Horse Plus Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization & has been rescuing horses since 2003, tax ID #20-1156396.
PREVENTING ANIMAL CRUELTY AND TORTURE ACT (PACT) signed into law November 25th 2019. This important legislation criminalized the acts of animals being crushed, burned, drowned, suffocated, impaled, or SUBJECTED TO OTHER FORMS OF CRUELTY.
This is a real law, friends, more people than just rescuers need to keep bringing this to light. When these horses are brought into the auction in such horrendous conditions, Rain Rot, broken bones, starvation, emaciation, Strangles, arthritis so bad that they can't hardly walk, Lameness, you name it. When those horses are brought into the auction, sellers have to give their names and addresses. They need to be turned in to law enforcement, many of these acts of abuse is a Felony in all 50 states.
Thank you Horse Plus for the wonderful work you do to rescue the voiceless who can't help themselves. They are victims at the hands of mankind.
Dying comfortably while surrounded by kind people, I wish we all could be so fortunate. The horses who must be euthenized, well, I am glad they are in your hands.
The last shots of the horses eating made me think to myself that I would like to see more of their lives after the auction after intake. We normally don't get to see much until adoption becomes available. I would like to see more of the middle. Like temperaments and feeding. How you deal with an animal that was starving to now when they might over eat and do harm. Vet check ups later. First groomings and such. I am interested in their progression.
I rescued five horses at one time that were starving and being left for dead. Nursing them back to health was a long journey. Reintroducing them into food took time and they had to be watched so they wouldn’t colic. Then skin/hair care I would wash with Dawn dish soap because it doesn’t irritate the skin and helps with rain rot quickly and safely. They were in rehabilitation for months after that and lived ling happy and healthy lives. They all could be ridden just fine and instantly knew from day one that I was there to help them.
Follow my page if you want to see Clover’s story unfold
If they show them eating out of a bucket there is no after because I don't know about you but I don't want to see them euthanized too sad not that I'm blaming them for crappy previous owners
I so agree!! Once in a while we get to see some training/ riding in the ring, but not enough of it.
I agree.🥰😇😊🐎
It’s all so heart breaking but the older ones just hit me harder. My lad is 23 and the idea of him been in this situation is horrible. He is with me the rest of his life.
People who let animals suffer should be arrested so cruel,
You are doing a great job
YOU CALL YOURSELVES "HEROES" EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE ANGELS ON EARTH FOR THESE PRECIOUS BEASTS!
HOW DARE ANYONE ALLOW ANY ANIMAL SUFFER EVEN FOR ONE MINUTE!!!
HORSE SHELTER HEROES: BLESS YOU 🙏
Bless You ALL for what you do for these beautiful creatures who have been so abused...
Including those poor horses who are suffering so much... The fact, that they may experience a few moments of peace, and no pain, prior to departing this realm, instead of horror and being terrified up to the last second.... well, words are not enough to explain my respect for your Humanity.
Thank you for having the courage to do the thing that their neglective owners did not, love them and let them cross the rainbow bridge. Animals don't deserve to live with the pain especially when they give you unconditional love. I hate people who take advantage of this and can't do the right thing by them and love them back enough to take care of them and do the right thing by them when necessary.
I hate seeing these horses with horrible injuries that they have had to live with excruciating pain for who knows how long,Thankyou so much for having the courage to do the right thing for them despite criticism from ignorant people ❤️❤️❤️
When you are loading the horses and you could see how skinny they were my heart was just sinking I am so glad that they have a second chance
Totally agree. It is never easy to say good, but it is the only option to relieve such horrible suffering.
Loved the laughing horse. You guys are so kind in rescuing horses which will receive the last act of kindness. The first act of kindness was getting rescued by Horse Plus.
I am a new donor I wish I could give more. I am so glad I found you I wish I was still riding I am a retired senior lady. I also wish I had of known about your organization when I was riding. I live you guys so much! Thank you for taking the horses that are Injured and giving them the last act of kindness thank you all of you thank you!
