Neglected ponies given a lifeline

[@PeppyPower]

We are a private farm here in Germany, I am a vet myself, and we are doing exactly the SAME HERE - saving horses, making them look like a "real, good and fed animal again" and - finally - placing them with new, formerly tested and certified owners. THIS vid reminds me of one case we had around Christmas 2011....just in the next village, neighbours found a barn full of Shetland ponies, all so very, very thin and all of them with bacterial scours. The barn itself was horror, no hay, no straw -nothing but a floor full of scours to wade through. It was horrible...thank you for doing the same work in the UK, it is SO indispensable! I'd take one of your Highland-like Ponies myself, but it's sad this is not possible because they have to stay on the island. Anyway, keep on doing this great work - same as we do!

Why the hell would someone mistreat such beautiful creatures

[@user-dw9xy2zo3f]

Ive fallen in love with that black gelding 😻

[@sailhobiecat]

I watch these videos again and again because I get such a kick out of seeing what the horses look like after they have been cared for by World Horse Welfare. It makes me feel all warm inside to see the INCREDIBLE work these people do. The videos also inspire me to one day volunteer or work with rescue animals. Thank you for your heart-warming and inspirational videos and for the futures you give this wonderful animals

[@aranara_song]

All of the horses are extremely beautiful!

[@TheR3nX]

OMG BLACK BEAUTY GINGER AND MERRYLEGS

[@kaliandrews3866]

That's what I thought toooo

[@savannahequestrian1468]

+PuzzleTheCob .TheGypsyCob omg hahaha

[@that_beautiful_arabian_mar9531]

when they showed us the horses after they were rescued, I didn't even notice it was them. they look completely different. I'm so happy that they survived and didn't just die alone.

[@sharonmurphy7191]

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and compassion to these horses. May Our Source bless all you beings. Sharon Murphy ( Ireland)

[@lauraslocumb257]

Love the gray pony. Reminds me of Merrylegs in Black Beauty!

[@MaryRodriguez-gi6zl]

The horses are so beautiful. God bless those who love animals enough to dedicate their time to saving them.

[@cheekylibs]

Wow, when fully recovered they were so beautiful! it's such a shame that some people can't keep horses responsibly. it's horrible that the little grey had to go but thank god the others made a full recovery! I'm hoping to get a horse within the next year & i really want to find out about investing in a rescue pony/horse so they can spend the rest of their life in a save & loving environment, getting all the care they deserve! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[@lpswa]

If the owner do not want the horses why not sell them to a good home before they can get this sick😠

[@patriciakunz1198]

Beautiful horses. So glad they were found and restored to their natural selves. So sad about the wee grey pony. Thank you for putting a blanket on her to kept her warm as she passed on.

[@redneckgamerhl3586]

You people are my heroes! It's so great there are people like u that do this! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@meriatonB]

I have such a smile on my face now. They are so beautiful. Thank you for caring and rehabilitating these gentle, wonderful creatures.

[@NadiaB1234123]

what is going on? how can some people be so cold-hearted? that was terrible. I am SO, SO glad that World Horse Welfare helped those poor ponies and horses.

[@EquineAnoesisCinematography]

Gosh , that's amazing. The way you bring them back up to normal or better than that is just super. I would love to be able to work with horses that way , making their lives better. GREAT WORK !

[@haileymiller7796]

just a story: so the other day I was driving past a paddock and you could see a giant herd of beautiful well fed ponies, they weren't clean but that was expected when they are turned out in the paddock they looked like the most happiest ponies. And then this guy comes out on a quad with big bales of hay to give to them he separates the bale for them and they all ate like a family there was no arguing or anything among them I noticed they would all rotate from bale to bale evenly. It was a fun sight!

[@jhankri]

It hard to believe someone could keep these lovely animals in such a state. Thank God for organizations like World Horse Welfare.

[@adelezierler1547]

You are incredible people and so caring. I am so touched and grateful to see their life changed because of your organization. Thank you!

[@gabriels4151]

Im in love with the black gelding, he's absolutely beautiful

[@karlaclaywalker7664]

Aww, poor little foal! Just imagine living, not even living your whole life, in and neglected home with nothing and sick to death!

[@meganwise9687]

Why would someone neglect and abandon these beautiful horses and pony there all so beautiful and there’s such beautiful creatures

[@kasiat4754]

all ponies looked totally beautiful in the last part

[@dustinfisher29]

Why getting more and more horses if the people can't even take care of one?

