That is the cutest baby donkey. Thanks for rescuing this sweetie.
I rescued several horses at auctions here in Texas. One was a full-blood Egyptian Arabian. A horse trader had her, but she had a leg injury and could not be ridden. She had a very rare pedigree, and I found a breeder who knew the value in that. She became a broodmare, insured for $30,000. The retired racehorse was a broodmare thrown out on crappy pasture, and was skin and bones. Bold Ruler bloodlines. Sold her to my farrier's wife as a jumper, but she would throw her shoulder out landing. They found a young dressage rider looking for a new mount. Within 2 years, Bold Tabitha became a champion junior dressage horse, living in luxury. The Arab/Saddlebred foal had been severely inured in a fence and was about to be put down. It took months of work to get him through the injuries and infections. He became a competitive endurance horse. I was so glad to rescue them all and send them on to people who could help them reach their potential.
Amazing, thank you ❤️🙏
Wow amazing!
Way to go 👏
Saddlebred people also cut their horses tailes
What part of Texas as you in?
“Just stay low, act like a piece of furniture“😂😂😂😂
I love Doc!
Me too, Doc is my favorite!!!!!!!!!
The big lick should be ashamed that one of their own ended up in the pipeline and I thank you for saving him
Big lick is not ashamed of putting stacks on horses feet and rubbing gasoline and other irritants into their joints as well as putting chains so they smack and cause pain on the hoof...and slash the tentons in the tail. Having the horses sent to an auction once they cannot "perform" is literally what they do, it's not the first tennessee walking horse they rescued, there have been multiple, at least two I can remember were at the auction with stacks still on. Big lick doesn't care. There are legit tennessee walking horses' events in which you can see how the horses walk naturally, that's where you can see people that care about their gaited horses...
I hate big lick. Ice been talking out against it for years. And will continue to.
Nothing makes me sick to my stomach as quick in the horse show world than big lick. It needs to be criminal.😔
@@tessak214 could it possibly be that some of the people in office that everyone have been complaining to actually own these horses and hire those trainers? Food for thought.
BIG LICK BIG LIE NO HORSE WALKS LIKE THAT NO HORSE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO WALK LIKE THAT
The baby donkey is just the cutest. My sister and brother in law use to raise these kind of donkey, they are the sweetest animals. So glad y'all rescued this baby.❤️
When I lived in northern California I I rescued a herd of camels. I am.83 and only rescue small.dogs. I applaud your extreme kindness to all these wonderful horses. Bless all of you
WOW! Camels?? You are also a very kind-hearted person to rescue them and the dogs.
Good for you Tawnee for uncovering the feedlot scam. I was warned about that scam myself when a friend said she saw a "bailout" Belgium going for $5000 to be "rescued". My friend said the most she's seen one go for at auction was $1000.
I’m so glad to see the little pittance I give every month is providing such love and care. Had horses all my,life, older now and I’m so glad I can help. I cry so hard every episode in sadness and triumph. Please do not even respond or acknowledge ignorant people who’ve no idea of the care it takes . Your doing spiritually heavenly work. Blessings to you.
Me too, it seems all I do is cry when I watch. firstly for the sadness of the poor condition of the horses and then soooooo many happy tears about the improved condition and adoptions. I simply love this shelter and wish I could send thousands. Do not feel bad about the small monthly amount (I give the same) because if every watcher or member did the same H+ would be able to do even more.
Thank you fur giving and taking care of horses in your life! I wish you many more happy years, I'm hoping you have family & some pets to keep you healthy, happy with Lots of Love! if only everyone would donate ONE Dollar or 5?
@@cheryladam8804 .........I just found this awesome rescue, I had no idea that horses are still being used for meat!! Its Never reported on the News, why Not is what I want to know?? Thank You fur All you've done, this rescue Needs All the Help they can get. There's sooo much Animal Abuse that happens, its hard to help All Rescues, donate, volunteer, etc. Just have to Spread the Love.....Many Blessings!
