I just love Elijah. He’s so calm, professional and empathic. He doesn’t take risks with horses that have difficulty with farrier work. I like the fact sedation is used with those cases so no harm or unnecessary stress is put on the horse or Elijah. Horse plus are leading the way with how farrier work should be done. Well done Elijah and well done Vet and training team on the good example you are setting in the rescue world and hoof care.

[@vickypedia1353]

I especially enjoyed Elijah’s evaluation and rehabilitation plan for the horses with hoof problems! What an awesome farrier. If anyone can save those feet it’s him.

[@barbarakinsey2789]

Thank you Dr Lydia for telling people to scrape off the water after hosing off a horse

I love it when they get turned out and they run its just beautiful to see their heads held and tails lifted high! Thank you for giving them that chance❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stilllearning8360]

I must take a moment to thank the entire "video/media/cinematography" team (not sure of the correct term!). You do an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JOB...from filming to editing to final video! Each episode gets (impossibly) better and we feel as if we are right there IRL!! The "interviews" with staff also get better and better. Just overall everyone doing a great job! This goes for Elijah too...he is so wonderful with the horses, clearly does fantastic work, and explains things (to us) so well. I'm sure donors like Bob Barker and the wonderful woman funding the new intake barn are so proud to support such a WONDERFUL organization as HPHS. THANK YOU EVERYONE for all you do! 🐎💛 Janice

Erin TN has a small but very well known Irish Day Parade, they get a lot of visitors during that time- if you ever wanted to snag a spot in the parade or set up a booth about Horse Plus and what you do it'd be amazing to see! Just figured let ya know!

[@claudiadickerman4218]

Look at those happy horses and donkeys romping in the pastures. What a sight to see knowing most of them were only days away from a horrific ending. Now they will live happy for however long they have left. Love it! I am challenging ALL fans who watch Horse Plus all the time. I don't know how many actual loyal followers there are, but I know if every single one of us who DO watch every episode would sign up for a set automatic donation monthly, that would be really helpful to Tawnee as it would at least give her an idea of what the base donation amount will be each month. Surely we all can afford 5 or 10 dollars a month, give up that expensive coffee or some other silly thing and sign up for auto donation each month. Then we can also donate more as we can afford to above that pledge of a base amount. I cannot imagine the stress it puts on Tawnee making the decision to accept more calls from traders who want to bring trailers to take advantage of the buy out program. I believe they are paying $500 per horse sight unseen. that adds up quickly. I am hoping that all the fans who read this will join me in setting up auto donation for every month. We can do it, I know we can.

[@dramaqueen6G]

I am so thrilled that Horse Plus will be starting to do educational work in addition to caring for the animals. This is a terrific way to raise their profile, and get their message out to a wider audience. Educating people about horses is the first step towards better care and treatment for them. Also, having worked in the non-profit world for many years, I can tell you that having an education program and offering regular classes is a great way to generate predictable income, which means being less dependent on donations.

[@cathywhite4019]

During the 1980's and '90's I was president of our provincial horse and pony rescue society. I took in horses and ponies that were either seized or surrendered by owners. I also conducted educational sessions for owners who were not caring for their animals properly. In my experience, the education had no effect. The owners continued to neglect their horses, not get their hooves trimmed, and let the horses get so skinny. I bought one Standardbred for $100 - a horse that had not even been given water for more than a week. Took that horse to my own 3-stall stable. That owner continued to starve horses. Now, the provincial SPCA refuses to have anything to do with investigating equine abuse. They leave it up to the police - who give this issue no priority and have no knowledge of horses. Writing from Newfoundland Labrador Canada.

[@normafollet7156]

I must say I also like this farrier,❤🎉he is about the job in hand, and looks happy in doing so. He is there for the horses. 😊

[@Schiffon]

This is my favorite farrier ❤! He’s not a show off like the other channel. He’s the real deal as we all can see ❤🎉.