Absolute shame on the people who allow their animals to suffer like this its so awful. I despair at the lack of humanity in human beings these days. I so love what you do despite the fact im usually bawling through it all but you give them the dignity and love they so deserve to the end. Thank you x
I can’t believe some people get mad about you guys humanely euthanizing the horses that seriously can’t be saved. You guys do so much for animals that you have never even met and spend thousands of dollars on them just to give them a better life or better hour of life they deserve. 💕
I think some people don't realize the horrific experiences those horses would encounter prior to being slaughtered. Even if they're not "saved", they are relieved of so, so much suffering.
Common sense isn't that common.
It's sadly common nowdays to "save" every animal, no matter how much pain they are just fill them with meds and they can be seemingly healthy for not trained eye. A lot of people think pain meds will take any nerve pain etc. away but thats far from truth.
I agree, There's a huge difference between a kill shelter (who puts down animals because they have behavioral issues they don't have the staff nor the funding to take the time to help), and not letting an animal suffer when there is nothing that could be done. They really do correct small problems that can be helped with a good farrier, but sometimes the damage is just too much too late.
you are doing what the owners SHOULD have done themselves!
For me, their greatest work is that they take the infirm and have them checked thoroughly for rehab. And if rehab is NOT an option, they don't mess around, they give the poor one lots of love, a wonderful feed, then put them to sleep and out of the misery their life has been and would have continued to be.
You will always have my prayers for your staff and horses that you care for. I believe we as humans were created to help and take care of what creatures (no matter what size or what they look like) are on on the Earth. I hope that you will be continually blessed by God and the work that you do is amazing and makes such a difference for the world we live in.
May God bless you and everything you do,
Rebekah
Thank you for having a heart for all these babies. Just love all of you and appreciate your devotion to those that don’t have a voice.
IT IS SHOWN EVERY RESCUE, THAT TAWNIE AND ALL INVOLVED WITH HORSE PLUS HUMANE DO THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT THING FOR THESE INNOCENT HORSES. YOU RENEW MY FAITH IN HUMANITY WITH EVERY VIDEO!!!
I helped rescue these horses!! (Via donation). Makes me happy. Thank you for everything!!!❣❣
The last act of kindness and humanity you allow these poor souls at the end of their painful lives is much better than the brutal trip that awaited them.
Thank you for doing what these previous owners would not do. I cried for these horse. I know they are no longer it pain. Thank you again for doing what is right bye them. Hugs from Oklahoma
These horses are so relieved when they see a nice padlock and not a slaughter house..good work to all the people at Horse Heroes ❣️❤️👍🏻
it is always great when a college does studies that will help animals in need!
The braying donkey made my day...He says, don't leave me please!! Love what your doing!
Thank you for creating these videos. I learn so much about your work and the plight of horses in this country. I never knew 😥. I am also grateful that you do the most humane thing for terminal horses. And care & healing for adoptable horses. I hope this country takes hold of your program for horse rescue and care as a national policy. ❤️❤️❤️
I myself had lost multiple loved pets and horse who had to make the journey to God and it made me sad but beacuse I never had a chance to say goodbye to them personally i have dreams where my loved pet comes to me and i would hug them and cry and finally say Goodbye and see you again the animal than dissapears and i never see them again in my dreams same with my aunt Janet that passed away from cancer. I still miss her and my loved pets and horses that made their journey across the rainbow bridge
Oh im happy these horses were saved by your organization ,it kills me to see the neglect that they suffered.i love Doc,and how good You all are with the animals from lizards turtles to sheep etc all the way to big horses lol.
Heartbreaking
to
Heartwarming!
But wondering how some of the owners must treat their children after seeing the condition of their horses!
God please help and protect them!!!
Thank you for all that you do to give the horses the gift of second chances...
You guys are being very thorough and realistic about the conditions of the horses. Hard decisions can easily be the right ones, but not everyone understands that and they end up being selfish instead of doing what is best for the animal. It takes kindness and education to evaluate well. You do a great job at that.
