Amersham rescue horse becomes rehomed star

Please subscribe here - www.youtube.co...
Wilma was part of the high profile Amersham case where over 100 horses were living in appalling conditions. She arrived at World Horse Welfare's Hall Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Snetterton, Norfolk in 2008 in an emaciated condition, covered in lice and suffering from strangles.
After intensive care and rehabilitation the eight year-old 14.0hh black Cob was backed and successfully rehomed to Jan Cooper in August
2011

Once again, a rehomer saying, "We'll see what she's good at, what she enjoys" vs " *I* think this horse ought to jump/do dressage" etc. Fabulous. WHW extends far beyond the farms, barns, & staff... The rehomers are uniformly excellent!

[@babsfocker7751]

she is drop dead goergous. what a good mom she has found. God bless them.

[@johnmccormick1061]

Beautiful end to a true hoot story 🐎🧡

[@brookeleonard9883]

I rescued a horse in tx she's 13.3 hh she's so sweet I'm so glad I found the SPCA!

[@Tiger924s]

This is amazing!! I lived five miles from Amersham when all this happened... Best of luck to you both..

[@wirinaholstein4076]

Awww how cute she is Wilma. And I dont know what gets me the most - the pony's acceptance of having the rider on top of her and her willingness to learn and serve - or the way the rider ride her so gently with so soft hands and legs and feet. Its so easy to see that this pony have found her dream home where she will be understood and have riders on her back that are intuitive and understand how she works - and what she LIKES. Its so touching I feel

What a beautiful story! I rescued a Thoroughbred in Canada…..he's 17 hands and such a lovely boy…..I'm sooooo happy I found Hudson!

[@MelodyiLove1000]

I'm so pleased Wilma found a good home she deserved!! ... A while ago I came forward to loan Wilma but she was unfortunately already taken, but I'm so please to see her happy now with her new owner! Thankyou for uploading this! It put the biggest smile on my face! As I always wandered had she ever been rehomed and it's lovely to see her enjoying herself! Thankyou once again! X

[@LaDayna04]

thank you for giving her a second chance. she is so beautiful and healthy. again thank you.

[@adelezierler1547]

What a great lady you are, and your horse looks so happy. It's because you give her also love and lots of caring, it's shows.

[@HungerGames098]

What a love;y mare, how someone could treat a horse so badly is beyond me... I'm happy for both of you!!!! Best of luck!!!

[@reininghorses57]

This is such a beautiful story... Lovely cob, so glad he is enjoying life at his new home. Keep up the great work!

[@jazzy96ful]

What a wonderful end to a horrific story, she is a super mare and looks fabulous. Good luck with her and all of the other rescue cases, Great job Horse Welfare but what a tragedy that any horse has to get into such a desperate condition in the first place

[@OceanbornAngel]

God that horse is gorgeous. I am smitten.

[@Ganpignanus]

[@XylophoneTree]

The horse is so pretty after rehab.

[@Azendis]

What a gorgeous gal! Lovely work as usual:)

[@CHEVYedsf]

If I lived in England, I would definitely rehome one of these.

[@breyerart232]

I just love stories like this

[@tinksmith4964]

[@marythomson7931]

Tink Smith I am in Canada and I have never heard of such a put together group all I can say you folks are wonderful and I wish there was more groups like this for all animals.

[@janethomas78]

[@deettekearns9092]

[@TheOrangesmiles]

[@myhorseroxursoxoff]

[@sadiewilkes1061]

I am saving up to loan a horse from world horse welfare and check the website every week :) I am planning to go to hall farm when I have enough money to loan a horse and to be absolutely truthful, I can't wait! :)

[@mollyburn8999]

hehe I'm doing the same! Good luck, I hope you find the right horse for you (if you havent already!) ;)

[@HeatherandHorses]

how cutee x

[@beaybeto]

fantastic!

[@sophieconnor9979]

What a beauty! What was the Amersham case?!

[@emmafloydvlogs6214]

Is world horse welfare around Ireland too?? Please reply

[@flowerfell5074]

So I love the idea of rehoming a horse, but I live in the United States. I'm assuming that they (World Horse Welfare) couldn't send a horse over here, so does anyone know of a good organization that rescues and re-homes horses in North America?

[@doreenbenson5263]

ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT PEOPLE IN THE U.S. WHO WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE?

[@Schockocrispie]

Is there any way possible to get one of this horses and move them to germany? We will be so happy if we find some new friends for our oldys :)

[@pintolover7181]

omg my name is vilma vilma is also Wilma she has the same name with me I love her

[@sallycameron9932]

fun!

[@rebeccamcelhatton5248]

I live in Ireland and I don't think they would take a horse over here

[@whiskerstea]

Wow. Amazing. ;)

[@IAMdevilwomen]

what happened to her mane?

[@ktcolton3923]

❤️💙❤️

[@moonsinger8408]

What does MOT stand for in this context?

[@freyachantal4571]

Is it very expensive? X

[@nicknelson323]

do you live in England

[@myponyzuli]

where in the uk are you based? x

[@JustASleepySloth]

this just show's how wasteful it is to treat horses the way those people did to wilmer. coz look how far she came!

[@clairebacchi360]

Can a horse cry? I know horses are smart, and I wonder what they think of the abuse they get. I know horses can sense danger, fear and sadness. Cab a horse forget all their past when placed with a loving and caring person. Do they get over it, or do they need help in overcoming the abuse?

[@emmyrainwright7141]

Horses can't cry. But they can feel feelings like fear, happiness, anger. They never forget! But they forgive. And that's the best thing with horses. Ofcourse they need help after they've been saved.

[@directwolf9768]

Do you sell horses

[@wendylangrell642]

62 😊😊

[@indiax1162]

How much was this horse?

[@hannahlove3870]

Rescue horses are for free

[@jadine5747]

They are not free I'm afraid. The RSPCA charge between £50 for a companion to £500 for a ridden horse that's been 'brought on'. The World Horse Welfare (where this horse came from) charge between £20 to £400 and you have to be or become ChampionPlus members of WHW but it's only £30 per year and this gives you public liability cover. You'll be home checked and they will usually visit twice a year to check on the horse too. The horse will usually not come with tack/rugs/grooming kit etc either. These charities do such a amazing job and if you can give a horse a home it's wonderful! :-)

[@indiax1162]

Ok thanks

[@MorganandHenry]

Before i die i want to do what this woman did..

[@CAH-ie7cd]

Only disliked this because world horse welfare claims the pony had strangles. There's no cure for strangles do how has it miraculously recovered??????

[@indiax1162]

Really so if I wanted a horse from world horse welfare it would be for free?

[@indiax1162]

Ok

[@Sofia-og3sv]

Why do people from england/ usa cut the hair around the tail root, that hair protect the horses butts form insects ect

[@t0talnerd]

Don't all shout at me and call me ignorant, but am I the only one who thinks her stirrups are a bit long?

[@gracelui6944]

Abbie i think so too