[@dreamcatcher3861]

I know who you mean Schiffon. I don’t understand why sedation isn’t used more often at the other rescue. It saves unnecessary stress and injury to both the horses and the farrier. Especially in stock situations with the big draft horses, I actually dread farrier time at the other place because you just know there is going to be some sort of drama. It’s completely unnecessary, especially as they have a vet there at the same time who could administer sedation carefully to those horses who need it. I don’t like calling out rescues because they do such incredible work but I wish they would look at their farrier situation as potentially damaging.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Pony Tales also has an excellent farrier called Pauly.. they are also part of the full circle of life and a recipient of Horse Plus $10,000 donation a few yrs ago..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️🐴🐎🇺🇸

[@user-yp6zk3ew1q]

At first, I didn’t like that guy either. Show off and dramatic. But I do think he really has a soft heart and very good at what he does.

[@rebeccauurtamo857]

I agree with you,I blame the rescue for not speaking up and intervening.Im sure he is not the only ferrier in town.

[@Schiffon]

@@kimmarievan-ever6599 the women who are there do a terrific job, it’s the farrier that doesn’t sedate the frightened horses and yanks the legs sharply before shoeing, etc that keeps me unhappy about their videos 🙏

[@carolinacowgirlpharmer5052]

Thank you to all of the adopters that give these horses a loving home!

[@yankeedoodledarling9232]

The way your organization continues to expand and grow is so inspirational. Having the ability to provide on-site education will really help so many people - what a wonderful addition to your already fantastic organization. I watch every episode and always learn something new and I really appreciate hearing from your entire roster of people on what they do and what they're doing today. Thanks again for being so good to animals.

With Atlas...time takes time to gain weight; nutrients/aminos/fat/oil. Anemia plus several other things can cause low white count.

[@patriciafarran9742]

It’s nice to have some good news about the horses after seeing so many that couldn’t be saved from the buyout program. It’s also nice to see Outlaw Equine doing so well adopting donkeys.

[@bettyechristain9711]

I enjoyed this episode so much. I always love to see the horses moving thru from quarantine and hear how they are doing. And if course hearing from the vets and see what they are up to.Thank you for all the wonderful work you do for these amazing animals!!!!❤

[@Sweetpeaslovrr]

What’s your refeeding program? I’ve found information online that says you follow the UC Davis refeeding diet but haven’t seen any alfalfa hay or any skinny horses gaining any significant amount of weight. Also one month will never be enough time for a horse to recover from a low body score. Atlas deserves more time. He doesn’t deserve to have his chance at a good life cut short because you keep getting more animals

[@akantiia]

Love the horse who just chilled out while Dr Lydia and Caityln worked with him, such a good boy!

[@Hanaconda_Aquaponics]

I'm glad you're considering glue-on shoes for the horse who didn't have enough hoof wall for nails.

Dr. Lydia is such a treasure. A jewel. A gem. .Horse Plus is blessed to have her. Give her a raise.

It's do great that other local rescues work with you to move animals around to where their needs can be met or where adopters are looking.

[@annpalmer7470]

Oh, we just didn’t want this episode to end! Great explanations from Elijah, wonderful adoptions and smiles from all the staff make for excellent content.

Elijah is a wonderful, compassionate and skilled Farrier. In fact the entire team at HPHS is phenomenal. Once I seen the wood delivery I immediately recognized Hampton. They’re located here in the PNW a few miles from where I’m at. My husband worked with them before going on and obtaining his CDL.

Colloidal silver🆒

I’m concerned that you are giving up on Atlas too soon. He has only had 4 courses of antibiotics and that is not a lot. He can take more. Also he is eating well and has gained weight even if it is only a little. He is old. It’s hard to gain weight when you have an infection when you’re old but he is gaining weight!!

How many of those horses do you put down?

[@gizzmowalliss]

They put down a lot of horses that have injuries or condition they either cannot fix or can’t afford to fix, it may seem cruel that they can possibly save a horse by spending a lot of money on it and instead they put the horse down but for these people it comes down to helping as many horses as they can in the best way they can. If that means putting down a horse with a serious condition that could be treated to buy another 3 that might have a better chance then they will. Or at least that’s what I’ve seen on this show.
