Encouragement instead of critics is what these people need! We are not out there in the cold and the snow facing the elements. We are not dealing with aggressive government officials standing in the way of rescuing animals. Each one of you is a hero and I applaud you for that. God bless the world did you do🙏🙏

[@astikennel]

Pebbles little girl is going to need a rope ladder 😂 Jester is a beautiful mover and they will be just lovely together!

[@bcgrote]

I think Pebbles found her girl! She was so careful and gentle walking that precious cargo around! ❤ Jester is ready for some trails!

[@EmpathBonz]

I was smiling so hard from ear to ear that my cheeks started cramping! 😂

[@milkweeddreams8828]

What fun adoptions, the little girls and their new horses were adorable...and what a great start for Wrinkles...awesome job kids...!

[@BoninBrighton]

I like Troy, he’s really come along in his presentation skills- he’s definitely gained in confidence, what a nice genuine guy.

[@francineherron1940]

I'm so glad the person surrendered their old horse😊 he seems really sweet, a good forever retirement home would be wonderful❤. I liked this episode... lot's of adoptions to start the new year 🎉

[@vickypedia1353]

Those droopy ears were adorable. I hope Dr Lydia can give him a clean bill of health, and that he has some good years left in him.

[@laurasharp593]

Im feeling warm and happy about all the adoptions this episode. 😊🐴🐎

[@emmajones2586]

Agree the voice over at the beginning and end is a bit much but i think it is John having some fun.

[@stilllearning8360]

Hello and happy new year to everyone! Y'all did a FANTASTIC job... Especially for your small size crew! All the adoptions were so much fun. Troy, you did a great job :) I have a feeling 2024 will be a BIG one for HSH. Each of you saves so many lives each year. Prayers and love coming your way as always 🤗💗🙏 Janice

[@joannepantale483]

Wow, everyone in the comment section is complaining about one thing or another. Is it possible to just take joy in HPHS's adoption record for 2023 and celebrate their accomplishment like the supporters we are?

[@RayaStarr]

No one likes to complain, but when you see or hear something that isn't as good as it was in the past it's ok to point it out, it's constructive criticism. They just want the episodes to be as good as they usually are. For example, I cant be the only one who doesn't care for the new intro, the old intro used the song Heroes by Valley of Wolves, it was a perfect song to use for what these heroes do!

[@joannepantale483]

[@wakingohiomama9110]

Ok , that puppy with the black ear is PRECIOUS

[@kimbrey65]

I hear about horses that are more than 25 years old and my horse died when she was 21, I was 20. My parents bought her when I was 2. Fran was a quarter horse and she essentially became my baby sitter. I would ride her everywhere. There were times that she had to take care of me. I have cerebral palsy and I didn't walk as a toddler. If I fell off, Fran would protect me by walking circles around me.

[@rokuwhitefox7764]

I love the super epic opening to season 5. Your media guys are GREAT!

[@annpalmer7470]

Happy 2024 from Surf City, CA🌊 This was a sweet episode with the several adoptions, a quick check in on horses during the feeding and a kind old gelding surrender - great way to start the year. And thanks to Isabella for letting us get to know her a bit more!

[@barbarabisson2551]

"Normal people don't work on Jan1"? I know what you mean, Angela, but I'd say it's the cream of the crop who do: ER docs, nurses, medical techs, nursing home personnel, firefighters, policemen & women, and the like. So veterinarians & animal care workers, like you guys are right up there, too. Never feel 'less than" just because you're not 'average'. That being said, personnel shortages on holidays dictates cutting down the workload to necessities. Extra stuff, in my opinion, like adoption events, and surrenders really should wait until there is a full staff on board.

[@tamis9112]

I would reword that to say Only phenomenal people work on Jan 1st. As I worked every Jan 1st, I was manager of a Pet Store, so even if we were closed I still went in and cleaned and watered all the animals twice a day, No Holidays off for me.

[@RuthAnneDoty]

I don't care for the voice of. It doesn't sound right. I love the videos.