Please keep us updated on the baby donkey he's so precious 💕
How is big lick still legal is absolutely beyond my comprehension. Participation in big lick events is pretty much equal to admission to animal abuse, no horse looks and walks like that on their own accord. I honesly didn't know they cut tendons in their tails, which is now blatantly obvious and the horse has the scars to prove it. Disgusting. I really hope hell is real and that there is a special place reserved for such terrible (in)human beings.
They say they have regulated the industry but people still get away with a lot. They have technically made soring (the practice of putting caustic substances on the skin) illegal and pads can only be so large. Several trainers have been banned from showing as a result of breaking the rules. Vets are supposed to check horses at large big lick shows for evidence of soring prior to competition. That being said I’m sure a lot of people get away with things that they shouldn’t be getting away with.
Oh, it's real. Pray mercy that they didn't give to their horses ❤️
Tessa K agreed!!!!
Hey, you have an eye icon too! And here I thought I was original. Lol. I agree with you completely btw. Ppl need to be held accountable - one way or another - for their disgusting actions.
@@7thMack almost 8 billion people on earth kinda guarantee that literally no idea ever is original anymore... most things have already been invented and discovered and ideas that you think are original have probably been already thought of and patented by someone richer, that's just how it it :)
I can’t believe they haven’t outlawed big lick. Just an atrocious way to treat a horse. I also don’t get how anyone can just throw away a perfectly good horse or not just take care of euthanizing when it’s needed or try and re-home or call a rescue if they can’t take care of them anymore. Some people have no hearts or souls.
I can't believe how fraudulent and cruel people can be. So glad you're helping these beautiful animals.
Someone is getting attached to a cute baby donkey! :D
I had my cats micro chipped as kittens and at the time, their registration papers got into a stack and I just never thought much about it, figuring the vet had the info. When I moved and I took them to a new vet, the vet informed me their chips had no info and they took care of updating and registering them. I was thankful and glad they had caught my oversight. So I can see how this happens.
The orphan loves you Tawnie. So cute
Hi just wanna pop on and say my TW show horse (doesn’t do big lick or have any past evidence in it) would never end up there I will have her until she passes!
I've only just recently found your videos and they are so heartbreaking to watch. You are all such amazing people rescuing these beautiful horses and donkeys. I feel so sad when you have to humanely send them off to sleep but they experience such love and care in their final hours and that is very heartwarming. Thank you to every single one of you for helping these beautiful souls. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Best wishes from the UK x
Iam so thankful when you decide to kindly relieve their pain. It's the least selfish thing you can do for them. God bless you all.
That baby donkey is adorable I really hope he makes it! ❤️❤️❤️
thank you for speaking up for those that cannot speak for themselves .
Those horses are so lucky to have you and you do wonderful work
That poor baby donkey is super cute. Breaks my heart seeing how scard and sad he is. Donkeys are social animals so his stuffed dog companion helps him not feel scared Bout being all alone. Thank God you saved him, precious baby in a cruel world if you had not saved him. You are all true angels. I loved horses ever since I was a very young child, horses are gorgeous, majestic, noble animals who should be treated with care and love in a perfect world. So happy I discovered your channel on Thurs 11-12-20. All of your horses are beautiful. Yes, if the horses are suffering and have no quality of life, putting them to sleep is the compassionate and humane decision to give them peace and end their misery. Thank you Tawnee, Jason, and Team Horse Plus Rescue. I have not been working since Dec 2014 due to chronic serious health problems. I keep praying and actively strive to regain my health so I may work and have an income again. Thank God I had the sense to save while I was working so I am living off my savings. When I have an income, I shall be so ecstatic to be able to donate to your rescue and help your funds to rescue all of these beautiful, precious horses and donkeys.
Please keep us updated on the adorable, baby donkey. Praying he gains weight, makes friends with other donkeys or ponies, and maybe he can stay permanently with you to be your official Horse Plus Rescue Ambassador. Sweet adorable baby needs to be cared for and loved. Baby animals are extra special and precious.☺☺☺
I had a 36 year old horse and he was a sweetie pie… I spent money just to keep weight on him, he was well taken care of. Charlie was a blessing, loved till the end..
I donated for the first time this month and was anxious to see these lucky critters, thank you for all your hard and loving work, you made my day...!!!
