Someone replied to me after I suggested they look at the work you do, they said that you put down too many horses, to which I replied . . . . . . . .
You do know that Horse Plus Humane Society takes in any animal even those who should have been put down by their owners long ago? Do you watch their videos?
They get high numbers of neglected Amish horses in pretty rough shape that were not given vet care or euthanized but sold at slaughter price to squeeze that last dollar out of the animal.
During their buy out they do not discriminate, they buy everything off the trucks and trailers in adoptable condition, to rehabilitate or in need of euthanasia, upon intake each animal is triaged, given proper vet care including, microchipped, wormed, vaccinated, teeth floating on really bad cases, onsite bloodwork and radiographs, as well at a later date any necessary surgeries, teeth floats, castrations and farrier care. Critical animals are given priority.
Decisions are made on quality of life. Would you rather they were selective and took only the adoptable horses to keep euthanasia numbers down and let the rest ship to slaughter?
She deleted her snotty comment.
I won't lie, it's hard to see those magnificent animals put down. It's heartbreaking, but I can't imagine NOT loving a horse, dog, cat or any animal enough to want them to suffer. I've heard it said that the greatest show of love is allowing that animal to die with dignity and pain free. I've done it myself and YES, IT SUCKED 😢😢😢
@@ronallen6578 Absolutely!
You go girl!!! So proud of you!!
I think that one of the greatest things this world is missing the most, is compassion and empathy. All the naysayers and haters complaining about what Horse Plus does, these people do not imagine themselves in the horse's shoes, they do not imagine what pain fear and agony it must feel, to BE that horse (or other critter), and thus they fail to see the COMPASSION it takes, to give those animals that last act of kindness, the release of that extreme agony. Empathy is the ability to imagine what it is like to be someone else. Compassion is what it is to act in the best interest of that animal, even at the pain of saying good bye and having to admit that we are not god, and we cannot fix everything. This is why there are haters, and kill buyers. And this is also why there are those of us who do everything we can, to make a positive change in this world.
Very very well explained Comment of what they all do !! It’s a long hard list that goes on every day and then there’s the mental side of it. It takes a toll to see that every day. The hardest working people in our country are the most underpaid. And I know Tawny would pay them more if she could- that’s not the issue.
The abuser needs to start going to jail!!
Currently the laws allow these horses to be sold in auctions in this condition. Until that changes, this cruelty will continue. You can't send someone to jail if they didn't break the law.
WITHOUT ANY DOUBT JAIL TIME!!!!!!
Who would you jail - the original owners who sold to the auction, the auctions who send them through, the drivers who transport the horses, the kill buyers.
If people didn't sell and dump in auctions, there would be no knock-on effect.
We don’t even make sure abusers of children go to jail. It’s more likely dog abusers will face justice.
All the abusers need to go to prison.
Getting banned from that auction was a good thing. I remember when everyone got excited when you rescued approx. 52 horses, that was huge back then. Now 50 horses is the average!!
I think that ban really backfired on them. They don't need to compete with those scummy kill buyers. Auction I mean.
I hope their auction house suffers from their banning Horse+! Maybe they’ll have to shut down!
@@darcieondeck Shut down or operate according to new laws.
Dr. Lydia is very good at her job -- I trust her judgment on who needs the last act of kindness.
Sadly,-- absolutely correct.
💯 agreed!
Agreed on that. I am glad that she is back.
About half will be put down. And a few will be adopted. So what happens to the rest?
@@ronwitherspoon7689: They will be transferred to a different shelter in the hope that a home will be found for them in a different area.
I am always amazed at how cooperative these poor horses are and how well behaved after traumatic trailer rides and abuse prior to arriving at HPHS.
Horses do not deserve humans!
Humans do not deserve horses.
This has to be so hard emotionally on your whole group. Bless all of you for what you do.
My heart is breaking at the state of that poor horse
im speachless.. this is America! how does this shit happen!?!?!?
