For the love of a farrier....

[@HughLlewellyn]

I'm horrified by the feet and legs of the two surrenders who had to have been neglected for YEARS. I'm also horrified that there was a third horse left behind with the same people. What will the palomino's fate be, I wonder? I hope authorities are aware. There need to be more laws with enforcement and accountability to protect animals from horrific neglect like this. There's no excuse.

[@HughLlewellyn]

​@@xoselhket The laws differ state by state. And even when there are laws, there isn't adequate enforcement most of the time. There just aren't enough resources or trained officers to step in and hold abusers accountable. So abuse and neglect continue.

[@barbadosantigua1]

Are you having a laugh Biden got you all in the poor house@@xoselhket

[@ronelchadwick7110]

Who ever owned these horses need to be in prison.

[@terrywereb7639]

Not more laws. Just enforce the ones already in place.

[@HughLlewellyn]

@@terrywereb7639 Yes more laws. It's currently legal in Tennessee for any idiot with a knife to castrate their animals in filthy environments, with no anesthetics. Definitely MORE LAWS are needed. AND enforcement.

[@Spacetwerp]

There is no punishment tough enough for anyone who would allow an animal to get into that state. Thank God for people like you.❤❤❤

[@cinder7183]

Heartbreaking to see such veautiful animals in such distress. Thank you to those who are being kind to them

[@pamfesi5054]

[@melissaspake7727]

What breaks my heart as much as those horrible feet, is that they KEPT ONE. If they let the two get in such horrible condition you already know the fate of the palomino who was left behind

@@PonyTalesRefuge Well thank goodness for that. Hopefully, the new owners will be able and willing to take care of that 3rd horse properly.

Watching the video, sent shivers down my spine! I wish you could hear me scream my anger at these owners. As Hugh Llewellyn said there is NO EXCUSE for this!

[@wandaseward8547]

😢 breaks my heart to see how bad the feet and legs are. Prayers something can be done to help them.

[@rachelmerz2122]

Ooooooh these babies with the overgrown hooves absolutely broke my heart! Their bravery and willingness to even try getting on and off the trailers was amazing. Bless all of you for doing what you are doing. I just want to hug all of you!

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I’m surprised the owners don’t even attempt to take a rasp to those feet. Doing a bad job can mess up the biomechanics of a horse but it’s better than letting them get that far grown

[@liv0003]

I am completely ignorant about horses, so I ask myself what happens to the hooves of wild horses, since no one takes care of them? Do they become like the ones these poor horses have in the video??

[@Karen-he7nc]

This breaks my heart ..poor babies ..such beautiful majestic animals ...at least they are in the right hands now ..bless you for your kindness xx

[@maggsbufton1969]

I’m absolutely SHOCKED 😢 how people can mistreat their horses ; WHY even have a horse if they weren’t prepared to be responsible for their proper care and attention? These horses should have surrendered years ago! For any horse to be so mistreated , neglected is CRUEL. The first horse was LEFT ALONE with a halter on that destroyed the nerves in his face and was deprived of the company of other horses for over twenty years, just breaks my heart; although I would not want other horses in the “care” ( lack thereof) of this owner. It makes me so very angry that people would neglect and abuse these beautiful mammals. The ASPCA should be informed and should be charging them with animal abuse to ensure an order was issued that banned them from EVER owning ANY animals at all! You ladies have hearts of gold and it’s clear you love horses as much as I do. Thank goodness you ladies are there to give these horses much deserved love, medical attention and comfort and a better life and if necessary, end their suffering. God Bless you all. ❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻 Addendum: Nothing smells better than a horse, except your parents, your husband and your children… ❤

[@antoniajuel9582]

Well, wasn't this episode a dark one? I can't help but think the rainbow bridge awaits several of these horses. And for at least two of them it could have been prevented. Tragic. Thank you for everything you do. These horses would have been much worse off without you.

That's beyond neglect ( those feet), that's abuse. So glad they are with you❤.

[@hazelkagey6739]

This channel showed up on my YT feed for the first time. I have seen horse videos with vibrant animals and just amazed at their beauty and strength. This one reached a spot in my heart where saddness lives. Many comments mentioned how the animals were neglected. Only one preivious owner was seen from the back. To me it seems as if possibly owners may all have been older and may have become unable to care for their animals. But rather than dig huge holes and shoot them they may have wanted to give the animals a chance at some kind of better life. I have never owned a horse and can only imagine how much it cost to care for them. I'm 74 myself and my body is damaged too. It is always so easy to condemn someone else. Too bad our world has come to that. I am thankful you young ladies have the ways and means to take in these gorgeous creatures and the young vet who is so dedicated is marvelous. I thank God that he put in your hearts the love and ability to do all you do. If I was an old mare--- I would count my blessings to be there with you. I would thank my old owners for giving me a chance to live. May God bless you all. And I didn't quite catch where the two mares were taken to but they may have been the least hurt. Take care all of you. I'm looking forward to seeing how the younger female with the overgrown hoves comes along and if she's in foal. Wouldn't that be fantastic to see her be able to care for her little one? I am going to subscribe and look forward to a spring birth! Seeing the ends of their lives still gives hope.

These animals are so beautiful and smart. I've been on a horse a handful of times so I'm not the biggest expert but I know that the work that they've done for us as humans is unmeasurable. We should always be taking care of them. This was sad to see. Also, my favorite was Wrinkles in that he wasn't mean but he was letting you know he was in charge lol

There's not a bad enough place in hell for anyone who perpetrates that level of neglect. Thank goodness you are there to give them all a safe haven. ❤

[@SMcCaskill]

It may be because the owners became sick, too elderly, or suddenly passed away. Don't judge until you know all the facts.

[@deirdreshaw2761]

At least they surrendered them, and didn't send them to auction or a kill pen!

[@csydney]

It breaks my heart to see the damage they have done to these sweet souls ~ to see their fear and lack of confidence ...if they could only know that their future now has hope. The kindness and care they're receiving on this day is probably more than they have experienced in the last 10 years. May each of these sweet souls and their rescuers receive an abundance of Heaven's blessings ❣️

[@wakingohiomama9110]

I absolutely love what you ladies are doing! The only advice I have would be not to have too many people trying to capture these horses at one time.

[@alexgarza7486]

It breaks my heart to see how people treat animals.

@trudypowell8303 Yes, but Tawnnee gave them a "scholorship" of sorts to help them get better organized. And they came to Pony Tales to give it to them. Then Pony Tales went to Tennessee and watched an intake, and how everything was done there so that they could implement some of it at Pony Tales. That's where MY comment came from.

for horse with hoof issues like this, try keeping a small gravel or gravel and sand pile so a horse can walk out at the same level as floor then gently walk down a slope. My horse just would not jump up or down from a step trailer and the gravel mound solved it with no stress on the horse.
