Rescue Mission in Progress: 2nd update - Buy-Out - 34 so far!

[@judygregoire5473]

Please take care of those ones that are in so much pain. Give them the act kindness

[@snoyes5687]

I’m so glad you gave that poor girl her last act of kindness right there. Sweet girl was in such pain. I’m so sorry. Thank you for doing that. 🙏🏻🐴

[@eury5405]

I used to watch this and get upset because I thought "Why are they giving the last act of kindness to all of these horses?!" ..... I wanted happy endings of them being rehomed and running free in a pasture. NOW, I 100% understand the absolute importance of rescuing as many of the ones that are suffering to put them out of their hell. It is heartbreaking, but a sigh of relief knowing that they are at peace. THANK YOU so much for what you do, I can only imagine it is heart breaking 😢😢😢

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Thank you for posting this, sharing what you’ve learned about this. I hope it helps others to understand. I often see those questioning comments, some accusing Horse Plus of terrible things. It does take some watching and learning to understand what’s really going on. Being prey animals, horses attempt to hide their pain. They don’t exhibit all the signs and sounds that humans would.

[@jessicaduncan9309]

I know it’s awful for the humans. Devastating. Every time. Every horse. These guys are warriors, doing what must be done. Doing what they each can. We can all match that. Be the change that you want want to see in the world. You are the only thing that you can control. Every little thing counts. It all matters.

[@dawnboyd1784]

I’m also glad you posted this. It instead to me that people try and make their last buck off of a severely damaged horse rather than pay for euthanasia which is what should have been done.

[@RachelKM17]

I was totally right there with you!! This video also helped me understand more!!

[@jessicaduncan9309]

@@dawnboyd1784 that’s precisely what they do

[@Ceretrea]

I cried so much at the pain these horses had to travel in. And the relief of those able to accept affection. You could tell they hadn't had any in such a long time. And they knew they were in a safe place 😢😢

[@dnurse3237]

What a blessing of relief for that poor mare. Rest in peace beautiful mare, rest in peace

[@lesleyewen-foster3629]

I am in awe of what you are doing. I know you enjoy wonderful triumphs, but the emotional pain you endure must be staggering. Thank you so much for your dedication and your strength. Yes, I will donate, gladly.

[@kellywalsh6735]

That poor girl with the feet, omg how horrible was that! That didn't happen overnight or in a couple of weeks. That was chronic neglect. Makes me so angry and ashamed to be part of a species that could inflict so much suffering onto another being. Thank yall so much for being there for her when no one else would.

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

Mercy is the greatest gift. That poor girl 💔 thanks to you she wasn’t forced to stand on a long trailer ride to a terrible death.

[@alicemcgivern77]

Sometimes thank you isnt enough.... But I will say it anyways...... Thank you all for helping these beautiful beings

[@yankeedoodledarling9232]

Thank you for immediately ending the suffering of that mare. All the animals are safe with you and that's a comfort to them on matter what their outcome may be. What a wonderful team you have.

[@user-wn5ow9fp6i]

Thank you for listening to the mare in so much pain😢

[@vintagelady1]

I don't know why you even want to go back to the auction---you're rescuing more horses than ever w/ the buyout program AND you have the satisfaction of knowing you're cutting into the auction house's profits. Nyah nyah! Plus you aren't wasting time fooling around at the auction! I say win, win, win!!

[@shellyjohnson8491]

Poor girl! Thank you for taking her away from her pain. I will never understand humans that let them get this bad. 🌈🐎

[@mtpockets5109]

If every auction house would refuse a horse in such bad shape it would be a huge step in the right direction. Cried when you put the mare down. Poor animals.

[@kezzen3930]

Both devastating and comforting to see how you listened to that poor mare. That is the absolute value of having a vet right there on sight to be able to deal with emergencies like this. How others let these poor animals suffer makes me just despair to tears. ❤

[@Loralie571]

After everything they've been through, how trusting some of these animals are. Breaks my heart but they're in good hands now

[@denisedavis6596]

It breaks my heart to see the neglect that these horses go through before they make it to you. Why can’t human beings act humanely!! That poor mare!!! Thank you for loving her so much to end her suffering. 😢

[@kallykat]

Rip beautiful girl… I hope your galloping now and eating the greenest grass over that rainbow. Thank you Tawnee and Lydia and Horse plus staff for everything you do. ❤️

[@IngridCZERWENKA]

YOU are all so empathetic with their pain. They are lucky to have you on their side as people have let them down,

[@rabarba6076]

The x-rays are horrible but you show everyone whats going inside the hoof. This is so important for horseowners to see and make them understand that horses need regular farriertreatment.

[@CrimFerret]

I started tearing up just watching that mare struggling to get off the truck and how bad it hurt to take every step. Thanks for ending her suffering. No animal under the 'care' of a human deserves that.

[@rehconcepts935]

You can see that cute horse that was getting a good scratch was remembering a time when someone was kind to him...perhaps really loved him.

