🐥John here! I've made a couple of chicken scratches during my editing on this episode; Jethro wasn't adopted, it was Sundance. Harvey and Silhouette were misspelled. Thanks for your understanding and continuous support! 🐔
Hoping Big Lick has dug it’s own grave and will be banned/forbidden forever.
Admiring your work, love and devotion from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱🌷
The lady rider who struck two of you with her riding crop, should be arrested for assault and battery! Totally uncalled for! God Bless. - ACD
The thing is the rider was holding her crop on the wrong side meaning she intentionally intended to wack someone with the whip.
Wonderful to have a Navajo Nation vet student at HP!!! Great work. Love it!!!❤🎉🎉
Yes warm welcome to her!
Welcome to the Family, you will be a great asset to your community! God Bless!
I agree
I cannot believe that , big Lick, is even around, when people get charged animal abuse for less. needless to say, it is gut wrenching to see. Gods Speed in a postive outcome
Sadly, a portion still persists. 90% of the gaited horses are sound and shown much more naturally then the pads and chains idiots
Makes me sick to my stomach. How is it over???
@@nickygentle9246 I'm glad Washington is putting a stop to this. Hopefully, those fools who abuse the horses don't fight to stay in. The nerve to whip Tawny & her employee in the face.!! I did see that.!! That one rider rode the horse right up along the wall & she whipped Tawny. I want justice for that abuse.!!
@@janethompson2305 I must have missed a bit? Is there a law passed?
@@nickygentle9246 I'm not sure. They mentioned in the video that big lick has to stop in Feb. They hope big lick doesn't fight it but that they have their lawyer, politicians & a lot of money. We'll see
Congratulations and thank you guys so very much for clobbering the Big Lick. Those people are absolutely demented.
I am shocked the big lick is even a thing, it looks appalling for the horses!! How are the owners not charged with animal cruelty?!
Exactly! Sadly, money talks. That's why
The lady adopting Silhouette is wonderful 🫶🏻 the surgery to replace a lens in her eye is extremely expensive, so the fact she’s prepared to do that for beautiful Silhouette is just amazing ❤ Thank you for doing that for this lovely little mare and for giving her the perfect forever home. 🙏🏻
❤🎉
She is so young to face a future blind so to be given a chance like this is wonderful!!! Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤🙌🏻
The lady who adopted Silhouette is just an angel, not only driving all the way across the country but then willing to spend who knows how much to try and restore her sight. I really hope we get an update on her in the future!
consider filing a report with the police against the "whipperʻ, so disrespectful
Not only are the front feet sore, the hind legs are so crippled under their weight. Horrible people.
They also nick their tail tendons so they can set their tails higher for showing. It's disgusting. All for a 50 cent ribbon.
💔😢absolutely breaks my heart to watch those beautiful horses being forced and tortured into doing that ridiculous gate 😢 thankyou for fighting for them 🫶
The gait is natural, the weights and soring is not. When allowed to do their natural gait. A Tennessee Walking Horse is comfortable and like sitting in a well loved rocking chair. I had the absolute pleasure of riding one at my first job, working at a training stable. I got to see some beautiful horses. Got to learn how to train and gentle some of the most scared and abused horses into best friends and good companions. We did a lot of good work, but sadly like many good works, it lost money and support. I broke my hand and by the time I could get back to it, the stable had had to shut down and got sold.
The gait is exaggerated beyond belief. It is not natural or practical for a horse. Plus, it's very cruel.
@@RavenSaint1 😥
The woman who hit 2 of you ladies intensely with that crop in your faces, should have asualt charges brought against her. That is not right. Its people like her that think their above everyone else, and that they can do anything they like to their horses because they own the horse and hugh egos for the competition. I hope the USDA bans this. This is truly the worst animal abuse.
Elites!
@@humaneleaguelancPA Nothing elite about them, just scum with money
@@humaneleaguelancPAparasites
Absolutely should press charges. These people go so far as striking others with a whip?? Unbelievable. This is beyond being entitled. It’s criminal.
My heart melted to watch the Brownie troop learn horse anatomy from HP staff. Thank you for sharing that!
I agree👍🏾
Yes show us their faces. They should be shamed for being heartless
I hope this is the last year of the Big Lick, it's vile. Thank you for all that you do
Big lick is abuse 🤔
I want to know which demon thought it up! What is the history of this evil practice.