There are people who actually criticize what Horse Plus does, but if it wasn't for Horse Plus, injured horses like the one in this video would suffer a horrendous trip to slaughter in Mexico.
@@dianekruger5977 And no one would be the wiser...
Everyone at HPHS pets and strokes the animals soothing and encouraging them. Wonderful people i appreciate you all.
Omg Tawnee, the description of what happens at slaughter is horrifying. I think that every single person that owns a horse and thinks it's ok to dump their horses at auction needs to know that. Thank you for educating people and helping these sweet babies.
Mexico slaughter horses should be shut down. I just can't.....
Omg is right, I made the courageous move to look for undercover documentaries about the slaughter houses, I actually found one right on U tube, I made myself look although my tears were flowing and my stomach turned inside out. Watching those makes me feel good about sending a donation when I can. I saw a buy out video from the UK, the horses they were getting looked normal, not a starved one in the bunch, so in the UK there are just way too many horses especially the small and large ponies, people can't afford them so they go to ONE auction then transported by ships to eastern Europe for slaughter. It is not legal in the UK either as in the US, but there is just no way to have enough law enforcement to catch even a tiny fraction of these kill traders.
In my area of the country, Rocky Mountains, I had a terrible event where I needed to have my severely ill mare put down.
She showed no signs of any issues until one morning I heard a funny noise coming from the barn. After investigating I finally figured out it was this mare. My vet was out of town, the on call vet showed up way after dark, REFUSED to "give up" on my mare. Gave her a steroid injection, left the brand new vet to take care of anything else and left. The brand new vet, drew blood for a blood panel, saying she would call in the morning and left. Next morning go out to check my mare. I could hear her roaring as she struggled to breathe, way before I got to the barn. Call my vet's office to see if they knew of any one who could come out and put her down. They didn't. The brand new vet called around noon to see how Miranda was doing, I told her I wanted her put down.
SHE TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T DO THAT!
Called all the horsey friends that didn't use my vet to see if I could use another one. Called one, he refused to put down a horse that wasn't one of his clients. The upshot, the new vet was able to get in contact with my vet who was at a conference out of state (cell phones were still somewhat of a novelty). He told her that since I had had Miranda for several years, my opinion to put her down was valid.
Apparently, this was also the first time new vet had tried to put a horse down. My wonderful mare ended up getting poked over and over and over again before the vet was able to hit a vein and put her down. A gun would have been more merciful.
So IMO we need to have some sort of system where a person could take their beloved horse to be euthanized in a humane way that didn't cost hundreds of dollars to do so. I think this would be a godsend for people who have a horse/pony that they've had for decades, possible their entire life, a child's beloved mount but circumstances have entered into the picture where they can no longer care for their horse and cannot find anyone to take them.
As Tawnee has stated, don't give your beloved horse away as lots of times they do end up in the slaughter pipeline. I also know that HPHS has taken in voluntary surrenders for the "last act of kindness." Maybe their voluntary surrender could go national also...
Sadly, a lot of people enjoy riding, but don't care about horses and what happen to them😢 when they are useless. Or the world would be better.
When Tawnee mentioned the cruel methods of killing used in Mexico, the moment she mentioned the death shower heavy shivers went down my spine. This is so inhuman and barbaric. I am German, so you most likely you understand why this is the most terrible thing to me. That anybody still does this to living beings...I cannot understand it.
That young horse that broke through the trailer floor brought me to tears. Fingers crossed she has a chance to make it.
If the Countries that eat horse meat stopped eating them, there would be no demand for it.
You're absolutely right! No more horses would be shipped out for horsemeat....they would all be sent to the fertilizer and glue factories.
Do not rely on "the market" or customers magically disappearing. Instead, concentrate on making the shipments and the marketplace disappear... by making them illegal.
People need to stop breeding horses with no intention for their future
Also the countries that consume dog meat.
