Horse Rescue Tales from the Tundra - S1-E1

[@jillking5876]

Poor, beautiful Claire. People often suck, but at least when it was time for her to go over the rainbow bridge, she left knowing that she was treasured by humans, not just abused and abandoned. Thank you for helping her go. Hopefully, her friend, Stout, will find a new buddy to keep him on the right path.

[@sharonhooks9071]

You girls and guys are amazing! Thank you so much for all you do,you’re all angels.❤️🙏

[@barbarajgosselin6797]

Pauly you are A magnificent ferrie!❤❤❤❤❤

[@melodienaber3238]

God bless you for helping save 🙏 ❤ these precious fur babies.

[@suevasick9980]

Lovely episode; thanks for all you do. I ran a rescue for a few years, it can be heartbreaking but also extremely rewarding. I did get very sad over the loss of sweet Clare; at least in her final days she knew the love that she obviously did not have before you.

[@nutstonytiger]

Thanks!

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Thank you!

[@chuckyknarf3849]

Your videos are getting better, they look more polished…well done 😊

[@randybutler4772]

Such hard work in this weather. Thank you for sharing.🐴

[@barbarajgosselin6797]

All I can say is Thank God for Nate, he is a handy well rounded man!❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@shirleyrice7093]

Well, . . . the snow and ice are pretty. I used to watch mine gallop and frolic when it was cold. It warmed them. I miss them so much.

[@GoodGrief10]

A good farrier is like a miracle worker

[@joerudnik9290]

I’m in northern IL and we bought additives ( hollow glass beads) to add to paint, to provide insulation. Some areas of our home we put 5-8 coats. About 10 years ago the furnace died in a 35 below wind chill. It never got below 60 F.So I highly recommend you investigate the multiple types of insulative materials.

[@YlvaWinter]

Great job to you all. It was a nice episode (sad for Claire though). I am looking forward to the next

[@kristiwetsel9531]

So sorry about Claire 😔 I can't imagine the pain she was in .., you're pain free now sweetheart run free!

[@gayday1655]

More please, this was great.

[@claudialunden3691]

Paulie, you are a hero. But when you say “ people suck”, sure; but the way I look at it, you’re people. You definitely don’t suck. God bless Claire a help her partner.

[@eileenh4772]

New subscription. Great vet explanation helpful. Farrier explains helpful. Thank you❤

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tracym6297]

I'm so sorry about Claire. It's a shame because it could have been prevented with basic hoof care. I was looking at the black horse by the fence around 10 or so minutes in. It looks like a Morgan. Very pretty. They are all beautiful. That Appy mare is going to feel so much better. 🙂

[@kathybradbury]

I think with animals bonded to each other, they can cope with the loss better if they see their buddy has passed.

[@katkimball3754]

Poor babies! Thank you for your amazing gift of love and determination.

[@Katseye102]

Clare just broke my heart ❤️. Such a cute gentle little mini! I hope her partner Stout (?) was that his name? I really hope he will be ok. I’m sure you will give him lots of loves and hugs. Keep doing what your doing, it means so much to all your horses. Take care ❤️❤️❤️😊

[@leeangus1839]

Hey guys I am really sorry about Clair she was a cute little mini. I wish something could help. My deepest condolences to all of yous. Who try to fix her. My prayers and thoughts are with all of yours. RIP little Clair. All my love to all.

[@ricklaurelnovotny4829]

I agree what is wrong w these dumb asses!!! How can one be so heartless!

[@Liz-M]

Great video. 🐎🐎🐎👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@tracyjohnson2992]