@@hangemhigh3578 My theory (pure speculation) is that some Americans saw the beautiful Friesian horses in Europe (breed used by knights and royalty) and wanted to imitate their natural high gait with their own local American breeds using unnatural means.
@@hangemhigh3578 From wikipedia:
"Saddle seat riding began as a distinct style within the broader group of English riding disciplines developed in the United States. The first source was the Plantation tradition of the American South, where smooth-moving, high-stepping horses were used by plantation owners and overseers to travel across the fields. The horses had to be smooth riding and comfortable enough for hours of riding while overseeing the plantation, but the owners also preferred an impressive, high-stepping horse for riding in town. A second influence was European: a flatter English show saddle was developed from the tradition of riders who would often show off their flashiest, highest-stepping horses by riding them in city parks on Sundays. Hence, the term "park horse" is still used today to describe competitions in which the action of the horse is of paramount importance. In the northern United States, showing high-stepping horses in a flat park-style saddle at fairs was one way breeders would promote their horses."
And:
"Equitation: Saddle seat is a style of English riding that differs considerably from other styles such as hunt seat and dressage. To the casual observer the rider sits well back in the saddle, carrying his or her hands higher than in other disciplines. Riders in equitation classes are penalized for leaning forward to any significant degree. However, like any other riding discipline, the position of the rider reflects the desired position of the horse. The rider must make the riding look effortless, and stay still and well-formed on the horse, sitting upright, with shoulders back and posting that is graceful and quiet. In saddle seat, high-stepping gaits are required of the horses shown, and the rider's position, behind the center of balance of the animal, allows the riding aids to be used to encourage front leg action in the horse."
@rccyberwarrior2267 sounds like pure EGO. Thanks for the history. It's absolutely horrible they can't appreciate the natural world.
@@rccyberwarrior2267the breed has a naturally upslope posture and high stepping gait, but Big Lick exaggerates this to an extreme.
So disgusting to see such beautiful horses being abused when they already have such a beautiful gate. What amazing work you are doing giving these horses a voice ❤.
Thank you for rescuing and thank you for standing your grand and protesting 🙏🏼❤️✊🏼
So proud to see that you make it into the show Arena! Make a BIG Statement! ❤#BigLickIsAbusive !!!
With any luck big lick is over and done with forever. Hopefully they don’t just send these poor abused horses for slaughter. If they do then send them to HPHS.
Thank you all so very much for your hard work and loving care. To this next batch of workshop students, congrats on being able to attend and grow. Thank you for all you do too.
She know she’s lost but she doesn’t understand that the horses win! Just spoiled childlike behaviour!
Stop Big Lick now!
??
I first learned about the big lick years ago through Horse Plus. Hope it finally really does end. ❤❤❤ the adoptions!!
I'd known about Tennessee walking horses for about 70 years, but only heard of the big lick last year. I was horrified
Lynn is so good with the volunteers. I am glad she adopted Sonnet.
Big lick is abuse !! Lord please make the abuse stop. Everyone PRAY !!!
Silhouette has a wonderful, generous owner and life ahead of her🙌🏼🙌🏼👏👏👏. Cheers to Ms. New York’s kindness👏👏👏👏
Another great video!! I pray Dolly’s test comes back ok for her! Jolene is a wonderful mother to her! 😊😊
Thanks y’all for protesting the big lick!! ❤❤❤
Dr Lydia is awesome. Horse plus is so lucky to have her.
I hope big lick is over soon. Its abuse of the worst sort. Clint would be soo proud of you. He is surely looking down on you from his cloud. Love you guys.
Clint is looking & helping from heaven on this!!! FANTASTIC work Horse Plus!! Yaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Thank you for taking horses to Washington DC! They certainly need a voice in their favor❣️
Unbelievable that humans can blatantly abuse horses and show off what they're doing !
This made me cry 😢
Thankfully big lick doesn't even really have an audience anymore.
Sulihuet will be so blest if she can get her eye fixed. She's too young to be disabled. Thank you for adopting her. Good luck.
So cool watching Dr Lydia and Dr Gina teaching the Girl Scouts the horse anatomy.
The TWH's owners can still have their shows, and can make even more money. Of course that means they'll have to unlearn 40 years of bull shit.
9:48 I love her enthusiasm. Perfect fit for the front lobby of horse plus.