Es ruft Erinnerungen an sehe dunkle Zeiten im der deutschen Geschichte hervor. Traurig um so mehr dass die Monster in der Menschheitsgeschichte nicht aussterben
So happy to see troy back he has such a gentle way with the horses its beautiful to watch
Fingers crossed for the mare with the horrible rear legs! She looks so sweet. Please keep us updated. 😢
There will be a video update with her on the member video posted later today join here: czcams.com/users/horsehumanejoin
Hoping the mare was the trailer injuries is saved, her owners clearly didnt even try and get her vet help, unreal. Ty HPHS for all you do
She's doing a quick medical assessment she doesn't have time to decipher everything. This is a desperate situation so you should be more considerate about it these people are working hard in the heat saving these poor souls thank you again horse plus and all you do for the animals
WHO ON EARTH are you taking to? Whoever you are talking to, they certainly won't even know what you said, if you don't bother addressing it to them. Your comment got entered as an Original Post. When you are replying to somebody you need to enter it as a reply, and be sure it gets addressed properly.
It's in general to watchers @@cattymajiv
You can just see how much Dr Lydia cares about these horses!! She looks so stress today!! I hope she takes a day off to reset
Seems like even some of the kill buyers are not so fond of slaughter... I am so glad they are starting to bring them to you instead!
The kill buyers probably aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts (if they even have a heart to begin with) it's probably just easier, quicker money for them to make use of the buy out program and be rid of the horses that they know aren't strong enough to make it through being shipped any further. You can't make $$$ off a horse that's buckled out from under it's feet and can't be shipped to be processed or make it through the auction ring one more time.
They are getting more per horse through the buyout program, AND they don't have to pay a commission per animal to the auction. That's the only reason they like it better.
@@lynnie0524 I'm all for what works and this seems to be working much better than the auction did. (Although I started watching their videos shortly before the auction house kicked them out.) The other thing is that the horses don't have to be run through the auction itself. They are hauled to HPHS, offloaded and almost immediately seen by the crew and have water and hay available right away.
@@alycewich4472 This also rewards the kill buyers more. So they are likely going around to pick up whatever barely alive horses and donkeys they can find for a few bucks so they can exploit the buyout program, taking funds away from the rehabilitation of other animals. Unfortunately, there is no perfect answer here. I agree, that this program is better for the horses, but it's still a shady game that the kill buyers play because all they care about is making money off discarded animals in whatever way they can do it best.
It's FABULOUS to have Troy back!❤❤❤ Brother, we are rooting for you!
Yes, welcome back Troy, you are much needed at Horse Plus!
Troy looked absolutely heart sick at the first intake, he seems so empathetic and they're so lucky to have him there ❤ 😊
@@caitlynharbidge3056 Yes, he is the kind that shows his emotions in his face and body language. I was upset when he "disappeared" for awhile, does anyone know why is was gone, if he was sick or having some surgery or whatever, I would have been praying for him.
God bless you all.
For a long time I've thought Horse Plus would be a great place for vet students to have an entire course at. Dr. Lydia seems to be a great teacher. And think of the long term effect of students taking the experience out into the world.
LOVE this idea!
I just hope Horse Plus realizes what a true jem Dr.Lydia is !!! She’s an excellent veterinarian a super person and is easy to work with. I’m so incredibly thankful they have her !!! ❤
They do appreciate her! She worked with and mentored by Doc for years. 🎉
And Dr Gina also!
So is Dr, Gina.
I totally agree with Tawnee the last act of kindness is such an amazing blessing compared to the mexican slaughter process. ❤😢😊😊
There are people who actually complain when Horse Plus euthanizes some of the horses. But they don't understand, alot of these issues their complaining about cannot be fixed. Better to euthanize than have them continue to suffer. Original owners should have down the right thing, before these horses get that bad, instead of looking to make a few bucks, because they wouldn't make much anyways with broken bones, skinny horses, etc.
@@dianekruger5977es ist auch nicht sinnvoll immer alles was medizienisch machbar ist auch zu tun !
Thank you, Jason, for hustling this video out. What a huge amount of horses saved from a horrid fate. Hoping good for that pretty mare.
