Hi there, thanks for your comment. Although Soul looked like he was a healthy weight in the video of his rescue, I can assure you that definitely wasn't the case. As you can see Soul had a big, thick winter coat but underneath *all* that hair he was severely underweight and you could feel all of his bones sticking out. These ponies had not been fed for some time and a post-mortem examination on his friend Denz revealed that he had tragically died of starvation. Soul was also covered in lice and suffering from thrush on his feet from standing in a waterlogged shelter. He and Denz had both been neglected and let down terribly by their owners. Although we couldn't save Denz in time, we are so happy that we were able to save Soul from this sad situation and that he will hopefully go on to lead a happy and healthy life. Thanks again for taking the time to watch Soul's story.🐴💙

@HorseWorldTrust I wondered how neighbors could see them and do NOTHING! Heartbreaking because these can't speak for themselves. I'm so glad for the soulviver. I rode my stallion until he was 32, carefully of course. His death was 20 years ago and I still cry. Never had another since. Our Thanksgivings were usually hooking him to sleigh and making the area with homemade bread and cheese..and a few bundles of fresh meat. To hear him tinkle the bells, lifting his pretty head to our inner song and that way he talked to the Rez kids when we gave them cloves oranges. Chasing the tribal herd of buffalo and cutting out the ones needing tagged or corraled. His stealing the calves from momma's and bringing to my gate and the momma's so upset. Going every morning to share my coffee..even bringing a good freind for our last ride together, to his final resting place at the cemetery. How can I hurt so still and these people feel nothing? I miss my sweet boy so much

It's very difficult to understand....we're just grateful that thanks to our supporters we can be there for ponies in need like Soul. 🙂

It really is very difficult to understand in circumstances like this. We are just thankful that we could be there for little Soul. 💙

Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Der Besitzer räumte zwei Tierschutzverstöße ein. Ihm wurde der Besitz von Pferden für 10 Jahre verboten, er wurde zu einer 18-monatigen Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt, für 24 Monate zur Bewährung ausgesetzt und zu einer Zahlung von 200 Pfund verurteilt. (Ich verwende Google Translate, um Ihren Kommentar zu beantworten, daher hoffe ich, dass er Sinn ergibt!) 💙

Hi there. Pretty much all trailers used for equine transport here in the UK have ramps. I'm no expert on it, but I think in the USA (and maybe other countries?) most trailers are those which require horses to step up into it, which is where the other videos you've seen may be from. 🙂

Thank you, Debbie. 🙂 💙

It is hard to watch - but sadly this is why we have to be here for ponies in desperate need like Soul. It's only thanks to our wonderful supporters that we're able to do what we do. 💙

Thank you for your support, Ingrid. We will never understand why people do this but thankfully Soul should go on to lead a very happy and healthy life.🐴💙

It really is. But luckily we were able to save Soul and are keeping everything crossed that with the expert care of our team he goes on to make a full recovery. 💙

Hi there. The owner admitted two animal welfare offences and was banned from keeping horses for 10 years. He was also given an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for 24 months, and ordered to pay £200. 💙