They need to fix this. Beautiful animals that want to please… such suffering for the majestic beings. We are no more worthy than them! God bless you all for showing them that they are loved.. 🙏
You all do an amazing job in getting these animals back to health and schooling them.
The baby donkey is adorable. I sure hope he made it, but he was really enjoying all the love and attention.
I would never assume you are lazy, I see the work you all put into these beautiful beings.
I absolutely agree that a lot of people don’t know their horse or donkey ended up in the slaughter pipeline 😩😩😭😭😭😭
Is the precious baby donkey too old for bottle feeding? At least to get some weight on him? He’s so adorable. ❤️🥰
WISH PEOPLE IN THE UK WOULD DO THIS AND SAVE OUR HORSES PONIES AND DONKEYS FROM AUCTIONS. YOU DO A FANTASTIC JOB. 😊❤️
Kindness and love is what most need.. even if it’s the last act of kindness..
I need the small one to make it. That baby donkey just stole my heart.
It breaks my heart to see all those lovely horses and donkeys at the auction for slaughter. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for rescuing all the ones you did. 😪😊🇬🇧
If ONE human is cruel to an animal... that's one too many. Thanks to all those involved in saving and helping these precious creatures onward to a better life. THANKS and many blessings to all.
Good show Tawnee calling to let the people know that they had been taken advantage of! IF you are paid money to find a horse a home, you should not get paid twice for this animal! Especially when one is for a horrific death!!! I would be up one side and down the other of anyone deceiving me like this and demanded a refund to take that money and donate to a rescue like yours!!! Another great lesson learned from watching your videos. I shall tell anyone I hear about that doesn't care about the money, only the horses best interest, to just surrender them to a rescue so you can rest easy knowing your horse will not end up on kill list because the new owner is properly vetted by the rescue before they release them to a new owner!! Thank all of you! And a special thanks to the guys you have that can pick up the frightened little ones to get them loaded. Great going guys!!!
I absolutely love that you are honest and truthful about the big lick horses. I’m thankful you save them and all of the others too. The poor baby burro breaks my heart but I know the immense love and care this baby will receive.
I’m incredibly disgusted by kill buyers who inflate their prices and say they are trying to give them a chance to not go to slaughter. There is one particular kill buyer who begs for “stars” on Facebook and pretends they have the best interests of the horses at heart. People actually fall for it and send them a lot and support them.
I love the bald faced horse with blindness; gorgeous and I’m so happy you saved them all! 💖💖💖💖💖
You might see if there is a PMU foal or other orphan donkey/foal you can pair your baby up with. A long stretch I know, and not pulling from the pipeline, but it would gain him/her a buddy to grow up with, and help them to not be so lonely.
The donkey and the stuffed animal stole my heart
What a beautiful group of horses and the sweetest little donkey ever! My heartfelt appreciation for all that you do.!❤️. I'm beginning to realize what a rough business you're in.. so much to deal with,. But these majestic animals are certainly worth it...
You're doing more than most people so I don't understand all the criticism. If they know how to do it better then they should. Thank you for all you do whether it's rehoming the animals or giving them freedom from pain
Thank you so so much for everything you do. I'm an artist and I'm hoping to do a small charity auction to be able to donate money to you ♥ Each and every one of these videos brings hope back to me. Auctions like this don't really happen in France, and it's appalling that US and GB have such misery pits... You are angels for saving them.
We have auctions in the Netherlands. Ultimately, the horses that don't get sold, are slaughtered either here or in Belgium. So even if there are no horse auctions in France, they might just transport them to the Netherlands or Belgium for slaughter.
You go girl!!! People don't realize what really happens to beautiful horses when people are done with them. I hope you are opening there eyes now!!
He's so, beautiful, amazing!
That big ole roan at 1:00! What a DREAM.🧡
The horses are lucky to be around so many nurturing gentle girls to work with them.your guys too are great but I see alot of girls.good job all.