Shame, shame that the previous owners cared more for a few bucks than end this extreme suffering.
Both Vets do a marvelous job with care and it must break their hearts to see so many that could have been saved if taken by their owners to the vet early and or put to sleep, well done to all at HP.
I noticed that the people delivering the horses had their faces blured out so they can't be recognized. What, could they be too ashamed to show their faces if people should recognize them, and realize the truth, about what horrible care they took of the animals in their possession? Shame on them!!! These once healthy animals deserved better from their owners, who they trusted to take care of them. Are there no laws in TN about animal cruelty and neglect?
So disgusting an owner would pay $10k and not pay yo have the horse put down, that's despicable.
I hope it recovers.
Horses are like kids. Anything they can get into, they will.
My saying is. "A horse is an accident waiting to happen." I swear there are some horses that could severely injure themselves in a fully padded stall.
@@alycewich4472 I agree. Or any little thing that can poke, cut,or scrape,they'll find it.
How in God's name does the United States Of America allow these animals to be transported for slaughter??!!!! Jesus Christ this is horrid hearing of the slaughter techniques. I am sick! 🤢🤢
there is a new pres. in mexico.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I believe there is currently an act trying to make it through Congress to outlaw it. It might be the SAFE Act (or something similar). Townie and Jason have talked about it. It is a different bill than the one trying to outlaw the BIGLICK mistreatment of Tennessee Walking Horses by soring hocks with chemicals and using chains and stacks to achieve the exaggerated gait.
Ask me if you want to hear about the horrible techniques of slaughter for farm animals in North America and Europe 😢
because horse slaughter was banned in the USA
Tawnee and Jason and HPHS plus other horse rescue groups are working to have the slaughter pipeline for horses closed. At the moment, horses fall through the cracks for protection from any federal law. I cannot remember which videos HPHS speaks about this, but it's been kick started with the auction house tossing them out. So maybe a year or so ago?
Getting banned from the auctions is unfair and sucks but it has also allowed you guys to get more horses then ever before
Yes, because their not having to try and bid against kill buyers who can afford to pay more.
Any decent owner will make more of an effort to re-home, instead of sending to auction.
@@dianekruger5977 Here in the Rockies, it is becoming more difficult to find a vet who will put down a horse. I had such a traumatic event happen with my trying to put my old gentle mare down as there was something VERY WRONG with her and my vet was out of town at a conference. (Cell phones were rather a novelty at that time...) On call vet, new vet, and unknown vet all refused to put her down, even though I knew she was dying. In the end she was put down, but not in a gentle way by the young vet almost 24 hours after she fell ill.
So PLEASE don't put all the blame on the horse owner. Not all of us have guns to do it ourselves and with large animal vets becoming few and far between as the older ones retire and most of the younger ones don't seem to want to live and work out of a vet truck in all hours of the day and night and in all kinds of weather. I truly cannot blame them for that. But what happens to the backyard horse owner who doesn't have a big truck and trailer to take their horses to the vet?
And wouldn’t to be awesome if the Auction House went out of business because they banned Horse+!
Tawnee, I’m glad you told people what happens in Mexico. I couldn’t look into it myself as I knew it would be too upsetting but, I know by telling people, it will hopefully stop them questioning why you have to give the last act of kindness to horses. You should never have to justify your actions because your vets will never euthanise a healthy horse, it literally is the very last option. The fact people put you in the position to have to spell it out, is as cruel as the abusers themselves. I think sometimes it’s forgivable because it may be young people questioning, they don’t understand how critical a horse can be, yet it’s still standing. They don’t understand and feel there’s hope, but horses hide severe illness and injury so well. The ones that are unforgivable are the ones old enough and educated enough to know better. They don’t bother to look past the end of their noses, they’re a minority but boy do they shout the loudest. In my opinion, they’re as bad as the abusive owners. Not only do they want to leave a horse suffer unbearable pain but they want to abuse the only people who are doing something loving for that horse.
