God bless you!
YALL SEEM TO HAVE A NUMBER OF YOUNGER PEOPLE WORKIN THERE, GOOD TO SEE SOME YOUNGER GENERATIONS CARE ABOUT ANIMALS STILL
Great job and your staff are some of the best i have seen on here they really do a good job with the horses and very good with the people that are adopting
It's literally 4am & I'm binge watching videos about horses. Ctfu! I'm a city girl that knows absolutely nothing about horses. I went riding with a friend as a pre teen. They're majestic creatures! I'm so glad I've found you guys. I'm looking forward to watching more & learning more about horses. The first video I saw was about you guys at auction. It seriously broke my heart into pieces. Their plight was absolutely terrible! You're all seriously amazing for doing everything that you do to help these unlucky horses. I'm hoping they all manage to find the forever homes they'd always deserved!
I wish you all the best of luck with your endeavors!
💕 Blessed be 💕
After rehabilitating these horses, I am sure there are feelings for them. You can see it on the girls faces as they load these horses and say goodbye. I am sitting here, fighting off the onion ninjas. I guess the reward is worth the feelings. I would be a mess. Thanks for what ya'll do.
I am so blessed each time I watch a video. I would love to have a horse rescue here. God Bless!
you do a very good job, but you often see people who are too fat or people who are too tall for the horses / ponies
Being tall isn't an issue. Weight is the issue. OK, I probably looked ridiculous at full height on myv14.2H mare. But my weight was less than 135lbs and who cares if you're not " picture perfect"?
@@jeanfish7 i love how they couldn't word it nicer like you did instead called them straight up fat. Real nice. I couldn't handle rescuing and caring like this and recording to post for people to tell me how to do my job and adopt out my animals i just saved from being slaughtered.
@@kyleerosee3 this is called constructive criticism and if you can't take it then yes maybe you shouldn't rescue animals as your job. Also, the fact that the OP worded things badly could just mean English isn't their native language so you're just as judgemental.
And it doesn't take away from the fact that overweight people should get a horse that suits their physique.
@@superlativesultan6165 ive tsken my share of criticizing bullshit when i HAD 15 fighting dogs at once ... Maybe someone like mei should let them get put down sonssty
@@superlativesultan6165 didnt mean it rude.. But also didn't mean it rude... So u didn't have to come.at me sideways with your reply telling me im a dumb cunt tha
Love your vids ^^ and I hope you save a lot of horses
What a awsome sight seeing two horses go to great home with some kids! My fondest childhood memories spent at the barn
Love pinto. Love smoked too foal,I like that next pinto, lightening too big fer me,yeah 22 good one!! Done good everybody, love to all mare
Amazing in mist of the pandemic that you had that kind of turn out. God bless
In my ideal future we'd all ride horses bitless, shoeless and without gear stopping them move freely.
Edie Domenga --- GET REAL... You don't appear to have any knowledge about horses/ponies...Sorry but your comment is ridiculous.
Every horse needs a little girl to love it sometime in its life.
Heart warming !
Great job ladies!!
Thank you for what you do.
You girls are awesome. I usually hate to watch channels like that, because as a horse lover they sadden me a lot and also make me very angry towards people who abuse animals with impunity.
I'd like to help you with a donation by check
I love watching the adoptions
That was a super week of adoptions...keep up the great work Horse Plus.
We need you - the horses need you. 🐎
If a person didn't reach up or want to stroke the horse from the very first minute they laid eyes on it, I would not let that person adopt the horse.
So glad 22 horses got adopted they all so wonderful
Wonderful to see all the hard work you put into the horses!
For every adoption my smile just gets bigger and bigger ❤️❣️
Thank you for what you do. You are amazing. 🐎❤️🐎
Thanks to you all and all the amazing adopters! Such lovely people all around!
You guy's do amazing work. However, I do agree that some of the people are mismatched for their horse. A person should not weigh more then 20% of the weight of their horse, for the health of the horses back. So a 230lb person should ride a horse that is roughly 1200lb. Plus length of leg counts too for clear aids, but the weight is the most problematic thing.
That said, you can have a rider that is a little heavier but is a skilled rider and rides light. In contrast you can have a light rider that is not skilled and bounces and flops on the horse making it hard on the horse. In some of these cases, it worries me that the riders are not only very very heavy but not skilled riders either. Hope it all works out for the horses, they have been through so much already.
love this episode
Well done!! 😀
What a great first video of the day!! I'm so happy all of those horses/donkeys got adopted!! Keep up the great work!! Much love from NY !!
Aww this is awesome!!!!
Thank you for all that you do. It brings me such joy to see these starving, injured, desprate horses in the slaughter pipeline being given a second chance to live a happy life. And what an amazing difference in their body condition, from all your hard work, when they go on to their new forever homes. Horse Plus Humane Society, you make my heart sing.
Thank you for all the hard work you do, to get your horses ready for adoption. Keep up the good work, Norman Australia
Wow, awesome!
keep up the good work! ❤️
This was great. It was so nice seeing so many horses that came from a bad situation going to their wonderful new homes. Stay safe and God Bless
Thanks for helping with the washer overflow! Those events can be so discouraging, having friends show up and help is amazing!
I followed the adoption postings on fb but I am sooooo thrilled to actually see on video what I was applauding. I just wish you were closer. I am enjoying the heck out of this video thanks
20:33 is my favorite adoption ever. 💯. I love the connection. Reminds me of my childhood horse, Redwood Lou. A beautiful chestnut.
