On behalf of my whole family thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to come in and adopt Ruger. He is a truely a blessing and the best son a mom could have. There’s nothing better than adopting from Horse plus Humane Society. They are amazing people on and off camera and genuinely care so much for the horses they have.

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Congratulations! He seems so lovely.

[@PurdueAlum01]

Wonderful feedback! Hope he is really working out for you, congrats on the adoption.

[@chickpea3092]

You guys are sooo sweet!!

[@charlotterockel-kennedy8913]

Bless you for adopting Ruger. Wishing you all the best and a long and happy life together

He was the sweetest boy so Im so glad he ended up whit you guys. Congratulations to a wonderful horse.

[@Lynne2106]

Kimberly is a good adoption specialist because she doesn’t sell. She just states what she knows and she is honest about what she doesn’t know. I bet this results in fewer failed adoptions.

[@kimlass20]

Thank you for your kind words!

I do dalmatian rescue and once I find an A+ prospective adopter I tell the good the bad and the ugly. I would rather a prospective adopter get the right match versus the dog coming back to our rescue.

[@BoninBrighton]

A very good observation

Wonderful how the farrier explained and showed the problems with the little donkeys foot. More of this man please.

He is a diamond for the HPHS.

Yes please!

I wonder if the horse was being fed hay while the ferrier was trimming if it would distract the horse from wanting to kick the farrier.

Ruger trying to come into the office to see his new mommy was just adorable

[@juliaelrod2154]

I know, right. Like, "you're not leaving me, are you?"

All the cookies they hand over in there, I bet it very much smells like horse treats in that office...

[@lifeofjoy9404]

Ruger Found Love!! Halleluja!! SO glad!! I was afraid the new owner was going to fall for the other horse simply based on looks (she is lovely!), but little Ruger clinched the deal by being a sweet little chap and kissing the baby. Awwww! His new owners are both gentle, friendly, kind women, and they will raise that Darling little girl to be just the same way. She & Ruger will become fast friends, for sure! How seeet that Ruger will get to greet the school bus with another pasture pet horse friend of his very own.

I actually married one that did some horses at the barn I worked for but divorced after 22 yrs. The best and most expensive gift he ever gave me was my son. He is 27 now and I'm still paying for him.🥴

Don't know why I'm so amused to see Kori using the old stockman's horse herding technique of waving your hat. Reminded me of my dad.

[@lucyabbott4480]

Wonderful video again, Ruger looks like he got a wonderful home. Farriers comment "Ponies either have a history of founder or a future of founder" was so appropriate.

Ruger has found a beautiful new home. I'm overjoyed for him.❤️

[@everlastingscribe]

Kory working with the horses is all ways a treat, and I know the point is to help horses find a home, that's the end goal but it's also nice to see the honesty with Kory pointing out that some horses at horse plus do look like they were assembled by committee. And that those too, are sweet on the ground and have a heart of gold.

[@mpgfoo]

Love the farrier!

[@pattiroberts1436]

"STOP! In the name of love......before you break my heart!" I got your backup Angela!! I was already singing it when you jumped in. We sound pretty good! Trust me. Got the giggles pretty bad and had to stop! HAHAHAH! \

[@margaretsullivan5030]

I just started watching your channel. Thank you for all you do. Both my horses were rescues. Not from an auction but from terrible owners. My first rescue was a 5 gated Saddlebred. He was older and out of control. For some reason he liked me and I was able to ride him. Not many were able to ride him. Now I’m talking 1971. I paid a whopping $200 for him. I was in 8th grade and didn’t know anything about owning a horse. I had that horse for 16 years when he passed away. Had him more than half my life at that time. He took me to shows and won many of them. My second Saddlebred was a 2 year old. Got him in 1994. He was about 75# underweight. Had him 23 years. He was a great pleasure/trail horse but showed very well also. Sorry to go on. Just wanted to thank you again for all you do. These animals that are adopted seem to appreciate it so much.

[@samyoung3592]

that farrier has a wonderful voice

[@The-ii5mj]

I love 💞that your Farrier gets the assignment❣️. A good farrier is worth their weight in gold but to have 1 who doesn't care that they may move or not p/u their feet is WONDERFUL ‼️✌️

Another awesome video! When it was over I was like "What? It's over already?" I thought y'all just did a short one this week but when I looked it was 37 minutes. I just got absorbed and didn't realize that time was passing. Love yall and thank you for sharing the journey with us!

[@bdmbpm1467]

Me too. Moving on to the next one.

[@ImNotInLoveItsJustAGameWeDo]

Awh, I would not win any confirmation classes either. 🥺❤️ I really wish I was closer. Unfortunately I am across the border. I would adopt from your program in a heartbeat. Until I am able to adopt, my donations will have to do for now. ❤️

[@CC-xk6cp]

A really good day for sure! A blessing to have that kind along the way. Encouragement and hope to all. Heartfelt thx as always to you all for your patience and TLC.