That's so interesting that you put it that way. I have a harsher way of thinking about the people who become selfish and do nothing about the situation with the horse. They are being extremely selfish, running away from their problems and dealing with the emotions of putting a horse down. When your veterinarian does the procedure, you don't even have to be there to see it happen, as long as he knows what horse and where you put him. Maybe under the big oak tree where they stood in the shade. Perhaps a corner of the pasture, or a sunny spot where you and your horse used to go to hang out. Someone who can have a grave dug deeply enough can bury the horse. All you need to do is bring your horse to the spot, wait until he's given the heavy tranquilizer to lay him down. And then leave. Or, you might even have found a new strength that you never knew you had and decide that it really isn't so bad when they pass. Quietly, peacefully, with no fear. Finally, they have peace.
I agree wholeheartedly with you. No one understands that if you think about it if they are suffering let them go. People don't like to suffer even with medical care an animal is feeling twice as worse without it. Be kind to your babies if they are suffering, yeah you miss them but they will be put of pain and happier once they cross the rainbow bridge.
Makes me sick seeing how bad people let these animals get and then take them to auction to make money on them. These poor creatures. God bless you guys for what you do.
Even after all they have suffered the horses are still willing to be led although it obviously causes some of them great pain.Their trust is heartbreaking.
Some people should not own, train, or be around any animals!! God bless y’all
I get so very sad when you have to put some of these horses down. Thank God for your rescue.
You guys are a blessing to all these animals. Prayers for all of you. Wish I had a million dollars to give to you all.
The paint was so beautiful. I can imagine what she looked like when she was young and cared for. I bet she was a stunner. Such a shame she was left in that condition.
Heartbreaking! These fur babies deserve the best! Bless all of you! Curly lip is so sweet! I love all of them!💖🙏🏼🦋
After watching many of these videos, I can't believe the owners of these horses that are so medically disabled are not arrested for animal abuse. They should be charged with crimes. I could never let any animal of mine suffer like these.
THANKYOU so much for the kindness and empathy you give to these horses, donkey and mules, (and any other critter)... That last act of kindness is the absolute best thing you can do for some. 💜💙🦄💔❤️💚🇦🇺
Very sad when they need to be put down. I totally understand why. Thank you for your love and caring for these very special babies. ♡♡♡
I donate every time they go to auction. Encouraging people to donate whatever they can and get on their email list.
@Franklin Williamson, me too!!
Why was the horse laughing because you kind people saved his life!
He was doing that because of the paste they gave him tasted funny. A lot of horses lift their lip up like that when something tastes weird to them. He was not laughing at them. But it did look like she was laughing. It looks very funny when they do that. LOL
I wish there were leg prosthetics for horses with leg issues. It would save so many of them!
You are winning the battle!...please do not stop, you are all doing so much good. Bless you all!
It it's like therapy for me just watching your videos. I can't imagine if i was able to be at your place to brush feed or anything with these precious horses!
People who give up their horses like that, or pets in general, shouldn't be allowed to own animals ever again.
I sadly can't donate anything since I'm a minor and we ourselves need the money.
I love what you guys do, it's amazing!
The more I watch your videos the more this becomes my 'dreamjob'. Saving animals who need to be saved and finding a loving forever home for them.
Beautiful comment...and remember you are helping them by watching there CZcams videos....I pray God Blesses your dream to save animals from abused situations.
PeaceAndLove
Lori
Love that attitude, keep it up.
Tawnie and Jason you have done a great job with your own business and with mentoring Cindy and Nate to become successful and all of the people and organizations that helped you all achieve the dream of ending horse slaughter in your area. Now to mentor others so they can achieve the same dream throughout America. You can do it. Keep looking up 🌹you are rocking it!
I cry everytime I watch these. I can't even watch the entire video at one time. It just makes me so sad to see the condition of these horses. I will never understand how humans can turn a blind eye to their suffering.