[@OfficerPolaris]

Oh those poor babies! 😭💔💔

[@donnastanley9969]

That poor sweet mare, I am so glad you heard her xxx

[@donnac.1609]

I'm so glad you got that mare help so quickly. It is heart-wrenching every single time but a part of rescue that must be available! Thank you for giving her peace.

[@windytatom]

This breaks my heart. That poor horse can't even move..How dare to the people that let this happen😢

[@TerriResists]

I am so angry over the abuses perpetrated on these sentient creatures. And sad. I cry over these and the dog rescues I watch and support. Thank you.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

“We lead!” Cute. That foundered mare. So relieved she is at peace. Thank you all so much. There are no words.

[@bcgrote]

I've had bone on bone pain in my spine. I can relate to that poor mare. I'm glad she is out of pain at last. Thank you again, team, for your hard work and love.

[@59Alaskan]

Oh how watching these precious souls struggle and knowing why, tears me up!!!!! 😢🤬

[@peskycitizen7582]

QUESTION: Have you ever thought about making a dirt/grass covered ramp that the trailers can back up to? That would allow really sore horses to walk off the trailers instead of hopping down on sore legs. Just an idea to save the sore ones some pain.

[@Texas_homestead]

Donation: $1 for each rescued horse today. Thanks, Horse Plus! It’s beautiful the work you do, especially putting suffering horses down. I love horses. ❤️

[@Pa11en]

Thank you for the raw updates. They tell how ruff it really is and what you have to go through. It is so beyond my comprehension how some can treat animals.

[@CantStopScrollingHelp]

I actually am enjoying this form of content a little more than the regular episodes. I really like the organic nature of just showing the process. Thanks all.

[@JudithASmith]

Thank you for doing what is best for these poor beautiful horses. I have done rescue work and know how hard it is to give them the last act of kindness but it ends their suffering.

[@kimberlypfleuger4261]

I have watched most of all of these videos and have seen so many tragic cases , but the foundered horse that was barely able to walk made me instantly bawl my eyes out . Just want to reach out and comfort her so badly .

[@terriemetzler9498]

You are saving more horses in the buy out program along with saving money with gas and an overnight stay.

[@trudypowell8303]

Not to mention the time for traveling to and from the auction.

[@carolirvine3367]

I'm sobbing for that poor mare, thank you Dr Lydia for acting so quickly and humanely to end her suffering. I can't imagine the toll this must take on you all, thank you for your strength in doing what you do.

Aww bless the little mare I sobbed the minute I saw her complete and utter neglect she qas in so much pain I felt every step thankyou for helping her you all are really incredible bless her suffering heart R.I.P sweetheart ❤❤ you run free

[@Gothikah]

To see the most broken animals, still accept, listen and try to give love back just breaks my heart. We are not worthy :(

[@thedesken]

I really enjoyed this video. A more personal take is a nice addition. Oh, thank you so much for taking care of the mare. I know it brought more work for all of you. But, your final act of kindness was loving 💗

[@angelastjohn3154]

It was hard to watch, but I hope you do more video content like this one. I liked how up close and personal it was, and less edited. It was real, and allowed me and all of us as the viewers to really connect with these precious lives, just for a moment in time. Bless you for your compassion and dedication!

[@traceywoodbridge3396]

More than heartbreaking

[@junewebber2107]

I am so glad that you have Dr. Lydia as permanent vet she seems to have a lovely natural way with the horses. I hope she will be with you for many years. You all do wonderful work with these poor horses and I am sure they really feel they will have a better life. Take care.

[@grannieannie1371]

Thank heavens that poor mare with the messed up feet came to you and got the last act of kindness. Poor girl going to action then onto Mexico would have been more agony and then she would be dead anyway. At least this way her suffering was cut short and she passed with kindness, dignity and love. A hard job but absolutely essential

[@Operngeist1]

Nice to see guinea pigs at your rescue. I've kept guinea pigs for over 20 years. Most importantly they should never be kept alone, they need at least one partner or they really suffer.

[@janekilgour9578]

That is heartbreaking, the poor mare. Thank you for acting quickly and ending her suffering.

[@heathercummins1644]

Small favors for these poor babies... At least the weather cooperated to help them not be so miserable on top of everything else. And grateful for all of you also! Thank you so much for this update! ❤❤

thank you for your last acts of kindness promptly given for relief of the agony other humans put her through.weeping here in CT and thank you for letting us see what you go through regularly. bless you all.

[@talonsaerie]

One of the toughest things to do for ones beloved horse is the most loving thing to do and the responsible thing to do ... the last act of kindness .. making decisions like this is part of having fur babies in our families. I have had horses prone to laminitis and its my responsibility to manage their condition just like one handles their childs diabetic condition...tawny you and your crew are angels on earth ..i could see the relief in these horses eyes as they unloaded ... they know they are in a safe place with food and love and humans who are not afraid of making the tough decision regarding the ladt act of kindness . Thankyou to everyone who is part of the rescue intake.