That baby donkey😪 i cant😪. He looks sooooooo sad , I really wish people had more of a heart like you guys do, so sad seeing animals treated so badly when all they want is affection. Thank you for everything you do, and I pray that baby donkey gets better real soon 🙏 ❤ 💗 💕 💖
God Bless your organization
Awe, so beautiful... probably was a compeption horse of some kind. I'm glad I just enjoyed riding without all the bells and whistled.
May GOD bless you-------thank you
God bless y'all for your love and sacrifice for all theses horses and baby donkey too.!!!! You are our HORSE HEROES!
tolle Menschen, super Organisation und sooo wunderschöne Pferde.
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.......DANKE AN EUCH
How these beautiful horses could've ended up for slaughter is beyond my comprehension. I love the before and after way they look. EVERYONE involved in the shelter should be so proud. 👍
Love you all and all the animals sooooo much ! Thank you for doing this work. I know some days are hard, but please know, each day, that you are doing wonderful things with your lives and time. Angel work!
the horse with braid, might've been stolen. it's a common sign for thieves to braid the mane before they steal it later..
Yeah i thought the same thing! Wouldn't surprise me honestly.
No it’s really not, that’s an old wives tale, proven fact!
They braid the hair if they are putting them in an auction or jumping or showing really has nothing to do with stealing them
I said MIGHT, because it has happened before
Please keep us updated on the little donkey, so cute.
That Ping just grabbed my heart he is absolutely gorgeous! I pray their journey together is full of wonder and beauty and best of all so much love! Congratulations on your adoption of such a majestic Horse!
What a GREATjobthere doing to save the animals. They all have a spot in Heaven. You should think about selling their old shoes with the story from the horse that came off of.
Love this idea!! sounds like a great fundraiser one, too
Someday I hope to have a horse rescue ! Thank you for everything you do 💜
Awesome Job! So nice to see all the love and care you give them. Your facilities are very clean and organised. Very well put together. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
The horse who got adopted in the beginning, the large bay, is built exactly like my rescue Dutch warmblood. It brought a tear to my eye seeing another gentle giant being rehomed like I had done with mine. They truly are such sweet hearted creatures.
You guys are so amazing!! God Bless you all for the big hearts you have!!
Rest In Peace to those who have been relieved of their pain.
That white horse is absolutely gorgeous. Look at those eyes!
🙏 Thank you so much ❤️ for being the voice of any animal that
needs one! 🙏 ❤️You do amazing work💖 I'm very happy of what you guys do and
your crew for al the poor animals🧡.....
She has the most prettiest eyes ever 😊
I so admire and respect the sometimes very difficult work you do!! My horses and rescue dogs remain with me for life ....
They are a part of me... just look in these animals eyes.... the fear and sadness breaks my heart.... I want to save them
all.. would really like to hear your conversation with the ex owner of those thoroughbreds!!! I saved a registered TB ex
hurdler... kindest most gentle horse with my kids.... lived for 25 years. All the best from the UK. X
You guys are doing awesome to the community and the state thank you so much and keep doing what you’re doing
Thank you! Will do!
I am so happy that there are people like you. You are a true blessing. Even though I end up crying a lot.
I love yaw even when you help the horses and what they need
What an excellent, thorough video. It is obviously most important that you are out there doing this incredible work, but I also think it is an amazing help to the world that you are able to film so much and make these videos. Thank you for it all!
Thank You all for everything you are doing to rescue horses and ponies and even little Baby Donkeys like this one. I truly hope he pulls through, he sure won't be starving for love I can see. Many Thanks and much Love.
Thank you so very much for the love you give these priceless horses!
Louisiana Lime has an incredible bloodline. Secretariat, Alydar, Sword Dancer..
WOW! Really great bloodlines and yet be thrown into the slaughter pipeline!! Horrendous!
I have only recently found your channel and I’m heartbroken by what these poor wonderful sentient beings have to suffer and my admiration for all of you knows no bounds. I don’t understand why this is allowed to happen can you imagine the uproar there would be if people were to start treating their cats,dogs and other pets the same way because ,at the least , if you take on any animal you have a legal,moral and emotional duty of care to them and to do right by them. Thank you all and God bless you in your calling
Now the baby donkey needs to just hang with you all like a pet with free rein...cant wait to see more of him awww
Some of those horses look so sad!! That's unbelievable! Poor babies who never chose that life
Ever ridden a TW that hasn't been messed up by people? The normal gait they have in their genes is wonderful to ride...smooth and fast...and REAL!!