[@sandie9382]

Wish I could have a horse again I'd adopt that little horse with the funky conformation we'd go good not all of us would win conformation classes either

You have the kindest and (you gotta agree) the sweetest and cutest farrier. What a good episode. Can’t wait to see the baby Colt when it comes. Do horses need vitamins when they’re expecting? Sending hugs and pats to the little donkeys, they are so very cute.

[@Selaithify]

For the pregnant mare there is a product you can use to bridge the big crack in her hoof. I am not a horse person and can't recall what it is but I have seen a farrier on KZbin use it on a horse with a bad crack to support the hoof wall while it grows out and doesn't let the horse pull the crack apart while walking. I can absolutely look it up if you would like.

You are all heroes. And oh my is your farrier a handsome dude. You have so many good looking young people that I think a firefighter style calendar - in a humorously ""steamy"" parody style could generate some funds (and a lot of publicity for your cause,too !) among horsegirlies (and horse boys, and horsefolks) ... And for female beauty admirers - doctor Lydia could have had been a supermodel ( but aren't we all glad she's a vet instead!)... Soo.. let's add some glamour vet shots (these lead vests are pretty hot 😂 - Imagine a lady Godiva style, Vermeer lightning, romantic style painting style photo with a lead vest instead of hair..). The endless possibilities - we'd hang that in our stables for sure ^^

@Caitlyn Bennett - I'm so tlad you adopted Ruger :D Enjoy the beautiful fellow and I for one, all the way over in Australia would love it if you could share updates with Tawnee and crew so they can be shared with us! :D LOL Sprung Angela! Singing on camera... what they forget is that you won't forget, and WILL reciprocate at some stage! lol The donkeys are absolutely gorgeous - those poor hooves though :( Humans are awful who let them get to that state arent they? Elijah, you are a gem and I am sure you will be able to guide these horses and donkeys back to healthy feet with your knowledge. Big hello to all the crew and hope you are having a good time. Kimberley - I do the same too - with my donkey I used to play with his gorgeous soft lips, chin and nostril, he loved his ears being stroked inside ane out and would go to sleep to it.

When you all spoke of Founders(?) I am a horse lover, but i have NO CLUE what Founders is, and it felt like a missed opportunity to educate people like me, who don't know any horse terminology. I know it could get repetetive, but now I need to look up founders in horses so I can understand what they were talking about is all. I do love you all. But an educated horse admirer or a novice owner needs to know eo much, stuff like this. Its why I dont have any horses. I have no clue on how to gove one the best life ever, like thise onee the older lady turned in great shape, great terth condition, best Ive seen, in their 30s ! That is what you all should be constantly teaching, your horse care. To nurse these precious beings back to life is miraculous and you are all my heroes.🧡🙏

[@sammylawrence227]

Founder is such a common and well known thing among anyone who's been around horses. They don't feel the need to explain every little thing because I feel like most of the viewers would know what founder is. The videos are already over a half hour long. Learning some basic information on your own (especially since you've self labeled yourself a horse lover) shouldn't be a huge burden.

[@GotAnUmbrella]

@@sammylawrence227 I've onyl been around horses s little when I was little and my sister took lessons and I still know what founder is.

[@nogames8982]

Thank you for saying this. I totally agree. yes, the horses are adorable and they do cute things but acting like a teenager and squealing is really annoying. The horses don't like it either. Be professional for god sake.

[@Galemor1]

I really don't want to be like this, but Kory is getting to heavy to sit on the horses he works with. He used to be just tall, and I hoped he would take as good care of himself as they do the horses, but it doesn't seem like he has. It's so sad to see. And it's really restricting him, in what he will be able to do going forward.

[@bethkehoe4918]

if you are the adoption specialist, shouldn't you know everything about the horse you are showing. you should be enthusiastic about that horse and show some feelings

[@GotAnUmbrella]

I'll be honest a lot of adoption specialists absolutely don't know everything about all their animals. Also depending how quickly someone is interested they might not even have had time to get to know them. If, for example, a horse goes straight from quarantine to adoption that's not very long to get to know them. I have adopted a dog that lived in a Foster's house and they still didn't know everything about him. In an ideal world they would, but it's often not the case sadly.

[@PurdueAlum01]

Sometimes they would carry a tablet to look up some details from their system during adoptions but really not recently. They process so many it's understandably hard to remember every detail without a system or even a printout. They are allowed to look it up really we don't expect perfect memories of evenly detail, if they are trying to do that for the viewer's sake. I know Jason expanded the wifi...wonder if they have issue with connection with all the new construction or weather changes...

[@bethkehoe4918]

@@GotAnUmbrella with all the help they have and knowing someone is coming to look at the horses, you could get a print out, up to date info on that horse. I'm very happy there is "horse plus" but I just think in some places they need to work on professionally. it's great that horse was adopted

[@nogames8982]

You can't remember everything about every horse so print out information and have a cheat sheet. You should be able to answer the peoples questions.

[@darcyzulick2118]

Also for kickers you could take a keg shoe and twist the ends in so they just fit over the cannon bone and sits on top of the horses foot it prevents him from kicking also better than kicking chains.
