[@jesseelisabeatty8205]

A resident in my resthome God bless her wants to give her quilt to the shivering horse. It's her one possession. Can you get it a coat so I can show ETHEL the horsie is fine and warm? Lol . She used to have horses drafts.. she's 91 lol

[@joannemargaretcarolemontgo3103]

OMG that's so sweet of her.please tell Ethel I'm sending you both hugs! Don't worry this organisation take the best care of the horses and donkeys I've ever seen, they really love them. God bless them for the work they do and you and Ethel for caring. XX

[@Bebold94]

How would I get in touch? I have a rather odd question, I'd like to put their organization in my will.

[@pamalacoolman7524]

I love this idea. If I could quilt, I would be doing the same thing. I know it will need a strap across the chest. I hope they can make it work for her.

[@jenruiz7606]

It’s a shame they didn’t see this. I hope Ethel is well. ❤❤

[@moogiemom8670]

Today I had to put down my best friend of 17 yrs. All day long all I said to myself last act of kindness. After 2 yrs of fighting cushings and hoof problems I had to admit her quality of life was severely compromised . She had lost so much weight , and started to refuse her medication. I had to ask everyone I knew iam doing the right thing , right? I would cry while saying she's my best friend, she outlasted the husband trying to camouflage the broken heart of having to make that horrendous decision. When the vet arrived and looked at her , they believed that she had an infection in her bones and probably had sepsis. So indeed I had made the right decision. I couldn't be there but my daughter sat with her with Rosie's head on her lap and whispered in her ear all the good times we all had with her and what a gift she was to our family. Thank you guys for giving me the strength to fulfill my gift to my horse of the last gift of kindness. Run Rosie run , till we meet again .

[@jeanfish7]

It's so hard, but there comes a time one has to say " goodbye ".

[@joannemargaretcarolemontgo3103]

I'm so sorry for your loss of your Rosie. You did so good for her, showing how much you loved her. How amazing your daughter was! Well done both of you. They love us and give us their all, so we must do the same for them. God bless all of you and specially Rosie, who will be waiting for you when your time comes. Your happy memories will last until then. XXX

[@jennifergudmundson2277]

You made the right decision. May God carry you through This difficult grieving process. ❤

[@judygregoire5473]

I love horses with all my heart. I've had a worse ever since I was 5 years old and I wish I wasn't 73 years old right now because I would come and work for you. I would just love working with horses and I would love to be with you to help you with these horses. Keep up the good work people. Thank God for you bless you all

[@missygilly9917]

I was so happy to hear you talk about the blind horses. The lady a few shows ago who adopted two blind horses, encouraged other adopters to not overlook blind ones as they are wonderful, and deserve a good life. Thank you for all you do for these horses xoxo

[@blossomherd3921]

Yeah . I have had the absolute pleasure of own my boy for 7 yrs ( he blind in his right eye) now and he is amazing. And now teaches people to ride and has help people get over their fear of horses. He my world and is going no where. They are soo worth it and the bond is overwhelming.

[@SaraNightfire1]

I remember a story years ago that I read where a blind pony was adopted by a mom desperate to help her blind muscular dystrophy son. The story still chokes me up, remembering what that pony was like. The kid could ride for hours and the pony would never even stumble, and refuse to move if he knew his hooves were too long. The kid heartbreakingly died about a year into having him. The mom swore to keep the pony until he died and bury him next to her son.

[@nancyreierson6230]

She is coping

[@NeonJJ_195]

When I was younger I had a Shetland pony mare who was blind in her left eye due to an accident when she was a foal. She's the sweetest, I basically learned how to properly ride on her

[@SexyVampir8]

@@blossomherd3921 So. Out of Interest - is it possible to ride a blind horse? What's the challenges when it comes to the barn to stand it? Would you tell?

[@jcmac47]

Thank you so much for letting the two horses go together. I used to rescue ferrets and I had a bonded pair that did everything together, Zeus and Chaos. When Zeus got cancer, we worried about what would happen with the other. Turned out Chaos had cancer as well. I asked the vets to inject them at the same time, so they would never be without each other. I cried when I saw you had done the same. Thank you for your compassion and understanding that animals can love each other deeply.

[@suecastillo4056]

I rescued ferrets as well years ago… they are SO amazing! Just love them! Little scamps!!! Bless you for doing that also! Love rescue people like these guys!!! Thank God for animal rescue peeps!!! These horses are just amazing to have survived and with the help of these wonderful persons? They’ve got another chance!♥️🤗🥰☮️☮️♥️‼️

[@katmandudawn8417]

I took in unwanted ferrets for years and I adored them. But I finally stopped because the prevalence of cancer. It was so hard to see them all die pretty horrible deaths. ( it’s all the inbreeding that has made the cancer so rampant) . My last baby died last year. I miss them but it was too hard.

[@suecastillo4056]

@@katmandudawn8417 hi dear… I know! The cancer is so awful in these guys! I stopped too for the same reason. Bless you for all you did do! I don’t even have any pets right now… it is way TOO HARD!!! The grooming shop I work at has a rescue and I have to sit on my hands to keep from taking anyone home!!! 😂😂😂they get adopted really fast thank God!!! Take care dear heart🥰and thanks for sharing!☮️💕‼️

[@jcmac47]

@@katmandudawn8417 I agree. The ferret mills and irresponsible breeding are definitely partially to blame, but I also think that pet food in general is full of chemicals and unhealthy fillers that reduce any animal's lifespan. I had seven ferrets, but the emotional toll of having them put down, one after the other, eventually made me stop, as well as the fact that I was six thousand dollars in debt from vet bills. I am sending you a hug because I know how difficult it is to say goodbye. They are such wonderful little personalities and I have many happy memories of laughter at their antics. : )

[@jcmac47]

@@suecastillo4056 I understand what you mean. I haven't been able to have a pet since then either. But lots of good memories and lots of laughter!

