Please give that poor Standardbred so much love and extra treats. My heart broke when I saw those whip marks. He still carried himself with so much dignity.
@@Terry-lh8cn i am actually a horse person that doesn’t care what breed my horse is because every breed of horse and every horse deserves love and care. i do love quarter horses and thoroughbreds. standardbred are gorgeous as well.
I am so disappointed at how awful the Amish people treat their animals...it's a disgrace. God didn't give us animals to abuse them but to treat them with Love, kindness and respect 💞
@14:05, yes. Work with your vet. My mare is 25. She had a rough winter despite awesome feed and dental care. I've had her since she was a weanling but I might have to put her down before this next winter. It's going to about kill me to make that decision, but I refuse to ship her to slaughter.
People forget that wild horses have a lifespan around 20 years. The 30+ horses you see have never missed a hoof trim or vet check. They had a balanced died and good breeding. Never overworked or beaten. Over 20 with no care is a miracle for most horses.
There are a lot of different types of Amish in the religion beliefs, I am saying that up front. There’s several who believe that animals don’t have a soul therefore don’t feel pain. They treat their animals horrendously, including horses and puppy mills.
But like you said doctor Nancy they didn't ship they're out on pasture they're enjoying their life, and they are feeling love for their last days? Thank god for you all
I started riding when I was four years old; we had horses my whole life growing up, and trained more than one of them ourselves. We'd use quirts and buggy whips as cues, yes, but never ever would we have ever considered striking a horse like that; a light tap, or even just a wave of the buggy whip, is enough to tell the horse what you want. The very idea of breaking a horse's skin like that is just horrifying to me. I can't imagine what kind of a person feels the need to do that. I'm so glad that poor whipped Standardbred wound up in your hands.
So hard for Kory to make that decision, but he made the right one for the horse and not for himself 💔 And the owners of those horses who made another tough decision made the right one by giving them to Horse Plus. Plus giving all those wonderful gifts of a trailer, saddles, food etc, how kind hearted they are ❤
I have a 13 year old dog..last week she I thought she had a stroke..I was going to put her to sleep..but when I took her to the vet and I trust this vet he said she had an episode..not stroke or heart attack..he said she was healthy..but she has developed a heart mummer just recently..I was so over whelmed with this..been keeping an eye on her..
Im so glad you discuss the end of life care and decisions. So many people refuse to think about it. Horses like many prey animals, mask their pain as not to show weakness or they get eaten. So when they physically show signs of lameness or being unwell. You know they are in great pain. Keeping animals going when there is pain is purely selfish by the owners. True love and respect means doing the last act of love at the most appropriate time for your animal , as devastating as that is. Big hugs to Kory, who had to make that decision 💔
I'm so sorry Kory that it was time to say goodbye to your beloved Ace. Horses steal our hearts, and then take a piece of it when it's their time to go. We find comfort in knowing that we made the right decision by putting the horse's best interest before our own. On a lighter note... What an amazing donation HPHS received when given that trailer and everything inside!! What a blessing!
I had a bird with a heart condition I had been treating for over a year. I took her to the vet because she was having problems. When I found out her heart condition was worse, I asked them to put her down. The Dr wouldn't do it. So I gave her to a nurse who worked at the vet, she was crazy about her. I said I don't think this is the best thing for her. I said I didn't think she would make it a week. Sure enough, 3 days later, I got a call telling me I was right. This was the first vet I ever had that wouldn't put an animal that was ready to be let go down. I found a new vet.
I had a local vet do this with a 16 year old retriever/Aussie mix. Her arthritis was horrible and she couldn’t curve her back to poop or pee could barely walk, and stopped eating and drinking. He wanted to do IVs instead. No pain meds just fluids. He finally relented. I miss my sweet girl like crazy.
My deepest condolences. For the lost of your 🐦. It sounded like she was good pet bird too. My prayers 🙏😇 and thoughts gos out to you 🙏. With love ❤️ fly over the rainbow 🌈🌈 bridge 🌉.
Seems like the Amish are a major factor in injured horses ending up at auction. Shame on them 😕. Good to see the foal outside running around. Sorry for your loss Kory, beautiful mustang 😢. Great video guys, full of varied content!
That was certainly a full circle of life episode! Thank you to the wonderful lady who donated all of her equipment with her horses…that is the love that pays it forward.
I'd rather these beautiful creatures enjoy a couple of wonderful days in the sun and grass then end their days in misery unloved. Thank you for letting them have a couple days of peaceful leisure in a herd.