The volunteers painting was a fun to see. Seeing g the Brownies learning about horses and Dr Lydia showing the girls with their clipboard were adorable.
Too bad Elijah doesn't have his own YT channel. He is great at what he's doing and very well spoken about how and why he's doing it. It doesn't hurt he is easy on the eyes either. I'm sure he would have a lot of subscribers.
Totally agree!
Thank you so much for showing an adoption video I miss seeing those and I'm glad you brought it back today
It’s incredible how HPHS is growing by leaps and bounds! Astonishing growth on every front - fantastic vet team, I’m blown away every time I see Drs. Lydia and Gina working together, and with skilled vet techs and helpers - invaluable!
Tawnee and Jason, you’re true visionaries, skilled and experienced in so many important ways - what excellent, consistent leadership you display. I marvel at the many ingenious systems, programs, etc you’ve implemented over the years. I can’t think of any rescue in the US or really anywhere that has the depth and breadth that your organization has developed. It’s truly remarkable. Your whole staff are so hard working, talented, and dedicated. And to see the rescue network you’re building - absolutely game changing for the world of horse rescue and horse welfare.
Your media team’s content just gets better and better at “telling the stories”.
WELL DONE, Horse Plus team!!!
Big Lick atrocities
the walk of the horse under the woman who attacked with the whip... How they can even think it's beautiful to start with... Tennessee horses have a wonderful natural walk, they don't need all these stuff. The ego of some people who don't want to understand what they are doing is wrong, I swear ... "ItS tRaDiTiOn" doesn't mean it's right... lot of countries now forbid the cut of the ears and tails for dogs, it's time states see horses as something else than just tools
Her blood counts look pretty good, and the fluid looked pretty clear. It looks favorable at this point.
Clint is looking down and cheering!
Big Lick should go viral, so people all over the world can protest this horrible abuse. I’m 78 and I just recently heard about this through Horse Plus, thank you for making people aware of what these precious horses have to endure.
This should be recorded showing what these horses have to go through from training to show time and hopefully you can get a major News Channel to play it for everyone to see the amount of abuse these horses go through. 😢
That big black draft with shivers is -gorgeous-. Poor guy.
Grats folks! Y'all deserve huge hugs for helping shutt big lick down. 🤗
The Percheron reminded me of my 1st equine therapy session with a rescue named Zach. He was incred8bly empathetic and taught me a lot about myself. He loved nuzzling under my arm while he got belly scratches. Miss that big old gentle giant. So glad my psychologist helps rescue horses and all of them helping veterans with mental health issue due to service. They don't realise how much they give us, but they feel the love they get in return. ❤
We do equine-assisted therapy at our farm, it’s an incredibly effective therapy model. I’m happy for you that you were helped by it.
Shivers can be treated DON’T give up there is a vet in FL , VA or NY GA NC out there successfully treating shivers .. look her up and don’t give up
Have you been on Free Spirit Equestrian? She would love that information. She has a horse called Belle with it.
Wish I lived closer!!! I would protest every chance you guys do!!! Keep it up thank you guys
I pray this is true!
That would be wonderful
Silhouette is a beauty. Hope they can help her see again!!
I had to step out of the room while Sonnet's adoption was going on & when I got back all I heard was Korey saying, "...Dr. Lydia, she's just a little bit out of shape so she needs to build up some muscles on her back & topline..." and I thought, well that's a little rude to talk about Dr. Lydia that way! Then I realized---he was talking bout Sonnet! HPHS chuckle of the day!!
😂😂😂
And with that sense of humour you’d have enjoyed the minimule Harby’s new dad. Funny man. Warm new owners. 😊
@@didntlistendad Right.?🫏😅😂❤
That's laughable, only because Dr. Lydia is the only vet I've ever seen that could also be a supermodel!! 😅
@@EzThomas. Yes! She is a Natural Beauty! Lucky husband!!
Clint sends you a "thumbs up" from heaven! You are his angels. Thanks for all you do! Thank you USDA!!!
Great video, thank you for getting this outfor us and excellent news for big lick!
Big Lick over? Still a bit skeptical, but it would be an incredible reward for your hard fight. Tenacity pays off and hats off for your work. Best wishes from Europe!
Hailey, I hope you have a good time! Somehow I can tell this is incredibly important to you and you are so excited to work with the everyone, so I send you all good vibes! Also happy to see everyone back and working hard!