I totally understand and agree with the last act of kindness for the horses that have been so unfortunate to have belonged to humans didn’t do what was necessary for these beautiful, sentinent animals. They are lucky to have been rescued from slaughter and the horrors that brings. My only thought is…..isn’t it possible to give them maybe a couple of days of love, sunshine and good food before they are euthanized? It’s such a short time from the auction , then the transfer “home” and right to the exam.. on to a bucket of grain and some hugs … just hours really…..hardly enough time for them to really remember the kindnesses. Please realize Tawnee, I am not criticizing and I love you and your team for what you do ….and how much care and the respect you show to your rescues…I just would like to see them happy and living the good life for a couple of days before their death.
they seem happier the minute they arrive to your care
You all are so amazing!! I never knew how much goes into saving horses before seeing your videos. Thank you for loving and caring for horses in desperate need. I truly admire your dedication and hard work 🐎🌞🥰🐴😇🙏🦋❤
Thank you for giving every horse a chance and a voice. Every life is precious so it is wonderful to see your loving care toward these beautiful souls.
I see my girl! So glad they saved her! She’s the best thing ever! 🍀🐴🍀
So many of the people I rode with as a kid would just sell off their horse as they outgrew them - without a care for where it would end up as it aged. It always angered me. My boy was with me til he was an old man, then to my uncles to be a pasture ornament with 2 retired police horses where he died naturally. I couldnt have it any other way for my horse who was not only my servant, but my BEST friend.
Thank you for what y'all do. Such a loving thing....such a great example to others. May God Bless you !
Horse Plus you guys are the real heroes thank you for doing what you do by rescuing all these sweet animals!
Thankyou for going to the auctions and saving so many horses. We have horses and love them so much that it's so hard to think that people would be so cruel to let a horse live in such pain and then sell it for peanuts to be slaughtered. I know that you feel so bad for every horse that has to be put down.
Thank you for doing the last act of kindness. Those decisions are logical but difficult.
Indeed they are, the necessary evil that comes when they bring them home. But I just can't imagine how much more suffering they would have had to endure going to another auction or off to slaughter. I don't know about anyone else, but it gives me a sense of peace knowing that eventhough they are no longer with us, they also aren't suffering anymore.
I would love to rescue/adopt a horse one day!
Can we have an update on the big Draft horse with the bad hoofs? I fell in love with him!
Is that the one they named Tiny that they have up for adoption now? Go to their website and go to adoptions and you should still see him.
i just got my first horse she was from a kill pin she is a very pretty white and my sister got her first horse to he is a seal brown he is a bit more calm he has a halter on my but my horse is going into training soon she was halter broke at once now she is just a scared horse but we love them so much
You guys are my Real Life Heros.. Tawny your loving kind spirit is always be one step ahead of everybody else...
And your husband is getting better and better and what a Sweetheart!!Excellent match. Thank you for all you do!
Thank God People like you exist!!! ❤️🐎
God Bless You Guys 🤗🥰🙏😇
You guys do a wonderful job. You give them love and care as their last memories. God love you
I'm serious. I really want to see a follow up with these half starved horses.
I am across the pacific and I yearn to see the after condition even them settling in for the night scenes I’m like nooo don’t cut now😞😍
They’re in a research project at UT Knoxville, I’m sure this won’t be the last we see of them!
@@joanneturnbull5640 I know they are super busy- we have just 3 horses and to do it right, it takes a lot of time daily so I understand but i'm with you-- i wish there was a followup story with every save!!!
Also, check their website as most horses that do survive quarantine when their are put up for adoption their photos, names and other information is on there for you to view. Those at don’t, obviously won’t be there or could be transfers. Would be interested in to know how many they have given the last act of kindness.

If you get a horse with a crooked leg it can be fixed with special surgery i had to take a foal with a crooked leg to a vet amd they did surgery and they straightened the leg back but she couldn't be ridden but she is happy at her new home and making kids happy beacuse they have a horse to love and care for
Bless your hearts! May you both and your entire staff with your great vet continue your great loving work for all equine. Thank you all.
I am so happy you guys save these animals! No matter what condition or health!! I am also happy that you give them the last act of kindness if needed. You guys are amazing!! :)
God bless y'all ❤️🐎 y'all are all Angels . Just amazing what y'all do.
