Hi horse plus. The standardbred with multiple brands that you got from the buy out program in this video was originally from NZ. I’m pretty sure his racing name was Sun Watch. If he has a star and a white scar markings on his near front knee to his fetlock then that’s definitely him. Let me know if you want more of his racing information and I’d be more than happy to send you though screenshots 😊
@@obiwankenobi6952 I live in NZ and have been around Standardbreds my whole life. I just took screenshots of his brand when they were clearest in the video and looked him up on the harness racing website. The symbols correlate to numbers ☺️
❤ I have an idea for your intake area. Get one of the big shop/stadium heaters and hang it up in a spot that will blow heat down on you guys while you work. My dad had one that run on used motor oil and it kept the shop toasty warm during the winter even with all the bay doors open. It would at least keep you warm until you get a climate controlled intake barn! ❤
Have yall considered perhaps doing a horse trade program? I’ve been thinking about this idea a lot and thought I’d share. Many people buy horses that aren’t suitable for their experience level. If you had a trade program, they could bring you the horse they have for evaluation of the horse AND their skill level and then get some sort of ‘credit’ towards the adoption of a more suitable horse IF they meet your criteria. It would remove horses from the pipeline as well as allow the horse and rider an opportunity to be matched more appropriately😊💛
I forgot to add-if they aren’t suitable to adopt per your criteria, instead of a credit towards adoption; you would then be able to offer to buy the horse on the spot for the $200 you’re offering now or similar ☺️
I love this idea. Maybe it would also help keep senior horses out of the slaughter yard too. If people know they can turn in their animals for help and trade they are more apt to care for the horses and bring them to you before they hit the slaughter yard. Maybe require a contract with the new person and an education on the horse and how to care for it properly. Also for more help, maybe offer a program where people who want a horse can voluntewr their time to earn a horse when they are ready. It mifht be a way to get help on the farm, and teach people how to care for them properly and give them a resource to call or come to when they have an issue. I assume most people just dont know where to go. This type of involvement would benifit everyone, alot of people have more time then money, some people want to just help, and some people might even be willing to earn a horse for their farms where they can be tauggt and volunteer to learn to handle them medically and have a communication with you to keep them helthy. I feel like this would be helpful because the more people involved with horse property might be a very helpful thing as more and more horses come. Maybe senior horses can retire in a farmers field for trade as well. If they have care for the horses they may not mind lending their fields to more then their own. Maybe they could trade the medical care for their horses for the fields and space or stables for retired horses??
The Amish should be ashamed of how they abuse animals and breed dogs for sale in this world of overpopulated strays. I used tadmire the Amish until I found out how they treat animals.
I think it's very unfair to just label that as an Amish thing because as you see it's a ton of people that do that not just Amish. And a ton of people do that to dogs and other animals as well and then just drop them off at the shelter or give them away or drop them outside. Unfortunately it's America that does that to most animals not just Amish
not just horses, they breed dogs up here in Canada. The kind of places that have auctions for animals they don't want no matter what the shape they're in and someone will buy them. just as bad as the horses rescued here. Selling pets in pet stores is illegal here now so they use Facebook and such places. it's bad all over for animals and it's so nice to see HPHS is doing so much to help where they can. Farm animals really get it bad. Keep up the good work guys. Each animal saved is a blessing to them and to you.
The man that brought these horses so conveniently in the dark of night, knew exactly the condition of these horses! Shame on him. Happy that you'll be able to put the horse with the broken, infected hip won't have to suffer but a few more hours. Same with the other two. Cory and Kimberly are sure great with the horses. Good episode.
Great idea, shame the people willing to give them a chance for less than taking them to slaughter. How do you know he wasn't taking his time to minimize their pain knowing the condition? Nothing said implies he is responsible for their current condition. All we know is he transported them to a rescue... for less than slaughter price.
That little girl is precious! She gobbled up every second with you all. As someone who works with horses and kids, I thank you for taking time for her. Little moments have huge impacts on young lives.
