In every community there are good and bad people…. That’s not about the community but about people. ♥🌎🌺☀
I’m so sorry that some of our friends said about the Amish… I’ve seen Amish horses at auctions before and they were the most trained, friendly and loving horses I’ve ever seen in my life! The furniture these people make is amazing!!! They are self sustained and such a loving people!
I have some Amish furniture….I absolutely love it! The furniture is well made and is of heirloom quality. The Amish are honest, hardworking people.
A honest man. Nice land.
P.S. One of the reasons I really love your channel is exactly how you addressed the upset comments with education and DISCUSSION. Thank you! (Vicky, great editing as always---and you made me cry at the end)
Thank you so much!
All the Amish people I have ever met, were the most polite people around. Their horses were very fit, well fed and very happy horses
There are good people and bad people in all walks of life. I watch another channel where this woman goes to auctions all the time to acquire horses for her riding programs and recently purchased a horse trained by Amish and this horse was beautiful, healthy and well trained. Wishing Ben lots of luck with his new horse.
yes, and she is from Michigan and those Amish run auctions are top and no slaughter
I am glad you talked to Charlie about his friend on camera. It is so sad when people think of all of any “group” as being all the same.
I'm from N. Indiana area, my Dads friend was a contractor who hired the Amish. They built the framing on our new home and pole barn on ten acres.
They are fast efficient and hard-working men... but the young boys were always far too shy to talk🤭😉.
The women were always marvelous and gracious hosts when we visited, to buy vegetables or leather goods for our horse farm. As a young girl, I was amazed at the beauty and cleanlines inside of their homes and the talent of their sewing skills.
We would all retire on the porch, for homemade ice cream, and share a sunset, as we watched the young men prepare their buggy in preparation for a night out with their date. The old men would always tease the young men... but I envied them, close-knit and God-fearing families.
Thank you, Sir, for sharing & standing for them. As their lives aren't easy, the work is real, their animals are not pets... but each one is an integral component, in a working functioning farm, and a family surviving, in these times.
You have a new subscriber, a cowgirl, just one mile, from route 66 in the H.D. 🏜🏇 of CA.
Great comment! Thanks
Thanks so much for sticking up for the Amish!
What a beautiful place.
What a wonderful man that picked up Lady and Charlotte….just a down to earth “wish there were many more like him” kinda guy.
SOOOOO happy for these horses and the new owners! Pay NO ATTENTION to the naysayers...
I was raised in southern Indiana, and we owned a funeral home. My dad would oversee the Amish community's funeral as required by Indiana. They also sold their produce and bake goods in our parking lot and several of the girls and I became good friends. We also ate together and would help each other out when needed. They were very respected in our community.
I've got good friends that are Amish. One family I've known close to 25 years. They recently moved to Pennsylvania. Miss them alot. Good folks.
Did you have any knowledge of how their animals were treated?
It is ridiculous that people who view your channel think they have a right to chastise you for finding homes for the horses you have on your farm. Personally I enjoy seeing your adventures. If people don’t agree with your plans they ought to go to a channel they agree with. Amish depend on their horses for transportation and work. Glad they have Charolette, she will be a good addition to their family. Glad they made it home safely. 💕From East Texas
My comment was respectful towards Amish folks, or indeed---people who live in Michigan! lol ~ They are neighbors to me here in Ohio. It's not The People OR their way of life or their religion I would ever be negative towards----I grew up in North Eastern Ohio where communities of Amish lived right alongside all the rest of us. Frankly, I am in AWE of them! However, while I'm sure MANY Amish folks are very good stewards of land and livestock, there are money-makers with puppy mills too. There are plenty of drafts worked all their lives until worn out and broken down---then dumped at auctions. I'm not in a position to judge anyone, just saying, these are facts too---so, I understand why there was a hue and cry about Charlotte. If she's intended as a family riding horse, I'm sure she'll be just fine, and the kids will love her. As for lady---well, Michigan winters are TOUGH, but, she'll be retiring to gorgeous land with tons of grass and trees---and your new friends must be pretty darned wonderful to drive all the way out to Arizona to pick up these horses from you. It's true though, we as Viewers get too attached AND Too Bossy. I can admit it----can't speak for the others! Love you All! (Amish and Michiganers included) 🥰
Thanks for the updates. It sure looks as though both Lady and Charlotte will be living amazing lives!
