Never Giving Up! 56 Horses Saved - Horse Shelter Heroes S4E46

[@lynettedunn6272]

When people complain that you guys put down some rescue they need to think. "Do you want to die in jail or at home?" Home and with love is always better.

[@trishbluedorn1806]

Agreed! Same for small animals ... dogs, cats, bunnies, etc.

[@cynthiacarter514]

True. Also we as humans we can lay down, use wheelchair, crutches, etc. A horse has no option but to stand on four legs without the help of an apparatus. What a painful life to stand and walk on painful injuries.

[@shantispliff9284]

Euthanasia is the equivalent of drowning only you're paralyzed and can't scream or move to do anything about it. Not peaceful, pure torture. Should investigate things instead of just thinking its peaceful for your own peace of mind. Find out the facts first.

[@bethlehman8307]

So happy the lady who adopts blind horses keeps coming back to adopt more. Thank you. She is so sweet.

[@ReptilesGeniales]

I agree 100%

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Yes!

[@kathleenmoyer5478]

Yes she is wonderful!

[@ellimae1548]

Yes she is so wonderful

[@detngator]

Wonderful news for the blind horses.

[@IamGingaNinja]

A house that has had a pet in it will always feel empty without one

[@kathleenredick275]

Yep. Just had put my 13 year old love (dog) down. I rescued her 11 years ago. Now all I have is my 26 year old Arabian - have had him for 20 years. Not a rescue. He's living his best retirement life now. ❤

[@lynnie0524]

Former Lipizzaner breeder here... I can definitely see Hungarian Lipizzaner in Black Beauty. They're shaped somewhat differently than the Austrian Lipizzaners, and there is a much higher percentage of true blacks in the Hungarian population. What a classy horse. He'll look amazing once he's gained some weight and some muscle. Whoever adopts him will really end up with something special!

[@francineherron1940]

Yes and not end up in auction again, he fell through the cracks somehow, poor boy 🙁

[@lisaflesher]

What ever happened to the horse with all the ear warts that the last vet was treating?

[@lisaflesher]

@@francineherron1940 I hope his ears are better. Thanks for letting me know.

[@defectivegoat5712]

So sorry about Sir Galahad. But he passed the way he naturally should have. In a green pasture, under blue sky, with horse friends and knowing what true love and care was at an older age at a place he could call his final home. RIP Sir Galahad.

[@rosegarden9575]

Absolutely.

[@pameladanford7401]

People seem willing to bring the horses to you instead of taking them to auction. Thanks for all you do for them.

[@sandrabeck8788]

The Lady who adopted the brown puppy…I know exactly what you are talking about! I retired, took off in a camper and was so lonesome! Got a puppy on the road. Often bought “why why did I do this? In the middle of the night , when it had to potty, or wanted to play. But he is the BEST DOG!!! He’s 8 years old now and such a great companion.

[@philomenadennehy8585]

He past away among friends He allowed himself to go In peace. In tranquility In quiet. Among food and Love

[@Krookavan]

The lady that adopted the blind horses is an absolute hero and a star 🌟

[@cynthiamcgee4829]

I'm so sorry for the loss of Sir Galahad. You did everything you could, now he's galloping free across the Rainbow Bridge young wild & free once again.💕🐎🌈

[@ddawe31635]

AMEN❤🎉!

[@MDR62MULES]

It doesn't matter what they died from when they are old and not in good shape. You don't adopt out the thin needy horses until you get them to the shape you want. What IS important is that he wasn't butchered and he died in a safe place with food.

[@writingskills7352]

Yay for Suzanna, who adopts and cheers for blind horses. I'm really curious about her organization. Could the media team visit her there sometime and tell us a little more how she and the HP adoptees are doing?

[@marionnatale8230]

I was focused on his ears and how he holds himself. I believe there is a strong Akhal-Teke line there. He is stunning. 🙏❤️🥰

[@Geokonj]

His ears definitely say Akel Tik! He is gorgeous!

[@francineherron1940]

Yes I agree with you. The ears, confirmation, high head carriage. I hope HP hangs on to him for a long time, and the right person to adopt him.