Sorry to write an essay, I just wanted you to know you’re appreciated so much for every life you make better. You’re earth angels, every single one of you and you deserve so much respect for all you go through to give relief to so many lives. 🫶🏻🙌🏼
🎯💯
Fell through a trailer floor?!!! That speaks volumes about the owner/transporter ... they don't take care of their equipment/trailers let alone their horses!!! SHAME!!! Tears for the horse ... I so hope you'all can save it!
It may not have been the transporter to HPHS that had the rotten floorboards. Since I didn't see any other horses from that lot with the same type of injuries. It could have been that it was the original owner's trailer and when they discovered it, they found someone to take her off their hands...
@@alycewich4472 Whatever happened, this poor mare didn't deserve it. This injury is so horrible and I dont know how she hasnt collapsed. I'm pulling for Miss 10% chance, go bless her.
I'm particularly stunned by both the severely deformed horse and the expensive horse with the trailer floor injuries. I don't understand how either original owner thought slaughter was the solution. With the deformed horse, I know things can be done for each of the individual conditions when they're new foals, but hot damn that's a lot of issues all at once. It's clear to be that euthanasia very early on would have been the humane choice. As for the $10,000 horse, how do you spend that kind of money on what looks like a very well bred horse and then be so careless handling it?
Right, that poor baby's story is unforgivable!
And so cheap they wouldn't euthanize it themselves. So many people don't deserve horses.
The Broken, Multiple Auction Baby, -- Is INFURIATING.
Inexcusable.
Thank you so much for explaining the horrible ways that horses are slaughtered. It’s good for everyone to know how bad things really are rather than just hearing that slaughter is bad. Keep up the amazing work y’all!! You serve a hundred popsicles!
Please donate to these rescuers!! GREAT TEAM!! THANK YOU!!
A fun way of donating is by joining the membership a $10 a month, and you get videos every day around the rescue and updates. Follow here: czcams.com/users/horsehumanejoin
🎉 yeah! So glad to see Troy back. His kindness with the horses in all conditions is noteworthy. WELCOME BACK TROY!
I think his thick accent. It’s kinda comforting and the I think the horses feel that also !!! Welcome back brother ! Horse Plus needs you !!! ❤️🐴💯👍
I like Troy very much.
This is so heartbreaking! What do ppl do to these poor horses that they end up in such horrific conditions!! I’ve been involved with horses for 50 years and never come across horses like the ones you take in.
There's the amish who work their horses until worn out or injured. There's the horses whose owners thought slaughter would be better than euthanasia and these horses have a lot of issues. Backyard breeders trying to make a last buck from deformed, sick or excess foals. Then factor in the length of time in the trailer and going through multiple auctions so any conditions or injuries just keep getting worse and worse. It's shocking what happens to these guys 😢
We always check our trailer flooring including using linseed oil to waterproof it. We check and clean it after every time it's used.
Thank you to the team working in harsh conditions today. Prayers for those horses that need healing and those time who got the last act of kindness. No more pain. Rest in Peace. 😔😔😔
You are all so lovely people. Jason try´s to even lighten the mood with nice words and Tawnee trying to get her energy back with popstickles. And all the suffering horses you have to endure to see!
Great work, thank you for helping them all!
Have to say Doc found the perfect replacement! Five stars ! Love all the explanations!👍❤️🇨🇦
I miss doc
I love the new vets too
We miss doc he is such a good man.
The look on that young bay's face when Triy rubbed his face. Totally puzzled, but learning to enjoy.
We're all glad Tory is back!
When that one donkey came off the trailer, from the camera angle, I thought,
“Oh, a unicorn!” One donkey’s ear was a bit forward making it look like a horn!
Dear God what is wrong w people to do this to horses😢 Horse Plus U r the Heroes for saving them. ❤❤❤❤
OMG, bless their hearts, first thing off the bat, unbelievable trauma on multiple horses. It is going to be a marathon day. God bless you for taking them in and doing what their owners should have done LONG AGO. It is like watching combat triage.