[@Louie2017]

This is just one reason I love my barn we may show our horses but ALL of our horse go out EVERY SINGLE day with plenty of fresh grass and lots of hay and lots of love and of course lots of cookies

[@that_beautiful_arabian_mar9531]

and I loved that when the ladies took the halters off, they went straight to the grass. haha

[@calliejet4499]

I don't understand how people can do this :(

[@lynnegee6814]

"Her dietary requirements were not being met." No sh*t Sherlock! Not getting at you, but that is the most radical piece of understatement I've heard in a long time. Thank you for doing this work

[@heartshapedd1]

These videos create crazy feelings... First overwhelming sadness, anger, feeling of powerlessness... And if a horse survives comes tears of joy, relief, gratitude for the people who are doing this work...

[@bigcatproductions2789]

Amazing recovery ! 🏆💪

[@randybutler4772]

Incredible to see the improvement in their improved condition.🐴🐴🐴

[@ninawisnia3542]

you are very good people saving horses + ponies

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

What a lovely change to see in them.

[@DanaCatherineMulder]

It never ceases to amaze me what people can do to animals.. I love seeing the ends of these videos though because it shows me some of the greater things people are capable of doing for these animals :) There are the few that don't make it (may they rest in peace) but the ones who pull through always look ten times better in the end.

[@dianepeoples3902]

You do a wonderful job!

[@4evahorseluva]

Your facilites are amzing!! one day i want to own a rescue centre for horses :) youve made those horses sooo happy and they looks amazing :) Goodluck for the future :)

[@karatgirl2827]

Thank you!

[@imuglyasshit3416]

I wish a horse for so long because i really love horses and I would NEVER treat them like that. And they got three horses and they treat them so bad...Its just sad

[@ItsBeth1MvU]

You guys are life savers♥

[@susanmcewan302]

I'll never understand this level of neglect and flat out abuse.

[@myprophet1]

HOORAY! Great saves! The bay mare is gorgeous. Love your vids, so professional. And as always, thank-you so much for your work:)

[@amydavis9838]

+Alycia B. The little grey one that was laying in the doorway they put her down :(

[@lovelylittlerosesc3777]

I’m so sad the wee grey one had to be put down I remember a horse My mother had growing up silky was her name she sadly got mouth cancer and had to be put down! :(

[@susanannmclaughlin1634]

Thank you so much for helping these ponies. I hope the owner goes to prison for the suffering he caused to those beautiful ponies. So unnecessary...heartbreaking.

[@yolandathomas-going8609]

"gave me an indication that possibly her dietary requirements werent being met" REALLY WOW I DIDNT NOTICE aha but you guys are doing brilliant!

[@keirx01]

OMG it makes me cry seeing these poor horses in such a state

[@keirx01]

:(

[@createwithbarbbl4125]

Now that's a life worth living. Thank you so much.

[@ekramer1030]

That's what it made me think of as well. They are so beautiful in the end, and that field is just gorgeous. (And I'm pretty sure that those stables are cleaner than parts of my own home...)

[@arkhumrox]

The best bit is when the horses are released into a wide open paddock :) always makes me smile

[@RachaelMUA]

in love with that beautiful bay mare :))

[@wandanash1364]

Freedom at last for those beautiful horses,,,, it was very sad that th other one had to be put to sleep. If l decide to have another horse it will definitely be a rescue one,, l loved the bay. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴

[@curlywurlyslimes8519]

I'm shocked at how well they look now ! I'm in love with the black gelding !!!!

[@fancydarlin1]

TOTALLY had a childhood flashback when the black revealed his white star! It clicked, and I yelled " It's Beauty, Ginger and Merrylegs!"

[@lorispataro763]

Thank you so much !

[@clah399]

If horses ever expressed contentment, then these 3 do. Well done.

[@123Barrelracer456]

Black Beacty Ginger and Merrylegs!

[@mangokiwibanana]

Lovley. I feel very happy for the ponies. Why are the boxes in the recovery center with no bedding?

[@madduck2323]

That little grey pony is a cutie!!

[@sailhobiecat]

Oh... when that little grey pony whinnied when she saw the people coming... melts my heart :) Now those horses are living a lovely life.

[@reecek2597]

Bless you.

[@doggiesarus]

I cannot possibly understand why anyone would let the conditions get as bad as they did. I'm so soft hearted they would have been living in my house before they had gotten to the stage they had. Strange.

