Horse Shelter Heroes | S2E23 | Full Episode

[@sallywaites8517]

Can never get enough of watching Doc assess the horses. Just knowing that regardless of the outcome none of those animals will ever suffer again.

[@Brembelia]

Doc is too modest. He's a pillar of your organization and the show. Always glad to see him; another good person doing good works saving the animals. 😃

[@kaydavis6752]

The draft horse is awesome and the mules the same. I've a feeling that Kory is going to be a great addition to your team. Seems like a nice, softly spoken guy that the animals will take to.

[@sarah_max20]

Yeah me too. I'm in love with that belgian draft.

Doc had the line of the day: "We just have to ride it out. Just grab hold and hang on." Words to live by. Great job by you all on this rescue and intake. And cheers to you Jason for keeping everyone going when we know you were exhausted.

[@glenkelley6048]

AFTER you rescue the poor horses, do they somehow live forever? Bless You for the EXPERT attention you give to the poor horses!

[@ldyridr805]

I'm so thrilled you now have a Mule person on your team!! This really expands the chances for these beautiful creatures to have a good solid base for potential adopters. Yaaaaa!!!

[@lmp8932]

The draft horse is a beauty. One of the best Endurance ride equines over here in Australia was a mule called Juanita, they aren't just for carrying stuff :)

[@jesseelisabeatty8205]

You treat a mule nice, it remembers that and usally will give you a hard days honest work ..tick one off or treat it bad..its just either going to kick or bite you, or just flat out lay down and NOT get up lol. I got a mule free..the guy said if i could get that"piece of sh er crap up and ride her down the road..she was mine..lets just say best dollar i spent to buy her. Pulled off her tack, put my halter on her , a handfull of sweet feed..she got up, i got a leg up and we ran down the road ..gave her some water .she took alot of work..( she was fearful) but i rode her more than i did my horse. Kindness counts lol

[@josecondemarin9586]

I do agree with you 💯% for sure.

[@sharonwilder5975]

i've seen other animals help rescue horses. A Fillie that lost her mom was nursed by a GOAT. The goat stood on a platform so the fillie could reach the goats teats and saved the horse. RESCUES need to think outside the box to help. I do everything I can to bring SPECIES TOGETHER.

[@juliajenniferarmstrong7952]

Doc is the best and so are you all. Lots of love Julie

[@angela-po5uv]

The difference - watching the ladies bring in the horses from grassy pastures coming to feed buckets, all relaxed, it is beautiful. Ladies, God bless you. I know your job is "difficult" as there are very high-highs and very dark lows. You all are gifted and I hope you find the strength to keep doing what you do.

[@shawnabeach1732]

I love Doc! Thank you for helping Horse Plus save these horses.

[@dianemcq64]

I LOVE seeing the growth of your facility. So pleased you are getting the financial support you need. 🥰

[@marciebooth3270]

I love that you include the people interviews and how hard they're working to support the horses. Even the clip with the keys locked in the car helps everyone see the realities and everyday lives of the volunteers and what an amazing "family" you're growing. Sending love and hugs! ❤❤❤

[@Sunshine-nr6qe]

That feeling when you’re exhausted and worked hard all day, take a shower and finally crawl in bed.... Thank you for ALL you do!

[@janepstk]

I love Doc….makes my day …..glad so many horses, mules, ponies and donkeys were lucky enough to be saved or at least saved from the pain they were in…God Bless your good work!

[@baskervillebee6097]

Mules have a very smooth shuffle gait. If you win their trust, you have a partner.

[@mayling2722]

thank you so much for rescuing all the horses and you are all the best ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@lisap9331]

It’s awesome beyond words to see these beautiful animals that were at deaths doorstep find loving homes ❤❤🎉❤❤

[@Whatisthetruth711]

Your Doc reminds me of my old school vet when I was growing up. I'll be 60 this year. RIP Dr William Rokus taught me a lot about vet medicine.

[@gmariet1391]

I love how you always know what's going on with the animals and employees. Great accountability and companionship in your team!

