Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue

[@lindakunz83]

I used to drive a carriage downtown Galveston and the horses were well taken care of by both companies and I've ridden these horses I've ridden a Belgian I read in the Clydesdale and a shire and let me tell you the best riding horses I ever have they don't spook easy they're easy going a comfortable ride and my goal is to adopt a gentle giant needing a home eventually but thank God for these people God bless you ever get a chance to come out there I'd love to come out and spend time with you all on the horses but the gentle Giants are this sweet and kind horses and like you said they deserve to be loved and have a happy life

Do people also rescue cows? when I was 12 years old I raised a steer from a baby. It showed love, it played with me, it demonstrated emotion(could tell when he was angry or happy or) would lay down with me and was lonely when I was away- I remember when I would get off the bus after school- he was always so happy to see me. He was smart and demonstrated a thinking process not incompletely unlike any other animal.... When he was almost 2 years old- I had to let it go, and he was sold for beef slaughter. I was heartbroken.. all the way to this day. I hope there are people who rescue cows too

[@bigredc222]

Every animal responds to love. It leaves a hole in your heart, sorry you lost him.

[@heromudd3406]

I am sorry for your loss. I had a pet cow too.

[@tvd9015]

People rescue cows by going on a plant based diet. Everything else is futile

[@j.elizabeth4621]

There are absolutely rescues who rescue cows. I’m so sorry about your friend.

[@ChroniclesofAlicha_Balaam]

Yes, They do...Find them!!! Do an online search...Heal ur heart, Friend!!!

Draft horses are awesome. We have a Shire mare that I brought home when she was 4 months old. Former owners didn't want her because she only had 3 white socks and the 4th was black. When first visiting her, she bonded with me instantly. When I left to go bring back my horse trailer, she carried-on a bit as I was leaving, and she became excited when I returned. We soon got a 4-month-old Morgan filly because she didn't get along too well with her barn mates. She and the Shire mare are best buddies today.

[@bubblegumloading__________7817]

The sweetest horse I’ve ever known was a beautiful chestnut draft horse who we got from an auction after he aged and couldn’t plow anymore. Was very gentle guy as a girl felt like riding an elephant, now I know how we probably saved him from becoming meat ; bless these badass ladies

[@wigglypaw]

I take in old drafts. Right now we have a 22 year old flea bitten white Percheron who I named Shorty. This is their forever home when they come here. His pal is Micky, a 22 year old Dressage and former Hunt grand champion, who has cysts in his back joints. There’s always room for more. Our farm is in western Michigan by Grand Rapids. I am also on the board for Great Lakes Mastiff Rescue, and we always have a few Mastiffs galumping around. Most of them were abandoned by their families when the dog might have eaten the couch, or took a potty in their house. Mastiffs absolutely cannot exist by themselves . Their entire being is to have the family together and the more the happier they are. 🐴

[@Christian_Girl120]

These horses are absolutely beautiful. They are the biggest teddy bears on the planet. I hate animal abuse and neglect. These animals do NOT deserve to be a meal for anybody. They deserve to be loved and cared for. Once they know they are safe they will come out of their shell. They're so much fun!

[@cgpapineau]

Bless your hearts! Tears are streaming down my face. My wife and I have provided a home for ten former racing greyhounds. We completely agree that the animals know they are rescued. I grew up around horses. Magnificent creatures!

[@sandypeachey5084]

Just beautiful thank you for being beautiful people to to these amazing animals Love from Darwin Northern Territory Australia🦋

[@Catlover-531]

Thank you for saving these beautiful, gentle giants.

[@gj9736]

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are doing. I have loved horses my entire life, I am 74 and miss so much to be around them. I long to hear their nickers, smell them and to be touching their velvety soft noses. Watching this video and what you are doing, gives me some hope again in humanity because I know of the blight that all horses are facing on a daily bases in this country and elsewhere. It breaks my heart what these majestic creatures have to endure, caused by our government and privately. Bless each and everyone of you that is involved with this rescue group, knowing that there are still people out there that are willing and able to safe these beautiful creatures from sure death, it just makes my day! 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@jasoncrane2415]

There's a special place in heaven for all of you for doing what you do. God bless you all.

[@leorichardson123]

Thank you for saving all those horses. Every horse deserves love.

[@aliviamiller5481]

Thank you for saving them.

[@sunshinehebert6545]

Y'all are awesome. I wish I lived within your adoption area!

[@Miss65boo]

This is an awesome organization! Keep up saving these magnificent horses!