[@feiabrusse-bergsma9233]

Really hope that you or the police found the owner and that he is punished for this .Because it 's so cruel. So sorry for these horses

[@GirlyGirl286]

that little grey pony didnt need to die why cant people just look after animals properly thry made an amazing recovery from the state they were in its utterly amazing

[@kawythowy867]

Beautiful job!

[@tabbyycatcos]

You guys are amazing for what you do

[@speedstacker51]

Whoever got that Bay mare is a very lucky person!!! Course, all of them are beyond adorable :)

[@redwingfan2845]

What a complete change! Dark emaciated Horses to clean Full of life "Running Happy" to be a horse again. What a change Great Job! I Just found this website and founding that a lot of these comments are more than one, two, 5 years old! And to think that if a car went into a ditch, and farm with horses were nearby Those horse could pull him out with no problem and send him on his way. To think they are kept this way.

[@livlovolivia1029]

so happy that they look and are better

[@petanicholson9549]

This is absolute animal abuse. Its disgusting. I'm so glad that people like this excist to save the poor creatures.

[@tashadeacon2734]

i would love one but my sister is allergic to horses

[@TheHorseLady1212]

This settles it. I'm moving to Europe to help these people out. It's so beautiful over there!

[@speedstacker51]

The bay!

[@tablesalt4148]

the bay is stunning wow

[@evanicky7613]

This is why you get lessons in places before you get a horse to learn how to take care of them

[@patriciaetheridge5944]

Oh my god, how sad for someone to do that to these poor horses. I hope they get some help

[@jaynehathaway3717]

thank you

[@lorispicer4598]

Im wondering what is wrong with the bay's front right hoof?, she got a boot or covering on it.

[@christinestill5002]

Are these "owners" punished by the courts? WHY do ppl want these horses & ponies if they can't or don't want to care for them?

[@angela3196]

Please tell me the slugs that neglected these horses where punished. I can't think of a word to express how I feel after watching this....rage is a good start

[@worldhorsewelfare]

@twilight22twilight Hi there, the film was made at our Glenda Spooner Farm Recovery and Rehoming Centre in Somerton, Somerset, check out our website for the opening hours of our farms if you would like to come along and meet the ponies.

[@prabhuaps]

I'm so happy for he horses they look beautiful now :-)

[@chloel_-fj6yz]

Why did the bay when it was galloping at the end have like a green bell boot or something on it’s hoof?

[@wolfdemondxx]

The black gelding is soooooo beautiful how many hands his he?

[@rebecca11391]

wow, these horses actually look really nice.

[@elenakovalick817]

I feel so bad for the horses because i love horses

[@theonewiththehorse]

...They didn't need to be neglected to be treated well. what their previous owner did to them was completely unacceptable.

[@harmkevdmeer]

I really don't understand people😭 if you don't wanne care for a horse dont buy them🤔😣 Happy to see them healthy at the end of the video!

[@brigittejeffs7037]

The horses are sooo cute poor baby but they're okay

[@leoniahughes4068]

ive always wanted to work with the Rehoming Centre becuae i used to help my uncle with a couple do you know where the closes on to dover kent is as work experice coming soon xoxox

[@CharlyDeamen]

People who are capable of this sort of cruelty should lose their status as "people". They're vicious monsters, and should be put down.

[@barbarachipman2923]

This is sickening.

[@sm8634]

Did the little gray have shavings?

[@poppythornhill621]

How awful who would do this to such beautiful creatures I’m an equestrian and would never dream of doing that but I’m happy that they have now got a super home for life 😃

[@SimplyJed22528]

The grey and the bay would make excellent show ponies. The black looks like an excellent hunter / pleasure horse type. Hope for the very best for these guys :)

[@MG-jj3pn]

Majestic animals

[@ponytales9582]

Wait the ‘R.L.C.NUMBER’ mark is the same one as the rider large’s case..

[@reaganclarke6878]

What is wrong with the brown one’s hoof?

[@diamondwhite1]

Like I said in many comments this is a crime but it’s not a crime to ask for HELP

[@johnmansell5097]

This is dreadful, why do people keep horses in these conditions. Something must be done to control the owning of a horse, I have two rescues at the moment fully passported and chipped and doing very well. Animal Welfare act And Equine Identification regulations are insufficient to control as this goes on all the time.