I can’t believe they changed their minds. That horse could have been her forever horse. Not a chance she’d out grow it.
It makes me cry to see how trusting these majestic animal are. The adopters are truly wonderful and hope they all know what a precious gift they are receiving. I sent a small payment to you in memory of my wonderful horse I rescued from the track. You do some really hard awesome work. Blessing.
Way to go team!! Well done! 👏❤
Hope all the unicorns live happily ever after in their new homes.🍎🙏
I’ve always wanted to adopt a horse!
You are doing a great job for save ing the horse Nannette
Good job on saving…
Binge watching💝your channel randomly popped up and I'm hooked😍😍😍
You guys are doing awesome job . saveing poor horses. They definitely need the right people. To take them home . with them too And the same thing with donkeys. And the mini ponys. And how some other people so mean to theses poor animals. I really injoy your videos. How these horses and donkeys. And the mins fine new home all my best to all you guys. And all my Love to the horses and the donkeys the mini pony from Lee Angus from Middleboro Massachusetts
Rhett and his new owner have the EXACT same color hair
Wow so awesome for everybody! The horses found great home because you guy's, ya'll do awesome work! All well matched! They all knew they were finally going home! Enjoyed watching and seeing smiles!
nice to see some measure of protection for the horses in background checks against want to be adopters ~
Please please please make sure that you don't adopt these precious souls to people who are not well matched in height and weight to the horses. This could seriously harm them. I understand that you're trying to get the horses adopted as fast as possible but it's of no help if the animal has too carry too great a weight. That would just cause injury and pain for the horse. It pains me to see these ponys be adopted to a rider who is just no match in size, even if they'd be great owners in any other way.
I totally agree with that statement. Its maybe a bit hard for some of the young girls who are helping with the adoptions. They’re probably too embarrassed to tell someone they are too big for some of the finer built horses. I’d be embarrassed myself and I’m 80+. No-one likes to have to tell someone they’re not suitable and that they need a horse more capable of carrying more weight
I kinda wondered the same thing. I am not slim myself.
you never know what they are are going to use them for or the age of the horse. The only mis-match I saw was the tall lady with the smaller horse at 22:23
I believe they do screen for suitability on those grounds. I believe the rider, saddle and associated tack should not exceed 20% of the horses weight. Some sources will say 25% and likely a well conditioned animal could easily bear weight at that level. There is sort of a misconception that the animal will just toss the rider if it’s weight isn’t bearable but that isn’t so. Horses will almost always try to do what is asked of them even if it damages them physically. Training and temperament has a lot to do with that but it bears remembering that horses in competitive situations over long distances have literally run themselves to death. Young children can often handle a horse much larger than seems possible but this is why their first mount is often an older, even tempered animal. The spirited young firecracker can wait until they grow up a bit.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I love any help you can offer me
For sure there is no shortage of people who are cruel, and continue to embark on more ways to get away with it, but it sure makes it hard for you folks to get them into good homes after they recover from bad treatment…God has not answered my question about this, and I know why Tawne cries and I am with her!!….it really bothers me as I suffer from depression in spite of medication!!….wish I could win the lottery and get a property where I could have a few, and take good care od them…thanks for your hard work….love the blind ones too,!!
Love you guys!!!! 💕💕💕 I’m going to reach out soon about hopefully spending a volunteer week with you!
I’m an RN of 37 years and recently doing liberty communication with them.
If I could move to Tennessee I would want to work here.
Love seeing Charlize meeting the donkies!
You can’t just get on and go on a horse, you have to get on and. See if it matches someway.
The weather there is like the weather in Nova Scotia Canada.
People don't understand these horses aren't competition horses. They don't need twigs for riders..
Horses can handle a decent amount of weight....
People need to chill.
I love you 💖
💖💖💖
AMAZING JOB
Anyone pulling a horse trailer with a Jeep should be denied . Also as much as I love that they rescue these horses from the kill pen ( I have rescued many from the kill pen myself) am I the only one that is questioning if 75% of these adopters are even qualified ?? By the video it doesn’t appear that way at all!!
Bit prejudice?
By the first statement alone, your sounding very ignorant. I would imagine that's not your intention. Please reconsider the damage prejudice and judgemental attitudes have on your own well being.
Kelsey Stanley no, as someone who runs a Jeep dealership and drives a Jeep I am aware that the wheelbase is too short to safely tow a trailer. One big move from the horse on the highway and you’re entire trailer and SUV can roll ... It’s purely just dangerous.
Agreed.
Funny story about Buddy, age 16. Bunch of 4H kids at the fair. " Let's Race!". We all line up ( I think 12). Lil Bro, is not a racer, but OK. BUDDY ENDED UP SMOKIN THEM! 19!. Bro just held on for dear life. Buddy got RESPECT!!!
Rhett and his owner are visually perfect for each other. her hair and his hair match, both stocky , and sweet faces :) ( edit to add, please dont respond to me putting words in my mouth about her weight, I choose to not be ugly towards people when my thoughts wont change anything)
You mean fat. The only good match was the hair colour.
I have watched almost every video. 😭 i wish i could do what you do. Maybe someday i can do something. Can't do much for my self as it is.
I hope things get better for you, Jennifer.
🤣🤣 jessie sleeping in her hat!!!
I had a horse named Hearts on Fire when I was a kid his mom's name was Star Shine.