You never want your beloved companion's last day to be their worst day if you can help it. i wish more people followed your example. i truly appreciate how much love and compassion you show a hospice horse. You make sure that for the sweethearts you rescue but can't save, their last day is one of their best. To Kory, my heart is with you. Thank you for loving Ace and for giving him that Forever Home. 🙏🐎 💙☘️🥀
Poor Kory! You can literally watch him turn back to a smile child who's heartbroken over his beloved horse. Prayers for ALLL of you AND ALL THE RESCUES.
Cory, you read Sheila's body language right on! Your skills are awesome. She'll get there with your loving kindness and patience. Dr Nancy has been a blessing to add to your staff❤️ The abuse these horses endure is so heartbreaking 💔 So thankful for Horse Plus Humane Society helping take the suffering and helping them. Every one of your employees is so excellent! The surrender owner that donated her trailer, tack & money is awesome! Bless her👏❤️👌
The thing about those older horses that really frustrated me was that a lot of that is preventable as well. Good hoof care, good diet, and good treatment regimen can help a horse maintain healthy bones and joints. They may have had many more years than what they have now, though there is no promise in that, the chances would be higher.
I live with a few chronic pain conditions, and have had most of them since I was a young teen. Thankfully I have treatments that at least control my conditions enough that I can live a relatively normal life. If there wasn't any treatment, like there isn't for the elderly horses shown in this episode, life would just be daily torture for me. I'm so thankful that Horse Plus is saving these horses from that.
My heart broke for Kory having to make that awful decision. But I'm grateful he gave Ace such a good life while he was able to enjoy it. I'm overjoyed that Dr. Nancy is taking Ginger & Joy together. Thank you Julie for making this possible. 💙 I'm so angry at the abuser who left all those whip scars on that horse. May his karma be swift and come at him in equal measure to the pain he inflicted. So many emotions in this episode. Well done video, and well worth the wait.
i remember watching kory adopt ace and now he has to make the hard decision but i am glad that he’s doing what is best for ace and not being like other people. kory is just a inspiration and so helpful when training a horse. i write down all of his steps for when i start a new horse. i want to learn his training techniques.
Thank you for giving them a happy few days at the end , always is hard to watch them go from the auction straight to euthanasia .. it's nice to see them get a few days ❤
It hurts my heart to think an owner would rather send their faithful broken horse to an auction, instead of doing the right thing by the animal & giving it the last act of kindness, it’s like they’d rather have the money, I don’t know how the owners can sleep at night, knowing what horrors await their horse at those awful slaughter houses. Thank you HPHS for everything you do xx
Can the Standardbred Retirement Foundation in NJ take that poor abused guy? I've fostered and adopted from them. They do that and some live out their lives with them. That guy needs a soft place to land and to be guaranteed to be safe.
@@cynthiamcgee4829 Actually, I think the light bulb just turned on in my brain. Did you by any chance voice text your comment? I think maybe it put "cats" instead of "tack". Is that maybe what happened?
I so wish I could get the race horse. Years ago I worked with a pacer of the track. He was the sweetest thing. And he worked so hard to learn the canter. His Name was Windchester. I'll never forget him. Who ever owned the horse you have should be charged with abuse. Paperwork should show who it is and they should be exposed. Or don't these horses have paperwork I don't know. His tattoo could trace to them.
Wow....what an amazing video! Congratulations to Dr. Nancy on her adopting her "Darlin' Ginger! Seeing true animal ownership and the responsibilites it entails is so important. So sorry Kory had to say goodbye to Ace....such a very difficult thing to do. The older horses experience true care and attention while evaluations take place...can not ask for more than that. Horse Plus is a leader in the struggle to keep unwanted animals out of slaughterhouses. As people learn about what you do you will get even more support...and helping other Shelters become Full Circle of Life is definitely a great thing!
A huge THANK YOU to the people who donated that beautiful trailer and all of the other things!!! I am so very sorry that you had to give up your horses, just know that they will be well looked after. That with the addition of another trailer, they will have more room to be able to help more horses whenever you get to feeling sad. You have done outstanding work in helping horses!!! Be Blessed, always.
