Dr. Lydia is amazing, she always explains everything so well and thoughtfully, I enjoy listening to her a lot

Congratulations Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina

[@BarnMousee]

It is amazing how these blind horses can be so trusting. You wouldn't know they couldn't see.

[@sallywaites8517]

With blind horses it can go either way. Some horses are incredibly calm, confident and trusting. They will allow another horse or human to be their eyes. Some horses just can't cope, they're terrified and in some cases can become a danger to themselves and everyone around them.

Dr. Lydia ROCKS. Dr. Gina will rock too!

[@stilllearning8360]

Welcome Dr. Gina!!! I am absolutely ECSTATIC Dr. Lydia will be full-time. Although all of the vets have been wonderful, I have always felt Dr. Lydia's calling is to be at HP. She is utterly amazing. If I'd had a vote, Dr. Lydia would be my #1 pick. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL! I am personally so thankful for each of you and the care and love you give to all the animals at HP. You are a heroes.💙👍💗

[@sallywaites8517]

I am absolutely elated that Dr Lydia is coming on board full time Tawnee! That’s absolutely unbelievable ❤❤❤ Also, welcome Dr Gina, this is such amazing news! I was so excited when you said about Dr Lydia, that I nearly did Cartwheels! Not a good idea or pretty sight at 50 😂😂😂 I’m just over the moon for you guys, I really am, this really is the best news I’ve heard in a long long time. Just beautiful. 🙏🏻❤❤❤ Congratulations guys, you were already an amazing team but now, you’re the Super Team. X

I’m thankful that, as a terminal cancer patient, I’ve had another beautiful day with my loved ones, each day is precious and such a blessing. 🙏🏻💜

[@kallykat]

Yay we got a new vet!!!

[@writingskills7352]

Yahoo for the great developments on the vet front. Dr. Lydia full time could have been the only thing better than the situation you had with dr. Nancy. But also having Dr. Gina as a second veterinarian at Horse Plus will guarantee continuity and excellent care for the lovely horses and long-eared equines. Great decisions! The team you're building is getting stronger and stronger. Shoutout to all! I'm really happy with the news 🥳!

[@ajc7295]

Dr Nancy left some big boots to fill, but to know the absolutely INCREDIBLE Dr Lydia will be joining the team full time, there is not a more perfect fit ❤ She was an option that you couldn’t even dream of to have on the team, truly you are blessed. And to have two vets! So exciting to have Dr Gina join the team too. I’m so happy for you guys ❤

[@Hurricaneintheroom]

What happened to Dr. Nancy? Why did she leave?

[@ajc7295]

@@Hurricaneintheroom she left for personal/family reasons. She left on good terms 😊

[@tracyjohnson2992]

Awesome news. Welcome back Dr. Lydia Love you as the new Vet, and welcome to Dr Gena. This is amazing news Tawnee, i am so happy for you all at Horse Plus. Two great vets, and as much as we miss Doc and Dr. Lydia working together as it was in the beginning both are super amazing vets but to have Dr. Lydia back as a full time vet is amazing. I am so amazingly happy for your organization they are going to be great.

Amazing new episode! I am so thankful for everyone at Horse Plus rescuing equines. For my amazing mom, my father, all my friends and my late aunt, who taught me so much. Black Beauty truly is stunning! The two large mules are amazing 😻 The team of Horse Plus does even a great job with making advertising enjoyable 😊 And THE most amazing news - congratulations and welcome Dr. Gina, and welcome full time Dr. Lydia, that’s absolutely amazing news, I am so happy for all of you! 🎉🎉🎉

[@annmarieschantz9724]

So happy for you all at horse plus to have 2 vets aboard!!! Thanks for each and everyone of you for all your dedication to all the animals. I'm thankful that people like you are in the world to be a voice for the equines. Looks like Aruba did you four a wonderful relaxed vacation!! Glad your back!!

I loved seeing Kory with Patch! Kory says “Patch is completely blind. I’m seeing where he’s at -“ Patch laughs loudly, appreciating the joke. Of course Kory is seeing where he’s at - Patch can’t, he’s blind. (At about 2:10 in the video) 😂

[@Carole2Kittens]

Welcome Gina, I look forward to seeing you often. BUT I cried when Tawnee announced Lydia will be with them full time. That's the best news ever! Congratulations Tawnee.

[@cattoes1609]

Yeaaaaa, Welcome Dr. Gina!!! So wonderful the Dr. Lydia is coming on full time.

[@Imthewalkingbread]

The poor saddlebred has lost so much weight 😢

[@emmajones2586]

What a scoop to get Dr Lydia full time she is an amazing vet and the knowledge she will share with Dr Gina will be invalulable. Maybe you’ll be able to set up an Equine Hospital for doing castrations etc for the public to help reduce the number of unwanted animals.

[@gudrunvanhoosier6103]

I am so so happy to hear that Dr. Lydia is coming full time to the Shelter . I do love the way how she treats the animals and how caring she is . Love it love it love it . Please welcome her and the other Vet .

[@AD-hs2bq]

Good move! 2 vets for the # of animals you have makes sense.

[@sallywaites8517]

Definitely. If one is sick or has a family emergency or simply needs to take a break, the other is there. I was so worried when Dr Nancy announced she was leaving. But I think everything worked out in the end.

Wonderful news, Tawnee!!! 👏👏👏

[@shelljw]

OMG C(H)ell Yeh!!! Dr Lydia AND Dr Gina - So so awesome!!! Ive never seen anyone who hasnt loved Dr Lydia (YAY lady - you are coming back!!! Thats so cool!!! I hoped you might.) and Dr Gina - having seen you with the animals and the staff - I just love the interaction and you seem to fit right in like a glove like Emily has! It is like Emily has been there forever :D Kimberley as everyone else in the comments are saying - you , girl, are an absolute rock, you jump into any role and smash it :D John - mate - you and your chickens know how to cheer folk up, - I do have to ask - are your chickens at work cos your wife wont let you have them at home? Everyone else - you are ALL awesome - I love watching you do your daily stuff there at the shelter and dive int what needs doing no questions asked. You are all multiskilled which you have to be with what you all do!!! The donkeys are so cute - Tawnee can you postpack me one please? Not sure what the postage to Australia is but I know the quarantine is not cheap. The flight is about $30k these days I think to Sydney plus quarantine, then theres transport half way across the country to Whyalla, SA. Yeh, might be cheaper to just buy one here at some point in the future huh? There's always someone who has bred them 'cos they are so cute' then babied them, not gelded the jacks, and then runs into 'I don't know why he behaves like that, he was so sweet as a baby and was always curled up on the couch with the dogs' - ARGH yes cute - bring it inside for a photo on a lead - then back to the barn/stable/paddock.. Educate it as you would a horse but be precise with your instructions and teach correctly the FIRST time. Dont change the rules half way through... Thats why they get the 'stubborn' name - all equines and bovines, caprines, ovines etc - they are not dumb. Anyhow - YAY on the vet choices - whooooot :D

[@angelamelville67]

This is the second time I've seen this isn't it 🤔 or am I going crazy 😳 😅 So thankful you now have full time vets for all the wonderful animals ❤
