Horse Shelter Heroes S5E19 - Tornado Aftermath Rescue

[@barbgardiner5719]

As a person who now needs a 3rd spine surgery, I understand how important soft tissue tests are! 😬💕

[@judypierce7028]

I once judged Tennessee Walking Horse shows and I can tell you it is a heartbreaker to watch these beautiful animals wear these 7" pads around the clock. It is similar to a woman wearing highheels around the clock 7 days a week. The big lick needs to be against the law. Years ago, I purchased a show name that I had watched for over a year. I had the farrier to remove the pads and all shoes. Her front hoofs were so soft that the vet said it would take a good year if not longer for her hoofs to grow to the point that they would be "normal." I am a little too old to go out and protest with you folks, but my thoughts and prayers are with you in this effort to stop this awful "spring" horses.

[@synnvekjerstad5705]

I cant help it, I have tears in my eyes after Tawnee told us about this amazing Lady who will donate so much. She is so great. Please give her my big thanks.

[@mayforddavis9291]

The ""Big Lick" should have been banned years ago. Plantation shod on the Walkers are great. Nothing like a Natural Walker.

[@diamondwhite1]

That is such a lovely thing your doing helping out fellow neighbors when the need is great 👍 ❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@timilisafogal6990]

I'm so happy to get an update on Mathias! I watched him come through intake, and saw how smitten Dr. Lydia was with him. I think he's gorgeous and humongous!! I'm glad he's doing so well!!

[@xjwxsweetness]

I would put money on Dr Lydia giving Mathias a forever retirement home.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

Oh yay, glad you named Mathias as the one Dr Lydia said she felt an instant connection with! This update was great as he is doing well and he is younger than most drafts that get rescued , Maybe he will be going on with Dr. Lydia.....

[@HelenBaker-fd9tc]

I've been submitted 1year ago and and I think you guys are doing great job and help anyone else that in need great job guys keep it up

[@kimberlypfleuger4261]

When Tawnee announced the generosity of the amazing donor I literally had the chills ! Good chills !! Thank God for the gift of truly giving people !!

I’m typically a silent viewer but I gotta give you a big round of applause for not only What you do for your facility and the horses you rescue but what you do for the community…going through something so devastating is so heart breaking but having support from you guys probably means the world…thank you for what you do.

[@cowgirlval5216]

Thank you Horse Plus and Team for stepping up and showing the world what community love is all about. Blessings to all and prayers for all that were affected.

[@lionairvine870]

I love how Dr Lydia goes and does the mundane things like going and catching horses. As well as being a brilliant. Vet..❤️

[@wolfmare50]

Bless you Nancy. You hold so much courage inside. Glad your mare and foal are ok.

[@karenmiller129]

The big lick is shocking and cruel and the sooner it stops for good the better! Well done to HPHS for doing everything they can to end this cruel industry. Also kudos to them for helping all these horses after the tornado went thru. You guys are truly angels on earth 😇🙏💖✨️

[@DebbieGeurts]

I AGREE

[@susankoehler2883]

Heartfelt prayers for all those devastated by the tornado damage.

Feel your pain about tornado season...I live in Xenia, Ohio. We're known for our F5s. Heart goes out to all of those affected.

The mutual admiration of Drs Lydia & Gina is so awesome. They are both such talented, thoughtful professionals.

[@mariareay3831]

I agree completely!! ❤ ❤

[@GamblingGal]

Well, well... these two appeared happy to get out and move about 💕🐎💕🐎

[@lindag4484]

There are some really great people out there. It is wonderful that those who can, generously donate so that HPHS can become even more effective in their efforts to save/help at risk horses + plus other domesticated animals. Great people doing great things! I love what the barn manager said about the Tennessee Big Lick horses being beautiful the way they are naturally, without the cruelty of soring (use of caustic chemicals) and stacks. In other words, don't change the horses for show competition, change the judging criteria and let the spectators enjoy the spectacular, natural beauty of those gorgeous animals.

[@hummingbird275]

AMEN. ABSOLUTELY‼️

[@phoenyxrising8913]

All of you donors are AWESOME!!!!! Even just the little donations count huge when all of us do it.

[@rosemarygraham2815]

So true!! It all adds up so quickly to become enough to save another horse!!!❤❤❤

[@kelseyhottle1526]

How amazing that lady is to make such a huge donation! 💕 For as crappy as the world can seem now a days, it's always reassuring to know there are still so many great people with huge hearts out there as well!