[@marymcclavey8395]

I agree with that breed suggestion.

[@sheilapowers9828]

Same here! And that long, slender neck!

[@brotchenmonster]

As an equine vet tech I‘m very impressed by your management concerning herd health, medication plans and surgeries. Thank you for your hard work - Happy New Year to you all 🧡

[@jennifersawyer8207]

Likewise!

[@sandyloyst1811]

That girl that rescues the blind horses is my absolute favorite. Her personality rocks. Tawnee, after all the ups and downs this past year, I think you mastered it like a BOSS!

[@lonnyfuller7830]

This may not come out right. I love what you all do. My prayer is that someday we get laws passed so there is no need for you or anyone to have to rescue from the slaughter pipe line. Until then keep up the fight.

[@jessicaosborne1842]

It's so sad that the family waited so long to call for help and let those puppies get so skinny. But good for them and thank you owners for swallowing your pride and calling for help We all need help sometimes. And our fur babies should never suffer because of it.

[@kaliru1]

It must've been so hard hitting rock bottom. I hope they got help for themselves

[@brucemanley7593]

Yep, unfortunately there are alot of laws that need attention. It's high time the world wakes up, and if United States and Canada can lead the changes so much better!❤ And thank you Tawnee for always updating the public!!

[@meycoe]

Shocking to see horses down in the trailer 😢. Thanks for saving them. Love all the dog rescues. 🐕 happy new year gang!! 🎉

[@juliesbackyard]

Yes very sad to see and the little pony being crushed under another. Heartbreaking

[@HughLlewellyn]

A part of me was very angry with the Amish guy who packed them into the trailer that way. But... he also went to the auction and got more horses out of there to bring to Horse Plus. He likely paid less for them at auction than he got back from Horse Plus through the buy out program, so he probably made a little profit. However, they still ended up with Horse Plus instead of shipping to slaughter. The ones who can be saved now have a chance at a new life. And those who couldn't, went out peacefully and painlessly, surrounded with love.

[@sandyverwys770]

That's a LOT of horses saved this month!! HPHS's perseverance wins and it's a huge loss for the auction house that intended to hurt YOU. Awesome! You rock!

[@HughLlewellyn]

I LOVE that Horse Plus is eating away at Triple W's commission profits. Serves them right. Banning Horse Plus from the auction was pretty short sighted on their part.

[@tracym6297]

I can see Akhal Teke in his ears and the way his neck goes into his withers. It's a slender breed of horse, too. Not saying he isn't underweight. But he won't fill out like a QH or typical horses we usually see in the US. He's going to be even more STUNNING when he is up to proper weight. 😍

[@down2this754]

That's what I was thinking. Akhal Teke are a very slight bodied breed. IIRC they need more protein in their diet as well. But he may never really ' fatten up'

[@dreamingof777]

Dr. Lydia is absolutely amazing! Intelligent, articulate, compassionate, and has such an incredible work ethic. Dr. Lydia thank you for being you ❤💐

[@lori3056]

Black Beauty definitely has the Akhal Teke ears and head carriage. How exciting! Happy Holidays!

[@oldtastic6G]

Black Beauty's blood lines are so interesting! I'm having fun trying to imagine how he got to you.

[@francineherron1940]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing

[@HappyShackHomestead]

Extremely interesting combination of bloodlines in that gorgeous Black Beauty. Wow… I was sure he had Arabian somewhere in the mix. This one worked on me a little bit…. Actually, a lot❣️😢 ….. in regards to the family who fell on hard times & chose to give up their 3 dogs…🦮🦮🦮 Wow, my heart broke for them. 💔 I wish you could have maybe worked your little magic & asked for donations to help this family. 🙏✝️ I know I would donate a few dollars. For all the views you get think about it… if each person could even donate 💵$1.00 … a nice chunk of change could have been raised for them. Especially during this time of year. I’m saying a prayer 🙏that something good happens for this family. Being without, its a hard pill to swallow. Maybe it’s not too late… would you consider sponsoring a 💰💰go fund me drive to help get them back on their feet ? I don’t know them… but I feel so bad for them. 🙏✝️🕊️

[@judieelliott4]

The clever cowgirl just had one with Caspian DNA. He originally came from TX. So wild .