[@jameslong2094]

You guys are awesome. Thank you for taking care of these precious horses. We owe them SO much (especially the drafts!) and yet this is how they get treated???? But if they end up in your hands.......phew! They can finish their life as they should. Thank you,

[@danaventura5998]

Thank you for being there for these gentle giants.

[@mauravdvelde5788]

You guys are my hero's and idols, and i can only dream of doing what you're doing later!

I agree. I love the, so much, and I donated. I often see them at the horse expo in Harrisburg, PA.

[@halefamily7553]

JustMe LivingLife I am so happy that people do this horses are my favorite animal and I would love to work there

[@aliviamiller5481]

I agree.😊

[@Piecemaker1623]

I agree. I was born with a strong live of horses and never was able to use it. How I would Love to do this work, even at age 55

[@ashleywilson9205]

Yeah my dream job

[@elorac321]

Well done ladies. I hope you’re still managing to do this incredible work throughout this crisis. Big love to you all ❤️

[@TheWorkingAussie]

I would so get a draft if I had money. I don't need to ride a horse, I just want a horse to love!!

[@TheWorkingAussie]

Nahodakk I stopped caring about humans a long time ago. So please have a seat.

[@mokko759]

Last time I checked, you can love animals and people. It's not a one or the other kind of situation.

[@mokko759]

My comment was actually directed at Nahodakk.

[@unicornfilms5047]

because there are 7 billion plus humans that are destroying our home and taking advantage of this that aren't meant to do what we make them do but there are other animals that have only 20 or so of them left. Sorry if i want to help animals replenish their lives to make them happy. Yes humans deserve attention to but not as much as animals most days so back off.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

Nahodakk, there are over 7 billion people on the planet. We are destroying it for other animals and plants. Like Hoping For The Day, I've stopped caring for people long ago. We are not an endangered species. So what if a few thousand die every day from war, hunger, what have you. There are at least that many babies born EVERY MINUTE to replace them.

[@Pink15181]

Can't wait to rescue Nick this weekend !!

[@ladyyuna2000]

You’re the true heroes in my heart and god bless you for saving these beautiful horses.

[@judylee3589]

What an amazing group of volunteers! Thank you!

[@rautaranka]

Drafts are my favourite type of horse, and seeing these amazing people care for them really warms my heart.

[@amycrouse5024]

I have a throughbread she was badly abused and I fell in love with him frome the moment I saw him .I hope you guys give theses horses the best care

[@zezeandjr4110]

I wish I had the land to own one, I'll do it in a heart beat, feed them, take care of them and just watch them run, what a lovely animal.

[@deniserippee6741]

Great job Christine and thanks goodness for kind hearted people like you and your volunteers to save these magnificent horses.

[@jennifermacarthur9369]

Thank you for saving these beautiful souls ❤️

[@glynisk1]

You do a grand job! like you we have an issue with over breeding of horses, owners who are irresponsible, but gentle giants are much loved! I learnt to ride on my uncles shire, so keep on doing what you do!

[@adelezierler1547]

Very touching video. I am so glad to see how you care!

[@LisaPelletier]

I rescued an OTTB that surely would have gone into the slaughter pipe line. I have also owned a draft as well. I've had some spectacular horses in my life. It saddens me the over breeding that takes place around the world. But you know even 1 life saved is a win for that horse.

[@eboneeladynns7689]

it's so nice to see these wonderful horses being given a second chance at life and I hope they find loving new homes such a great job you guys are doing x

[@jackiebrenick7170]

You have such a wonderful vision and to be honest, this brought me to tears. Please, please keep up your work!!! I know it can be hard, but your cause is so amazing and if I wasn't all the way across the country, I'd be right there with you volunteering :')

[@kaymcguire7685]

[@jodifloria6647]

Draft horses are special. Good job u do and know ur appreciated for saving such wonderful animal.. I love drafties best . Always did . Even as a small child going to royal winter fair in Toronto.. I was drawn to big drafties.so small and I had no fear to go in the stall and pet them ..

[@Christian_Girl120]

I wish there was a draft horse rescue around me. I would be good at giving TLC and love, letting them know they are safe. Drafts are beautiful animals, and their personalities are so different and so sweet and loving. They love attention and deserve to live out the rest of their lives with love, other horse friends and great food and lots of play time! LOL! It's awesome to see how wonderful these horses are doing. What you see is what you get with them.

[@jillianknopp1530]

you guys are amazing!!! Your right they don't have a voice and us, the horse lovers/ riders have to be there voice to give them a good life!

[@marilynmccormack5905]

Brilliant people. Thank you so much for what you do for these beautiful 🐎 horses X

[@shelbyc.5155]

Thank you so much for everytging you do! I almost started crying!