Let's END THE ABUSE OF BIG LICK! I love you Horse Plus, and every person involved!
Thank you for demonstrating so religiously against Big Lick. We have owned four TWH -
they are the most personable horses and want to please their owners.
FYI the horse in my profile is a TWH. RIP Flash (Midnight's Thunder Shower)
How amazing that Sulihuet has hope to see again, thanks to her new guardian! I would love to see how that works out.
TY USDA but mostly THANK YOU TAWNEE! So well done, you never cease to amaze.
Big shout out and many thanks to the lady that adopted Silhouette.
Mein Respekt und Dankeschön an Horse Plus ❤❤❤
I love the paint job!! You all are amazing!
Those Tennessee Walkers at Big Lick reminded me of something out of the movie Mad Max. That was just bizarre. Why? Thank you for trying to stop the abuse.
An idea for the group of visiting shelter folk....
Assemble a bunch of profiles of past equines. Horses, donkeys, hinneys and mules.
Use real profiles!
Mariale was an owner surrender
Pokey was purchased at auction
Stevie was a seizure by law enforcement
Include their ages, their condition, problems, positives, temperament and training....but do it in stages, the way you find out in evaluation.
Finish up with what happened to each critter....like last act of kindness, transferred, adopted or even just still waiting
Got 30 people coming? Have 60 some-odd capsules prepared and each attendee draws just one
That was a great Big Lick Protest!
Thank you for showing that big lick footage. Obviously I have heard you talk about it but that was the first time I have seen in. That is bizarre. Why would anyone think this is an acceptable treatment for an animal. Disgusting. Makes me nauseous. Please never stop fighting this.
Look,at the CZcams video “walking on broken glass” . It shows the 1999 annual celebration. Only guy forced the TWH association to allow him to enter the grand championship show wieh his horse flat shod, meaning no soring, no stacks and no chains. The natural gait of the Tennessee Walking horse is so beautiful! And when you compare to the grotesque gyrations of the horses doing the big lick , the difference is shocking and just disgusting. The gross abnormality of the big lick gait is appalling. And we all know the damage that’s being done to these poor horses bodies and minds.
.
If you watch this video, pay attention to the horses with stacks at the canter …..compared to the horse that’s flat shod . I’m not going to describe the flat shod horse, it will be obvious once you see all the horses in the ring.
Also pay attention to the close ups of the big lick horses in this video. Any horse person can plainly see the horses are scared and in pain.
There should be a photo cut from the video , of just these horses faces and that photo enlarged and made onto an anti big lick poster . To show the pain and suffering these horses experience, just in the show ring for a short time…… to make people think about what the horses experience the rest of the time.
Also, read about the owner and breeder of that flat shod horse .
Fingers crossed this finally comes to fruition! GREAT job y'all!
I just joined in. Did I miss the news about the BIG lick? Praise God if that is true.
Big Lick is NO MORE in FEB 😅😂😅
I've been on a year and I missed it. Must have been a blog.
Awesome community involvement at your place. Love to see this.
I truly pray that righteousness will prevail and this madness stopped…how disgusting, I hope these Freaks know that a world wide audience is watching what happens to these beautiful Horses in the Land of the so called Leaders of the Free World…Greetings from Germany
Thank you for saving these beautiful animals… ❤
Just some advice for painting. It’s much easier and faster if you use a small paintroller on things like the railing.
And 1) follow right behind with a paint brush, 2) use only quality rollers that hold more paint-1/2" or 3/4" - learned that from a paint store, and 3) volunteers can clean the quality rollers to be reused...
thank you another amazing program
I can't wait!!!
I really enjoying watching you two working on the land. With all the babies right beside you eating all the leaves and grass around you. Good luck on the hatching the guineas. Wishing you both the best in everything to plan to do. Hope the garden is coming along great.❤🐐🐕🤘
K & S Get out comment??
My work horse growing up on a ranch in Montana was a Tennessee walker. Probably the smartest horse on the ranch. He taught me how to drive cattle. The best horse I've ever known. Only problem was that he changed his gate about every ten strides. I was so soar. But worth it. So many amazing memories with that horse.
The safe act was passed here in NY so I truly hope it will be adopted in all states ❤❤
Painting pickets is a chore for the hearty!! Good job!