[@karenneill9109]

Philanthropy used to be expected of wealthy people. If you had money and didn’t donate to good causes, you were looked down upon. That’s really changed a LOT in the last 50 years. It’s nice to see that some wealthy folks still donate out of their hearts!

[@rosemarygraham2815]

So glad she chose HP as well. They need so much equipment and medical support as well as improving their facilities not to mention desperately needing ongoing funding for buying horses constantly!!!❤❤❤

[@claudiadickerman4218]

Yes I agree, that following Horse Plus is a Positive in an otherwise Negative world at this time, it always makes my heart "sing" seeing all what you do. God bless

[@joanneburns2974]

I just found this channel on YT and I am in awe of the work that you all do. Helping the Hopi/Navajo people, rescuing these creatures is truly a Divine Intervention. Dr Lydia, Corey, Tawnee James just to name a few are so selfless. I don’t have much $ but will definitely be contributing to the organization.

[@helenabiesma5560]

dreadful moments happen and then we all come together and share this friendship the will to help each will never go away - and show the different side that you all care

[@LiveGrowRescue]

Dr Lydia is absolutely amazing. She explains things in such great detail. You tell see how much she loves her job and how smart she is.

[@SeekerKC]

My mother, who lives in Fairfield Glade, called me from inside of her closet that night! After pulling up the radar, it was clear that you all were under threat of getting hit, too. Very sad to see those stables. I hope that the horse with the injured leg made it thru alright.

[@andreacope7534]

So glad for the new ultrasound! Helping out when your community needs it is part of the PLUS in Horse Plus Humane Society. I wouldn't have expected anything less.

[@jessicasnaplesfl7474]

So sorry for the tornado damage. I bet at least half your viewers would come and volunteer to help you rebuild if we could. All will be better in time. Hang in there!

[@nuggetpai]

Thank you to the wonderful woman and her generous donation. It is so appreciated. Because of you twenty horses can be saved from slaughter and many more can be properly diagnosed through the ultrasound machine.

[@imkekraatz3677]

It's so great to see, that your hard work pays of, for example with jay who was in such pain with both his eyes and the abcess. Really amazing!💪 Greetings from Germany ☀️

[@intentonmiracles]

if you would keep Ryan Hall Ya'll on KZbin during a tornado outbreak he keeps you aware of where the tornados are and the conditions. Play by play sometimes he is on for 12 hours covering the situation. Even emergency people depend on him and his team too. You guys are awesome!!!!

[@maddiewoo7833]

Agreed Ryan hall is the best

Ryan is on the spot as the storm is happening.

[@JustJoyHowdy]

I'm so thrilled abt the donations for the small animal clinic and the vets needs!! For the young lady, Haley, coming to work with the Fantastic Duo. I sat here and cried. That is such a blessing!!

[@30dayride67]

The tornado aftermath brought me to tears. We've had our fair share of them in Iowa too. It always amazes me how many miracles I've seen with horses trapped in barns that were totally destroyed. We've dug horses out from under the rubble expecting serious injuries where there were nothing more than a few scrapes, bumps and bruises. The worst was following an EF 5 huge wedge tornado that wiped out a small town and a stable along with several other farms. The animal casualties were horrific and scarred me for life. People immediately showed up from surrounding communities including vets to try to save any animals that they could, but there weren't many that could be saved. That tornado left a path of total destruction over a half mile wide. A family lost their stable, horses, cattle barn, cows and their house, but survived. There was a basement where the house was removed and the contents were all sucked out except for the corner where the family was sheltering. God gives us little miracles every day, but some days he really makes it obvious.

[@darlenestassen977]

Welcome to Shandra❤ Y'all rock!!!

[@fionahill522]

Hope they get all their barns and stables very soon. Made me tear up seeing those 2 horses trapped. And yet nothing wrong with them apart from scratches. God did certainly save those 2 can't imagine how scary that could be for you all.

[@renewyourmind1815]

The place where I board both my horses was hit by a tornado near Elkhorn, NE. The fence was torn down, horses were out, shop destroyed, and trailers flipped all around the property. One horse was found in the pasture with a broken leg - she was older but so sad. Both of mine are okay. My mare had a 3" cut on her hip, but its totally healed now. I will never forget that dreadful feeling driving over to see them. I'm so thankful horse plus went to help them! 🙏

It will no longer be available to abuse the horses!!!! :)

To feel and see the support after such a devastating situation must be a tremendous relief! A big thank you to everyone at Horse Plus for all the amazing work you do! And the mare with the foal coming out of the damaged barn unharmed really is a miracle.
