Emergency situation with the new mare we rescued last week Lot 9937...this is what happened Ep. 61

Episode 61
A few weeks ago, we rescued another Belgian Draft Horse from Bowie Texas Livestock, lot# 9937. The mare, who we named Amara (Pronounced ah-MAR-ah) looked to have have some injuries on her left side and was possibly lame on her back left leg. We knew she needed medical attention but to what extent was the question. From the livestock yard video it looked like she had a large black spot on her back side. When I called Bowie I was told it was from rubbing in the trailer during transport.
When we arrived to pick her up her situation was much worse than we expected. She had abrasion all over her left side and most of the skin on the left side of her face had come off. The black spot on her back side was definitely not from rubbing in the trailer as you could see under the skin. I sent a video to Dr. Waggoner at Mobile Veterinary Practice as we headed straight to her office so we could get Amara the medical attention she needed.
After getting her to the vet, getting her home and adjusted to her new life of retirement an emergency situation arose a few days later. I went out to the barn to feed everyone yesterday and Amara was laying down and would not get up. Any horse owner knows that a horse that will not get up on their own is a very serious situation.
This video shows Cory and I picking Amara up from the livestock yard, getting her home and what happened after we found her laying in the barn yesterday. We will keep you updated as to her situation as much as we can. Thank you for watching and make sure you subscribe to our channel so you don't miss anything happening here on the farm.
A HUGE thank you AGAIN to our veterinarians!!! Dr Waggoner at Mobile Veterinary Practice and Dr Amber at Claude Veterinary Hospital. With all the animals we have had throughout our life, these horses receive the best medical attention from these two phenomenal doctors! WE don't know what we would do without y'all!

Her eyes look so much brighter after the IV. She's so thin, I can't begin to imagine her past life with humans. In my 59 years I've become extremely cynical and hardened to human plight - when all that animals silently ask is to be tended to. God bless you and your husband Julie.

I so much agree with you on this! As I'm approaching 60, it's getting a lot harder to find caring and trustworthy people. This horse rescue is run by angels! A whole lot can be learned from them. All I have is my 2 fur babies, and I feel very fortunate to have them and spoil them. ❤❤❤

[@k9khodi363]

She is sick. She was also in an accident involving asphalt, probably went down while pulling a buggy on a road. It's possible an amish family was hurt and/or killed as well. I assume you don't eat eggs, chicken, beef or use any products or medicines that involve animal testing. If so, that's amazing. If not, consider the suffering you participate in indirectly.

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

I don't understand how people do this to animals either. It breaks my heart. She is getting excellent care and we will try and keep everyone updated as soon as we can on her progress.

[@LtBRS]

@Jim Dempsey Most modern people reject (like the Amish and Mennonites) the Catholic understanding that all living things have a soul that enables that living thing's life functions. The difference being human soul's are eternal. God-haters maintaining the scam-stablishment's biological materialism not only can't affirm that, they also can't account at the metaphysical level for the ethic they use as human beings. Treatment/behavior "conclusions" always reflect a person's worldview "assumptions". As the opposite is true in the good sense, false (anti-Logos) assumptions ALWAYS lead to non-virtious action conclusions in the bad sence. It's how all of us "image and likeness" bearers function (like it or not) and is expressed in every aspect of our socially-engineered, dumbed-down and degenerate man-centric (human supremacist) society at EVERY level.

[@ginmar8134]

My kitties want to know why I'm petting and kissing them so much. The mention of "dehydration" is chilling because----sorry for the anecdote----all my kitties are ex feral, old, and ill. Cats are picky about water and it can kill them, so I fill their fountains with spring water. People can die from dehydration, too, because it can really sneak up on you. Horses are surprisingly delicate, so I'd be shocked if a horse like Amarra didn't feel it especially hard if that makes sense. Horses are big puppies, like I said. They can feel emotions, too. I'm sure all the love she's getting now is kind of startling to her. Her bones sticking out like that are kind of shocking, too. Baby girl needs her strength. You need to remember to take care of yourselves, too, all you lovely people.

[@elizabethhannah4704]

People treat animals and their fellow humans so very badly because they have NO SOULS.

I'm a 77 year old man. Had some nasty physical issues and couldn't move. My family stuck with me and was always there talking to me. You wouldn't believe how much that meant to me. I think what you were doing with Amara talking and stroking her, to her you were her family. I'm sure that meant everything to her. I could see how it meant for you as well. Your heart to these abused animals goes way beyond just feeding watering and brushing and meds. Those animals can feel what's inside of you.

You are so right about a down horse is a dead horse. This past December the day after Christmas my 41 yr old quarter horse was a and we tried everything to to get him up. Nothing worked. I had to call the vet to put him to sleep. I raised him from my mare and he was like my middle child. This is the first time in 58 yrs that i haven't had a horse. This was my fist one to have to put to sleep.. I'm still grieving. You are amazing to rescue this gentle giants. Keep up the great work, for they have no voice only yours 👍

You were put on this earth to help the helpless, to speak for the voiceless and you couldn’t do a better job than you’re doing right now. On days where you feel low, know we are holding you up. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you give, you’re incredible. I’m so sorry I can’t do more than thank you right now. I’m a stage IV breast cancer patient (terminal).

