[@windytatom]

We love you all and love seeing the new team speaking more even though it is uncomfortable some times to be on camera.❤

[@betty-jocarlo5980]

Thank you for helping these animals and helping the Hopi people with their animals ❤️.

[@HughLlewellyn]

Thank you for being boots on the ground so quickly after the tornadoes in Tennessee. As a horse owner, fires and tornadoes were my two biggest fears. I can't imagine how terrifed the owners of the horses at that boarding stable must have been, knowing a tornado was bearing down on their beloved horses and not being able to do a thing about it. I'm so thankful they all survived. I hope their wounds will heal quickly and fully.

[@geminidream4347]

Today I found out about this judge in Painsville Ohio who's name is Michael Cicconetti and he is an amazing man when it comes to sentencing animal abusers! It was on youtube so you should be able to find the same video with no problem. You will have the biggest grin on your face when you hear his sentences for people! We need more judges like him on our side!!

[@JMiller777America]

I live 4.5 hours from your facility. I would drive that distance to have Dr. Lydia take care of my Service dog and best friend. Dr. Lydia, it's been a long time since I've seen such a talented vet with so much love and caring for animals. I love that there is a site where I can watch you work your magic!

[@claudiadickerman4218]

I live in SC and I took would drive to Tenn if my beloved dog needed help. Dr. Lydia is one of a kind, she has a full plate being married and with children and she just works to hard she gets my respect for that alone, but as you said JMiller, the compassion and care and talent she has is outstanding. I think all of us fans should be sending little care boxes to her and also to her sidekick Dr Gina who is getting the best on the job training alongside Dr. Lydia. If I am not mistaken , I don't think Dr Gina had been out of Vet school too long before going to Horse Plus. Whatever....these ladies rock and Horse Plus is so blessed by them being on staff. As to little care packages for them, I bet if we call there, the office people can make some suggestions that are personalized . I know I am going to do that and it will be fun when they open them as whenever a fan sends stuff they generally give the opening of them a short inclusion in an episode.

[@MeadowsMiniFarm]

I live about the same distance and when we get ready to adopt a new horse best believe we’ll be making the drive ! ❤

[@eacole72]

Before I was born, my parents taught on the Navajo reservation for several years. The home movies they took show an unrelenting tide of underfed horses and dogs. It is heartening to know that there are people who are working to alleviate the suffering.

Dora seemed to do really well with the surgery. Elija did an amazing job on her feet. They look so much more normal. I imagine it feels a little weird to her walking on them, but hopefully she's a lot more comfortable long term.

[@akantiia]

Poor Dora, can't believe that tracheostomy site was so gross! Guys please stop worrying about the novice rider situation, it has been said that the adopted horse has gone to a trainer and the boy is learning on an older more experienced horse. Can't wait to see more of the Navajo nation trip 💜

The so called novice rider situation the adopted horse is their horse they didn’t adopt another one.

In U.K. they introduced silicone hoof molds and use Epoxy to create an adhered coverage of the hoof. Could work on the horse with thin hoof.

For Huey, you can get heavy plastic/rubber shoes and glue them on. Seen this done on the Hoof GP, he does cows feet but will occasionally use 1/2 of one of these for a cow. He uses Hoof Grip Pro glue it’s neon green and stays on for a long time

Poor baby Dolly I hope she survives ❤️ it will break my heart if she doesn't 😢

[@melissaclifford8398]

I was just watching your June Buyout Intake video. I respect the inclusion of the lay-person’s assessment of the horse with numerous physical abnormalities who was x-rayed and found to have congenital conditions and not broken bones. Either way, he needs euthanasia, but the inclusion of the different views is both informative and indicates confidence on the part of all involved. Thank you. And thank you for relieving this horse of his suffering.

Thankful for all you do for the Animals & The Hopi Natives 🥰🙏

[@stacey_h]

As far as Huey's feet, we had a horse just like him. Our farrier used a type of hard rubber shoe (sorry I can't remember the brand name) that we ordered the first time and then the farrier store he used started carrying it. It can be glued on or nailed on and it was wonderful. It saved his hoof because he had a super hard hoof that didn't grow and was hard to maintain. After finding this shoe in a horse magazine, our farrier tried it and loved it. It was the perfect solution for long term care of his hoof. We almost lost him due to a coffin bone infection that there were no signs of where it came from. After being on the surgery table twice, he was given only a 5% chance of survival. With over a year of stall rest his foot fused itself and although he didn't walk quite right he was out of pain and happy to be a 16 hand pet and lived out his life with us. If it wasn't for that shoe, we don't know how things would have turned out.

[@timilisafogal6990]

I'm so happy to read that your family took such great care of him, and he lived a long happy life with you. Sounds like your family went the extra mile and didn't just put him down.

[@stacey_h]

​To me and my husband, our animals were our family. We went out of our way to make sure they were well cared for and happy. We got a lot of remarks from people saying Mickey was useless and needed to be put down. That was never in our vocabulary and if there was a chance he could have a happy, pain free life that was all it took for us to give it to him.

Inexperienced rider AND horse not a good idea I think. Better to teach the child how to ride on an established , trained horse then he can work with a young horse from a place of experience.

[@monicarensleigh566]

Just a suggestion, The Hoof GP has a product called Hoof Grip Pro, I believe, which he has also used to build up a block on cows that couldnt get a proper block/shoe on. That might be more durable as a temp shoe for the TB with the bad feet that cant take shoes. Its a green glue...pretty tough stuff and dried much faster than the product used. Might be worth looking at for that TB.

How is the giant Belgin gelding that Dr. Lydia fell in love with on the last buyout? He had that the big wound with proud flesh(I think...) on the side of his front right(?) fetlock. I think she said they would have a hard time closing the wound because of possible tissue loss, but she wanted to try because he is young and gorgeous.

[@SpruceKnob-h2q]

He had a successful first surgery, I think. I saw another video about it. Possibly the vet video.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

Tawnee , I am sure you already know this, but I will comment anyway. I follow a nice family channel in AZ who live in Joseph City AZ along the interstate. They do some rescues on the Res' out that way and the man of the family works for a church ministry that goes to the various res' so he has come to know many residents throughout the years. Most res' have too many horses running wild . Of course we know that having feral stallions running with Mares is a recipe for over breeding and even poor health due to not enough forage to accommodate too many horses. So, this man has offered to buy some of the colts IF the young men will go out and catch them. He also will buy some mares who are not doing well because of the conditions and the repeated pregnancies that have weakened them. Awhile back , not sure if it was the man I am speaking about or someone else, but it became known that the really poor residents on these res' will often do a round up and then the wild horse are sold to traders.....and well.....we pretty know that happens then.....they are going to auctions and into the slaughter pipeline. SO, it will be WONDERFUL if more vets can get to these res' to geld as many as the young men are able and willing to catch and get them to the area where the vets will be staying. The man I am aware of says that it should be really brought to the attention of the horses catchers that sell to traders, just what these feral horses are going to endure until they are shipped to slaughter. The tribes for the most part hold the horse in their traditions and for the most part they are respected and cared for when the young men bring some in to be ridden and in various events they have. So, the man I know says that he really believes some education even if it must be graphic as in undercover videos so be it as he is pretty darn sure that they will stop doing that and the herds can not keep growing by having special events for the feral horses on these res'