Bless you all.
Soldiers of Kindness, thank you, australia!
❤❤Jason, thank you so much for the "almost live" intake video! I really enjoy all the hard work you do to get this out so quickly. Praying for HP and all those precious horses/donkeys that arrived today.❤❤
It was so nice to see Hailey join the team even though it was only temporary. I wish her the best!!
She will be back!
Thank you for all you do, this is desperately difficult but essential work. You are making a difference, and your wonderful team is enlightening even the most stubborn naysayers.
I feel sorry for all of the horses that have to be put down, and Tawnee and the vets that have to do it.😢❤
In their eyes, even this is a merciful end to their suffering. That's why they call it the last act of kindness. The horses pass away being loved on until their last breath. There are humans who don't get that when they pass away.
You are rescuing least dbl what you used to at the auction. ❤️❤️just shows us how many are out there that we didnt see before. Now the laws need to change in favor of the horses. Great work to an incredible team❤ prayers for the mare with the back legs and thankfully, for the rest that pass through your gates, their suffering is getting attention one way or another.
I love the "almost live" videos! ❤❤
It's way past my bedtime but I HAD to watch tonite. I follow this page and I learn more and more about veterinary practices each episode. I've owned 7 horses in my life, still ride, and still learn. I cry every episode.
I randomly had one of your videos in my feed. I am a city slicking girl with a love of the pit bull. This happened 12 hours ago and I have been watching a lot of your videos. It is so heartbreaking the condition some of these babies are in. The last act of kindness is more than you know. Some of them have probably never felt a soft touch or been told they're a good boy or girl. They're large, smart, animals who could hurt a human badly if they so choose. Thank you so much for helping them all, even if it's their last day on earth. At least they're being loved as they're leaving this earth. I am so happy and excited to see one come in with a fixable issue being sent off to pasture and watching them live life. You can tell they're surprised, and happy, once they get in that green grass. The Horsey version of Heaven is what you all have and are.
I love all the clean hay as they come of the trailer. Soft landing and a snack! Great idea.
Troy is so genuinely loving and gentle with the horses.
That poor black horse, so awful. I hate those previous owners, hope for Karma.
You reap what you sow.
I'm super happy ya'll are giving her a chance! She is a beautiful bay with her black and white socks. She seems very sweet.
Fingers and toes crossed for that poor Mare 😔 Praying
I was just watching a you tube video earlier about Bo Derek and it mentioned that she has a lot to do with stopping horse slaughter ..so hopefully soon this horrible trade will stop with enough support..please god ..great work as always guys much love from the UK x
The problem is there are so many unwanted horses that will never find homes. As horrible as it sounds there is a need for slaughter facilities but with humane methods and constant checking.
@@juliaforsyth8332 i dont think horse Plus sees it that way at all.." Slaughter " is what they are trying to stop..so im not getting why you are here even saying that ?
I think uncontrolled breeding has to stop.
We love Haley!
Prayers for every horse and everyone involved in this rescue. ❤
So painful to watch 😢. Dr. Lydia you are one hard working lady, your not above doing some dirty work... very commendable, I admire you. I hope you are able to save the beautiful 10,000 dollar horse, he deserves it. Thank you All of you for your hard work and compassion. Love you guys ❤
Wow! I'm at a loss for words which is not normal for me. Through the tears I want to say WELL, WELL DONE ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU! It is so good to see Troy back. Wondered where he had gone. Hope to see Hayley soon. X
Good to see Troy! Welcome back.
Do you know why he was gone...?
That poor horse. How do people not get in trouble for this!!!!
send my prayers are with the horses and donkeys and cats and dogs and my prayers are with you all
That poor girl!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Please, please try to save that beautiful horse with the cut legs😢😢😢
Dr Lydia and Dr Gina are going to sleep on it before deciding what to do. I imagine we'll get an update soon.
