Vanessa's Story

- Vanessa is a beautiful Arabian mare we intercepted from auction through our Buy Out Program in February. She came to us with a few scars on her legs and long front hooves, but was otherwise sound. After completing her month of quarantine, she was brought down to the main facility and was seen by our farrier. Our vets observed that she was walking heel first, rather than stepping toe first. Though it made her feet a little sore, our vets found nothing concerning and she was approved for her adoption!
Vanessa's Story was only possible due to the support of our generous donors. The role you play is pivotal in rescuing, sheltering, and protecting horses. Remember, horses like Vanessa get a second chance solely because of compassionate individuals like you. We urgently need your continued support.
We rescue horses of all species, ages, training levels and colors. No animal is ever turned away at our Open Admission Shelter!

Thank you!
Cute family. . . I got so nervous when I thought the larger woman was adopting Vanessa for Herself!!!
Size and weight ratio Always concerns me.
If I were as heavy as I once was,-- I’d be looking at Draft X’s.
Vanessa is so lovely,-- she is going to make some children’s lives so exciting and more beautiful. 😍
The kids love her! And she’s a great asset to our family! Bringing her home was the best choice I could’ve made
What a gorgeous girl. Its crazy she ended up in the slaughter pipeline. I would love see more horse stories, successes and updates on previously adopted horses if possible.
What a magnificent horse!! She’s going to a loving home and she is going to have a purpose! She will always be well cared for and loved by all the children and people who come to the camp. Great placement for her. ❤❤❤
Gorgeous girl, bless her. ❤❤❤
It's so nice you kept her that extra month to attend to her farrier care---Well Done! She's got a bright future with her adopters.
Thank you for finally showing an indidual horse story that didn't end in death. I stopped watching your previous short stories because they were to painful. Yes we know the pain and suffering but we need the positive individuals stories to keep us encouraged. To see the horse transformed highlights your accomplishments. Thank you again.
I completely agree with you and stopped watching for the exact same reason. This is the first HP short I've watched in a very long time and was surprised it was a happy story.
🙂@@timilisafogal6990
They are showing the reality of what they are doing. Everything isn't rainbows and sunshine
Doesn't keep the haters fed either with a happy result.❤
@@cindylong624 Well, duh. There's this thing called reading comprehension. You should Google it. Susan said right in her post, yes we *know the pain and suffering* but need positive stories too. There has to be a balance. What is the point of coming to watch horses suffer and die ad nauseum in the majority of their content. Unless you enjoy it? I certainly don't. HP saves a ton of lives too. We just want to see the happy stories along with the tragic.
She's beautiful and she is so blessed to have had to come into your facility to be taken care of. 💕🐎
I'm going to guess that Vanessa might be a Hackney rather than an Arabian. Her injuries are consistent with an accident under harness (back legs & under tail) & that is where Hackneys are usually shown. They also have a lot of Arabian-like qualities. Just a guess, she's a doll no matter the breed (or combination of breeds) & you did great to rescue her. May her new home be one of daily delight!
vintagelady=ja, könnte möglich sein mit dem Hackney 50% und Araber50% Blutanteil. Ich dachte eher an polnischer Vollblutaraber Linie vom Exterieur + Bewegung + Interieur her. Warum der Schweif so extrem kurz ist und dauernd so hoch steht...vlt ist Schweiferübe gekürzt....? Ich weiss es nicht.-- Auf jeden Fall wünsche ich VANESSA ein wirklich GUTES-FÜR-IMMER-ZUHAUSE😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I concur that she's most likely Hackney as opposed to Arabian. I noticed her gait is different, as well. Good call!
I wondered if she was a driving horse because of the length of her tail.
I wasn’t sure but I thought shorter tails worked better with harnesses.
I’d love to be corrected if I’m wrong. I learn from my mistakes too. 😉
I agree, Hackney. And a darn cute one!
A lady with such a warm. sweet laugh deserves that beautiful Vanessa
.
Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye, but be sure all of you at Horse Plus who helped Vanessa are now a permanent part of her healing heart. God bless you & thank you!!
I knew Temperance would get Vanessa! Her eyes just sparkled. I know who'll be riding Vanessa.❤ Congratulations ladies! Its awesome what youre doing for kids. Horse are the best thing ever for kids. Best of luck!🎉
Agreed Lori, horses are a great thing for youth and Vanessa is destined for a great life. Until COVID I was honored to work at BBTRC, a similar Center as Temperance runs. I was in bliss. The whole operation is wonderful, and a low key atmosphere as well, which Vanessa wil most likely love. She is finally at peace.
She’s been the BEST horse🥹❤️ thank you so much! The kids love her so much!
@@ITSTEMP2X thank you for all you do for the children and thank you for taking this beautiful mare and giving her the love and forever life she deserves. ❤
Aww, Vanessa is such a beautiful Arabian. She caught my eye right away, having had mostly Arabs myself and having worked with a lot of Arabs in the past. I'm so happy to hear she'll be helping kids in a therapeutic riding program. What a wonderful life she'll lead. Thank you to her adopters for giving Vanessa a loving forever home. 💗
Beautifully said Hugh. 🙏🏻
She’s been the best! I’m so grateful that I found her🥹❤️
She looks like a sweet mare. I do think she’s got issues that weren’t mentioned. I saw that her from right is turned inward quite severely.
Wishing all the best and love from Germany.
I was thinking of Vanessa's age of 16 years. When I worked at a stable/riding school, a part Arabian, was still fine at 25. Was just having to start being fed more of a senior diet due to teeth aging. Hope she does well at the riding camp.
My riding instructor told me that after about 12-13 is when Arabs start to come into their prime. She had a 25 year old mare that she bred and she was still being used as a “teacher” horse for her granddaughter.
I personally think she was far too old to put through a pregnancy but she handled it like a champ.
Vanessa still has a LOT of life and love to give her new owners.
I’ve owned and ridden horses most of my life. This experience of over 50years includes a huge variety of breeds and disciplines. I also worked for a therapeutic riding organization and my developmentally delayed daughter actively participated in the program as well.
I say all that for this: I’m so happy that this sweet mare is going to what seems like will be a caring home, but she is an Arabian or part Arabian, which is a hot and spirited breed. Typically, hot blooded horses aren’t chosen for therapeutic riding programs for obvious reasons. She fits within the ideal age profile at 16 years, but I think she was adopted out extremely fast and before being brought to optimal health, e.g. demonstrating tenderness in her hooves on her adoption day. I hope HPHS does their due diligence in following up on this mare’s recovery care in her new home…a video would be nice. 😊
Thank you so much for your warm comment!
So beautiful to see that she’s now in a loving home and I also think that she’s gonna be wonderful with the kids bc of her temperament 🙌
Cute horse! A gift from your angels to let a healthy one in once n a while!! Gotta have that little break in heavy.❤
To me, Vanessa is perfect.
Wow, she's beautiful and my favorite breed of horse. I love her movement.
Isn't she beautiful !!!😊