This was such a an emotional roller coaster! Thrilling that Dr Nancy will be mom to Ginger Darlin' and her friend. She'd be a fantastic owner for any animal, but Ginger may have extra needs, and no one could be better prepared to help her. HPHS struck gold when they found Dr Nancy. (Now y'all need to get her a dog for the office, and name him Matthew M!) Kory, I'm very sorry you had to lose Ace so soon. Just watching him soak up the loving and treats from the staff, it was easy to see he was a special boy. Thank you for giving him such a good life. I hope your next mustang comes along soon. The whip scars on the buggy horse took me back to reading Black Beauty as a child. Even then, I couldn't imagine why anyone would mistreat these wonderful animals. I'm sure he, like the horses spending their last days in a sunlit pasture, feels like he's found heaven. May he have plenty of time to enjoy it! Thanks to Tawnee, Jason, and everyone else there for all your hard work and compassion.
Cory you are so right about getting him handled while he is young. My babies were started from the minute they were born, but then I had very wonderful moms that had no problems with me handling their babies.
Last week I had to have my sweet horse put down. She was 35 but her heart was starting to give her trouble. Such a very hard thing to do but the right thing.
My girl is 35. She's started a pretty dramatic weight loss. I think I may be right there with you by fall, if not sooner. It's rough, she's my last of 10. Sorry about your girl.
So very many ups and downs in this video, but that's how rescue goes, right? Love the trailer that was donated and thank you to those who gave from their hearts to Horse Plus!
That would have been in interesting if short ride on Shelia I expect. She was doing some impressive bucking and jumping. I know you do all you can to give a chance to the horses you rescue. At least they get some time to be horses as much as they can be and get to hopefully see that not all people are horrible. That poor horse with the whip scars. Whoever did that deserves to be tied to a post and take just as many lashes themselves. If they were still alive at the end, turn them loose in the street with no treatment offered. There is no excuse for torturing an animal. Condolences to Kory. He had a great life with a great person. It doesn't matter what species of pet, if you do it right, they give so many wonderful days, but ultimately a very sad but important one that you have to get right and don't get to duck out on.
Whipping humans would not justify whipping horses. Two wrongs never make a right. Horse Plus focuses on helping the animals, not whipping the former owners. Horse Plus focuses on the right actions, not repeating wrongs done.
It's so nice to see the kind interactions especially after some have been beaten and shown utter cruelty. You guys are so strong and so kind, thankyou for being here.
Felt so sorry for Kory having to give his horse the last act of kindness.. I also understand Tawnee's position because last September I made that decision for my last cat..Rufus was 15 years old and had heart disease, the medication to control the amount of fluid in the chest wasn't working and his breathing was bad..the vet said I could bring him home and keep an eye on him..but this was a Thursday what happened if he took a turn for the worst at the weekend and I had to rush him to the emergency vet..all that stress for him ..no..so I made that decision then because it was the best thing for him..thinking of you both
I hear you. I had 2 cats for 18 years and when the vet told us when it was each one's time for them to go, they said we could take them home to spend one last night with them. But besides not wanting them to endure any longer if they were suffering, I knew how they were terrified of the car ride so I didn't even want to put them through that one more time and had them go ahead and give the last act of kindness on the spot. But it is hard with animals since they can't tell us how they feel. Like in my case one cat was obvious because he had kidney failure but the other cat didn't show any signs of pain or any medical issues, she just became really clingy. The vet thought we should let her go and we didn't want to see her, like Tawnee said, deteriorating and/or having a major medical complication and really suffering a few months down the road.