[@pnhnut]

Boy if I didn't live so far away I would love to adopt that beautiful blind girl. She has a special aura about her. I hope she finds the very best place to spend the rest of her years.

[@animalcrazee]

It takes a lot more strength than I have to say goodbye to the four who were so horribly neglected in the past ... thank you for ending their suffering and keeping them off the truck to Mexico.

[@terrillrogers9983]

Was so nice seeing you put down the Mom & daughter together. So happy seeing the little pony get her feet started on the road to recovery, she had the sweetest eyes. The blind mare was gorgeous, hope she finds someone to love her. You all got a very nice load of horses…look forward to seeing them bloom.

[@Galemor1]

Just before she talked about the hat and gloves she got, I was thinking about sending over a winter dress from Norway.. 😂

[@rubygreen158]

R.I.P. to the 4 horses who had to cross the Rainbow Bridge , where they now run forever free across green pastures . But at the same time , its awesome that all y'all were able to save 20 more from the slaughter pipeline and give them a chance at a wonderful life . I had a mini mare who had sight in only her left eye and she did quite well and yep she lost her sight in the other eye later on and she still did great . She was broke to ride and drive . She was a beautiful copper bay with a tiny star . She has a forever home with a close friend of mine .And I go see her . All of these horses and ponies and mules that lose their sight , most people dont realize they can still do things but they gotta do them a bit dif than before kind of like us people with prosthetics do .They just need a person or people who can take the time to work with them . Y'all have a blessed weekend and stay safe.

[@rosiecatbandit]

Tears for the bay mum and daughter who were put down together. It's good to know that you're aware of the horses' bonding and can support them like that.

[@cstarv]

I don't understand why people need to be so critical, as if they could do as much as you do. I am glad blind horses can be adopted; certainly trust your judgement. People need to be supportive not critical of your work

[@crimsonpony]

The blind chestnut mare is such a sweetheart. Thank you for taking responsibility and doing everything that the previous owners should have done.

So glad that Tawnee adopted little Cowboy!

[@sisswift8423]

Can you imagine being forced from your home? Can you imagine not having enough food and being sick? Can you imagine being put in a place where you don't know anyone? Thank you Horse Plus for helping those who cannot speak for themselves!

[@myssixensen7516]

I love to watch the horse get assest and the look on they're eyes coming off the trailers looking at the quarantine barn afterwards being at to auction....its like...is this place real? yes, horses, it's real it's safe and it's for you. And those pastures are for you, too!and those rolls of hay, and do you hear the foo inside the buckets? That's for you too,because they know you haven't had enough. And they have a couple of very kind gentlemen who will come by and will be very soft,and kind as they make sure your foot are in good condition! As for your little confusing friend- hermaphrodite just happens in nature a bit more often than you think. Though one does tend to be more prominent and well developed & functional. While the other less so and underdeveloped, sometime shaped and not functional. Lastly, Blind animals that adapt( which are many to most) are perfectly able to lead full, happy lives, on their own. Some like the set of cart ponies from the last auction, do better with a sighted friend to follow are ALSO still able to enjoy good quality of life. Plus, last time I checked, a horse that's being rode isn't in charge of where you're going, so..... oh and as prey animals (with their eyes on the side of the faces) their sight directly in front isn't that good anyways as their eyes aren't top of head/forward facing, so, yeah, aren't they're still relying heavily on YOU looking out for were they're going even when they're fully sighted? Hmmmm, now why are people bit*hing about HPH adopting blind horses? Seriously. SMH

[@nancyweliczko9334]

I love the blind mare she is gorgeous.

[@cheriebrantner5543]

A new fan in Wisconsin. I heard you mention Pony Tales so I had to look them up. They are near my hometown! Don’t back down to those who criticize. There is no possible excuse for NOT caring for your animals. I was a rural carrier for 30 years. I rescued injured kitties 🐈‍⬛ mostly and reported abused and neglected dogs to our humane officers.

[@joannemargaretcarolemontgo3103]

What you did was amazing too my friend. You were the sometimes unseen rescue hero that saved many babies lives! Whether you took them home, or made a call that saved them from the suffering they were enduring, you are their hero! Thank you for all the animals your actions have saved over all those years. God bless you always.

[@Rowdymotmot]

I think you guys do a wonderful job. I see nothing wrong with helping blind horses. You should point people to Endo the blind horse. He is quite amazing. I think all of the horses deserve a chance no matter what their infirmities are and thankfully you guys give those that cannot make it the last act of kindness, even when that is a hard call. Keep on doing what you are doing.

I love what you are doing with these beautiful creatures.

I'm too old now to be of much help, but I did change my giving through Amazon to Horse Shelter Heroes. It isn't a lot, but every single time that I buy something at Amazon a percentage of what I spend will be donated to you from Amazon. Anyone who shops thru Amazon can do it. Just go to their website and look around and you can decide if you want to help out this way. And I agree with others on here, please keep adopting out the blind babies too. That made that went through on this show was so pretty. If I had a place I would drive all the way out there from MN., and beg to adopt her. 💖💖👍👍

Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving. Appreciate the video and glad you saved more horses. Sad some were in bad shape and hoping that draft can stay upright and put on some weight. Have to agree about the blind horses. Some enjoy riding while others are great pasture friends to others. Their life doesn't have to end over a disability when they haven't given up. Just takes the right home. Stay warm and safe. Excellent video quality and clips.