Hi Julie, thank you for rescuing this poor soul. I’m wondering if you cant report the state of this mare to an animal agency, like the RSPCA. They should have the right to get the previous owners details from the sales barn. Hopefully then these hateful cruel people can be charged with animal cruelty. Our hearts are with you and Corey and all of the horses.

[@Nutmeg142]

We don’t have the RSPCA and we have the ASPCA and if it happened in a different state not much can be done. Honestly though, many animal rights groups are going too far and wanting to limit animal use instead of help and if it was an Amish horse that’s a whole different ball of wax.

❤ Dr. Julie: "A down horse is a dead horse!" You called it right about Amara not being able to stand up after that left hind leg fell asleep after being down on it for so long. Dr. Amber said the wounds were "superficial" and immediate doctoring started with cleaning and wound dressing. Your medical interventions are so timely and are saving these beautiful Belgians. ❤ Dr. Waggoner at MVP easily inserted that nose hose for electrolytes for "mild pneumonia" and then the IV for "dehydration." ❤Yay! Dr. Cory, you called it right on the dehydration. Thank y'all ahead of time for going forward with the x-rays of Amara's legs and the blood work. After the mention of the "mild colic," there was no more on that. Hope that continues! My observation is that you're running just to stay in place, to play catch-up as Amara had no medical or health care wherever she was before. Shame of the previous owners who worked her, almost to death, causing that black spot in the first place on her rump. The doc cleaned it, and the scab fell off. ❤❤❤"Well Bless Your Heart" is the perfect t-shirt, Julie, for YOU!

Amara looks like a real sweet horse. A gentle giant. I think she is going to make someone a great horse.

[@kristenkylemack9477]

Sweet girl. Thanks for taking such good care of her. I think between her accident & the stress of traveling here & there before you rescued her. She got stressed dehydrated & sore. Not feeling well. She looked more comfortable. She might need some Chiropractor work. Might have some trauma from her fall. Some adjustment would do her good! I sure helps me when I get knocked out of place! Keeping her in my prayers!

[@ruthbickerstaffe1915]

That is so disgusting that these people can treat their hard working animals so cruelly. How do they treat their children, if they treat their horses so badly. These people should be charged. Thank you for being so loving and kind to these beautiful horses. Bless you all 🙏💗💗

[@lindadee4348]

I truly hope she is alright. You guys are so amazing. I don't have a lot of money, but I will try to send you some real soon. God bless you all for what you are doing

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

Thank you so much! This was an older video, there is another update on Amara.

[@debstokes7439]

Precious girl and she is still so sweet and docile in spite of bad care. So happy you rescued her!!

[@claudiayoung3627]

God Bless you for helping this horse. Truly amazing. Best of luck and I hope she gets back to being normal again!

There was another update on Amara after this one.

SHE IS ONE beautiful Belgian.

[@CarrieLamb-pb6if]

My heart goes out to Mira, she is absolutely beautiful! I wish people would treat their animals the way they would want to be treated. Any animal has feelings and feel pain like we do, they just want love and be taken care of. They have an unconditional love and we as humans need to embrace that. I'm so happy there are people like you, that rescue horses, we need more like you! Thank you for sharing her with us and keep up the good work❣️ Carrie from Washington state

You have my dream job! Grew up with horses and 4-H. Thank you for what you do! ❤❤❤❤

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

Poor thing! How can people let this happen to her! God bless her and bless you for helping her! Praying that she has the best possible outcome. I just hate that the previous owners don’t provide you with all the information you need!

[@danamelby4090]

Wow she was in bad shape when you got her I'm glad you rescued her she in much better home now with lots of love and good care

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

Thank you! We are so glad we were able to save her!

[@RedHybiscus]

I can’t bring my mind to the events that created those physical wounds. Those wounds are often mentally and emotionally beyond devastating- I am thankful that you were there in the nick of time to breathe hope into this precious horse’s life...🙏🏼😘

[@jeanpeters163]

[@user-ln8hp4vt5z]

Thank you Hero’s 🙏. Be well sweet Amara 🙏.

[@jessicamacfarlane2761]

Amara is a lovely name for her.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Bless her heart she has been through so much it's so sad plus she looks so thin. I am so glad she is at the Vet's and under observation. She probably needs a horse Chiropractor and body adjustments since she had a bad fall. God Bless you for taking such good care of her.

[@skidaddle32]

I’m sending you guys love and light as well as powerful prayers that Amara pulls through. You are ALL rockstars for helping this horse to recover and hopefully live her absolute best life moving forward. 🌺

[@donnasmith9939]

How frightening for all of you! Hope you can determine what’s going on inside. Hugs to you all.