Thank you for making a difference in this world.....truly.
I cried and cried. Can't believe there are people that do such horrible things to such wonderful beings, just to make the show look good. You guys are so brave and strong! Love you all!
patricia here--- I JUS WANNA HUG THE BABY!!!!!! AWWWWWW!!!! thank you for rescuing and thanks for giving nmercy to those who needed it.
From the looks of Ping he be good without the bit, what, a good boy. Beautiful too.
God Bless you all for saving so many lives.
Y'all are incredible! Thank you for giving these poor abused souls a second chance. And in some cases, unfortunately, a humane and peaceful final few days. I would rather donate money to the compassionate and honorable work y'all are doing than have these poor battered animals endure the brutal trip to slaughter you rescued them from!
❤❤❤Sending you love and light, blessed be. Greetings from Guatemala.
God bless you all for what you do 🙏❤️
What an adorable little critter! You all do the best things for all those creatures! Cannot wait to see more episodes!
I aplod the HARD work you all do daily. Cannot imagine the cost of just the light bill. Lol. Love to you and yours!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, God Bless you for all that you do and everyone that is a part of what you do.
Love that poor baby donkey. I hope it grows up ok. I'm so sorry for the two that had to be put down. I wish I could adopt that baby.
My aunt had a horse who was blind in one eye. He looked similar to the horse here 16:15. I will admit, I have not seen them in years and I don't know their horse's situation. I remember the story very vividly because it was the first time I had ever seen a horse. She said he was running in the paddock and slipped or ran straight into the fence. He must be very old by now. I haven't been able to visit them because they live states away. I hope they didn't dump their horses at an auction house.
I'll ask my parents if they know anything about what happened or if they still have their horses. I have not been in touch with them for ages. The last time I was at their barn I was probably 12.
EDIT: She still has them! My mom got in touch with her because I don't have Facebook and frankly don't want it on my phone. Sorry about that! She also lives like halfway across the country.
@@lilyboettner4310 I'm 14, turning 15 in December.
did you talk to your aunt about the horse ?
@@juliakramer3168 I have! She still has her old horses. That was a huge relief! I've been meaning to edit the comment but it always slips my mind.
You guys literally are heroes! Everything you do and decide is in the best interest of each horse, how people that allow these beautiful horses to end up in bad situations is beyond me and they should all face jail time! As for Tennessee walking horses I never knew this existed until now as I’m from the UK but this should be banned! Keep up the good work guys!
Cutest little donkey ever in the world! My heart hurt for the horses that had to be euthanized but even more for those who do that because although it is from kindness, it still must be pretty sad. You all are so amazing!❤️
I have watched video called the farm on Route 66 and they use WD-40 for for taking off the stickers he has investigated it and says it's very gentle and okay to use on the horses. They are in Arizona and that's what they use to take off the stickers WD-40 can be used for many uses so maybe try using that take off stickers that come with the horses from auctions. That way the horses can feel free from their old life. You guys are doing a wonderful job. Thank you so much for all that you do for these poor horses that nobody else care about!
Do you all wonder what they think when they have to get back in. A truck when getting adopted. Amazing
im the uk 1 single braid is usually a mark of a stolen horse often done to mark which horse they want to take n to make it easier to just grab the ones with braids. ive sadly seen it happen n its common knowledge here. thank u for all the work you do xx
I have always wanted one or two little donkeys to add to my small farm. I fell in love with that baby!
Tawnee, no need to explaine yourself for letting them go when they need that....REAL animallovers will understand💛💛💛💛💛
I just love your sweet, loving hearts sooooooo much!!!
I can’t understand how ppl can treat horses like that. In Sweden we have one of the hardest animal laws so we don’t see things like this here.
You all make a really good and meaningful job. ❤️
That’s true :) I wish all countries had all our laws (I’m from Sweden) and these people make a really good job 😍 ❤️