R.I.P. 2 all the precious horses who had to cross the Rainbow Bridge cos of previous owners who didnt do what they should have dun in the 1st place .

Lol lord help you
@@topperhatschire ok karen.
@@david_fl507 I love when boomers use terms they don't understand. Just like how you don't understand science. Good luck to you
@@topperhatschire science has been twisted, re-written, and dumbed-down by fauci and the political elite, so people like you can keep up. you are on the wrong side of good. critical thinking is a wonderful thing, and that you buy into the BS speaks volumes about your character, your (lack of) intelligence, and the evil that lives within you. i have Jesus on my side.
@@david_fl507 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations on 70.000 subscribers! I really hope you hit the 100 soon.
Thank you so much!
The horses that are being put down are enjoying that grain...nice treat before they head over the Rainbow Bridge. I love the donkeys
It’s so sad to see what some horses have to go through. Thank you for doing what you’ll do.
Stay safe and God Bless
Excellent job! Sad that you couldn’t save all but you are right in that it’s a shame that the original owner didn’t do the right thing and give good care to them. Thankfully above all, there were saved from the kill pens!
Watching the commercials in their entirety help drive revenue to this organization.
That horse is like "AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAhAHHAHAAAAA"
Every auction I stand in awe of your work. Thank you Team HPHS!
Great auction rescue ... Love you guys!
Thankyou
You’re welcome!
Thank You Tawney for everything you and your crew are doing to save all the horses you do. 🐎🐎😁🌈👍🙋♀️
I dont know how you guys do it when you have to put any of the rescues down, I couldnt do it I'm a total animal lover, when my dad would have to put one of our animals down I cried for days. Thank you for giving the 5 horses who couldn't be saved the love and kindness they deserved. I don't understand how any one could allow a horse or any animal to suffer especially when they knew they had obvious injuries.
How could somebody do this to a gorgeous,elegent,smart animal and starve them to I'm ashamed to be a human and greatful that there is people like this that save them thank you
You all are so amazing, thank you for rescuing these sweet horses.
Love your vet and the work you do.
Wow...this is so amazing...thank you, thank you, thank you...!
Good morning guys. All you guys did great job for these poor. And I love them all. My favorite was the black and white pinto
Thank you for your commitment.
Just think. you guys are giving Teese horses a much better life than what that would’ve had. Don’t forget you are doing someGOOD. Better than what they could’ve had GOOD JOB,Feel. good.___
Thank you and God bless
What's disgusting is that an owner not only let an animal suffer, but prolonged the suffering for a possible couple hundred bucks. Karma...
Tawnee, I like the highlights in your hair it suits you looks really nice. Thanks for saving these beautiful animals. I have a lot of respect for yourself & Jason and all the wonderful staff at Horses Plus Humane Society for giving these horses a second chance at life.
U of T vet services, Tawney that is so fantastic. What a great gift.
❤️🙏 🐎🎀 bless the love and care you amazing people show horses donkeys and all 4 legged 👼 s of our heavenly father. Bless you all always ❤️🙏
I'm very excited to see the Tennessee University joining forces with you. Their representative looked like she was very emotional at one point. Looking forward to watching their progress. Love what your doing. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 💘 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🐎' s 2 I don't know what it is about mini's but their terrible about giving shots to. I used to have a mini herd of 5 and dreaded shot time. Tiny but a firecracker when your trying to give a shot.
We all hope that the University keeps in contact with you so as to keep us updated on what they're doing. I'm really interested to see what happens. Maybe you guys could take a few trips and do some updates. Maybe pass on some information that we could do to help a horse in need.
What a dream partnership with the University! So much can be learned from this!
Just imagine the work that can be accomplished now if the University and Horse Plus join forces!
We are about two months away from the 70's.
Always glad to see tag attached to mane. Yipeee!
Thanks for what you do. Its easy for people to criticize who do nothing to help. Its very stressful on animal rescuers to make the hard decisions.
I can't believe people would be so callous and allow these animals to suffer. Isn't anyone held accountable for the neglect/abuse?
agree..
I love what u do and thank u so much for sharing