This is the first time i have watched this channel and i have to say people do not know how hard it is to work in a rescue. it is heart warming but it is also devastating. not just with horses but for all animals. People just don't understand an attachment you get with your animals you rescue. I have rescued all my animals i have had except for two of them who were born from the two i had rescued. Animals love us unconditionally no mater what size they are or what species they are. People who own or work for or volunteer for have hearts of gold but it also plays on your emotions to its like being on a roller coaster where there are highs and then lows. Horses get attached to each other also when i saw the X-rays on little Claire i knew there was nothing that they could do for her. That is the hardest part of the rescues is letting go for the sake of that poor pony's pain and suffering something the owners should have dealt with instead they gave her up so someone else can foot the bill for her care. Why do owners do that well i have my theories. Claire had been suffering for a very long time bless her he feet must have been extremely painful for her but she didn't complain she just took it and lived with it. this is what breaks my heart. having to say good bye to such a sweet little girl. How many times have i heard in my life "well its just an animal they don't have feelings they do not understand its just a dumb animal". This is usually the part where i loose my temper. Animals are far from dumb, they feel pain just like the rest of us humans, they probably understand more about you than your willingness to understand them and they need us as much as we need them. I have loved horses my whole life and to see an animal suffering like Claire and many other horses and farm animals domestic pets and even the wild animals all have the right to live. I gave up eating any kind of meat because i saw how animals have been treated by humans. there are thousands of ways you can find things like this out on You tube, undercover filmography, news paper clippings animal rescues and help clear some of the things they see every day. It is always shocking to me how people who say they love animals and then leave an animal injured or don't give them the basics to care for them. they get beaten why? because they do not understand the question being asked of them people getting frustrated enough to beat an animal should not have an animal ever. Do your homework before getting any kind of animal work out what you have to buy for that animal, accessories, tack, toys, food, accommodation, to most of us this is common sense but there are some people out there where common sense is like a different language foreign. Id you are not going to do your homework on the animal that you want then don't get an animal because that animal will only be worse off for it. There is too much ignorance out there if it doesn't affect me then i do not need to know, well that is the mindset that ends up putting these horses and other animals in a worse state. Look at the result of little Claire's life and the other horse pacing up and down in a panic looking for her wondering where she is. My guess is they came from the same place and it is so heart breaking for the animals to have to go through this trauma for what, someone who couldn't do the right thing by the animal and give her the love and basic attention she needed to be able to live her best life and she died at such a young age, well that is the biggest sin of all.

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Well said

[@mariannekaminski5795]

It’s been a rough winter, in terms of health and weather😢

[@annpriddy7941]

Thanks for all you do for the horses. 💖

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Thank you so much!

[@astikennel]

Being involved with animal rescue for 35yrs now, I make it a point if theres a bonded pair or triplets and one cant be saved, the other needs to visit the body to understand they've crossed over so the unknown of 'where are they' never happens Poor Clair I cant imagine the pain she's lived with

[@judylee3589]

I was so excited when I saw this come up. I enjoyed almost all of it, except for the end... when Claire had to say goodbye. Thank you for looking out for her best interest and not letting her suffer any more. That's true love. I can't wait to see the next show... ya'll are so strong and amazing - thank you for looking out for the horses AND each other!!!!

[@sisswift8423]

Thank you for helping the animals. May the good Lord bless you all for your kindness!

[@spenfor1598]

Thank you for getting those presious innocent angels out of that horrible place!!! 💖 My God why do people let these babies get in that shape!!! 😭💔 Then the worst is sending them to that disgusting place!!! 😠 It cost that beautiful angel her life not just the pain she endured!!!! 😭🐎💔 You guys work so hard for these presious animals!!! 🙇💖 I'm heartbroken and crying watching this!!! 😭💔 God bless you and give you strength to do this wonderful work!!! 💕Thank you to the people who adopt these presious babies!!! 💕Sweet Angel Claire run free with God in heaven!!! 🐎💕 RIP Sweet Claire 🌈🐎❤

[@mgentles3]

Now here are folks who must know how to welcome Spring! I live in Southeast Texas and watching this makes me appreciate that fact for right this minute. Too many bugs and mosquitoes; too much heat and humidity in summer, but I can feel my extremities pretty much year 'round. I still remember a winter in Kansas City, Missouri. Being from down here, I thought Spring was supposed to come in March...and it didn't. I thought it never would. Big ups to you for all you do and what you go through to do it!

[@janeraymond5214]

Very nice. TY Cindy, Nate, & crew! Little white pony Clare broke my heart, ticks me off so bad. I didnt realize Daphne's foot was THAT bad..! Too much blood for me, but glad she all better! Ya'll have SO MUCH drive & ambition .. 💗🏆 I wish we had a rescue like this in this area of VA. And God Bless & TYSM to all the vols!