I worked outside in rain and you are right. Paper and moist doesn't work. We used write in the rain paper for all forms. Now they have hand held computers. I love how you all adjust to whatever is throwing at you wonderful job
Peroxide and table salt in the wash. Im on septic so I cant use the salt anymore but it does help. Grease stains: put some goop in the drum and a drop or two of dawn and / or oxyclean
It's better to give the last act of kindness with love than to have them suffer. May that beautiful mare Gallup freely across the Rainbow Bridge and be out of her pain and suffering 💔💕🐎🌈 And seeing horses come in this way that are suffering so make me love my horse more than ever and I always tell her how much I love her.💕🐎
Youshould get a bucdy goat for when horses have incidents like Fiesta did. They make great companions, and they don't kick like fire. A nice gentle wether, or older nanny would be great
That was a tough episode to watch😢 so many run down broken horse's. It makes me angry to see the condition of some of these horse's that came in, how can people do this to their animals 😠 . Poor Fiesta 😥 i hope she will be ok and heal well 🙏. Thanks everyone for all you do at HP 🥰
And at least those three never will have to suffer ever again I just can't believe people do this to their horses I will do whatever it takes to keep my horse healthy. And I always have. 💔🌈💕🐎
I would too if I could afford a horse & someone to properly care for my dream pasture ornaments. Maybe someday I'll win the lottery & can adopt very elderly, disabled & retired horses. In the mean time I'll just keep doing my best to build my emergency vet fund/savings account. Minus enough to buy a couch I'll probably have to cover to keep my cats from scratching. Usually they just scratch cardboard though. I think they like creating a mess in my living room from cardboard scraps. Better than the other options though.
Oh thank goodness fiesta recovered I think she’s been adopted now blind horses are still very adoptable. They managed to cope with their blindness and overcompensate.
Your buy out program is fantastic! I’ve been donating when I can. I wish I could commit to monthly donations, but, being on a fixed income, sometimes things come up that leaves me short of funds. On a bright note I did rescue a beautiful Gypsy Vanner Stallion at a local auction, last week. His feet are in horrible shape and look to have been neglected for quite sometime. He was so caked with dirt the day he got to the auction that when they went to do his Coggins, they couldn’t get the needle to penetrate through the dirt. They had to bathe him in order to get his Coggins done. I am keeping him groomed and he is gorgeous!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Thank you all for being there for those poor sweet animals that are in such bad shape and giving them the final act of kindness. You are showing them the love that they obviously never had by ending their pain. I'm sending love and good thoughts for speedy recovery for Fiesta.❤
As y’all saw what happened to Fiesta, it happens that a horse gets injured through no fault of the owner. But, then the owner may not have the means to “do what’s best for the horse.” I was afraid to get a horse for the longest time because I was worried I may not have funds if it got hurt or needed serious vet care. Then my family all said they would help if the need arose. I’ve had 3 horses since then and my family did step in when I needed help. A lot of people don’t have that blessing. Please don’t judge what you don’t know. The thoughts and words you have will change you. Always think the best of people until you know their story. I love Tawnee and the gang for all that they do and how they love the animals. I also am thankful that they are so generous with their words and thoughts of others. God can really bless people who genuinely care about all creatures. He IS blessing horses Plus tremendously. I wish I had money to donate or I lived close enough to volunteer.
You’re doing such a great job rescuing these horses. Thank you for saving them. In my area, quarter horses are very where, and gaiter horses are more rare. I rescued four horses from a slaughter house in Iowa.
Hello from South Africa. Thank you for helping these beautiful creatures. Heartbreaking to see the abuse but grateful for you guys intercepting their slaughter. Love ❤️ and blessings to all who donated and who helped rescued the horses.
I really admire the work you do. I cannot fathom taking horses to an auction - as ours are all a part of the family. Thank you so much for your compassion and kindness toward these gentle, sensitive creatures.
My cat started throwing up this Thanksgiving and I had to make an emergency vet visit. Nothing near what you guys had to deal with, but it did change my family plans so you guys weren't alone.
I don't know how anyone could harm horses, could send their animals to auction for slaughter. I am so glad you save them. Seeing broken legs etc. I have trouble watching the video because I cry, I rage so honestly I skip past. It's too painful. You are Champions.
I am just so grateful for all you do! Wishing and praying for the best for beautiful Fiesta. Hopefully you will be able to get the improved intake barn to keep you and the horses warm in winter and cool at summer! I really wish you get Fiesta to pull through and to heal.