So very sorry for your loss 😢 I went through something almost the same, except that the fluid on the lungs moved and my cat died a horrible death on the way to the vets. I wished the vet hadn't sent me home the first time 😣
@@charlotterockel-kennedy8913 Oh Charlotte no..how awful for you to have to see your fur baby in such distress.. seeing what happened to you makes me realise that I did make the right decision..but your vet was wrong ..they should have advised you about what could happen.. my Rufus looked at me and I could see he had had enough.. I did feel I was taking his life too early but it was the right thing to do for HIM in hindsight..but next time Charlotte you will know when to make that decision and not be swayed by the vet.. seeing these poor horses gets me so angry..these owners want their last dollar from them rather than pay for a vet to put them out of their misery..I'm so sorry for your loss and for you having to see your furry in such distress..we live and learn..thank you so much for your kind words..I'm 63 and have decided not to get another cat..I can't get a dog as my mobility issues stop me from walking it and ive lostb4 cats in 2 yrs..all late teens in age and to illnesses..but Rufus hit me hard..I rescued him from a terrible situation when he was about 1 yr old..he was such a softie for a boy..he was a lovely ginger boy..it really knocked me for 6..as he only was diagnosed with this 3. Months before he passed..I have all my babies ashes in little urns with their names on them..people might think thats weird but I wanted them back home with me..take care .and think of the many wonderful memories you have from your life with your fur baby..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🐾🐾🐈👍
@@kimmarievan-ever6599 thank you for your kind words. I have sadly experienced a lot of sad things with cats and have decided not to get another one 😪 I have 2 retired greyhounds and 2 Irish Cobs, both now 27. I live only for my pets and do absolutly everything for them. It breaks my heart seeing so many horses where the owners have neglected them and I will never understand how people can be so heartless. I am 56 and my animals keep me fit, mentally and physically and I still ride a lot of friends horses because I have a light hand and can connect to animals in a different way than most people. I had a greyhound called Rufus, that's such a cool and unique name 😍❤wishing you all the best and take care too xxx
@@charlotterockel-kennedy8913 kindred spirits Charlotte..what is the likelihood of us both having pets called Rufus..its not a common name so thats just spooky..in a good way..I used to foster neglected and abused cats and rehabilitate them so they can find their furever homes..so I too have witnessed humans cruelty first hand..the physical problems are always easier to get better..it was just a case of being patient with them and do it at their pace no matter how slow..some responded quicker than others..but I'm proud to say I never had a failure..they sll found great homes..one took 8 months before he would let me touch him..he wasn't feral..just absolutely petrified everytime he saw a hand or foot..that tells you everything but I'd say he was my biggest success because of that..once he trusted me he became an absolute fuss monster. .absolutely loved a cuddle..he is now with a retired couple in the country and his dad hold him in his arms like a baby and tickles his tummy..worth every bite and scratch..which of course they do as its their only defence..people's mistake is to pull your hand away..one..thats how you get the tears in your skin through claws and teeth but also the quick movement makes them think they're going to be hit again..just leave your hand there and they will let go and just gently say no. It works every time..used to be in a group of people who rescued and rehabed..but just too much with my medical issues now.. it is rewarding but damn it makes you bloody angry..take care of yourself snd your lovely furries..god bless. .🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🐾🐾🐈🐕🐎👍
What a fantastic donation of the lady's horse trailer and all its contents to Horse Plus. I feel for her having to surrender her horses but only she knows the reason why, but they are in the best place possible in the world. Congratulations Dr. Nancy adopting her Ginger. I saw a unique shoe from Idaho Horsemanship for a horse with a club foot, maybe Elijah or yourself could contact them and find out about it. Oh, Kory, I feel your pain regarding Ace and saying goodbye. You did the right thing. He looked fantastic. It's the hardest thing we do as animal lovers and owners. I believe the horses you save at the auction have a reason to be saved by you. You love on them, give them time to feel so much better at the end of their lives, then if you have to give them the gift of a humane passing you do. Thank you. If only there were more knowledgeable owners doing the right thing we wouldn't see these horses at auctions.
Absolutely amazing episode again! I am so happy for Ginger and Joey, they couldn’t have it any better! And I am happy you got a trailer and other stuff donated with the four surrenders. I do hope we learn more from them!
Love the Standardbred..I have a soft spot for them..the whip marks could be from racing or if used as an Amish buggy horse..without his history I would guess racing..so sorry Kory for your loss..been there many times..after my last one in 2015 I am still unable to come to terms with it..Dr Nancy you are the greatest..please bring Bob out into the sunlight ..he's awful pale..Tawnee my 17-19yo chihuahua is also going downhill but not there yet..have already discussed with her vet and she is being monitored..still full of love and life..I rescued her 4 years ago when she had been living on the street for who knows how long..she has been living the life of royalty because that is what all creatures deserve
Great episode. Such a great team you have there at the moment and a good atmosphere between the staff. Excellent explanation from Dr Nancy and Tawnee regarding purchasing horses from auction whatever their condition. I totally support all you do. Thank you!
God bless all of you to be there for these horses You have had a lot of tuff decisions on this lot. So nice they had a couple of days to smell the “ roses”. And Cory my heart goes out to you. I’ve been there as a pet owner and it’s hard but when life stop being pain free there is only one thing to do. ❤❤❤
High again Restores one's faith in humanity when someone donates such generous gifts funds and horses. Caring and kind is how owners should be always so such unbelievable abuse neglect and suffering would never take place. Thx as always to you all for all the TLC you give. Soo sorry for your loss Kory but you chose the best thing for your mustang.
