You all are awesome! Does Dora have a social media platform? I would love to follow her journey!

[@margelittleboy]

Dr. Lydia, as a retired nurse, (SICU/PICU & Burn Unit), I loved working with doctors who were down to earth, brilliant, knowledgeable and had a caring heart. I also loved their ability to teach with the ability to encourage us to continue in our growth to better ourselves, all while providing the best possible care to our critical patients. You are an amazing woman and vet. Knowing how difficult the decisions are that you often have to make, your compassion comes shining through. All at Horse Plus are blessed to be working beside you. Thank you for all you do with all the animals that come in and thank you for sharing the procedures that you do, to give them a better quality of life, or the last act of kindness when that is needed. God bless you and your family.

She is perfect for the team and rescue!

[@shannonly23]

She is breathtakingly beautiful. And what a spectacular adopter!!!

[@jillking5876]

Dora is an amazingly sweet mare. What a horrible mess she was left to deal with. Thank you for helping her!

[@patriciamathis7042]

I cry watching most of the intake videos, but today I found out that I can cry at adoption videos too. What a great outcome for these 3 beautiful horses ❤❤

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

Indeed.

[@cynthiacarter514]

I love when this adoptive family are in the uploads. They all have such a sweet spirit. I know the horses they take home are going to be treated with love and kindness.

[@fairygodmomma2313]

Me too, happy tears👋

[@dalairem]

Thank you for caring so well for Sweet Miss Dora, and her terrific adopters for giving her the forever home she deserves. 🥰 (ETA: And Andy and Jethro, too! Gosh, what a lovely herd they have brought home!)

[@ITSTEMP2X]

Each of the horses brought something new to us and we’re so blessed to have them🥹

[@fairygodmomma2313]

​@@ITSTEMP2Xso happy for you, what a wonderful ending!

[@fairygodmomma2313]

Beautifully stated.

[@dalairem]

What an absolutely gorgeous face she has and overall beautiful mare. So glad she’s had such a wonderful outcome. This must be such a rewarding case for Dr Lydia ❤❤❤

[@patriciasmith3973]

What an awesome outcome for all those horses, especially Dora! Great work everyone!!

[@obiwankenobi6952]

What a Girl…standing right in the Pasture having the stitches removed….amazing smart Horse, she deserves the best of all homes after all that ….Dr Lydia and Dr Gina are such a good team…wonderful work….❤

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

OMG! What a difference on Dora's feet - amazing! Awesome on the trachea device removal too. Go Dora!

[@traceywoodbridge3396]

I work with hundreds of vets. Dr Lydia is the best, the most knowledgeable, the quickest at diagnosing. One in a Million. Dr Gina you are right there. You are gentle, confident, incredible surgeon, loving and caring Veterinarian and i also put you 1, with Lydia and also my 18h Friesans name is Gina. ❤

[@asdfasdghg]

Beautiful 😍

[@chrissteinhelper599]

What a beautiful story! So happy for Dora! Thank you all for her care! I love watching Caitlyn being so independent in her house care!

[@wendy6781]

My sentiments exactly. Happy trails, Dora!

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

What a wonderful outcome. I really enjoyed Dora's story, and am so very happy that she, Jethro and Andy found such a wonderful new home. Hopefully her new rider will have tons of fun on the trail with her.

[@sstarkey1695]

Dora is so beautiful and graceful! She found herself an amazing forever home! All the best, Dora and family!!!

[@jeanninelockridge5235]

What a sweet beautiful lady Dora is!! Thank you all for everything you did for her. What a great end to what could have been a really sad situation. So good to see she found an awesome forever home.❤❤

[@surestar74]

"Do you like old men?" So cute!!

[@DodPod89]

I can’t believe how calm and gentle she is. 🖤🖤🖤

[@cgateley]

Maybe her family will give us an update on how she is doing along with the other horses they have adopted. I think it would be AMAZING to see how some of the adopted horse's new lives are going and how amazing being loved is now and cared for as they should be. Doras story when she came in, I thought she would have to be put down and to see her get through everything and load on a trailer to go home made me cry!

[@ITSTEMP2X]

I’m on it right now!

[@akantiia]

So happy for Dora, she got a good loving home! Wishing her and those lovely ladies all the best 💜

[@milkweeddreams8828]

[@meganbosco7016]

I love these adopters! I thought I remembered them and then they said they had adopted previously. Couldn’t have asked for better home for sweet strong Miss Dora! Thank you for giving her a great home!

[@dianeboross6978]

Dora is gorgeous. I am so glad for a happy ending here. This makes everything worthwhile.

[@fairygodmomma2313]

All kinds of warm fuzzies & a bit of tears as well for Dora. Thank you Horse Plus!!

[@bathsheba.b8656]

So good to see a story with a happy ending, more of these please, including footage of their lives in their new homes, otherwise your channel can get a bit depressing to watch on a regular basis.

[@Salaria-es7ef]

Ich habe selten so ein wunderbares Pferd gesehene.

[@lspthrattan]

I love seeing draft horses being used for riding; I rode a half-draft for lessons years and years ago, and her temperament was absolutely the best. Big horses are a smoother ride, too, in my opinion. Not surprised she found a good home so fast; scar or not, she's a beauty. What a wonderful thing you've all done.

[@zsworld6609]

this horse stole my soul. wish I could of adopted her. glad she found a great home

[@tommyosuccess7919]

what a gorgeous horse Dora is!