[@42Meglet]

[@stilllearning8360]

Thank you Tawney. I donate small amounts when I can. So wish I could do more. Y'all are truly HEROS!!! 💞

Praying for continue strength for the hard work you do in rescue. Seeing the worse and carrying on is incredible. Joy comes from those who adopt!

[@kerrismith5986]

That poor beauty you had to put down in the yard area, could she be named Bethany? I can't give you a reason why. All I can think of is Bethany when I think of her. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for doing the hard yards for this lady and making the right decision for her.

[@karenpiotte90]

So glad that poor girl didn't have to suffer one more day! It's just unforgivable to make a horse that served you for years get treated like trash!

[@adelstander4900]

The "last act of kindness" is the most beautiful term I have ever heard for euthanasia. Such a disgrace that for some of them it is one of very few acts of kindness from humans. Sad and angry mixed with grateful for Horse Plus being there for these horses.

[@kerithoma1955]

Thank you guys, so so much for sending the mayor with the really bad coffin bone disease to the rainbow bridge. Now she’s not suffering anymore and your team treats. Those horses when they come in with such respect it’s so awesome to see and you guys are so gentle with them when they come off transport.everybody keep up the great work and good luck with the next truck of horses that come

[@lyndakowalke8858]

That poor mare - how on earth could anyone still have tried to make money on her - it’s so heartbreaking! Thank you for relieving her of the god knows how long of being in such terrible pain. I am so glad you did it immediately. She couldn’t have gone any more than she did. Ride high and free over the rainbow precious one 🐎 🐴🌈 This 2nd lot of equines looked mostly in a lot better shape than the initial ones. What was really noticeable in most of them, was a lot of the stress from the auction was missing, they somehow, even used to so long having pain, happy to be outside together, in the sun - they were chomping away although terribly dehydrated. They somehow seemed happy. They are safe, they have been rescued - they have a good chance of a long rest life in I hope loving and caring families. God bless you all at horse plus! You are walking angels 😇❤️

[@adelstander4900]

Broken hearted for that foundered horse. So much pain. Horses are so precious, we don't deserve them.

[@nargilblue]

This buyout programme seems so much calmer for the horses than the auctions. I'm sending hugs and courage to your whole team to keep going with the hard decisions, especially your vets and those on the sharp end of the rescues. The fact you make a decision to let the horses cross the rainbow bridge rather than trying to eak out a limited life full of medical treatment with no guaranteed long term outcome can only be a kindness.

[@sternenhimmel4637]

Whenever the horses leave the trailers at your facility I am SURE they feel the atmosphere of peace. Even though some can only put down. At a point, where they should never have come to. Monster humans who kept them that way.

The horse in so much pain just broke my heart. It's like he/she knew this was a safe place and they didn't have to use every bit of fight to stay with the herd. I'm glad you were able to perform the last act of kindness. Dr. Lydia is a saint. I'm glad she chose to work with rescues.

[@HughLlewellyn]

Thank you for taking the pain away from those horses that needed it so badly. I felt sick looking at the xrays of that foundered mare's feet. The way her coffin bones were shoved through the bottoms of her soles, and just disintegrated. What kind of sociopathic MONSTER looks at their horse and thinks it's ok to let them suffer like this for the YEARS it took for her feet to get this bad? I wish there was some accountability. Laws must change! I'm glad some of these rescues appeared younger and healthy. The affectionate ones break my heart. Did some little girl love them once? Do they wonder where she went? I want to take them all home and love them for the rest of their days.

[@judytinker3392]

This first Bayhorse needs some precious act of kindness immediately please get her taken care of so she’s not in any pain. She just looks totally miserable. Along with that fall please hurry.

They have wonderful personalitys.

Thank you so much for videoing this and put in the extra work of videoing it and uploading it and taking the time to do it I hope it's uploaded to Facebook too I really can't comprehend how people have abused these horses to this point but I like oh you're just putting it out there raw and it's good for people to see what's happening and what you're having to deal with at your rescue in what your intercepting and the good you're doing how much longer would that horse have been on a trailer how many more hours would have had to suffer if it had not ended up thankfully at the shelter with these rescue people so to everybody that works for horse plus and intercepts these heartbreaking cases and to the vet thank you very very much I like this raw unedited additions to the other videos because it really shows what you're having to deal with and I think showing horses suffering and having to be euthanized is a good thing to put it out there so when people want to come against you as an organization and Rescue do they have no place to talk you guys are doing the hard work that nobody else wants to do they just want to make money off these animals so shame on people that are putting these animals through this thank you to the people that are here helping these horses and ending their suffering any critics to this organization should find out who's doing this to the horses and go after them not horse plus and the employees here who are doing the hard difficult heartbreaking work I can't emphasize enough how critical it is for people to see what you all see and have to deal with
