May Buyout Intake (Almost Live)

All of those horses came off that trailer looking too exhausted to be scared. Dehydrated. Which was bad enough. And then I saw the donkey. That shot is going to be coming back in fundraising videos.

[@jeannettehansen6203]

The stallions are absolutely beautiful and it's amazing how gentle they were being with each other. A perfect example of why people shouldn't make a fuss just when the animals being loud and not doing anything wrong. Maybe a stallion is not perfect for every level of Horsemanship however people get lazy with a little extra training stallions can be some of the most well-behaved well natured rewarding horses you will ever own

[@alycewich4472]

It takes a lot more work and facilities to care for a stallion properly than it does a gelding. Yes, we need stallions to perpetuate the different breeds, but any that are not registered or high quality need to be gelded. That way they're not looking for mares and can be kept with all the rest of the horses. I've known of stallions that have been kept away from any other horses unless they are going to breed them during the breeding season. They live alone which is not a great life for a herd animal. For a riding animal, I prefer a gelding as there are no hormones so I don't have to deal with a sometimes moody mare or a stallion who is looking for a mare to breed. Plus, they are ready any time you want to ride or just hang out.

[@sandyloyst1811]

Huge shout out to your song writer. I got goose-bumps and cried every time. This makes him incredible. Love and Peace.

[@GamblingGal]

When altering a stallion: "Their thought process changes from ASS to GRASS" I've seen almost immediate change. But, yes, I've seen (so called) "well trained stallions" seriously hurt it's owner/handler. Don't believe the hype! Stallions can be dangerous to people, other horses!!

You guys fought hard and stood your ground for what you and many others believe in..Saving horses from the slaughter pipeline ❤ So glad that many are coming to your facility, in the buyout program and skipping the auction. Although there were those foals that had auction numbers on them😮but no matter what you have them now. Plus kudos to you Jason for protecting the seller’s identity 🙏So I hope the buyout continues.. This saves time for your team travelling, less stress on the horse and more time for evaluating the horses.

[@cheryl8913]

Glad you are getting so many horses in the by out and some great horses.

[@barbrice721]

Thank You. Those babies are precious. And those two stallions will calm down immensely when gelded. They were just being boys but not viciously.

[@alycewich4472]

That doesn't mean that they wouldn't act even worse if there were mares close to them. Since it takes a while for the testosterone to completely leave their bodies, the calming down period isn't immediate. Another thing is that there is still sperm left for a little while also so if one of the newly gelded stallions gets with a receptive mare, there could be a surprise baby 11 months later. Of course, HPHS knows that but maybe not all their viewers.

My heart broke for the horses and poor donkey who were so so critical. The poor donkey, I just cried, his/her poor leg. I’m so glad that the poor thing came directly to you, so he/she didn’t have to go through a horrendous auction and bought by a kill-buyer. What pain it must be in, I can’t imagine it being hauled across America in that poor state. What a heartbreaking thought. I thank god for you all. I thank god he/she has somewhere like your hands for a soft landing. These critical, beautiful animals needed you so desperately and I’m so grateful you were there for them, to give them the peace their owners should have given them.

[@BanglesAU]

Its so sad to see the state some of these horses come in, heartbreaking that sometimes the only thing that can be done is the last act of kindness. You are all amazing for the work that you do, and its great to see the ones that could be saved rehabilitated and finding homes. With the horses that have brands or markings that identify them, do the original breeders or owners ever contact you guys about the horses? Like to let you know about them, or maybe even give them a home themselves? I mean once you sell a horse there is no real way to know what will happen to it during its life. I think most of these horses know you are there to help them.

Don't think horse are over populated at all; if so, why the need and actions to hunt down free-roaming "wild" horses? To tame them? Why? To get the horses off of someone's land, perhaps a billionaires land who wants that land for farming, ie, growing and selling rice to China! Horses are not the issue, really, but we have made them an issue due to our behavior/temper tantrums about so much... Thank God for HorsePlus and all animal rescues...

[@dreamcatcher3861]

I’m amazed that Tawnee and Jason won’t deal with Julie? Why is this? It must be a mistake. Fletcher Farms is also known as, The big hoof foundation and is incredible. The only issue I could see is that Julie buys from kill-pens/feed lots, which puts money straight back into the kill-buyers pockets. Kill-buyers go to auctions, buy the Belgian horses cheep, then sell them for double what they paid. When you buy horses from these people, they then use that money to go outbid rescues at auction. When the kill-pens say the horses are going to ship, they’re not, they’ve often been kept for some time, fed so they look healthier, then they’re going to ship to the next auction in the next state, to be sold for a profit. Could Tawnee comment if this is true about not working with Julie and why, if it is true? I’m in no way criticising Julie or Tawnee, I’m just trying to understand.

[@hoosierstate5580]

I love the auction rescues and the buyout days...wish it was more in depth and we got a chance to see each and every horse as it's evaluated! Love what you all do! Thank you!😊

More to come!

I may be in the minority but I find the music highly distracting. I love this organization and contribute monthly. The vets are great and obviously care very much about the horses. I also look forward to these buyout videos but please, less music.

Or turn down to make it background music, so we can hear the vets talking.

Understandable we will do out best to make better content in the future.

I said the same thing and my comment seems to have been deleted… there’s a time and place, for me it’s not due out these videos

[@fairygodmomma2313]

​@@hphsI liked it alot, but yes do what feels right.

[@fairygodmomma2313]

​@@AreYouKittenMeRtNownot me that deleted this time, and the comment I deleted in the chat during the after tornado video was because, think of it, you just survived and were able to help others in need, you're in awe & someone says to leave God out of it? God is Love, right? Well... But yes wasn't me that deleted your comment.🕊️