[@marsvin8]

all those cute dogs made me cry, because yesterday i had to put my dog to sleep

[@taylorthompson2073]

I love that the kids get to test the horses. Obviously with liability waivers signed, but I'm sure many places still wouldn't let them ride. Gotta make sure they like the horse too if they're gonna be the one riding it

[@cynthiamcgee4829]

I'm so happy that some of your animals got adopted into forever loving homes and I'm so glad that you took in that 27 year old surrender he deserves to be loved and to have the rest of his life safe. 💕🐎

[@yayahillylariviere]

Happy New Year to All🎉

[@ninakaiser2930]

Happy New Year everyone 🎉 So nice to see such a big adoption starting off the new year. Great to learn a little bit more about Isabella! And Black Beauty already is infamous 😅 Glad he is doing good! So excited for another year of many more rescues and adoptions - and awesome episodes of course!

[@katmurphy6634]

I agree with stardust949…..it sounds more like world of wrestling…..last years intro was much more inspiring…..but so glad you are back. And working for the best of all equines, canines and felines.

[@tashasylvia3313]

Hate to complain but that was a short episode. I miss the hour long episodes. I also miss the intake episodes, where you eval each new horse. Is it just me? I love HPSH just miss the way old episodes were.

[@francineherron1940]

I feel the same way. I liked the long episodes and the intakes as well.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

I think now they have 2 vets 24/.7 that they WILL be showing us the full intake videos and more vet stuff too..

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

I mis doc

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

@Wendy-bd9zu l miss Dr Nancy..she was brilliant..they do really need a permanent vet not just the weekly visits by the wonderful Doc who was busy running his own practice..now they have the newly qualified vet and Dr Lydia I'm sure we'll see a lot more.. Dr Lydia used to come with Doc so we have a familiar face and she is Excellent..!!

I live in a small place in the UK and i have been addicted to watching you guys do what you do!!❤ Thank you for saving those horses 🙏🐴. For People like me who are disabled and on a low income how else but financially can we help? I feel so helpless, is there a list of things i CAN do to help and how do i donate small amouts of money at a time. I really want to help somehow. If your ever in the uk and need a spare room for the night or anything like that your more than welcome. Its not much but its a place to lay your heads for a night. Keep fighting the good fight. Your amazing all of you!!!! Xx

I like watching your show! You all are doing a great thing.... just wanted to give your employees a little advice, tell them to unhook the garden hoses from the water hydrants, and they shouldn't freeze up then, they will drain back in ground, but normally not with hose connected to them. Oh and dont forget to drain the hoses also. Just trying to help ya out.

@@Amy-and-Ozzy tell? How about a contract?

[@Amy-and-Ozzy]

​@@paillette2010They have always told adopters that should they end up unable to care for a horse long term they are happy to accept the horse back as a surrender. Horse plus and ever rescue organisation does thorough checks to make sure that people are suitable to adopt any animal. If they don't think someone can or will take care of an animal long term properly then they don't get to adopt.

Curious about how you guys feel about the safe act? I’m surprised you guys aren’t pushing for the bill to be passed. With such a large platform

[@dreamcatcher3861]

I’m not sure what the safe act is in the USA. Is it Drug and Alcohol Addiction Rehabilitation? @startledmayo There are so many definitions on google, I’m completely confused. From mortgage protection, banking acts, to ,ensuring businesses have access to bank accounts and prison closure savings…..

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

They ARE supporting the Safe Act..they mentioned it when they did the video of them going to Washington DC to get the law changed regarding the auction not checking if their animals are fit and to stop the slaughter pipeline..they actually met the congresswoman who started the Safe Act and of course they DO support it..

[@stardust949]

I think your intro and voice over at the end sound too much like video games or some kind of Wrestling Championship. It's just a bit jarring.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

I can’t tell if it’s tongue-in-cheek or not! If not, it’s weird. If so, it’s kinda fun and I like to picture it’s John doing it, but still it’s weird. Some people may be drawn in by it tho.

[@karinearnst4089]

I was a bit jarred by it as well. I will probably get used to it but it was a bit of a shock 🫨, 😆.

[@dreamcatcher3861]

It was definitely strange. This kind of organisation needs an empathic intro, more related to what they do. I know our much loved HP team are heroes and warriors but the introduction doesn’t reflect the warmth they actually convey. Sorry John.

[@clsmithent]

Yes, definitely not the voice I'm used to. 😮

[@cathydederick7957]

I agree. Doesn’t match the mission of Horse plus. Needs to be a softer introduction and ending

[@ApequH]

I miss the old intro, it suited the vibe better

[@jmleeinla4025]

The voice work sounds like this is a wrestling video. If you can do something about this it will make listening more enjoyable.