[@FreesTylerFurYa]

That was one majestic, and absolutely gorgeous draft! I hope we'll see more of him

[@rubygreen158]

R.I.P. to the 4 beautiful horses / mule. Who had to cross the Rainbow Bridge. To cross into greener pastures to graze forever and run free , with no more pain or suffering . However , its awesome that all y'all was able to save so many of them and adopt out alot as well .Thank U to Pony Tales for their awesome help as well .I have them on my FB on my pc as well as all y'all .And always share both y'all posts as often as I can . If I could do more I would .

[@ashevilleequine9753]

@ruby green I agree with you

[@ricklaurelnovotny4829]

Thank God for people like you. If the terrible fate at slaughter is all you can subject these animals to, why starve hit them allow infections to run rampant then do this to them. It sickens me that asses can be so so cruel

[@christinefoster5159]

I love Kory!! What a great worker. A really kind and loving guy.

[@rayvnsroost]

Keep saving Horses cause it's not worth it to stop....love to Tawnee Jason Doc and the rest of the gang you are both loved and appreciated.

[@josecondemarin9586]

I was in awe seeing the amount of horses and the unity of having three organization working together. All horse rescue organizations should work together it shouldn't be different they all work for a common cause. Tawnee and Jason I just love the team you guys have put together it's amazing. you guys are the protecting Angels for horses, donkies , mules and all the rest of creatures which come to your organization. Love you all, stay safe and healthy. Great video thanks 😊

[@elizabethpeters9875]

I've sent another small donation for this month's auction. The work you all do is amazing, especially the volunteers! Lots of love from Liz in the UK xxx 🇬🇧😍🦄

[@cynthiabowers3109]

Tawnee, If all folks had the same idea about other folks, as you do about horses , what a wonderful world we'd have.... I know God truely blessed all of you ❤❤❤

[@arrow21OG]

My dogs name was Sherman and he passed away last week, so seeing that you guys named a horse Sherman almost made me cry, thank you so much ❤️

[@annpriddy7941]

This was a very uplifting video. Congratulations on your new mule trainer. Everyone at horse plus and ponytails give so much of themselves that it is inspiring. I’m sure that the “secret“ group will do you just as well and fit right in.

[@kenmorris2290]

That draft looked amazing for being 25, nice mover. He must have had great care early in life. The 10 yo chestnut mule looked like a quality animal. Glad you have a Mule Man on the team!

[@tamo9520]

I'm also just luvin' that draft! Not that you are askin', but I love the huge ones! The taller the better for me. I had a few Percherons that were my fave to ride, my biggest pets! (had some Belgians that were saddle trained as well) Wishin' I had my farm right now. And I s'pose, wishin' I lived closer as well. You know, I thought I was strong. Really, . . . . probably have the same kind'a stories that you all have, maybe more, maybe less. But to have to see so much disregard, lack of compassion, care and heartlessness in just a few days. I just don't know how you continue some days. By continue, I mean to keep your spirits up to go onto the next, & on to the next, and the next, . . . . for all of those hours that you do & in just a few days! Do these people ever get charged for neglect? Is there anyway of knowing who to charge? You can't - but I have to stop the video at times, give myself a break and come back to continue. Massively "HUUUUUUGE HUGS" from deep within my heart to all of you! Thank Heavens for you all!

[@AjnosMitSukarm]

Rory is a beauty!

[@jomama5186]

Thank you all so much for all you do for these precious beings. We need to MAKE the govt treat these animals with the respect and protection they deserve for what they did to help colonize America and the world. They have feelings and are extremely intuitive and have real feelings, just like any living thing does.

I drove through Tennessee last week, but on the other end of the state or I would have stopped by to see you. I want to thank you for making the videos and sharing the entire process. I know people don't like to see the ones that require the last act of kindness but I think it is honest and needs to be seen. Too many people dump horses, mules, ponies and minis that they have an obligation to. I hope they see your show, and donate to your organization to appease their guilt. Thank you so much for all you do, and all you give to these wonderful beings. They are in good hands and they show it.