Was born and partially raised in Michigan. Then moved all the way to Ohio. In Ohio we have a very large Amish population. I have never seen any of these people be anything but kind and supportive of their animals. Some of all religions have been found to be dog breeders. It is not just an Amish only problem.
So nice to meet your new friends. It will be a good fit! There is still much good in this world! Keep looking for it!!❤
Literally what a wonderful life both horses will have! Enjoy!
Thank you for your evenhandedness and patience. I'm a Michigander, I live in Amish country. Our neighbors are kind, hard-working and skilled👍
Well said!
Great Video🎉
Thank You😊
Some people just need to stop & count to “10” first…just saying!!!
Let’s all Count Our Many Blessings!!!
Love you guys ❤ everybody is not the same . There are good and bad in every body .❤❤❤ thankfully they are good ❤❤❤
I am from Michigan and for a few years I lived in Charlotte Michigan around a lot of Amish I became friends from driving my neighbor around, I am not saying I know everything about Amish but I do know that about ninety percent of the Amish are very good people and take care of their animals, probably are some that don't take care of them, but I have seen plenty of English people that don't take care of their animals. I sure miss being around them now that I am down here in Arizona, I do still call my friend to see how they are doing, oh I am not Mormon either but I believe that they take care of their animals, I don't put people down for what they.. are or what they Believe , if we were all like this could you imagine how good the world would be.
I'm sure Lady and Charlotte will be well taken care of and loved at their beautiful new home.
GREAT video! Charlotte and Lady are very lucky that Charlie and Ben decided to go to great expense and take the time-consuming trip to adopt them and bring them to a beautiful farm! I'm sure they will have a very happy life there.
Very important lesson about humanity and generosity of spirit in your video today. I love your character and kindness Alan. You are an inspiration to your followers no matter what religion we are. Keep up the good work and remind us all to be family centered and open minded. And keep teaching us about rescues of horses!!!
And p.s. I think the Amish hate talk is fueled by the draft horses ending up in kill pens. People forget there are THOUSANDS of people sending out unwanted horses. I would bet the Amish are a very small percent of that. And there are unethical mean spirited people of every race and creed. That’s why we need mentors like you! ❤
People can be so judgemental and I suppose their fore fathers, since the beginning of time, had tractors, motor cars , electricity etc etc. I think it is great that the Armish are keeping history alive for the younger generation to see what life was all about, especially the pioneers. They are keeping up the type of life our forefathers lived and their animals were used for the purpose of farming and travel, including oxen, mules and donkeys. Some people only keep horses for shows etc and can afford to. There are even horses in heaven and no tractors and motor cars. Live and let live is my motto and help where you can. Even a glass of water to some road worker, on a hot day or a take-away meal for a homeless person, even a genuine love hug for some stranger who looks down and out. This is love for people and animals. Have followed you for many years but don't always comment. Love you all and am horse crazy since I was knee high to a grasshopper and am now very close to 85 years of age. Praise God. Shalom and maranatha.
Few years back we attended an Amish horse sale in Topeka KS. We witnessed the Amish handlers whipping the horses with leather straps! We had to leave, Just sayin! We wish Charlotte the best and it brought a tear to see her leaving! Thanks for caring for the rescues!
That was one person
I dont tell others what to do on youtube. I am sitting up here in canada and while I do often have opinions about things, I would never judge the people I follow here. I would never tell you what to do or not do. and since I have watched your channel for some time, I trust that you make the best decisions. Its wonderful that those horses have good homes now.
