Horse Shelter Heroes S5E31 - Many Happy Tales

I mean, I know saying this doesn't really help much, but even though you may have to put him down, he had somebody who cared for him and cried for him. You all did everything you could do in the end. ❤

Just you commenting means a lot to HPHS ❤

Watching Dr Lydia cry as she talks about that sweet old boy and passes him cookie after cookie 😭 My heart breaks with you guys.

Hugs Jenna ❤️

[@jocelynbryan2215]

It’s so hard seeing Dr Lydia cry 😢 I can’t imagine the heartbreak letting some of these horses go for their best interest after doing all you can do 💔 thank you for all the care you provide to these sweet babies 🐴💜

[@carolinechew2432]

I loved that little girl!!! 😊 I have full confidence that Tipsy is going to have a fantastic life from today forward!!!

That age is so wonderful for a girl that loves horses. Tipsy is going to be beloved, they make a wonderful pair.

My heart hurts for the horses and a HUGE thank you to Drs Gina and Lidia for caring for these magnificent animals!!

I am so sorry, Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina, I know yall did your best and it's worse after you've tried everything. Thank you for all your care and skill and thank you for doing the right thing by the horses.

[@ann66pearson4]

Soooo sorry about Chip. I'm so glad he's there where he'll be given the last act of kindness. The thought of any animal having to live in pain every day and will never get better makes me beyond sad. Thank you.

[@heidinewcombe696]

Madelyn is so cute. I hope she and Dixie/Typsy become the very best of friends!

[@cynthiacarter514]

I am sorry deciding and carrying out the right decision for Chip was emotionally painful for you.

[@andreaciceri794]

So happy Galileo and Merci went to such great homes along with all the horses and kitten. Watching Dr. Lydia moved to tears was heartbreaking. The vets become so attached to the horses they've tried desperately to save. Hard to say goodbye.

[@cgateley]

Dr. Lydia, you are such a kindhearted person and Horse plus is blessed to have you on staff! I wish every vet had your true deep love for what they do. I foster medical dogs and I've seen one to many vets seem to just not be present in a conversation or an animal's full need. So, thank you for loving all these horses etc and showing true emotion.

[@jcmac47]

Yay! Keith! We can never have too much Keith! 💗

[@marilynbridges8697]

I love how hard Keith works, no matter what the task.

“THANKS FOR THE HORSE!!!”’-- “No Problem!” I smiled and felt something there. I can hardly explain.

I just agree whit you. To see those waving arms from the car and to hear "thanks for the horse" it made mee feel som warm in my heart.

Very nice episode this week---thank you for taking all of us on some of your rounds. Sending love to the veterinary team that works so hard on behalf of every animal there. God Bless.

[@rhfarmstables]

Those minis were ADORABLE! We always get people asking if we have any to adopt and we hardly ever do😔

[@susanmatthews5901]

Hi RH! I love what you do with your seniors!! You have the rare combination of rescue and sanctuary. Many thanks for allowing those horses that need daily medical care to live out their lives being cared for and loved!

[@schluterkristina7165]

Can't you get the Minis from an other organization, so that you can offer them for Adoption? In some areas they have Minis and everyone just want the big horses

[@ninakaiser2930]

So many happy tails indeed! I am so happy for all the adoptions. They always are so touching to watch after all these horses and animals have been through! To see Dr. Lydia cry - you know she really put it all into rescuing this animal and not being able to in the end. 😢 It was so nice to see you Marli, wishing you all the best for school!

What a wonderful episode. So many adoptions ❤👏🎉. I'm very sorry to hear of the two horse's that had to be euthanized 😢 it's never easy. Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina try their hardest to give them the best care possible.

Hello from London ,UK, My heart breaks watching the suffering these wonderful animals go through. Thank goodness for people like you who can some of them ❤❤❤

[@vintagelady1]

Oh Dr. Lydia, I am so sorry for you---I know you try not to get invested in a single horse, but sometimes one comes along. Remember that you released him from a life of pain & discomfort & gave him love & treats at the end. The fact that someone cared about him at the end is important, & you did that for him. Have a good cry, rhen put your angels wings back on so you and Dr.Gina & the team can lead more horses to their next thing, whether it be adoption or release.