I can't imagine someone hitting a horse hard enough to create so many whip marks. I hope that person never becomes a parent. But I know now the horse will get the love and care that it needs at HPHS. Otherwise this has been an entertaining episode.
Hey Korey. I am sorry about your Mustang 🐎 Ace. You definitely gave Ace beautiful and awesome home 🏡. To live as a paster pet. My deepest condolences 🙏😔 to you Korey. My thoughts . And prayers 🙏 gos to you as well. All my 💕🥰🥰❤️ to all.
This was an awesome video today! Ginger, Joy and Dr. Nancy….what a great combo. Kory, I’m so sorry for you with Ace, but knowing his best life with you is comforting. The black Standardbred is beautiful…so proud, so dignified and so deserving of a good home. I hope he learns to trust again and he will make a wonderful horse! The woman at the end of the video…wow! Thank you for being so generous and mindful of the needs at HorsePlus. It truly is heartwarming to see the compassion in this world so full of negativity. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤❤❤
Thanks for showing us the reality of your work. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 It’s great to hear about people who care about their horses so much that they bring them to you… and leave all their equipment, food and a donation to support them and other animals. That is a wonderful person. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So sorry Kory ,
From Australia I'm surprised that the Amish don't treat their horses with more care as they give so much to their owners
There are a lot of different types of Amish in the religion beliefs, I am saying that up front.
There’s several who believe that animals don’t have a soul therefore don’t feel pain. They treat their animals horrendously, including horses and puppy mills.
They coincider them beasts of burdens. And use all animals as such. Not all amish just some.
They use whips on each other....club their horses....think they are above the law
They run them into the dirt, then sell them for meat.
To be fair, I am sure there are some Amish to treat their animals well. We only see the evidence of the ones who don't.
Omg Dr Nancy adopting Ginger and Joy🥹🥹🤭🤭 my heart🩷🩷
I forget Joy's story...do you know it?
But like you said doctor Nancy they didn't ship they're out on pasture they're enjoying their life, and they are feeling love for their last days?

It hurts my heart to think an owner would rather send their faithful broken horse to an auction, instead of doing the right thing by the animal & giving it the last act of kindness, it’s like they’d rather have the money, I don’t know how the owners can sleep at night, knowing what horrors await their horse at those awful slaughter houses. Thank you HPHS for everything you do xx
Can the Standardbred Retirement Foundation in NJ take that poor abused guy? I've fostered and adopted from them. They do that and some live out their lives with them. That guy needs a soft place to land and to be guaranteed to be safe.
I heard Mathew Mcconaughey was in Nashville recently!!!
Three cheers for Matthew McConaughey. WOW!
Wow and that horse trailer will help you rescue more horses. That was really awesome of them to give you the horses the cats and the trailer.
Cats? 🤷♀️
@@homeandgardendiy6363 I thought you also got cats. Maybe I was mistaken.
@@cynthiamcgee4829 Actually, I think the light bulb just turned on in my brain. Did you by any chance voice text your comment? I think maybe it put "cats" instead of "tack". Is that maybe what happened?
@@homeandgardendiy6363 Maybe
I so wish I could get the race horse. Years ago I worked with a pacer of the track. He was the sweetest thing. And he worked so hard to learn the canter. His Name was Windchester. I'll never forget him. Who ever owned the horse you have should be charged with abuse. Paperwork should show who it is and they should be exposed. Or don't these horses have paperwork I don't know. His tattoo could trace to them.
AMAZING DONATION. THANK YOU TO WHOEVER PROVIDED IT! Be Well!
I also have a 16 year old standardbred! She is an angel! Thank you for loving him!
Thank you for explaining how hard it is to decide on quality of life.
Wow....what an amazing video! Congratulations to Dr. Nancy on her adopting her "Darlin' Ginger! Seeing true animal ownership and the responsibilites it entails is so important. So sorry Kory had to say goodbye to Ace....such a very difficult thing to do. The older horses experience true care and attention while evaluations take place...can not ask for more than that. Horse Plus is a leader in the struggle to keep unwanted animals out of slaughterhouses. As people learn about what you do you will get even more support...and helping other Shelters become Full Circle of Life is definitely a great thing!
Thank you for being the Humaine, in HUMAN.... if only all would be so kind and responsible....