I will never understand how some people think. If he wanted to abuse or mistreat a horse he would not spend the money on gas to go that far for a 21 year old horse to do something bad to it. Alan you are Mormon and some people don't care for them either. If you like some one why does there religion be the first thing you hate about them. There are a lot of people I don't care for or like very much and I don't know or care what there religion is or if they have one. If you treat people right is the first impression I look at when I meet some one. I watch your videos because I like the way you do and what you do. If some of your viewers were having to decide what to do with these horses you rescue God help the poor things. I don't have a horse but have all ways loved them. Folks its a business running a farm or a CZcams channel. Thats my two cents worth
I am sure that the anti Amish sentiment sprouted from the horse rescue videos on you tube, where people buy horses at auction before they are sold for meat, and very often the Amish horses are in bad shape and have been harshly treated, and many are sold in great groups when their useful life had ended.
yep,Tennesee seems to rescue belgian that are in the slaughter pipeline from who knows where and they always have negative comments about the Amish
And those videos are from one point of view in certain situations. Spur, the Shetland pony that was rescued , was not owned by an Amish family. Yet, he was really mistreated.
There was a farm near us that had 200 skeletal horses confiscated because of neglect, and those were not Amish people. You can’t form opinions from watching videos because it’s always from one point of view.
It is too bad that so many of us are distrustful of things that we don't know or are different It happens in every walk of life. Bless the horses and their new owners.
Some people are just ignorant. We don't need to go on what we know nothing about. We all need to love and respect people with different beliefs.
I’ve lived over 60 years and I’ve only become aware lately that people are so hateful towards the Amish. Is it because of those fake Amish “Reality” TV shows? I don’t know. 🤔
Hi Alan I from Mass. and use to be a barrel racer to old for it now . My father in law was a horse sales man ,we went to Pa. to see an auction ,on the way we seen work horses plowing the fields the driver looked like he was taking a nap LOL . The horses were beautiful and just plouding along doing there job . We made it to the auction and there was a team of blue roan work mules they were looking like they had never been brush rather rough but not real skinny and hooves looked ok . Two men cam over to them one on each side and within 10 min. tops those two roans looked beautiful . the work the men did on each side was awesome brush shaved and slicked down like they never rolled a day in there lifes. the auction went on very well ,it was run by Amish and ran very well . I agree with you i like to see horses, mules even ponies work at what there meant to do .
It is always easy to classify people, but unwise to think everyone is the same. Sometimes we aren’t the same in the same family. We are all learning. Thank you Charlie
This video made my day! What lucky horses they are to have Charlie and Ben give them such beautiful homes. Thank you both so much for giving such good homes to both horses, so sorry you had to face unjustified criticism. I just can’t fathom some people’s mind set, to come so far to give homes to regular horses I knew they were going to great homes. This video proved that to be right! Much love from the U.K.
I didn't read the comments in the video that people were upset. So I can only guess because of some shows or videos of people rescuing draft horses that had been worked to the point of abuse. I've seen videos like that too. But I think just like any group of people there are good people and there are bad people. I think Charlotte will be fine and it sounds like she will be loved. And I think Lady will have a fantastic rest of her life with her new family. ❤
I never ever judge anyone and never would to be honest. So very happy that ❤ both the horses are going to such ❤ a lovely 😊home .
Thank you for giving them a home! ❤
What a Blessing and wonderful experience for Charlotte and Lady. Praying that the Vet can get Lady on a good medication. My 41 yr old quarter horse was on Bute for his last 2 yrs. . Girls enjoy the ride.
❤️🫶❤️ North Carolina 🇺🇸
People need open their eyes. There's good & bad in variety of people.
Welcome. Charlie and ben to the family. So glad you are takeing the horses i know they will be loved. There is to much judgeing in this world
You can't say all of one group we all have our own choices to make. We need to talk less and learn and get to know people. Good job Allen I just know the horses will love it there. Watch Dr. Pol he's up there and just see how many go there to dr pol and take good care of their animals ❤
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! They're going to have a great life out there in that green pasture!! 👏 😊
Alan, you rescue horses and always make sure they go to good homes. These two horses are really in greener pastures and in good homes.