[@Boyland8692]

Wow Guys your introduction was really professionally done Great Job!! Really like the in depth background on the ponies and horses it helps us the viewers to get involved more. You are all working so hard and it shows congrats on all your hard work and I encourage everyone to support you guys. 🤩🤩👏👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Thank you so much!

[@gloriapischke175]

Excellent job providing,insight to your rescue. Both ups and downs and team work. Hope you grow and save many more lives. Kudos

[@leighswogger4272]

Thank you for all you do for the horses, ponies, and mules. You care deeply about them. I have been rooting for you since I first saw you on HRH! Keep up your wonderful work many (horses you haven't yet met) are counting on that. Thanks for sharing.

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

You are so kind!

[@MMSGEE]

Of course to the horse!

[@Lynne2106]

Absolutely beautiful introduction! So glad to see the website url in the description. Ten seconds in and I already love it!

[@synnvekjerstad5705]

Just love to have you back on the screen. You did marvelous job. The one thing I did not like was the music. It took away to much of your talking. I was so sad to see about Clair. But she got the help she needed from you. Thats the best. Stout will be ok soon. Of course he miss his companion. Looking forward to next episode.

[@sianhancock5872]

Great start to the New Year showing us Pony Tales. I cried about Claire. Poor darling having been treated that way. I hope little Stout pulls through his grief, he will make a great wee pony for someone to love on. From when I first saw you guys on Horse Rescue with Tawnee and Jason to now your rescue centre has come a long way and is looking wonderful. Well done! Just got to say I'm loving your vet. He's a man that gets down to business but also has time to have a chuckle here and there. You need to be a very special person to not only be a vet but also to help where it is desperately needed at rescue centres etc. You have a wonderful caring team.

[@marieparsons9908]

Another great episode! Both material and editiing. ✅ I just watched Tawnee's challenge to find a needle in the haystack. So I'm beyond happy that you obtained money to do the electical! That will always be a bright star when you think things are too hard. I'm sure that you will tell us, but did you get the Toyata grant??? Well done everyone!

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

We did not :/

[@pjk1714]

You have come so far this past year. I'm glad you got the water sorted with the weather. So terribly sad ove Claire. Pure negligence caused despite all your efforts to give her a chance. Feel bad for partner. I hope he is adjusting since the video. We are coping here after cancer. It takes a lot of love and patience. You might consider putting a battery charged unit on your wish list. They also charge with solar packs. Stay warm and safe.

[@coraclements4562]

so sad to see so many neglected horses and ponies, Thanks for everything you do

[@sisswift8423]

May the Good Lord bless you for your kindnesses!

[@bethkurtz5472]

all my prayers are with the horses and donkeys

[@dalairem]

Excellent episode, joyful and painful and everything in between. ❤ I’m looking forward to the next episode!

[@caroledwards3465]

Thank you for going to the trouble of putting "sub titles " on the video it really helps. Best wishes from Nottingham England UK 🇬🇧

[@KathyCoker53]

I really like the new look of this Episode, very professional! So sorry about Claire she was so cute. She’s not in any pain anymore! You guys are doing a great job!

[@Doxie48]

Very nice job on this! You guys do so much hard work and show your love for the horses. You are a fine example of what it takes to make a change in the world for these beautiful animals that give so much back to us even when they are mistreated by humans.

[@createwithbarbbl4125]

How heartbreaking it must be when you realise there is nothing to be done. I hope things work out for the other ponies in your care and thank you for doing the best you can for them all. I am so grateful to organisations like yours around the world. Greetings and a few tears, From Australia.

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Thank you so much! Hello in Australia!

[@nonakabyrd5759]

This series is awesome and I am already invested in the story at Pony Tails 😁

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

I got a reply on facebook from someone saying that horses have more good sense then to get caught up on fencing....... I should link that pony stuck in the fence. It was in regards to someone filming two horses fighting next to barb wire and star pickets .

[@baylaschauer3122]

Thank you for taking such good care of these horses. I have 4 horses in Door County Wisconsin, so I know how tough winters can be. Bless you!!

[@valjones7537]

What a beautifully done episode!! So sorry about Claire, but thank you for making her last days full of love.