So FANTASTIC to see Vanessa go to a GREAT home where she will be a cherished member❤❤❤
Great video guys
Thanks so much!
❤❤ my fav too. Are those people too big in size to ride this little mare?
They explained she’s for kids to ride, not for them :)
@@vickypedia1353 Oh thank you. I missed that in the video and thought the adopter is waaaayyyyyy too heavy for that small, sore, sweet mare!
I don’t ride her. But the kids do and they absolutely love her and she adores them.
I am sorry. I made the comment before listening all the way. Very rude of me. Grateful for your love for her❤
Ouch, poor girl looked really sore on her front feet🥲
She was but we’ve been getting farrier care and she’s doing so much better🥹🥹❤️
@@ITSTEMP2Xthat’s wonderful to hear. She’s such a beautiful mare and I just know she’s going to thrive in your loving home and hands. 🙏🏻❤️
Nice!
My biggest wise is to end this torcher !!! I have 5 horse that I love every day !. I’m in England but is there anyway I can come help you ? Xxx

I've had Arab's and Arab crosses most of my 67 years. I hope these people know what their getting into, I love them but they can get spicy at the most inconvenient times.
That tail carriage certainly screams Arabian lol
I'm a farrier with 14 years of experience. A heel first landing is the correct way a horse should land, not a toe first landing. If it's a toe first landing, both tendons are being tightened at once, rather than one then the other like a pulley system. Try running around on your toes. Naturally, you hit heel first, too. A horse landing toe first has pain at the back of the foot so she was hitting correctly, its just not completely normal due to her long toes. I think Dr Lydia is excellent at what she does, but that isn't correct. I think what she's probably trying to say is that once the breakover is back farther, she will be able to hit heel first and ROLL off the toe like she should. Horses are supposed to hit heel first, though. Oftentimes, when a horse is very long, if you change both the breakover and the heels too quickly, they can get ouchy because it is too much too soon.
I’m not a farrier or anything I’m just a teen who’s been riding for 7 yrs and even I knew that heel first is the right way to walk !
And she will be happy with the kids... I think it's a good thing 😂
It's great that a rescue was able to be rehabilitated so easily. I was surprised that you didn't realise that cutting her feet back to the maximum may induce lameness. Think of a super model who has worn stilettos for years, trying to run a marathon. Horses tendons and ligaments need more time to compensate for the chages of angle and depth of hoof wall. I realise that your farrier is a professional and so did a safe trim. I am more trying to point out the pitfalls for people reading your story, who may try to do too much correction in 1 trim and then work the horse. You can completely wreck tendons and do damage to the joints, which could be irreparable. I have seen horses in severe pain after the angles of the hoof being drastically changed by inexperienced people. So much damage can be done by people who want to rehabilitate horses and other animals too quickly.
I truly don't mean this information as criticism of anyone in this instance only wanted to point out the problem and explain to people the pitfalls of trying to change neglected animals lives too quickly
Judith, they did realise, which is why Elijah did a gradual trim and why they stated Vanessa would have further follow up farrier care in her new home. The adopter has commented saying Vanessa has been having diligent treatment for her feet, which she was advised to do by HP.
You said you weren’t being critical, yet you opened your comment by saying you were surprised HP didn’t know trimming Vanessa to the maximum would induce lameness. HP explained Vanessa was being trimmed gradually for that very reason.
Just letting you all know someone on tik tok is really bad mouth you all it is scary and if I am mad at what is being said imagine what other people are thinking
she was probably in a show barn recently. because her tail was braided up, and when they hit the auction houses, their tails get chopped off. I bet she has DNA registry with the arabian horse association.
She's beautiful and she is so blessed to have had to come into your facility to be taken care of. 💕🐎