Alan I’m so happy you spoke about the Amish. Some of those comments were just awful. I love the Amish. I don’t care what kind of a community, they’re always be some people who doing the wrong things. Please people do not clump all people together as being bad. We will live in a broken world. If everyone just tried being a little kinder to each other, we would all be a little happier. Charlie has beautiful land, those horses will live out the rest of their lives, being well taken care of. 🙏🙏🙏
Sadly, many Amish are given a bad rap because of the puppy mill industry here in PA. But where I am, they are courteous. I have always tried to pass their buggies with csution and respect so as to not harm the family by not scaring the horse.
It’s nice to see someone take Lady and Charlotte to a good forever home
I love this message 😭 thank you for sharing.
People shouldn't lump everyone in the same box.
I'm glad she received a good home and they get the help needed if they need.
Education helps open people's hearts and open eyes to stop the abuse instead of looking the other way.
We all need to be responsible to make a difference.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for explaining to your veiwers that not all Amish and Mennonites are trouble. I know in Ontario Canada that our Mennonites are taking great care of their animals.
Michigan is just across the border from me. Would have loved to had them bring the pony and foal back for me. This is the second time I missed out on an opportunity to get a equine from you Allan. The first time was Skunk. Haven't seen any videos about him for quit sometime. God Bless you Allan and have a safe trip Charlie and Ben.
Darn it! We have not heard about skunk in along time either
I was a trainer and breeder for 50 years and have seen a lot of abuse from many owners and breeders. I must say all of the Amish I have met cared for their stock very well. I just hate seeing generalizations about any group. There is good and bad in everyone. Plus It amazes me how people jump in and offer advice when they don't have all the information. Sounds like they got excellent homes.
I am from Michigan too. I'm about an hour from the Lansing area. The horses will do so well in that area.
Do not let these negative Nellie's get you down people talked about jesus so u can imagine what they will say about other people. Subscriber from Birmingham Alabama
I never followed your videos, so speaking for only what I have learned about the Amish is from X Amish. That is all I have to go on. In the sight of God anyone that is hiding things is not of God.
It says in his word " anything hidden will come to light." that is with all people. There are Christians that also hide things.
What good people bless you both!
I too was surprised at the negative comments about the Amish people. 😢
❤I think Charlotte will have an awesome life with the Amish children.❤
I love my friends in the Amish community. The Dad raised gorgeous thoroughbred horses.❤
What an amazing video!, thanks allan vicky charlie and ben. Loved this. Great respect,
North bay on canada
God bless you from Port Huron Michigan ❤.
I know you are responsible and a good person ❤
The big issue is when they end up at killer auctions. Lots of the drafts. Have seen sad horses, drafts from the Amish dumped.
What a perfect piece of heaven on earth! Gorgeous! ❤❤❤
Alan- THANK U, THANK U, THANK U!❤❤❤❤Love the Amish!!!!!! Charlotte is in Great hands!!!!🎉😊👋Charlie❤😊
I live in Lansing, MI & would love to visit Lady one day. I think she's beautiful.
I've seen those horses rescued after the Amish are done with them. Maybe these people are good, let's hope.
The Amish are great people with their animals. I'm sorry there are so many opinionated people. 9 out of 10 don't know what they are talking about. God made us unique. Not one of us is the same. God tries to teach us tolerance, love, and acceptability of differences, etc. God bless.
So happy to hear your comments Charlie!! Please send lots of pictures of both horses!! Thanks to you and Ben - it allows Alan and Vicki to help more animals in need!! God bless you all!!
Here in Salmon, Id. we love our Amish community. They are wonderful honest hard working people. They are a good example for all of us. Shame on those who made the negative comments.