[@ThePathoftheWhiteRose]

Good people doing good things in our world. Sometimes we need to see these stories and be reminded of that.

[@carlyblake9834]

I wish I was there with u I love the way u all connect with the horses and the way they trust u I just wish more people would do what u do and understand xx

[@isabelleburdge4308]

I love this place! I volunteered here.

[@stevelee4653]

[@music_wolfsoul129]

I'm starting to think of doing volunteering here just to be with the horses and take care of them I loved horses all my life and even my aunt has a horse or two I love to hang with so just for the sake of these horses I will volunteer at this farm with them. SAVE AND PROTECT ALL HORSES!! ;)

[@123owlnight]

You guys are great people! You save these horses that need your help!!

[@chicaine4915]

This is amazing, we need more people to do this sort of work for horses. Horses do not deserve half the stuff they go through, they are supposed to be wild and free but we have changed them over years. It is like we are just controlling them, and they have no say in the matter. I LOVE horses so much, and it makes me so happy that rescue centres do what they do.

[@wakaka2waka]

+EquiiCaine They're extremely different from their wild ancestors now though. Modern horse breeds are giants compared to their ancestors.

[@chicaine4915]

: )

[@omarahtopaz]

There are still wild horses in the world, and some are protected.

[@na-ok7gv]

OUTSTANDING job guys! KEEP IT GOING!! Thank you for saving lives and souls. God Bless you all.

Thank you Gentle Giant volunteers and staff!!!

[@WornoutRNPARAMEDIC]

May GOD BLESS all the golden hearted animal rescue people as well as the golden hearted people who try to save cast off children.

[@theresabrown5413]

thank you and God bless you

[@cyndifoore7743]

God bless you all. I am a horse lover and love what you’re doing, wish I could volunteer.

[@dakotahstr]

You all are the horses heroes. God bless you all. I would love to volunteer. Looking for places up here. My dad was a horse whisperer to me. He never believed in whips or forcing horses.

[@yvonnepagan9912]

Wonderful job you all do, ladies! Keep doing wot you do. Life is not all about making money. Making things better makes more sense!

[@XXforeverblue]

Proud draft horse owner

[@heddawessman3173]

Poor horses! Idc i will take them all! They are so cute!

[@hosaylover1015]

This is what I want to do with my life and I have been told so many times that is not worth it. It is so inspirational to see someone else doing it.

[@Instrument_of_Peace]

Kudos for helping the amazing animals!! I'm in tears!! How can I help?

[@isaiahkemp5461]

Great things you guys are doing I would love to come hang out with you guys for a day

[@owlowl1884]

I wish I had known about this rescue when I lived in that area. I adopted an old Belgian and he was a great friend.

[@pattihanson7921]

Can’t believe (well unfortunately I can but wish I didn’t) that a Norwegian Fjord horse was there. For someone to go to the effort to track down such a rare breed and then neglect them is astonishing.

[@Catlady77777]

You have my thanks & my love.

[@Ganpignanus]

nice work. lovely to see this kindness. and practical solution to yet nother human made problem.

[@HereIAm247]

Just remember that it may be some humans who create problems, but there are also humans out there trying to fix them. Just before you antagonise all humans.

[@cjpowers9330]

There is nothing wrong with being a plow horse. And all working draft horses are not neglected or ill treated.

[@dragonryderslair]

Amen. I have 1 of them. Fat, slick and dappled. Has a job EVERY DAY.

[@salty7056]

You are wonderful people to do what you do. Thank you!

[@pitbulls4life141]

This is the best rescue video ever!

[@Shomanchik]

Different countries, different cultures. There are some places on earth where horses are bred for meat. But your job is awesome. Doing great things for those animals who are in need.

[@lex.cordis]

@Smileyrie James Same goes for ANY animal. They all suffer the same. Culture does not make something moral over here, but not okay over there. It's never okay.

[@Christian_Girl120]

These horses are awesome, awesome animals. They are sweet and have personalities on them that won't quit. Many are very playful and just love to be around people. It's disgusting that these other people mistreat and kill them for profit. They deserve to have a wonderful life and be treated with Love, treats, and other good things. Thank God for those of you who take care of these guys.

[@Christian_Girl120]

I wish I had a draft horse rescue near me. I would love to volunteer and spend time with them. They deserve that.

[@ElSueno97]

I would love to work there. Drafts are my favorite

[@jencaisse7392]

Hobby to passion to obsession. Perfect!

OMG THIS IS SO CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE. I. AM. GOING. TO. VISIT. THEM. I SWEAR IT.