Omgoodness Fiesta, what were you thinking silly monkey?? Now you must siesta instead of fiesta until you are all better.🧸 I am so so sorry 😢about the 3 angels you could not save. Even though my donations are small as my income is also, l watch these videos and hope that even in a tiny way l helped save the precious 💞 babies l am watching. ❤️🐎❤️ Thank You to the new Daddy who drove all the way from Florida to adopt Brue, and to the mummy who brought her wee girl to volunteer!👍🏻😄 I wish l had the post money to send John my chicken collection. I am 63 with poor health, l want to rehome special things to someone who will love them like l did.❤️🐓🐔❤️ What you 🦸🏻♂️do for Horses, Ponies, beautiful sweet Donkeys, pups & kits is THE most important noble work on Earth 🌎. Thank ❤️ You HPHS!!! Good🍀Luck in Washington. And 🎄Merry🎄 Christmas 🎄 to ALL You Horse Heroes.🕊️☃️🎄 Love, Dobby 🐈🐾 and me 🤗💖🍀🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
You certainly need more outdoor light around your intake barn…lovely the buy out program works…I am always falling apart seeing these crippled horses, so thankful you step in …❤❤❤
First aid for blood stains is ALWAYS soak in cold water. You would be amazed how the stains come out. Retired RN here and we know all about stains of all sorts !!
I am so thankful for kind people like you and your organization. Animals are so complicated and need so much psychological support. Your group of empathetic and skilled folks deserve a special place in heaven❤❤❤
Tawny, I use baking soda paste, or test an area not visible on the inside with hydrogen peroxide to bubble out the blood. whatever you do please don't wash in hot water. It makes the stain stay and never removes sad but true for me. I still have my favorite horse shirt which has a beautiful mare running. good luck and sending prayers for that beautiful baby horse. I thought id send a name in remembrance of my mama who passed on from Lou Garrets disease. Mamma's named Jewell. If possible may you name one of your beautiful lady's Jewell. If not, that is okay too. I always enjoy the naming of each animal chosen. They always fit each and every rescued animal. I thank each and every one of you for what you all are doing. God Bless you and keep you all safe to continue your amazing, loving care. May you all continue what you are doing. Saving each animal saved is another of God's creatures saved from that nasty nasty pipeline.
Blood on clothes: Cold water wash! If the blood doesn't come out the 1st time, wash it again. Do NOT wash in warm or hot & do not put it in the dryer until the blood is out. Blood is a protein & just like eggs, it cooks in heat. So if you put it in the dryer or a warm or hot wash, it'll cook tht blood into the clothing. I use a product called 'Spray n' Wash' and spray the bloodied area on the clothing really well and let it sit for about 10 minutes before I throw it in the wash.
Sometimes there's a lot of things that seem bad and yet they turn out to be something much better. So the auctions kicked you out that in turn made you get a buyout program which is a million times better than going to the auction. And also you're working on legislation. This is how it works with God is that everything turns out for your good. And things that appear to be really bad then workout to create something much better.
I would not have put another animal in with the hurt one as they may see this as a threat of being overtaken because the healthy one would sense their defensiveness. It was a good idea though so she wouldn't be alone. This is something you have to learn unfortunately the hard way like this but it will forever stay in your mind going forward so it doesn't happen again.
This video is older but addresses some serious concerns. You mention that a lot of people don't care - but I also wonder how many people think they can afford horses and then realize they can't. And a LOT OF PEOPLE are not animal people, or they're mentally ill and in denial. Theres a lot more in rescue than just "people not caring -" People think they care - when it comes down to it though they can't or maybe some of them DO and they can't afford it. Or they get in over their head. Or someone dies. And they realize - Oh these horses have been out back with no care for 2 years. They're being fed but we can't afford medical care. Etc etc etc etc. Horse care is astronomical. What ya'll are doing is a miracle.
Blind is not a death sentence my Appaloosa mare went blind at the age of 27 or 28 and I kept her and rode her up until she was 33 1/2 years old. It's called trust you are their eyes. 💕🐎 She passed away at an old age of 34 in 2013.
They don’t euthanize horses just because they’re blind. If they’re euthanized it’s because they are in such poor condition or have injuries that aren’t treatable without that horse suffering the rest of its life. It truly is the last act of kindness for these poor suffering animals.
How the hell can a human being let that happen, it should have been taken care of a long time ago. All that infection from the hip being dissolved and all broken up . The infection literally ate away all the muscle and bone😢😢. Thank God for you guy's.
So Heart broken to see soo many Horses neglected in such a awful way ,makes me weep, Thankyou for all your Team in giving them love and help where and when you can xx
I am sickened by what I see time after time. The suffering of some of these horses is heartbreaking beyond belief. The neglect and damage you expect to see from working horses in North Africa or the sub continent. But this is the USA for crying out loud.
Yep there's a lot of third world country type crap around here our prisons our jails the way animals are treated even the way hospitals treat people a lot so
Your giving Tuesday stream gave me the idea that you could stream on twitch. There are a lot of animal streams that people can have running in the background. For example I like to watch alveus sanctuary. Anyways. Loved your video! Greetings from Germany.