I watched the video Jason and Justin did on the Big Lick protest, and l chickened out and had to fast forward when they brought the horses 🐎 out as l found it so upsetting.. they were really gasping for breath.. Their eyes were so enlarged, and they sat SO far back that it made the horses walk slanted even more because they had the stacks on the front.. One horse rider was way too big for the horse.. he was a tall guy, and he looked like John Goodman BEFORE he lost his weight..that horse was in such difficulty l couldn't watch anymore..l 🙏 pray to God that the Government and senators don't block this ban..because so many of these abusers that do this are rich and influential..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👏👍🐎🐎🐎💔😢🐎🐎🇺🇸
I never can watch the big lick . 🇬🇧 so sad
Oh how I love the chestnut with the white blaze. Beautiful. My dream horse.
That lady that held the whip too close for comfort is not a nice person.
Everybody who rides horses in this style is not a nice person. Horrible people.
Competitor #840 was it? I guess it confirms that people who will do this to horses are not kind people with good judgement
If she can mistreat people, if course she can mistreat horses.@@didntlistendad
WAY to go horse plus for all the amazing job you do love you all
God's blessing i just finished painting some horses still have to let the oil dry so ill put them up for sale and soon be able to help. Your on my list take care. And keep up the great work.😊😊
Dear lord its so hard to watch those poor horses move with those horrific devices on . Who would think that's pretty !!! The people riding look ghastly. How can they sleep at night. Ugh. 😭
Good evening everyone.
Oh my!!! I am amazed.....when Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, THE WALLS CAME TUMBLING DOWN!!!!! Magical news! Congratulations to all involved ❤❤❤
Yeah I gave you another one if you keep on the horses on the bed nothing more than that for you 😘💕🫂🐎🆗🌻💯💯✔️
It's not over just yet and too soon to celebrate.
@@cherylmillard2067 What a big shame U think like that.! What is the big thing about enjoying abusing horses.?? Or any animal for that matrer.?? U sound full of hate cheryl & U enjoy Ur hate too. Get a life volunteering for somerhing worthy instead of abusing animals cheryl.!! God will deal w/U & U know it, enjoy God's wrath...
@@janethompson2305Didn't sound like that to me. More like don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
The big lick have lots of money they could appeal and win. We know how bent those in Washington are
Unless you know for certain this person is pro big lick. Then say so.
No need for the drama.
I spoke with a friend of mine who did a lot of equestrian competitions when she was younger. She mentioned to me that something that makes Big Lick doubly stupid is that there's actually a way to get a horse to throw its leg forward like the stacks do, but that causes no pain to the horse. All the rider has to do is place the tip of their shoe behind the elbow of the horse as it walks, and the horse will throw its leg forward. The fans of Big Lick aren't doing it because they like the gait, they're doing it just to torture horses.
Any abnormal gait , if it’s done long enough , can cause damage to the horses body.
@@teresahiggs4896 That is true. But what I wanted to point out is that the stacks are completely unnecessary if it was that gait the 'fans' of big lick like.
Awesome work, guys!
Lynn is such a sweetheart
Very happy to still see Lynn and her kids on volunteer day. Also great to see them adopting new family members. Lynn, you're a powerhouse!
You go New York! She’s going to give that baby her sight! Exciting.
That is a lovely toned bell ❤
THANK YOU FROM SWEDEN 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Praise God that the evil is being exposed. We were meant to care for the animals and God will be the final judge.
🙏 Amen🕊
Was going to say this earlier, but I feel like I won’t sleep right if I don’t…so hope you will read this comment. You need to get security for yourself. Plz listen. You’re such a sweet person and I just don’t want you to underestimate what those people are capable of. And not just a bit of whip during day time. Not living in fear is one thing but being proactive and just aware of your surroundings is another. You’ve been a proverbial thorn in their butts for a while but they were still making their money, now when their wallets are affected, they can get vicious. Please protect yourself🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you
You are an inspiration to all those who fight for animal rights. Bless you all for all you do.
Animal rights is not animal welfare
@@Sweetpeaslovrr Words. Not apologizing for "words" Get over it!
I don’t think it was a criticism, more just extra info???
So happy to hear big lick is finally coming to an end. The horses eyes say it all, scared and in pain.
I smiled a lot during this episode and I was so happy to hear that Big Lick Is done for come Feb. HOORAY!! Ive hated that crap since the first day I learned about it back in my teens and im 53 now. Hope Quackers "new" foot works out. Thank you for all you do.