Before you say shame on those who made comments about their concerns, please do some research. It is mostly the old school Amish that work their animals to death with little vet care and almost no hoof care with their plow Belgians. There are many rescues out there that specialize in rescuing these work horses at auctions. They are generally NOT cared for and then dumped as kill buyers love the heavy horses as they sell to slaughter houses by the POUND. So the bigger work breeds are in trouble and being neglected and abused. The younger Amish seem to be turning the way horses are handled around and we are happy to see and hear that, but there are STILL a bunch that care nothing about the animals they own. IT IS A FACT. So it goes both ways, I agree there are wonderful Amish breeding and training wonderful horses, these are the younger men and families. The older ones are the problem and there is still the puppy mill problem that is horrendous as well. I don't think every fan made a broad statement against the Amish, I think most were concerned as we/they are informed about auctions and the slaughter pipelines. We watch hundreds of auctions live with the many rescue groups that go there to rescue so we have seen the problems and neglect these Amish horses have endured. Like most things more of us were just concerned that you were totally unaware of the Amish horse problems, we did not say that the ones in Michigan were awful personally, we all just wanted to get you curious about our concerns and to get up to speed on what IS AND HAS been going on with Amish throwaway horses, It is even sadder that many of the auction horses that the Amish bring are sometimes very young and have not received the vet care needed to keep them sound and therefore when these work horses or buggy horses become lame or have injuries that were never addressed and become a financial drag on the owners, they just get dumped. and sadly most of the big drafts end up in the slaughter pipelines which is just horrendous what these animals go through before they even get to the slaughter houses. Mexico has the worst, I have seen undercover videos of horses being SKINNED ALIVE, and the big drafts punched ten or more times in the head with a huge weight before they finally die. Sorry, but to those who let these beautiful animals end up like that, I have no words for.
Sorry there not the only ones that are bad with equines. There are other cultures too.@@claudiadickerman4218
Yes, various Amish (and Mennonites) have been engaged in puppy mills criss-crossing multiple states and they are being called out. Religious freedom does not mean that they can abuse/ neglect animals.
Everyone must speak up about animal abuse regardless of the social status of the abusers.
Horse racing is another industry that treats horses horribly. Big, big money in horse racing, and yes, there are whistle- blowers whose conscience speaks to them and they call their ego-driven employers and vets out. BRAVO!
There's alot of good Amish people, and theres some who don't treat they're horse's right. Not all our bad .
I love My local Amish community
I really dislike negative Nellie's who are usually simply ignorant. Please give Charley my best wishes, he will thoroughly enjoy the horses ❤ best revenge on haters is Sucess 🎉
That was sad to see Charlotte leaving!! 😢. Beautiful farm in MI.
So sad
Thank you for providing more information. I appreciate it. 💖💖💖
Lovely home for the girls and you all have the biggest heart ❤😊
I love the Amish people, Jesus saying love they self and love they neighborhood. Those that are judgemental are judgemental of themselves. Because they don't love themselves. All are welcome and loved!❤
I know several Amish people and did buy my horses from them. My horses are wonderful. I've seen good and bad in the Amish AND English community. Its much easier to judge the Amish as they don't have the ability to defend themselves. Horses are work animals to them and some will mistreat them. I know of people in my area who neglect and abuse their horses. When one reports this abuse, horses go from pets to livestock and don't have the same protections as dogs and cats etc... I love spending time with my Amish friends. My horses are pictured on my YT profile. 1 Morgan gelding, Morgan mare and 1 Saddlebred mare. 2 can drive and ride. My Morgan mare is 4 years old and is still growing. I'm doing ground work with her and will wait another year to back her. She came home as a weanling.
Wow I had no idea that people would think the Amish were bad, the Amish are very good people. 💖💖🙏🙏👍👍💖💖🙏🙏
I have not ever known any Amish. The things I know is they are hard workers and have good work ethics. I believe that being prejudice is a horrible skill n. Everyone comes from Adam and Eve, so you need to all reality we are the same race. God loves everyone and any one who has faith, believes in Jesus and asks Him into his heart will go to Heaven.
👁👁 👋 SE Michigan Here …good people green lands and plenty of fresh water …❤️
These horses will have a great home! Alan would never sell a horse to someone he thought would mistreat them!! God bless you all!!