I love your dream Tawn. I'm glad you have dreams. That's how you're able to progress and make caring for your rescues a little easier each time one of your dreams comes true.
You are out of buy out money, but you are envisioning a climate controlled intake barn…That is how HPHS has become the quality facility it is today. Keep dreaming and fund raising!
Watching those new rescues come in by big flashlighting, all wet with body fluids or sweat, it is like seeing war refugees fleeing violence......what a horrible thing for animals or humans.
But I feel that it was much better that they came direct to Horse Plus and jumped over the auction. The stress is just the transport to HP.. depending where they came from.
I just noticed that the blk cat adult, Miss Molly, didn't have any toys or bed in her cage. Nor the kittens had toys. Is there a specific reason? I'm just curious. I've seen that quite a bit actually and always wondered why. I think the way you're doing the buyout is a great start and a new normal. I know not being at the auction sucks but it is what it is.
All I can say what fantastic people you lot are this vlog had me sobbing , I would love to experience a thanks giving meil .Sending all my love to you all from the north east of the UK. Xx
I am glad you guys had such a good vacation. You were like beaming Tawne and then you had to make some tough calls and decisions 💔bless your heart!!!! Thank you so much for standing in the gap. You‘ve got my financial and spiritual support💕love watching you all guys! What a precious bunch of people you are❤️big hug!
You guys do a wonderful job there and I would love to adopt a horse from you but I live in New Zealand. In February of this year iost my 2 ponies in the floods and both of them i miss so very .much.and have been around horses all my life.😊😊
I'm so sorry to hear that. Sometimes life just sucks. I hope if you're ever ready you'll consider contacting a local rescue & adopting some more. Either way I'm sure yours werei lucky to have you.
Tawny, you need to try merino wool! It’s not itchy, and they sell long underwear, as well as sweaters, socks, etc. Costco has Sweaters for $27 right now, 100% merino…it will keep you warm, but you won’t overheat. God bless you all. I pray that Fiesta makes a full recovery. Thank you for all you do.
You manifest your dream intake barn girl! I think it would be attainable and you do deserve to have a facility to be comfortable while you do this vital work. Please begin a campaign to make your dream come true!
I think some of those people may be backed against a wall too and don’t have a choice but to send them to the slaughter auction. And yes they would rather bring them to you. At least I hope this. It’s good to see so many rehabilitated.
I love that Dr Lydia came back! What happened to the lady vet that was hiding pencils in her hair from stress? Her limit was! I seen her slowly backing away at that point…
Hi horse plus. The standardbred with multiple brands that you got from the buy out program in this video was originally from NZ. I’m pretty sure his racing name was Sun Watch.

Boosting this in hopes they see
Hopefully, if they don't see it, someone they know will bring it to their attention.
Boosting for visbility
Wow…how did you know from just that short look…

"Use them up until they are broken" EXACTLY sums up the Amish mentality towards their horses.

Ask Morton if they will donate materials or even help you build your dream barn. They might go for it, who knows?
Great idea 👍
Any metal building manufacturer, actually. FBI buildings and many others are available.
Or even your local Home Depot or Lowes

Very nice message from you to them! I know they loved hearing a positive.
Peroxide removes blood and if it's resistant mix it with cold gate toothpaste and rub it in with a small brush and then rinse with cold water.
Thanks!
I keep peroxide in the laundry room!
Peroxide on the blood, old towel underneath, hot iron or temp specific for the fabric. Gets even dried blood out.
Peroxide and table salt in the wash.
Im on septic so I cant use the salt anymore but it does help.
Grease stains: put some goop in the drum and a drop or two of dawn and / or oxyclean

Poor baby Fiesta. I just lost my cat to kidney failure, so it hurts extra tonight to see her suffering. Get well sweet girl.
I’m so sorry for your kitty’s loss. I’ve lost 2 kitties to kidney failure. It’s heart wrenching. Virtual hugs headed your way!

You certainly need more outdoor light around your intake barn…lovely the buy out program works…I am always falling apart seeing these crippled horses, so thankful you step in …❤❤❤
First aid for blood stains is ALWAYS soak in cold water. You would be amazed how the stains come out. Retired RN here and we know all about stains of all sorts !!
you got a new zealand standardbred have emailed you his details
I am so thankful for kind people like you and your organization. Animals are so complicated and need so much psychological support. Your group of empathetic and skilled folks deserve a special place in heaven❤❤❤
Awww the fans showing up and being so happy to meet everyone is adorable.
