Long overdue update on the two Belgian Draft Horses that were rescued after we said goodbye to Lucky

Episode 64
Back in April, after we said goodbye to Lucky, we rescued 2 more Belgian Draft Horses from Bowie Texas Livestock. A mare and a gelding. If you don't know Lucky's story...he was rescued from Kemp, Texas through Last Chance Direct Ship Horses and was saved from shipping to slaughter.
Lucky had a horrific eye injury and was in serious need of medical attention. After multiple vet visits and tests we found out that Lucky's eye injury was actually a tumor. The tumor had ruptured his eye. Our plan was to have the tumor removed but when we arrived for surgery Dr. Brown from the Texas Tech University of Veterinary Medicine found additional tumors in other areas of Lucky's body. The cancer had spread and Lucky was suffering and had been suffering for some time. We decided that Lucky's suffering had gone on long enough and we chose to say goodbye. That was the hardest decision we had to make. If you haven't seen the lives of Lucky, I will post a link below.
That night when we got home from the vet, Cory happened to go to Bowie's website and there were two Belgians posted and their ship dates were just around the corner. The foundation had raised money to pay for Lucky's surgery, since the surgery didn't happen we decided to use the funds raised to save these two beautiful healthy horses. This video is about everything they have been up to since we brought them back to our farm. Welcome (officially) to the family Lena and Dutch!
We hope you enjoy this video! Make sure you subscribe to our channel so you don't miss anything happening around here! Because it's never a dull moment!

[@angelacalais6449]

Why in God's name would anyone be so hateful and cruel as to mark two such beautiful and gentle horses to be destroyed. May whom 😊ever did this rot in Hell after a long unhappy, painful and miserable life.🤬

[@larrymunden1753]

Thank you for bring attention to the kill pens. I was totally ignorant of this sad situation. Bless you for rescuing these amazing horses.

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

I was the same way! I had no idea what was happening to these animals!

[@fionajane56]

Kill pens are a necessity in the real world. Keeping horses is expensive care horrendous. It's a waste of resources to just bury carcasses. Horse meat is used in a lot of pet foods and actually is eaten all over the world. Instead of rescuing two or three here and there, perhaps steps should be taken to destigmatize the horse slaughter industry and make it more humane and better. Canada has done just that, with safe and ethical treatment of meat horses. There are two sides to every story.

[@littlewiseowl4405]

@fionajane56 There are more than 2 sides, which is part of the problem. Many US horses have drugs in their systems which disqualifies them as healthy meat. Pet, or humans. They have drugs bc they are lame, sick, or aggressive. Our system is broken. Owners and veterinarians need to put them down on site and not traumatized them more. Just another view here. Respectfully...

[@ginmar8134]

​@@fionajane56No, sometimes there's twenty seven sides to a story. How do we criticize the dog meat market when we treat another animal classified as a pet as meat instead?

[@KnightMoonShadow]

​​@@littlewiseowl4405gree! What needs to happen but most likely never will, is to regulate breeding so that we don't get inundated with all of these horses. I have been to a slaughter house and seen the process first hand. What I will say is that the horses are killed with a captive bolt. What I will also say, is that the horses in the slaughter pen's are in horrible condition. Horses are sold by weight, by the pound! This is a big reason why the drafts go to slaughter because they bring more $ due to size. With this being said, the absolute terrible condition these horses generally are in and to even consider them fit for dog food is disgusting! I won't even get started on OTTB'S, Off Track Thoroughbred.... Also, I'm sure the horse you pulled the shoes off is going to be something sore.

[@katioconnor5295]

The love triangles are so fun to watch as they shift daily.... y'all are exceptional folks for rescuing, documenting and sharing with us their journeys... ❤

[@jolynnhill8502]

Why would anyone with any empathy send perfectly good horses to a kill pen? Some humans are so hateful and some like your rescue is a God send. Thank you for saving as many as you can❤

[@littlewiseowl4405]

As long as there is a paying market & no other paying alternative, desperate or uncaring people will send their equines to auction where traders buy some of them for the meat market.

[@debbieappelhans9055]

Evil 😈 😮

[@SocialShires]

because people mostly want small, thin legged horses like in the movies. Drafts are not appreciated as much. It`s getting better though, saw 2 percherons giving rides at a ranch today

[@Sophiecjp]

They send the draft horses because they have grown to old to work. Mostly the Amish. If they have to pay to feed it then it best earn its weight. This is how farmers think. They are not pets they are like tractors. They do not see them as living souls. Very sad.

[@Ganpignanus]

yes the amish seem to figure quite prominently in animal abuse and sending to slaughter rescues. they need to improve their sense of compassion and reduced their sense of entitlement, exploitation and killing of animals becuase it seems very psychopathic.@@Sophiecjp

[@margaritacanincia1906]

It is heartbreaking to hear the donkey asking for help too! Make no mistake, animals know what is going on!

Thank you so much for the update! It’s so sad that two healthy horses almost lost their lives! So glad they were saved and are doing so good. To see Finn and Lena so close together is so sweet. They simply can be horses - with all of their needs met. All 13 ones have been the lucky ones! Including Lucky with his very own story. The campaign with the T-Shirts and Hoodies is a great idea!

[@annmarieschantz9724]

Quite the shinnaugnings going on there between all the horses!! Thanks for all you do for these amazing gentle giants!!

[@ClissaT]

ooo Lena is coming in season! She is checking out the guys. Looks like she likes Fin a lot as do the other ladies. Always sweet seeing them switch partners mid-season. Just shows that mares would like to be in control of their breeding also. Instead of being forced to tolerate which ever stallion we choose for them. Or insemination...... I really liked the way Lena trotted along beside the buggy without need for the halter. Just shows the quality of her training and how much she enjoys where she is now.

[@angip2333]

[@lindamarshall8279]

Due to their interactions, I wonder if Lena and Liam in fact came from the same farm, just at different times. This sort of mutual grooming usually only happens when horses know and trust each other. It’s so good these beautiful animals now have somewhere safe to live.

I really like to have horses get access to food all day. Some people use hay bags. What do you think? And as far as shoes are concerned, I’ve heard that many in the horse world aren’t fans (I hope you don’t mind questions). Another one-- lots of people prefer rope halters and avoid tying the horse unless a special clip was used to let the horse break free in an emergency. Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful work.

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

Our horses have access to food all day. In the winter we have square bales of hay out for them and even though the pasture is not green they still eat the grass out there. They also eat alpha pro 2 times per day.

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

I don’t prefer the rope halters. Our horses are so large that the rope halters don’t seem to fit well. Our horses are not in halters when they are here on the farm. Only if they are getting their hooves worked on or the vet is here and they are never left unattended.