❤Please like and Share ❤
we want to continue to watch this Beautiful Family ❤
I think what some references about Amish, is from horse rescue channel s that they rescued horses from the sale barn, alot of drafr, standard bred, walking horses in Tennessee.? Im not sure, but that would be my guess.? I watch alot of different animal channels, but i like this channel alot.
me thinks they can shove their criticism where the sun doesn't shine. it's your life, you're a good man and you do the right thing.
I drove truck and delivered goods for many years to the Amish. I never saw them be disrespectful to their horses! This was in upstate NY and in the winter, they would get to the grocery store, water the horse, rub them down and then put a wool blanket and blanket on them before they did anything else. Why would you hurt your only means of transportation?
Live and let live.
Living in north central Ohio I committed and did so from personal experience. There are without a doubt some wonderful Amish in our area but there is also a large portion of that community that considers their horses as tools and are worked as such when used up they are discarded or terminated. This is not an attack in any way just my experience. I frequently have Amish do construction projects and or custom cabinets/woodworking and enjoy working with them.
I too live in Ohio Amish country. There are many who take fine care of their animals, but there are many who don't. I would not like to risk that one of my horses might go to the ones who don't. And don't get me started about their puppy mills!
Horses are ‘rescued’ all the time by people who never intend to help the animal at all. We’re told all the time to never offer a horse for free as it attracts the type of people that take the horse immediately to auction. These people even bring their children/grandchildren along to seal the deal. It has nothing to do with being Amish. Once the horse leaves you really have no way of knowing what becomes of them.
Sounds to me that Charles, and Ben sounds like good guys to me .
Beautiful property Charlie!
It’s not right to assume any person has certain traits as a group. There are both farm animals and dogs in rescue that have come from Amish farmers and Amish puppy mills, but that does not mean it’s this particular family
Happy Father's Day ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Amish people are very pleasent people to be around and they are wonderful people. don't let people put you down for being fair to other people who are just as good as you are... God Bless You and your family... I love watching you on CZcams. Keep up the great work.
You know what is best for your horse's 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I agree place is beautiful. God bless yall for taking care of these amazing animals.
👋 Bye Lady - bye Charlotte! Have an awesome new life! 👋
Have a nice day
I have had a lot of interaction with the Amish in our area. Helping them and them helping my family. Like us they all serve a purpose in the community! As far as them not taking care of their horses, that’s a lot of trash! If you don’t take care of your car it will break down. If you don’t take care of your tractor, it will break down! Enough said. Most of the people that are putting up these comments have no knowledge personally. They treat everyone and every animal as they wish to be treated. Just like the Bible tells all of us.
I watch another horse channel and she is in Michigan and goes to the auctions all the time, and she just bought one maybe 5 months ago, and she was ridden in a competition and she took a all the way around blue ribbons, this is how well trained the Amish lady trained this horse the other one she bought was a beauty and come to find out she was pregnant so she bought 2 horses for the price of one. lol the worst part is she was only used for buggy’s never ridden, after she had the filly she ended up with a bad case of shivers so she’s become a all around pet now with her bonus filly, and we all go along for the ride at the actions and there are some beautiful well maintained horses and some that have out lived their usefulness I guess you could say like lady has arthritis and they are sold off. Every once in a while I have see some that have come in that look really bad, but it’s unknown who was selling them could be Amish could be English. God only really knows. So how someone can say the Amish miss treat their horses is not something that should be said really. I pray they both go on to have a beautiful life out there. Tfs ❤😊
Oh my goodness I have totally done that 😂 so many times I've had to rerecord something.
Any Amish i ever met I was very impressed by. They make the best food, have the best little shops, restaraunts, rv park...., just very good people as a whole. Good family values, work ethic, excellent talents. We lived in Yoder, Kansas a few monrhs for work, and it was a great time because of the Amish. Lots of memories for my children from there. Im sure the people who had negative comments heard or seen 1 or 2 bad stories and nothing else to go by, to make such a statement. You cant group everyone together like that.