I just want to thank all of yall for helping all the horses god bless all of yall
You folks work so hard taking care of these animals. God bless y’all.
Prayers for Fiesta and RIP to the 3 that needed the last act of kindness.
Tawny, I use baking soda paste, or test an area not visible on the inside with hydrogen peroxide to bubble out the blood. whatever you do please don't wash in hot water. It makes the stain stay and never removes sad but true for me. I still have my favorite horse shirt which has a beautiful mare running. good luck and sending prayers for that beautiful baby horse. I thought id send a name in remembrance of my mama who passed on from Lou Garrets disease. Mamma's named Jewell. If possible may you name one of your beautiful lady's Jewell. If not, that is okay too. I always enjoy the naming of each animal chosen. They always fit each and every rescued animal. I thank each and every one of you for what you all are doing. God Bless you and keep you all safe to continue your amazing, loving care. May you all continue what you are doing. Saving each animal saved is another of God's creatures saved from that nasty nasty pipeline.
Blood on clothes: Cold water wash! If the blood doesn't come out the 1st time, wash it again. Do NOT wash in warm or hot & do not put it in the dryer until the blood is out. Blood is a protein & just like eggs, it cooks in heat. So if you put it in the dryer or a warm or hot wash, it'll cook tht blood into the clothing. I use a product called 'Spray n' Wash' and spray the bloodied area on the clothing really well and let it sit for about 10 minutes before I throw it in the wash.
Sometimes there's a lot of things that seem bad and yet they turn out to be something much better. So the auctions kicked you out that in turn made you get a buyout program which is a million times better than going to the auction. And also you're working on legislation. This is how it works with God is that everything turns out for your good. And things that appear to be really bad then workout to create something much better.
I would not have put another animal in with the hurt one as they may see this as a threat of being overtaken because the healthy one would sense their defensiveness. It was a good idea though so she wouldn't be alone. This is something you have to learn unfortunately the hard way like this but it will forever stay in your mind going forward so it doesn't happen again.
23:56 the barn with the floodlight in the background looks a bit like the stable in Bethlehem, above which the star has stopped 😆😆😆

This video is older but addresses some serious concerns. You mention that a lot of people don't care - but I also wonder how many people think they can afford horses and then realize they can't. And a LOT OF PEOPLE are not animal people, or they're mentally ill and in denial. Theres a lot more in rescue than just "people not caring -" People think they care - when it comes down to it though they can't or maybe some of them DO and they can't afford it. Or they get in over their head. Or someone dies. And they realize - Oh these horses have been out back with no care for 2 years. They're being fed but we can't afford medical care. Etc etc etc etc. Horse care is astronomical. What ya'll are doing is a miracle.
Blind is not a death sentence my Appaloosa mare went blind at the age of 27 or 28 and I kept her and rode her up until she was 33 1/2 years old. It's called trust you are their eyes. 💕🐎
She passed away at an old age of 34 in 2013.
They don’t euthanize horses just because they’re blind. If they’re euthanized it’s because they are in such poor condition or have injuries that aren’t treatable without that horse suffering the rest of its life. It truly is the last act of kindness for these poor suffering animals.
How the hell can a human being let that happen, it should have been taken care of a long time ago. All that infection from the hip being dissolved and all broken up . The infection literally ate away all the muscle and bone😢😢. Thank God for you guy's.

Thanks for giving the last act of kindness ❤
You all do amazing work at high personal cost. Bless you all. ❤
It's the saddest thing when they have to be put down. Hurts my heart so much.
Prayers for complete healing on fiesta 💕🐎🙏🙏
I love that even tho you were super busy you didn’t turn them away. ❤
Good luck from New Zealand 🐎🐎🐎
So Heart broken to see soo many Horses neglected in such a awful way ,makes me weep, Thankyou for all your Team in giving them love and help where and when you can xx
I am sickened by what I see time after time. The suffering of some of these horses is heartbreaking beyond belief. The neglect and damage you expect to see from working horses in North Africa or the sub continent. But this is the USA for crying out loud.
Yep there's a lot of third world country type crap around here our prisons our jails the way animals are treated even the way hospitals treat people a lot so
Your giving Tuesday stream gave me the idea that you could stream on twitch. There are a lot of animal streams that people can have running in the background. For example I like to watch alveus sanctuary.
Anyways. Loved your video! Greetings from Germany.
❤with love keep doing what you can &help horses 🐎
I love your dream Tawn. I'm glad you have dreams. That's how you're able to progress and make caring for your rescues a little easier each time one of your dreams comes true.