[@caitlinlemmens7342]

Fun fact about Caspian horses, their genetics are so old they are considered as one of the ancestral breeds for all oriental breeds we know now (akhal-theke, barb, Arabian and Turkoman are the most known) the barb is on its turn the foundation breed for alot of European breeds such as the lippizaner, Andalusian,... So flows nicely in together with black beauty.

[@francineherron1940]

Thanks to the young lady who adopted the two blind horse's, I remember she has adopted blind horse's from HP in the past, she has a soft spot for the blind one's❤

[@karensayer3089]

Is she connected to the lady who takes blind horses,and gives their sight back. Was amazed to find out , a horse can have intraocular lens surgery.

[@PandorasTub]

I did't think I'd ever hear the sentence "the USDA had been great to work with" but I'm happy things are going great!

[@edithdannemiller1358]

Sorry about Sir Galahad, The poor old guy. I know he was very old and thin but his coat was so shiney. It shows you helped as much as you all could. He is out of pain and running free

[@user-riley0319]

Thankfully the owners of the three dogs ensured their horses wouldn’t suffer unduly that they donated them to Horse Plus. Their dogs are obviously happy souls, so it must have been a terrible experience for them to be unable to feed them, let alone themselves.I cannot understand how a family can lose their food stamps if they cannot afford to feed themselves. Obviously not all owners are bad people, but sometimes their circumstances are beyond their control. So let’s hope this family can enjoy a Merry Christmas like their dogs, thanks to the generosity of others.

[@KatrinaLPate]

That white dog (Nova) is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! If it weren't for the fact that I already have 4 rescue dogs, 3 dogs, and 3 cats, I would come over there and pick her up.

[@cynthiabowers3109]

My little Gram used to say don't be selfish when, it's time to let some one go, let them go. Our physical bodies are on loan to us. Riley has been full of life and has a wonderful temperament (like Sjors). When, it's time to let him go he'll be whole again. ❤❤❤✌️

[@ninakaiser2930]

So sad to hear about Sir Galahad‘s passing! He is in a better place and is now resting peacefully. Happy to see Troy doing some evaluations! Some of the horses from the buyout program have been is such a rough shape. I am just glad you were able to step up and help them. The rescue mission with the dogs had me in tears. „They lost their food stamps“. I fell an pretty bad hardships after an emergency back surgery four years ago and have been unable to work since then. I am well aware if I wouldn’t have been living in Germany I could have easily ended up on the streets myself. So glad the dogs have been rescued! And my favorite adopter, Susan, has been back, I have been waiting for her! She is just so kind and nice. I love how she advocates for blind horses. Oh my gosh, Black Beauty has Akal Thekene in him! I was thinking about that breed when I saw him but completely regarded it as it seemed very unlikely. So glad he was saved! It’s again proof that horses from all walks of life could end up in a tough spot. Wishing everyone hopefully some rest before the new Year starts!

[@VK-qe7if]

Thank you for saving all the horses, and Donkeys, but so sad for the ones who were in such a bad way. 🐴😢😢😢

[@122Kittykat]

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year. I'm so sorry about Sir Galahad. Poor thing finally had food and love. But he passed knowing that there was still good in his life. Black Beauty is gorgeous and what a unique horse he is. Don't worry about the naysayers. What a bunch of Karens! Can you imagine living your life with someone who is never happy and always miserable! Thanks for a great year of videos.

[@joanbryant4601]

Amen!

[@ddawe31635]

You're so right! Naaaaysayets & Karens...GO ON, GIT!❤

The buyout program is keeping horses out of the auction-a super creative program. It is stretching your intake capacities but you are meeting the challenge. Good work!

[@trudypowell8303]

Watching from Oregon. So sad to see the condition of these animals but wonderful that they didn’t end up going to slaughter.

[@ddawe31635]

Sir Galahad was loved & he definitely knew it. I'm glad he had you! Glad he had US! ❤ For those that donate...he had us as well. I'm sad he suffered..but glad he had US at the end of his life.