[@lindag4484]

Great horses go to a good home. It doesn't get any better than that! 🐴❤👍

[@KathyCoker53]

Thank You Horse Plus and adopters!

[@karenschaaf4810]

The best horse rescue. I recommend all that can afford it to donate to this agency. I do so monthly.

[@novamcclung5382]

I'm so glad took the time and took care that sweet horse

[@cynthiamcgee4829]

God bless you for working so hard to alleviate her tracheotomy infection. And for her being healthy again. And for all of the horses you rescue God bless you. 💕🐎

[@tobytails4650]

Beautiful story....thank you HP for caring!!

[@dianabrown833]

She must be so much more comfortable and happy. Thank heavens for you guys! Sweet adaptors too!

[@wolfmare50]

She’s such a kind mare. So glad she found you. ❤

[@shirokageryaka]

Dora, I am really happy that you healed and got a forever home with your other friends. This is so sweet.😊😊Thank you to those kind people who rescued them and gave them another chance

[@cynthiamcgee4829]

That's awesome they took all three. All three of those horses are going to have a wonderful forever home. 💕🐎

[@nicsprettypapers4843]

Beautiful girl ❤

[@Pa11en]

Thank you so much for this. It is awesome to hear these success stories for us as well as your staff, especially when we know the heartbreaking stories you see on every intake.

[@jacquiemunroe7740]

I remember when she arrived at the intake barn. Thank you Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina for helping this beautiful mare. Thank you HPHS and all your staff for the love and care that you show each and every animal that comes through your gate.

[@memphis2375]

What a great success story! I just love her new people too! ❤❤❤

[@amandaoulson8140]

Dora is a stunner for sure. Great to see her get a new job with people that love her. J

[@nancyjohnson2070]

I love Dora's story! So nice to see that she's going to a loving home. Like everyone, I would have loved to adopt her. I learned how to ride on a draft cross. They are definitely gentle giants. Congratulations Dora you have found your forever home. 😍😍

[@stardust949]

Great Job on Dora's journey!! She's so huge that Dr. Lydia looked like a 15-year-old kid up on top of her, LOL!

[@Miss449686]

I am so happy for Dora -- she is awesome !!

[@theresalewis6301]

Was so lovely to see a fantastic success story an Dora is doing so well in her forever home I have to say I was waiting for the but !! an luckily it never came thank you horse plus for all that you do for these precious fur babies ❤

I have loved draught horses since i first saw them when i was little. But Andy?!? 🤩🤩🤩 What a majestic creature

[@mariagillinson8527]

Our dear vets need a seats to be able to work on the horses … please!

[@maggiefreeman6513]

Wow what a wonderful happy ending ❤ Thank you so much for all you did for Dora ❤

[@Emurderproductions]

I love that someone braided her mane , how sweet!

[@laurafratoni7931]

Thank goodness she got to you guys. Dr Lydia is amazing human

[@jjump01]

I remember this. I thought she wasn't going to make it, so it's good to hear she did make it and found a home.

[@bethpotts-mee8730]

I remember Dora from the April buyout. She has such a dignified presence and confidence. Her adopters will learn what a treasure she is. Drs. Lydia & Gina you are rock stars! The HPHS staff you are too. Dora's tracheostomy tried to kill her & failed. The smell tried to kill everyone & nearly succeeded! I swear I could smell it with you. Blessings for your kindness & loving care. Cotton balls in the nostrils & mouth-breathing is your only defense! Thank you!

[@ann66pearson4]

So happy for Dora. What a sweet girl she is.

[@piphughes2650]

She's magnificent!

[@breeanaoldham2634]

This was so fun! Thank you for blurring the gross out! I’m a big baby about that stuff!

[@Lifeisgoodbelieve1in3]

She's such a beautiful girl❤

[@user-gj4lv3tz3o]

I wish I could adopt her. She’s just a gem

[@francineherron1940]

I am so thrilled that Dora found a forever home, she sure deserves it. Thank you Dr. Lydia for taking out the trac, I can't believe how well her throat healed in such a short period of time, no lumps or scarring. She was such a sweet horse 🐴❤️

[@plushpossum]

When a doctor is disgusted, you can bet it's bad! That poor horse has been smelling that for who knows how long. Poor girl. 😢She's beautiful.

[@Dondofemru1974]

So happy for Dora!

[@pattiharwood48]

❤❤❤❤ thanks for saving this grand beauties

[@vickiefauhl9355]

I so love that she was adopted she is such a beautiful sweet girl 🎉🎉🎉

[@amyayers9374]

I love this video so much!!! Dora is a dream.❤

[@jcampbell100]

Great job all. What a super horse. Hope we get an update.

[@TheHarpExplorer]

To say I am happy to see that Dora found a loving home would be an understatement. It is frustrating to see how few draft horses can be saved. They are much more vulnerable due to their size, and yet they are worked to death by certain people/communities. To see you guys pull Dora out of the pipeline and have her come out of this mess sound and even rideable is incredibly rewarding.

[@neifader]

I love these videos that show the different horses stories!❤

[@vickiefauhl9355]

I was so happy to see her story and to know that she wasn't one of the losses 😢😢😢

[@JulieAnderocci]

What a wonderful vet team❤❤❤❤❤

[@shereneliscom6736]