A huge THANK YOU to the people who donated that beautiful trailer and all of the other things!!! I am so very sorry that you had to give up your horses, just know that they will be well looked after. That with the addition of another trailer, they will have more room to be able to help more horses whenever you get to feeling sad. You have done outstanding work in helping horses!!! Be Blessed, always.
This was such a an emotional roller coaster!
Thrilling that Dr Nancy will be mom to Ginger Darlin' and her friend. She'd be a fantastic owner for any animal, but Ginger may have extra needs, and no one could be better prepared to help her. HPHS struck gold when they found Dr Nancy.
(Now y'all need to get her a dog for the office, and name him Matthew M!)
Kory, I'm very sorry you had to lose Ace so soon. Just watching him soak up the loving and treats from the staff, it was easy to see he was a special boy. Thank you for giving him such a good life. I hope your next mustang comes along soon.
The whip scars on the buggy horse took me back to reading Black Beauty as a child. Even then, I couldn't imagine why anyone would mistreat these wonderful animals. I'm sure he, like the horses spending their last days in a sunlit pasture, feels like he's found heaven. May he have plenty of time to enjoy it!
Thanks to Tawnee, Jason, and everyone else there for all your hard work and compassion.
Wow she can buck
She is cute
Wow, so wonderful. Beautiful horses. The generosity of people knows no bounds
Great show! I'm so happy that someone found it in their heart to donate a trailer and tack.
Cory you are so right about getting him handled while he is young. My babies were started from the minute they were born, but then I had very wonderful moms that had no problems with me handling their babies.
Last week I had to have my sweet horse put down. She was 35 but her heart was starting to give her trouble. Such a very hard thing to do but the right thing.
My girl is 35. She's started a pretty dramatic weight loss. I think I may be right there with you by fall, if not sooner. It's rough, she's my last of 10. Sorry about your girl.
Loved Candy showing off her baby! ❤
So very many ups and downs in this video, but that's how rescue goes, right? Love the trailer that was donated and thank you to those who gave from their hearts to Horse Plus!
My friend has horse with melanoma, vet said euthanasia was best. After second opinion & 4 years later, horse is alive & doing well after treatment!!
That would have been in interesting if short ride on Shelia I expect. She was doing some impressive bucking and jumping. I know you do all you can to give a chance to the horses you rescue. At least they get some time to be horses as much as they can be and get to hopefully see that not all people are horrible. That poor horse with the whip scars. Whoever did that deserves to be tied to a post and take just as many lashes themselves. If they were still alive at the end, turn them loose in the street with no treatment offered. There is no excuse for torturing an animal. Condolences to Kory. He had a great life with a great person. It doesn't matter what species of pet, if you do it right, they give so many wonderful days, but ultimately a very sad but important one that you have to get right and don't get to duck out on.
Whipping humans would not justify whipping horses. Two wrongs never make a right. Horse Plus focuses on helping the animals, not whipping the former owners. Horse Plus focuses on the right actions, not repeating wrongs done.
This video shows just what hard work it takes to do a good job! Also that good systems and good team members are the key to running a great operation.
You know what they say "Elvis the Pelvis"
It's so nice to see the kind interactions especially after some have been beaten and shown utter cruelty. You guys are so strong and so kind, thankyou for being here.
Who could whip a horse? Gave him scars! :( I wish I could love on him and show him its gonna be okay.
How many pens do you have room for in your hair DR Nancy :D
I'm glad you explained the reasons for rescue and the difficulty with ending their misery. my hats off yo you guys
Sorry for your loss Corey. He looks like he had an amazing life and is such a beautyfull mustang.
😢this is so sad and your right it’s hard to even understand why , but please Dont let them suffer🙏🏻🙏🏻💖❤️🩹🥰🫶
Those whip marks ... how can anyone do that to such a beautiful creature. Amazing work, ty for the video
Congrats Dr Nancy , and im so sorry kory about ace
😢❤ 🐎 What a generous family.
Thank you for sharing!