The horse that fell through the trailer is doing better. We performed surgery, and she is healing up wonderfully.
I want to name the trailer- injured mare Hope.
LOVE IT.
Troy is back. I like this guy. I just love what you all do to the horses. So much love and caring.
Prayers for that beautiful mare. Hopefully she'll be able to be saved.
Aren't these horses ones that would go to auction if they weren't intercepted. To the same auction that kicked you out? If so, I'll bet they regret that move but glad for the horses that they did.
Yes. People have heard about the buy out the HP is doing now. So bless the horses that do not have to go through auction.
I can’t wait to see them grazing in groups, happy and calm ❤️❤️❤️
beautiful horse too. praying full recovery.
My thoughts and prayers for the sweet precious mare that has hurt back legs may God be with her in this time of need and healing and love for her my heart goes out to her ❤
I'm so glad you are able to intervene on the kill buyer and the auction I am so proud to be a member of your team and will continue to be a member thank you
I wish I had vet students. That hit me. Poor mare.
I noticed that little dunn mare.She kind of hung around someone has taught her how to ground tie... She is beautiful.I wish I lived closer...
I really appreciate you guys putting hay down where the horses get off the trailer. 99 % of them are so hungry. They seem more relaxed with a mouth full after a long hard ride. Thank you everyone! Xoxo
Sending Hugs to Dr. Lydia.
Dr. Gina, -- how are You holding up?!?
Thank you all, HPHS team, for ALL you do! From the happy endings to the heartbreak cases, there is so much good being done here every day. 🙌
Troy, it's great to see you back and looking well, great to see your sure and gentle hand with the horses, and great to see you smile. 😊
That last mare will be fine. Seen much worse than this heal.
She's healthy and young.
Horses can heal themselves. Don't overdo it!
She'll be 🙂
Unless the joint capsule is penetrated or the bones are fractured.
This poor horse
Tawnee it is not just the auction/slaughter scenario which needs to change radically in the 🎉USA but educating people generally in the care of equines PRIOR to actually buying a horse. Also anyone found to have abused equines should face criminal charges,,and if found hiilty, be banned from owning horses, or othrr animals for a long time. Hopefully your Education Outreach will have a positive outcome.
the fact that a "Less than 10% chance" is still enough for Dr. Lydia to want to try... she is a blessing
I REMAIN SO THRILLED FOR YOU, -- and obviously the horses you intercept.
Love you All.
God bless of you taking these precious babies in and giving them the medical attention they need.
Oh my god, that little black horse with the broken back…the look in her eyes almost pleading that it finally stops hurting…how awful to ship a horse around in this condition…😢
It seems the auction ban may be a blessing for the equines because you are getting more of them.
My thoughts exactly.
I’m praying for her please try to save her
the expensive horse at the end ... those owners who just tossed her out should be ashamed. they of all people should be able to afford the vet care to at least have put herto sleep if they couldn't afford the rest. there are others in far less financial positions who wouldn't do as they have done. I hope she pulls through.
The horse that fell through the trailer floor..heartbreaking.
Here in NZ any road transport must display a current warrant (certificate) of fitness which comes up annually for vehicles registered as follows, (and before that it is 6 monthly)
You have to get a warrant of fitness check every: 12 months if your vehicle was first registered anywhere in the world on or after 1 January 2000. 6 months if your vehicle was first registered anywhere in the world before 1 January 2000.13
This is processed by vehicle inspectors and mechanics and can only pass through strict criteria. This seems to be a law sorely lacking in the USA. It would prevent those horrendous leg injuries on that stunning young mare. Infuriating! I hope she recovers and can live a life ahead of her deserves.
@julierussell8876. Same here in Germany. Every 2 years vehicles, also trailers have to pass "TÜV". This is mandatory and is a thorough inspection.
at least they have hay food and water and their nightmare has ended - they are now in the right place were they should be and well looked after
You guys HUSTLE!! AMAZING. And the horses just move along the best they can. I'm sure they sense that the horror has ended there.
