DRAMATIC Horse Rescue In Flooded Louisiana Waters - FNN

Brought to you by Bill Luke: billluke.com
A thousand people were forced to leave their homes early Thursday as a second round of unusually heavy rain hit an already inundated northern Louisiana. The southern part of the state was bracing for heavy rain later in the day.
Sixteen Louisiana parishes have declared a state of emergency, and the National Guard was sent in to help.
Guard spokesman Rebekah Malone says the Guard evacuated 361 people from homes in Bossier, Ouachita and Morehouse parishes since Wednesday morning, using trucks that can travel though water 20 to 30 inches deep.

I know I'm late but I just wanted to applaud these men for stepping up and helping to get these horses out of danger!

[@Sierra1947]

A huge THANK YOU to those men saving those beautiful horses.

[@Madison-vx1ws]

It's such a blessing that these horses were as calm as they were. I can't imagine having to rescue a skittish, out of control horse in those conditions

[@seeamerica1]

That's what I was thinking. Maybe they sedated them.

[@sammygirl6910]

Those horses ,at least the two smaller ones, are eventers of some sort.Possibly polo ponies. They are a lot more accustomed to loading and different experiences than a horse that hangs in a pasture and only gets ridden for pleasure on a property it's used to. Very cool video.

[@seeamerica1]

sammygirl6910 How true!

[@belle5471]

Madison M. Ugh that would be terrible

[@Ganpignanus]

great rescue. i hope the goat and any other animals were also rescued. i'm amazed at how well the horses loaded into the flooded trailer and that the truck could drive thru such deep water. good job rescuers.

[@ratherbfishing455]

Looked like show horses. They have a lot of miles.

[@suzannalytle2758]

I took the animal cruelty crime forward and rescueing animals god taking it down risked my life so proud to see you rescued them horses and dogs very special people god will provide what you need and to all the people in louisiana god bless you all you should be receiving money from him to help you 😁

[@ingridblohm-hyde805]

How heartwarming to see this rescue. I too hope the goat was saved. I donated money for the animal rescue but I still feel I did not do enough.

[@amatheaolsengabrielsen2648]

Someone else feeling bad for the goat just standing there?

[@chriskuhn5783]

I agree that goat should of been rescued

[@freeassange402]

there is another goat next to the first horse ....:(

[@suzannalytle2758]

I am sure they were alright They had a safe perch (for the time) and at the end of the day, you can always send a small boat to go get a goat which you wouldn't be able to do with the horses. If the water got too high for the horse trailer before they were able to evacuate the horses they would have been in a lot of trouble.

[@tinksmith4964]

says those horses are freaking out - no horse expert but they seem pretty chill to me

[@ZR1Terror]

Why would they freak out, it's just standing water. They don't know any better.

[@ellanelson7477]

The horses were pretty nervous but considering the situation I think they handled it very well.

[@ZR1Terror]

+Ella Nelson I don't even think they realize the gravity of the situation. Its just water to them, standing water, not a stream of water.

[@TravelersGarden_dgdr]

Tink Smith+ They´re quite nervous. Especially at one scene it is obvious. One horse jump almost into the back of one dude & stepped on his foot, because he didn´t paid attention enough, when a little wave was coming. A chill horse won´ jump into the back of the person leading.

[@LittleLulubee]

They were scared because they'd never seen water as far as the eye can see. And they didn't know how far it would rise. It's terrifying.

[@birds2horses583]

Thank you for rescuing them!!!

[@marinaa8491]

Thank god to the people who saved these horses

[@kannonjoshuartha9624]

When I see this, I'm not thinking "woaw my day is actually okay" I'm thinking "han woaw....I want to help them so bad I feel so bad for these peoples and animals, also for the ranch and all the money they will have to get after the hurricane, for secure and rebuild their house. I'm afraid for them and all the living in the same situation, and I can do nothing" I'm sad and my heart hurt, really.

[@jacalynnorton9786]

God bless you louisiana and god will be providing everything you need food supplies and money to rebuilt sorry for your loss but god will make sure your okay just keep faith waterbury ct good heals all even in tragedies keep the faith in him love to you all 😁❤

How much do u wanna bet that some of them were half sedated. Not completely obviously but just enough to keep them calm.

[@zombieunicorn5361]

Ok, I know they are saving the horses, but what about that white goat?

[@lilyhudgins2097]

zombieunicorn53 they left if there to die duh

[@lilyhudgins2097]

[@camille237]

I live in Louisiana and the flood was a really sad thing that happened to everyone that got flooded. I didn't get flooded thank god, but my family members did and some lost their whole house. August 12th this year would be one year since the flood and people are still not in their homes yet. There's FEMA trailers still out in front of a lot of homes. It was sad and horrible experience for me and a lot others.

[@bellahynes7475]

Actually If they were scared they would be a little less calm by a lot but some horses like water and as you can see they may not like it a lot but they don't mind

[@janetmiller2160]

I imagine horses know the men and think of food and brushing, nice things, so are willing to follow.

Woah WTF was that my imagination or was that really an alligator swimming around?!!?😱😱