The blind horses are amazing to ride and if they are broken in properly before they go blind they gain their trust they are the best to ride

[@moccasinlanding]

What an outstanding TEAM you have at HP! To think that you accomplish so much with such a small Core Team is a credit to the willingness to go beyond average and to do the IMPOSSIBLE. Also, this year has been unique with its challenges, and with its triumphs over adversity. I was so pleased to see the lady return for two more blind horses.....she is awesome and a confirmed supporter of HP. The three starving dogs Tawnee picked up from the boondocks beyond cell service is also a commentary on the lack of resources in your area.....not just the dogs, but the plight of their human family is equally distressing. May the New Year find all humans in need with full bellies, and all the animals in need having a safe haven. God bless all of the HP Team, all of the supporters as well. Peace be with you all always.❤😊

[@maryainsworth5022]

[@sandynorris1250]

Enjoyed this vlog very much. Thank you for the great work you do. I have been a foster mom for our local humane society for many years.. If I can make a few suggestions regarding puppies you so generously take in. That cute little girl at the front desk was saying the puppies were only five weeks old and maybe they could not wormed yet. Puppies need to be wormed at 2,4,6, and 8 weeks. Five weeks old,, if they have not been dewormed, they are past due. If you try putting a lightweight vinyl dog house in those large stalls with cedar shavings. it will keep them off the floor, warmer, and they will smell better. The dog houses can be disinfected between different pups that come in. They learn to distinguish the sleeping area from the potty area. Puppy pads are useful for training young pups where to potty, and will keep the concrete floors cleaner. Puppies, as I’m sure you are aware, can develop coccidia and giardia from stepping in their poop, licking their paws, and ingesting the bacteria. You can take these suggestions with a grain of salt. You guys know what you are doing. I was just trying to pass on some hacks I have learned over the years. 🤓

[@be_me]

Black Beauty really is a beauty, just as special as his namesake. His head is very Lipizzaner, but he also has this showy attitude, and the gate, coat, and slender build, it's so Achal Teke. I can totally see it. Absolutely gorgeous horse!

Wow I really understand why you named him Black Beauty. I don't think I''ve ever seen a horse with such a deep black coat.

Happy New Year to all there. That mother and foal are adorable. She seems especially calm about having you with her foal too which will make life a lot easier. That one Kory gave a hug to seemed like they'd have happily stayed like that all day. There are some amazing looking horses in this group and sadly some in horrendous condition. I know the best decision will be made for them as always. The last hands touching them will be loving ones. I was sad to see that one blind horse need a final goodbye. They looked like they'd been dusted with a light layer of snow. That poor mimi with the shoulder more or less out of joint should not have needed to get all the way to you to have the right thing done for her. While I know you all want to get back into the auction, I sort of hope you rescue enough before they get sold there that they have to shut down. As you said, they stuck a hill in the way and you all build a tunnel with a superhighway going through it. The state can't say Boo now. I'm sure the good ol' boys will try to find other hurdles to put in your way, because they are too stupid to realize that jumping hurdles makes you stronger.

[@cynthiamcgee4829]

I'm glad you're helping them even if you have to do the last after kindness because at least they don't suffer anymore and for the ones that you get that you can adopt out that's wonderful. Happy New Year and may the New Year bring many blessings to you and the animals that you save. 💕🙏

Buy out programm is a great option to make even more people bringing the equines to you first. Guaranteed price, "rid" of the animal and of the work to get them sold. I am ashamed that THEY are not ashamed to "help" handling horses in so poor conditions. But luckily -however- because they are that cruel - it brings the horses to safety without horrible ways throughout auctions and worse. Great video. You are great. Your network will grow and become stronger and stronger. No idea why your channel isn't up to millions of followers yet.

1:20 - already crying over the old guy who passed away. I work with dogs.. I don't work with horses but I rode them in my childhood. My heart hurts for you guys more than any other rescue people because of the laws and also changes in the past 20 years that basically KEEP people from being able to properly care for horses. It's become such an astronomical expense and it's not fair to the horses. Ahhh so many thoughts. Anyway... because of your rescue I learned about the Big Lick horses and for that education alone I am very grateful.

[@nickygentle9246]