You are out of buy out money, but you are envisioning a climate controlled intake barn…That is how HPHS has become the quality facility it is today. Keep dreaming and fund raising!
Be more conservative & then you’ll have more funds for buying horses & taking care of their medical needs.
I’m. Glad u guys are doing what ever it takes to take a I’m so happy to watch the u. Tube so yeah
I'm glad you filmed that Tawnee! But also great that the film staff was at home, that's taking good care of your people
Watching those new rescues come in by big flashlighting, all wet with body fluids or sweat, it is like seeing war refugees fleeing violence......what a horrible thing for animals or humans.
You are so right. 😢
It's traumatic for sure.. poor horses. I hope they can heal with loving owners.
But I feel that it was much better that they came direct to Horse Plus and jumped over the auction. The stress is just the transport to HP.. depending where they came from.
I just noticed that the blk cat adult, Miss Molly, didn't have any toys or bed in her cage. Nor the kittens had toys. Is there a specific reason? I'm just curious. I've seen that quite a bit actually and always wondered why.
I think the way you're doing the buyout is a great start and a new normal. I know not being at the auction sucks but it is what it is.
In the clip they were scrubbing the cages. When the cats were in you can see a cat lying on a fluffy blanket(the rest wasnt visible)
thank you for stopping the pain
Oh I LOVE your dream of a climate controlled intake barn! My brain is thinking of ideas now too! 🥰
All I can say what fantastic people you lot are this vlog had me sobbing , I would love to experience a thanks giving meil .Sending all my love to you all from the north east of the UK. Xx
I am glad you guys had such a good vacation. You were like beaming Tawne and then you had to make some tough calls and decisions 💔bless your heart!!!! Thank you so much for standing in the gap. You‘ve got my financial and spiritual support💕love watching you all guys! What a precious bunch of people you are❤️big hug!
You guys do a wonderful job there and I would love to adopt a horse from you but I live in New Zealand. In February of this year iost my 2 ponies in the floods and both of them i miss so very .much.and have been around horses all my life.😊😊
I'm so sorry to hear that. Sometimes life just sucks.
I hope if you're ever ready you'll consider contacting a local rescue & adopting some more.
Either way I'm sure yours werei lucky to have you.
Tawny, you need to try merino wool! It’s not itchy, and they sell long underwear, as well as sweaters, socks, etc. Costco has Sweaters for $27 right now, 100% merino…it will keep you warm, but you won’t overheat. God bless you all. I pray that Fiesta makes a full recovery. Thank you for all you do.
1st time I was able to make a live. I Fiesta is breaking my heart she is in the best hands possible
You manifest your dream intake barn girl! I think it would be attainable and you do deserve to have a facility to be comfortable while you do this vital work. Please begin a campaign to make your dream come true!
Theres some nice horses in the intake. Even well bred nice horses can fall victim to abuse.
No horse is safe. I've seen pure bred frisians and shirehorses in slaughter auctions, skinny and scared but fine horses.
Ugh, can’t poor Fiesta catch a break? You guys are tough, not sure I could cope with all that. I’d be crying
I have a hunch that there were some tears, we just didn't see them.
Poor Fiesta, I hope she’s doing a bit better by now!
I think some of those people may be backed against a wall too and don’t have a choice but to send them to the slaughter auction. And yes they would rather bring them to you. At least I hope this. It’s good to see so many rehabilitated.
Those Babies Are So Cute And Adorable I love them so very much ❤️🥰🤗💕
Vocês são incríveis ❤❤❤❤, obrigado ❤
I love you and want to hug you as the sadness is unbelievable. You are so Good thank you, Loved by God and praying for you!
For me sometimes it’s hard to watch, but I want to make sure y’all get money for having this channel 💕
Thank you for saving them ❤
I love that Dr Lydia came back! What happened to the lady vet that was hiding pencils in her hair from stress? Her limit was! I seen her slowly backing away at that point…
That was Dr. Nancy. I don’t know if they ever said why she left. I liked how she interacted with the horses.
They had mentioned that Dr. Nancy had some family problems, and that's why she had to leave.
Where is the kittens bedding, they need a towel or soft pad
Dr. Nancy said life happens. Every weekend she had to travel long ways to take care of some family and that took a toll on her 😢
@@fayesmith2406it does briefly show there's a soft pad in there after she's done cleaning them out
hello i love horse plus 😍❤

I love this. God bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s unfortunate. I hope you’re successful. True equine heroes!!!