[@nikkirutland9814]

Oh how I admire you guys, your winter looks so challenging!....poor sweet Claire, the dearest little mini with the sweetest face and the kindest eyes, so sorry that she was beyond help, pls keep us posted on how stout is doing without her by his side....blessings and love for a healthy Happy New Year to you all from the UK 🇬🇧 .....🐎

[@HughLlewellyn]

That was a great episode. Darn glaciers leaving all those rocks, haha. And god. I do NOT miss Wisconsin winters. 2 decades of it with my horses was enough. Glad to be living a little farther south now. So sad about little Claire, but very happy to see how well Daphne responded to the hoof care. She's such a sweet girl, who's been through too much grief. I'm still stunned at the loss of Miles. I remember when you were saying that it was probable Daphne would have to be euthanized once her foal was born. I'm so glad it wasn't necessary. One silver lining anyway.

[@terrijernberg2290]

Fantastic program! You had me laughing and crying! Please let us know what’s happening with Stout and Daphne.

[@reneegafford106]

I couldn't love this more!!! Happy tears and sad tears. 💕💜

[@monican88]

thank you so much for the subtitles. I appreciate the hard work that goes in making the video accessible!

[@slamminsam6xoxo]

Loved this episode!!

[@sharlettedavidson81]

My heart is broken for Claire, 💔 Hopes are with Stout, that you are able to find him a buddy he will except…my faith is with you all . Knowing you are doing the very best for each one of those amazing horses 🙏 May this New Year treat Pony Tale Refuge with great blessings. Thank you for all you and your team do to keep them safe and healthy ✨💝✨

[@ginamilite1256]

Why does the doctor laugh such these animals are so precious thankyou for rescuing them how cruel people are

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

He's not laughing "haha", it's just his mannerisms. He is a very caring, thoughtful vet.

[@ginamilite1256]

I m sure I just feel so bad for many neglected animals out there I am sure he loves them that's why he is there

[@ninakaiser2930]

Sooo happy to see you back - Happy New Year! You did an amazing job with this episode and I was so happy to see you all again! Caring for horses in winter - really heart! Claire broke my heart and tears flowed, such a sweet pony! Hopefully Stout will be fine! Really looking forward to next week’s episode! 😊 Would it be possible to include a PayPal link for donation?

[@kristiwetsel9531]

Your farrier is amazing!! The Belgian that got stuck .. what a good horse , knew not to struggle , was so calm ! guessing he rolled to close and rolled all the way over , glad he's okay!

[@pamdimitrio4972]

I'm talking about the mare with the golf balls that were on her feet.

[@cattymajiv]

Wouldn't it be easier to elevate wires than bury them? From Canada, I agree that cords on the ground will stop/freeze. So we just elevate them. But then we don't have horses or an animal barn.

[@heidinewcombe696]

When you have bonded animals and must let one go, let their companion see them after and give them time to grieve. Herd animals are far more understanding of loss than we give them credit for.

[@astikennel]

Watched these backwards ... LOL

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Lol!

[@melindaapril3880]

Boy that’s nice intro

[@juliedoesharry]

Really enjoyed the video, not so much the background music, it made it harder to hear what was being said.

[@aobermeyer14]

Can you set this as a fundraiser? Maybe being in more funds?

[@susiek.johnson3923]

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@lesleygraham5527]

I'd have got my saw out for that stump 😊

[@eyesup9542]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@pamdimitrio4972]

Have you given her any pain medication?

[@cattymajiv]

I've learned from watching this stuff that there are an endless amount of horses and other animals being severely abused and neglected, never mind the cats, dogs, and others! What we need is FAR more severe penalties and very large rewards for reporting them. Get em both ways! Because this has to stop. By my very sloppy estimate, there are nearly 1000 every month. How shameful of the US to allow it, but then the US allows an endless amount of corruption, and miscarriage of justice.

[@carolhilton9855]

Poor poor little thing

[@barbarajgosselin6797]

To bad you's don't have the money to get a Generator for back-up power for yourselves!

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

We have one now! :-)

[@ashthealien3621]

Stump won that round

[@joerudnik9290]

Maybe you would be the perfect people to have a GENERAC, or some wind power.

[@SH-ws1wg]

That music was way too too much .

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Sorry. Learning as we go!
