Harvey Specter, Mike Ross, Lilah & Stanley update after seeing the vet and starting retirement life.

[@gwenowens6727]

Do you ever get frustrated by the number of Belgian horses who end up in the slaughter pens?. From watching other rescues it seems like an never ending stream. The people mistreating, breeding them irresponsibly and then discarding them when they are too ill or worn down should be held accountable because this doesn't seem to have an end in sight. Its wonderful watching what you're able to achieve with these beautiful horses.

[@terrishepherd3266]

There is information about a petition to make it a law Not to ship horses out of the US. I’m pretty sure It’s on their website. The Big Hoof Foundation. It’s heartbreaking to see how these horses have been treated by the Amish especially.

[@ClaudiaThomas-c7d]

Horse Plus Humain in Tennessee are currently lobbying members of Congress to pass a law to end the slaughter pipeline. You should check them out.

[@btcrazee1]

It’s the same for many species.

[@gayledoyer5333]

As long as there is the Amish you will have have their horses always wind up in the slaughter pipeline.

[@kallykat]

It’s usually the Amish… old working horses or broken somehow. In places where there isn’t an Amish area there are much fewer Belgians.

[@1961Lara]

I am continuously amazed at how gigantic these horses are. Amazing!

[@JudySanza]

Oh the joy of not having to work all day with no rest or love. They are so well fed and loved now! ❤️

[@maryellis7622]

Stanley is such a handsome young man. Glad you were able to take him.

[@trippinggauntlet4520]

Delighted to see an update on the new guys and very pleased to hear they are as healthy as they can be considering their past. Many thanks as always for your care of these magnificent horses. 💜

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

Thank you so much!

[@hejnye]

The boys were so well behaved and relaxed at the vet. Everybody in for a nice tune up today!

[@awesomeRN2006]

@@FletcherFarmsAmarillo I wonder if the horses would benefit from a visit with an equine chiropractor, or maybe some accupuncture?

[@rachealsmith5138]

I absolutely love little Stanley! He looks so small in all of those big majestic drafts!!! I would be bursting every morning when I woke up if I got to see those beautiful babies, and I know every one of them are just bursting with happiness because they got to be on your farm!! Blessings to you and thank you for giving this update.❤😊❤

[@coleensouther7152]

I would have never known how gentle these giant horses are until I was able to watch one of your videos. Thank you for opening up our eyes to see how amazing and spectacular and gorgeous. They are and especially how truly gentle they are. They are now my number one favorite horses! God Bless you so much

[@MsDormy]

I think they are desensitized more than simply gentle. I think their spirits are broken by old fashioned methods of training.

[@geraldineclarke5434]

@@MsDormy I was around Belgians when I was a kid. The company my father worked for had a wonderful show team. They moved the starting gates at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park and did a lot of parades and other public performances. Their trainer was a wonderful, gentle man and the horses he trained were also extremely gentle. I was never afraid of them even though I was tiny in comparison and never had a problem. Helping their trainer with them gave me some of the greatest memories of my childhood.

[@matthewalexander2436]

Absolutely incredible what you guys are doing. Thank you all so much for loving these majestic horses.❤❤❤

Had a Morgan stretch out like that it was puzzling. Finally a new vet knew what it was he had a hernia. Stretching out gave him relieve. After surgery he recovered.

My lil Chiweenie is named Stanley. ❤ He's my best fellow. These horses have earned their spoiled retirement. ❤

[@suzanne529]

It makes me wonder if some of these horses have ever heard a kind voice or had belly scratches. Thanks for taking care of them in their retirement! It matters, they matter!!

[@jeanjones7486]

So glad Stanley's got a whole equine family around him and he's not having to stand out in the field all by himself

They all are so beautiful. I'd love to get ahold of the people who put those scars on them!! Thank you for taking them in!

[@suethompson1740]

And they dumped babies.😢 The youngest has been 4 years old. Why are these farms not under investigation? Thank you to all who have the heart to help. ❤😊

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

I don’t know why they aren’t investigating? Or why the livestock yards don’t have to report injuries or underweight horses. We definitely need someone to enforce cruelty laws!

[@NancyMyers-cn1ke]

Great Video!! Dr Doug Willen is an animal chiropractor who works on horses. He worked on a horse that had the same thing that Harvey has. He said he could not cure it but the chiropractic treatment gave him relief. You never know it might work. Thanks again

[@sherylbartlett3871]

Hi Julie - Boy-Oh-Boy....once the "New" horses arrive from the kill pen and get a chance to relax & settle in, they truly look like the Majestic animals they are! When they finally realize they are "Retired" and don't have to work hard or be abused anymore their whole demeanor changes and that's when their eye softens and that allows them to begin to trust & love humans. God bless everyone who helps out at Fletcher Farms.❤😊❤

[@topcat32349]

watching those big boys going through the doorways made me tense. When I had my own place I had a 17’2” Quarter horse (papered). I was in a back room of my house when I heard my little daughter saying “Come on!” She was trying to get my big horse through the dining room door. He had a history of rearing in start gates so you can imagine what I thought! Fortunately, he was good at backing on word command which he did for me. 😅

[@penelopesheehan5927]

It’s so nice to see sweet little Stanley among the big drafts! Since so many cast-out standardbreds are Amish buggy horses, he probabably feels right at home with the big boys and girls.

[@btcrazee1]

These poor horses have been so abused and neglected. You do wonderful work. They are living their best life there. I love Stanley, go glad he has the donkeys.

Seeing them eating treats for the first, I'm assuming was priceless! You know, Julie, they MUST HAVE been really abused! I can not imagine going thru most of their lives w Sharp teeth and aching feet! The one, that puts his feet out and shakes, omg! That freaked me out! Never, have I seen such fear demonstrated like that!💔 Thk the Lord, they are w you for the remainder of their lives! Great job!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️🐎❤️🙏🙏🥰 Ps...Stanley is beautiful!

[@Teresa-tg8nw]

Ahh, Stanley trying to find his place. Thank you sooo much for rescuing him. Stanley somehow knew you were his best bet for survival. Got to admire his gentle tenacity. The various sizes of the horses are amazing. Think Harvey Specter is 18 hands? Wait, no, Liam is 18 hands so Harvey is taller!He’s a magnificent horse. Wonderful to see how well everyone’s doing. Revisited one of Liam’s videos again. His arthritis sure didn’t stop him from exploring, limping about the barn without a care in the world. 😂 Horses are rather comical. ❤🤗

[@ellenwheat3608]

Hi Julie, I want to let you know that I am a constant subscribed viewer of your wonderful videos and stories about the noble horses you passionately rescue and care for, although I am no longer able to donate. My circumstances have changed drastically after my husband fought cancer for over 4 years and then mercifully passed away after all that pain and suffering. His business tanked during his illness. At 83, I am retired and living off social security and his VA benefits, which is just enough. I cherish your dedication and caretaking, and eagerly watch with everyone and savor the horses rest and pleasure after their hard lives. I wish I could donate but I’m now just making it carefully. My eternal appreciation for your angelic work, both you and your husband, and also your wonderful staff and associates. Keep on keepin’ on gal. You’re the best!❤😊

Julie, please check with your Vet to see if an MSM supplement would help your arthritic "kids". My friend in Illinois has 3 22+ year olds that she gives it to & they have less pain. I even started taking it & have less pain. I just hate to see them cripping around, especially after the lives they had before the Eden of your farm! It's worth a try...