Shes like the song " i loved you before i met you..by savage garden ..They will make an awesome pair. Doodle bug? I read a book as a child with the same name. Tawnee im glad you dont hold it againsr him..hes your poster child for " love changes everyrhing ..( lol another song by clime? ) i love your name. Its unusal. I used to bb sit a little girl with the same name..( her two sisters and brother. ) you are a beautiful person for saving lives.

I have the book about Doodle bug too. Such a great story about horse/pony rescue.

[@terrillrogers9983]

Awesome draft as well as those beautiful mules. Like the way Kory handles those mules…good addition to the team.

[@MamaTrauma]

It would be cool if you would have an "alumni reunion" for the horses that found new homes and are in your area. That way you could show off all the hard work since adoption.

thank you for people like you working tirelessly against monster humans on this planet and rescuing these horses from slaughter. Donated

[@ginabearden5646]

I really love to watch the show. You all do a wonderful job!! My favorite part is watching each horse be weighed in and Evaluated, and then the next weigh in and evaluation on how much they have improved or not. So nice to see what a difference you ALL have made in each one of their lives❤️🥰💕

[@kimberlyplayer]

I'm so happy that Donovan found a happy home! I was really worried he would be more difficult to home but I think his new family will put the time and love into him and he'll be a great new addition to their fam. 51 horses is really amazing!!

[@MyKarebyEquestrian]

i love your videos but during the intake videos it would be a lot more fun to see more of the horses, their outcomes etc easier for us all to see everyone coming in and maybe potential people looking to adopt will be hooked from start to finish! it becomes more personal when you get to follow a horse from start to finish! i personally love a great story or seeing horses bounce back ^^

[@Canadian_Alygator]

I always love the draft/draft crosses. My first horse that was all mine, not shared with family was a totally unhandled foal from a pmu farm. Most those foals get sent to slaughter pipeline. His only real interaction with people before I'd gotten him was traumatic to say the least. But the two of us bonded on such a deep level. He was a Morgan x Percheron. Such an intelligent, loving horse. Probably to smart for his own good lol. But like having 17hh puppy :') I had gotten him at ten and he was hands down the best horse I owned. I've had multiple horses. But Shadow was always the one I was closest to. Something about earning a horses trust and love on the level I had to with him is something profound. Though I also adore seeing the Arabians as I had an Egyptian Arabian. They really are super intelligent and sensitive.

[@toxicbangbang]

I normally don't watch horse rescue videos. I've been binge watching the channel, and I'm genuinely, and happily, surprised how sweet these equines are. Yall are such a wonderfully dedicated crew. I have learned so much from you.

[@mavriksbt]

I fell in love with Doodlebug when he was rescued. Sassy lil dude.

[@mgentles3]

I still have an indentation on the back of my leg. It used to be a perfect horseshoe print. I got it when a hunter/jumper I was riding bolted and decided (just as I thought he was stopping) to take a 5' gate. I came off first of course and he landed on me with a front hoof that was shod. I can definitely relate to your torn muscle, Tawnee. Thing is, mine fell right where it made sitting on the throne a sort of gymnastic endeavor. Kudos for all you do and congratulations on your growth as an organization.

[@AnniM88]

The Mules are so cute !!

[@SilverFlame819]

Yay, the spicy little dude got a home!! I was ready to drive out there and strap him to the roof and bring him home! *lol* One of the cutest minis I've seen in a while!!

[@kimberlyplayer]

I just started volunteering at a shelter in my neck of the woods and they have a beautiful TWH that is easily the size of a draft. I would love for my bf to have one since he's a beginner and have the size of a draft and the natural gait of a TWH. One of the trainers wants him though.

Absolutely. We can see how crazy busy everyone is, all doing sterling work. We can't necessarily see what the outcome of each horses intake and evaluation is. Its what makes your videos stand out from the rest. 🐎💞🐎

[@kimtankersley6521]

I have a suggestion too! Perhaps on your web pages and social media you could post Bios of your staff and volunteers? Nothing too personal of course but stuff like why they came to Horse plus, how long they’ve been, what they like best? Just an idea ❤️❤️❤️