Felt so sorry for Kory having to give his horse the last act of kindness.. I also understand Tawnee's position because last September I made that decision for my last cat..Rufus was 15 years old and had heart disease, the medication to control the amount of fluid in the chest wasn't working and his breathing was bad..the vet said I could bring him home and keep an eye on him..but this was a Thursday what happened if he took a turn for the worst at the weekend and I had to rush him to the emergency vet..all that stress for him ..no..so I made that decision then because it was the best thing for him..thinking of you both
I hear you. I had 2 cats for 18 years and when the vet told us when it was each one's time for them to go, they said we could take them home to spend one last night with them. But besides not wanting them to endure any longer if they were suffering, I knew how they were terrified of the car ride so I didn't even want to put them through that one more time and had them go ahead and give the last act of kindness on the spot. But it is hard with animals since they can't tell us how they feel. Like in my case one cat was obvious because he had kidney failure but the other cat didn't show any signs of pain or any medical issues, she just became really clingy. The vet thought we should let her go and we didn't want to see her, like Tawnee said, deteriorating and/or having a major medical complication and really suffering a few months down the road.
So very sorry for your loss 😢 I went through something almost the same, except that the fluid on the lungs moved and my cat died a horrible death on the way to the vets. I wished the vet hadn't sent me home the first time 😣
@@charlotterockel-kennedy8913 Oh Charlotte no..how awful for you to have to see your fur baby in such distress.. seeing what happened to you makes me realise that I did make the right decision..but your vet was wrong ..they should have advised you about what could happen.. my Rufus looked at me and I could see he had had enough.. I did feel I was taking his life too early but it was the right thing to do for HIM in hindsight..but next time Charlotte you will know when to make that decision and not be swayed by the vet.. seeing these poor horses gets me so angry..these owners want their last dollar from them rather than pay for a vet to put them out of their misery..I'm so sorry for your loss and for you having to see your furry in such distress..we live and learn..thank you so much for your kind words..I'm 63 and have decided not to get another cat..I can't get a dog as my mobility issues stop me from walking it and ive lostb4 cats in 2 yrs..all late teens in age and to illnesses..but Rufus hit me hard..I rescued him from a terrible situation when he was about 1 yr old..he was such a softie for a boy..he was a lovely ginger boy..it really knocked me for 6..as he only was diagnosed with this 3. Months before he passed..I have all my babies ashes in little urns with their names on them..people might think thats weird but I wanted them back home with me..take care
.and think of the many wonderful memories you have from your life with your fur baby..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🐾🐾🐈👍
@@kimmarievan-ever6599 thank you for your kind words. I have sadly experienced a lot of sad things with cats and have decided not to get another one 😪 I have 2 retired greyhounds and 2 Irish Cobs, both now 27. I live only for my pets and do absolutly everything for them. It breaks my heart seeing so many horses where the owners have neglected them and I will never understand how people can be so heartless. I am 56 and my animals keep me fit, mentally and physically and I still ride a lot of friends horses because I have a light hand and can connect to animals in a different way than most people. I had a greyhound called Rufus, that's such a cool and unique name 😍❤wishing you all the best and take care too xxx
@@charlotterockel-kennedy8913 kindred spirits Charlotte..what is the likelihood of us both having pets called Rufus..its not a common name so thats just spooky..in a good way..I used to foster neglected and abused cats and rehabilitate them so they can find their furever homes..so I too have witnessed humans cruelty first hand..the physical problems are always easier to get better..it was just a case of being patient with them and do it at their pace no matter how slow..some responded quicker than others..but I'm proud to say I never had a failure..they sll found great homes..one took 8 months before he would let me touch him..he wasn't feral..just absolutely petrified everytime he saw a hand or foot..that tells you everything but I'd say he was my biggest success because of that..once he trusted me he became an absolute fuss monster. .absolutely loved a cuddle..he is now with a retired couple in the country and his dad hold him in his arms like a baby and tickles his tummy..worth every bite and scratch..which of course they do as its their only defence..people's mistake is to pull your hand away..one..thats how you get the tears in your skin through claws and teeth but also the quick movement makes them think they're going to be hit again..just leave your hand there and they will let go and just gently say no. It works every time..used to be in a group of people who rescued and rehabed..but just too much with my medical issues now.. it is rewarding but damn it makes you bloody angry..take care of yourself snd your lovely furries..god bless. .🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🐾🐾🐈🐕🐎👍
I always check to see how many pens Dr. Nancy has stuck in her hair.....good indication of how stressful the day has been!
