I rescued an auction HORSE ~

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

I am not allowed to film at the auction but if you want to see what it is like here is a very good documentary on it that was done a few years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j367YmSCgs2Kprssi=ylozUHkiq268uU_F Here is the re-feeding program from UC Davis ceh.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk4536/files/local_resources/pdfs/pubs-July2012-bkm-sec.pdf

@TheCleverCowgirl I can't watch it , loose horse pens 😢 are usually what the kil buyer ends up with. It's heart breaking 💔 😢 😪 I really rather watch equestrian channels that save the horses. Like you and big john and friends 🧡 IT really makes me cry to watch Auctions

[@blondegirlsezthis8798]

I would call her Mayflower, since it is Thanksgiving and she is definitely making a pilgrimage! And you can tell she is truly giving thanks for the fate that led her to such a loving place and in your empathic hands. The derivation of the name "Mayflower" was the name the English gave to what we now call Lily of the Valley which is a pale white flower like the color of the horse. If the horse was male I'd have said "Alden" after John Alden, the legendary Pilgrim whose love PRISCILLA (or "Pris"!) would have been just too perfect...But Mayflower, or "May" would be a relevant to the day and the eldest matriarch of the herd. No matter what you end up naming her, i raise a toast to you and this charmed mare! May she live long and famous life beloved by the boys in the barn and us avid fans of your equine excellence! And thank YOU for all you do for these wayward and often last-chance souls. Note: Looks like i'm "gobbling" up votes for the name! (i'll see myself out LOL)

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

Such a sweet horse, I'm glad she was tried and I feel like there's a good chance she can be saved as long as no huge extra problems are uncovered. Our rescue got a 28 year old gelded thoroughbred that was in worse emaciated condition than this one plus he had some wobbler syndrome. The vet said she was skeptical it was worth trying to save him but he made it all the way back to decent health for his age and the wobbler was mild enough not to be a big problem for a pasture pet. He was a good boy too, kind of a prankster but not mean or anything. He tried to act all aloof but he loved neck scritches and was very smart and a faster learner.

I bought a horse a few years back and ended up having to put him down within six months of buying him. A lot had gone on with the people who had sold him to the lady I bought him from: they took advantage of her not knowing anything about horses and sold him as fifteen years younger and completely healthy, which he wasn't. My plan had been to get him back in good health and sell him back to her as a kids horse, which he would have been great at, and I would have given her all the instructions on keeping him healthy and happy once he was better. People around me were mad at me for buying him, but I didn't care. He needed me. Sometimes, we do everything we can, but all we are meant to be is a soft place to land. I'm so glad there are people out there who can be that place for such gentle souls like this

So many mass breeders of horses do the bare minimum. If she really is 26 years old, it would be a small miracle if she had already had a foal this year or was in foal now.

@@MsSonali1980 Exactly…and the freaking horse racing biz is equally as evil. If they make no money on the track - it’s on a truck to Mexico for them. My friend rescues these off track TB’s and trains them at her facility. She buys from owners at Tampa Bay Downs. She then works with them from anywhere from six to twelve months and sells them typically to those looking for a nice hunt seat or jumping prospect. Many of the OTTBs are calm (which is why they never won races) wind up becoming trail horses. Horses don’t stand much of a chance here when they are “too old” to be useful or too expensive…off to auction they go…disgusting

[@MsSonali1980]

@@lizzieb6311 In Germany it's different, here are no auctions. But you can sell the horse for the kg price to a horse slaughter (depending on what meds are documented for vaccination in their papers) and if they think the horse is still fit enough to get sold on they have young people (mostly girls/women) who will invest their time in training them while they get fed back to life. The others get slaughtered (probably also after getting fed to gain weight). If you want to get rid of your (ill) horse, you either sell it (for cheap) to someone (privately or to a trader), or you give it away for free to someone who wants the horse, or you bring it to the slaughter. If it is already on the edge of dying and suffering the vet will tell you and put them down. I think in the US, where horses are still used to work, the auctions are more "practical" to buy and sell than our concept here, where you visit the horse seller usually.

[@lisakeefe8273]

I’m so glad that you rescued her. She seems to be very sweet and I’m sure very thankful to now have a home. It’s going to be great watching her evolve.

[@lesliegraber9813]

Whatever time she has left, thank goodness it is with you. She will receive all the love and care she needs to make the rest of her life so much better.

It is your money, it is your channel please stay true to your principles! I have been watching the Horse Plus Humane Society channel where they buy even the old and catastrophically injured horses just to be able to give them a dignified end to their lives. As difficult as it is to watch, it is a beautiful act of human compassion. Thank you for saving this girl from slaughter! I’m so glad that you were there for her & that you have a spot for her in your little herd!! ❤

Her whole expression changed as she followed you back at home. Sweet old lady 💗

[@ainilome]

What an absolute sweetheart. The way she followed you around 😢

[@candicerunyon2762]

The fact that she kept following you around at the loose pens says a great deal. She knew she was in a desperate situation and she sensed/knew you were very kind and loving. If she is in foal, she was pleading for both of thier lives. And your compassion won out. I believe that she will survive and recover. She has such a gentle and calm demeanor. And she is in the best hands possible. God Bless you!

[@hbourdon3040]

My thoughts exactly.. she sensed CC's kindness and gentleness and followed her around for CC to notice her and save her and maybe her foal to if she is in foal.... So beautiful they met and CC has been able to save her ♥

[@stonesbonesangroans]

Her body language throughout this entire video radiates stunned surprise tempered by a sweet, docile, and abidingly companionable nature. Yet, despite that passive nature and her poor condition, she gives every indication that she's a survivor. I bet she makes it, and that she gets more spirited once it sinks in that this is her forever home. I'd like to submit the name, "Luna" for her if you think it fits. Thank you for being the one to intercept her at the sale. You are the right person at the right place and time, and she really needs and deserves the better future you will give her moving forward.

[@falcolf]

Luna is so cute and I feel like since the moon is so associated with femininity and motherhood I think it definitely suits this sweet little lady!!!❤