[@rondalooney7244]

I'm so sorry for Chip. 😢 Y'all did everything you could do. He didn't get his 2nd chance early enough. Y'all have given him such kindness and love since he got there. Thank and God bless you for all that Y'all do and have always done for these beautiful babies. ❤

[@HeleneBurger-o2n]

So sorry Chip was not doing well. My heart goes out to Dr Lydia, she loved Chip. Was heartbreaking to see Dr Lydia crying. RIP Chip, you wil be missed. I loved Glimmer, so sad to see him go as well 😥 But I'm happy for all the adoptions into wonderful homes! Thank you HPHS and your amazing vets fir what you do, bless you all 🙏❤❤

[@marciebooth3270]

Just had an idea. Maybe you could give every adopter 1 or 2 bumper stickers to put on their vehicle and trailer. That would help spread your organization's name. Hope this is helpful! ❤❤

[@alycewich4472]

LOVE that idea!

[@kellypetersen8204]

Love the Adoptions! That is what it is all about. The ultimate - getting those that are well enough to be adopted or the compassionate last act. Thank you for all you do and to all the wonderful adopters and donaters! Oh how lives are changed for the better because of you!

[@sandyverwys770]

It never gets old! Every time I see adopters in the office signing the paperwork and moving a horse's picture to the other wall, I get goose bumps! Thank you for ALL that you do at HPHS!! I thought it was funny that when the cookies package was being opened by Angela, suddenly the room filled with people!! Word got out FAST that there were treats! Lol

[@phoenyxrising8913]

The heart breaking truth is that we must eventually say good bye, no matter how hard we try to prolong it, or avoid it... time eventually ends for us all. It is the greatest blessing to give the last act of kindness, to one who needs it, providing peace and honor to the end...

[@brendabirkenbach8533]

To the wonderful vets and all of the hphs team. Even when it doesn't end the way we all hoped for. This i know 100% that these horses and the dogs and cats plus all the rest. They have received more love and care from you in the short time they are with you then they have ever received in their whole lifes from anyone else. There have been a few that their owners loved them enough to bring them to you and they are very special owners. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🐎🙏🏼

Please know in your heart that you did everything you could do for him, his body was just too far gone at this point 😢. I know how bad it hurts, but I know in my heart that ya'll are making the right decision for him. At least he knew love and kindness at his end. You treat them all as if they were your personal pets. Love and God Bless you all at HPHS 💜 ✝️ Grandma Jennifer in AZ.

I love the fact that both your doctors collaborate as I am huge on validation before procedure with anything of important. This leaves next to nothing being overlooked for a "surprise" later!

[@claudialunden3691]

I find it somehow comforting to see the emotion over having to go with the last act of kindness for your beloved. The trailer loads of unspeakable pain that you deal with frequently have me in tears. I understand that you all Must deal with it and get through it. That you are doing heartfelt service. But watching your ability to get through it all adds to the trauma because I’m sure you are all suffering shock and horror too. Like field doctors in war. Bless you all for the outstanding work you do in honor of the right thing.

I cried all the way through this. Every horse adopted & Cotton the kitten brought such joyful tears. I cried when l saw Chip... but they were the saddest tears. I absolutely loved watching you open all your surprize packages. I wish l could send John some of my stuffed chickens! But l also wish l could come help muck out stalls but l am VERY far away (Ottawa) with no access to a car.😕 Sapphire please don't have any more accidents, and heal quickly sweetheart!🤗♥️ Chip, you suited your name so well, butterscotch chip is my favourite flavour too! I am so so very sorry that you are not still here but l know you are now pain-free and running forever free under The Rainbow. And that if even for only a short time in your life you knew you were loved, adored and cherished as every Horse should be. Good😢bye big beautiful sweet cookie monster.

So very difficult to give the last act of kindness no matter what the situation. Each horse does get to experience a bit of a good life with gentle and expert care before that decision has to be made. Some decisions come quicker but still not an easy thing to do. I would worry if I did not recognize just how these decisions impact everyone involved at Horse Plus. Tears here, too.