Very sorry kory about your beautiful boy 🐎 😢
What a fantastic donation of the lady's horse trailer and all its contents to Horse Plus. I feel for her having to surrender her horses but only she knows the reason why, but they are in the best place possible in the world. Congratulations Dr. Nancy adopting her Ginger. I saw a unique shoe from Idaho Horsemanship for a horse with a club foot, maybe Elijah or yourself could contact them and find out about it. Oh, Kory, I feel your pain regarding Ace and saying goodbye. You did the right thing. He looked fantastic. It's the hardest thing we do as animal lovers and owners. I believe the horses you save at the auction have a reason to be saved by you. You love on them, give them time to feel so much better at the end of their lives, then if you have to give them the gift of a humane passing you do. Thank you. If only there were more knowledgeable owners doing the right thing we wouldn't see these horses at auctions.
100% agree with you
That is an AWESOME donation!!!! It must have been a very difficult decision to give up their babies.
They are the star of today
You are all wonderful not letting these beautiful animals suffer. You never like to say good bye. Keep the good work.💕🐴💕
And a flying change!
I saw that too! 👏🏻❤️😜
Absolutely amazing episode again! I am so happy for Ginger and Joey, they couldn’t have it any better! And I am happy you got a trailer and other stuff donated with the four surrenders. I do hope we learn more from them!
Thank you so much for what you do for these precious babies!!!
Bob looked really pleased with himself because he found something that had been lost!
❤thank you all at HP you are wonderful people. I pray Mathew M. Visits Hp and Dr. NANCY gets to talk with him. I hope she never leave your facility.
Love the Standardbred..I have a soft spot for them..the whip marks could be from racing or if used as an Amish buggy horse..without his history I would guess racing..so sorry Kory for your loss..been there many times..after my last one in 2015 I am still unable to come to terms with it..Dr Nancy you are the greatest..please bring Bob out into the sunlight ..he's awful pale..Tawnee my 17-19yo chihuahua is also going downhill but not there yet..have already discussed with her vet and she is being monitored..still full of love and life..I rescued her 4 years ago when she had been living on the street for who knows how long..she has been living the life of royalty because that is what all creatures deserve
No, those are buggy whip marks.
@@Terry-lh8cn In standardbred racing they are also attached to carts
It's never a waste to be kind.
I love everything y'all do
Great episode. Such a great team you have there at the moment and a good atmosphere between the staff. Excellent explanation from Dr Nancy and Tawnee regarding purchasing horses from auction whatever their condition. I totally support all you do. Thank you!
Loved this episode, so many ups and downs, but glad to see you guys get to also have a few laughs with different things 😂 ❤❤❤
We gotta see pix in a year of those two darlings! Blessings!
I’m so happy for Dr. Nancy but heartbroken myself over Ginger!
Dr. Nancy congratulations on Ginger and Joy!! They are going to get all the love and care they deserve from you. ♥️🐴😊
God bless all of you to be there for these horses You have had a lot of tuff decisions on this lot. So nice they had a couple of days to smell the “ roses”.
And Cory my heart goes out to you. I’ve been there as a pet owner and it’s hard but when life stop being pain free there is only one thing to do. ❤❤❤
High again
Restores one's faith in humanity when someone donates such generous gifts funds and horses. Caring and kind is how owners should be always so such unbelievable abuse neglect and suffering would never take place.
Thx as always to you all for all the TLC you give.
Soo sorry for your loss Kory but you chose the best thing for your mustang.
I can't imagine someone hitting a horse hard enough to create so many whip marks. I hope that person never becomes a parent. But I know now the horse will get the love and care that it needs at HPHS. Otherwise this has been an entertaining episode.
Hey Korey. I am sorry about your Mustang 🐎 Ace. You definitely gave Ace beautiful and awesome home 🏡. To live as a paster pet. My deepest condolences 🙏😔 to you Korey. My thoughts . And prayers 🙏 gos to you as well. All my 💕🥰🥰❤️ to all.
Gracias a Dios 🙏 por ayudar a los animalitos ❤
Everything diserves kindness🐺❤️
This was an awesome video today! Ginger, Joy and Dr. Nancy….what a great combo. Kory, I’m so sorry for you with Ace, but knowing his best life with you is comforting. The black Standardbred is beautiful…so proud, so dignified and so deserving of a good home. I hope he learns to trust again and he will make a wonderful horse! The woman at the end of the video…wow! Thank you for being so generous and mindful of the needs at HorsePlus. It truly is heartwarming to see the compassion in this world so full of negativity. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤❤❤
Thanks for showing us the reality of your work. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It’s great to hear about people who care about their horses so much that they bring them to you… and leave all their equipment, food and a donation to support them and other animals. That is a wonderful person. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Dr. Nancy glad you tie off on the donkeys have heard of too many that bled to death.
