New Intake Barn Progress - Horse Plus Happenings #12 | 10-14-2024

[@animalcrazee]

I want to offer my deepest respect to Haley, Shane, Angel, and Leland on Indigenous People's Day from my home state of Massachusetts, home of the Wampanoag and the great Chief Massasoit, who brokered peace with the settlers who arrived in Plymouth. It is a holiday here, and most businesses closed. Would love to see a remake of "The Horse Whisperer" starring these incredible gentlers. Shout-outs to Keith for being indispensable and to Maisie for the great video and narration.

[@sharihenderson7621]

Want to give a big shout out to Keith. After watching almost all episodes of HorsePlus over the years, Keith has been involved in solving so many issues. He is multi-talented and hard working. Don't know what y'all would have done without his expertise! Kudos to both Keith and Angela (who has kept the office running smoothly).

[@sandrakarls8466]

I agree totally with you!! An I remember him, having health issues in the past! So for that, I´m sometimes worried for him, not to overwork himself!!

[@stardust949]

I totally agree. I'm a huge Keith fan as well.

[@bcgrote]

Keith is amazing! Always busting butt, feeding and fixing with joy. What a hero ❤❤

[@wendy6781]

@@sharihenderson7621 I was thinking that too as I was watching him work on the doorknob. ❤️

[@hazelsmith1716]

He's awesome!

[@maryaquala8982]

It’s so nice that the woman narrating the blog names the horses as we see them.

[@LTA42]

Thank you to all the Navajo horse gentler’s. It is so nice to see how they spiritually look at the horses you get that need the healing from their past. It’s a gift. The word breaking horses is a past attitude. Horses have such blessed souls they need to remember that. Your new video girl is fantastic she’s doing a great job. Congratulations to you all for the dedication you put in each day. Plus the veterinary ladies you are remarkable your love of your work you do and the animals know it.Priceless.👍

[@marieparkes321]

Sorry to see the horse gentlers go. They brought a bit of magic to the show.

[@suebee1436]

Agree

[@cree_VI]

it's sad that horse gentlers are leaving, best luck for them, they did a good job ❤

[@patcummings6950]

I don't know the name of the young lady that does these blogs, but she does a really great job. The best narrator of what's going on that you have ever had on here. Really enjoy the way she presents and the subject matter ... succinct.. interesting.. and caring. A sweetie.

[@jennyrosd2003]

I agree. Shes great! Relaxing to listen to and shes good at explaining thing. She loves the critters. And....whats her name? 🤪❤

[@HughLlewellyn]

These vlogs are done by the twins, Haylee and Maycee, and I bet I misspelled their names. SORRY! But yeah, it's the twins. And unless they say who they are, I never know which is which. 😄🧡💛

[@PurdueAlum01]

It's one of the twins Haley & Maisie, but I wish I knew which one! They are both on the media team...am sure one day we will figure out just who the narrator/videographer is!

[@HughLlewellyn]

@@PurdueAlum01 Yep. They switch off doing the vlogs and editing.

[@loribaker8339]

I really like her too! She speaks clearly, she's funny and she covers all the interesting stuff!

[@marilynbridges8697]

I love the way Mr. Leland works with the horses!

[@trudypowell8303]

Many thanks to the horse gentlers. Well done.

[@rosewhite8647]

It's distressing to me that someone would surrender 8 horses in such obvious distress and not have at least one of them vetted to have a clue as to the .medical issues they may have! Human to animal transmission is no joke. I'm glad you contacted authorities. This is why laws need to change and be enforced. I'm so glad you caught it right away!

[@PurdueAlum01]

I'm not sure they will get into what went on with the previous owners because these particular horses came from Jason and Tawnee transporting the horses from that Yellowstone celebrity's facility, or nearby, directly to be brought to the horse gentling program. I'm sure because they know the source of the horses that they have informed them about the progress and the illnesses. Hopefully that facility will start with healthy horses if there are any further transfers. Although going from state to state, they would have had to have vetting before that. I don't know that we'll ever find out what exactly happened if it was just untimely vetting or insufficient or if anyone can tell when these wild ones got really sick, and when they got a human transferable disease. I feel like the game plan for now will be get them healthy and move forward with the gentling, but who knows they might give us updates If they somehow find the trail of where it came from or how it came about. Or maybe just what vetting was involved prior to transfer.

[@rosewhite8647]

Thank you for the information PurdueAlum01. Coggins would have been necessary for transport. A very would have drawn the in blood. Perhaps the horses weren't exhibiting symptoms at that point. It's just frustrating that HPHS must now absorb the medical costs to rehab them and expose themselves to a dangerous disease.

[@traceywoodbridge3396]

Keith is just incredible. Hayley is a Superstar. Sorry to see the horse handlers leaving. They really are incredible with the horses. Love to you all from South Africa

[@moccasinlanding]

LOVE the Navajo Nation young people who come to gentle the horses! Please give each of them my blessings, and my appreciation. They are good ambassadors for their People, and make a great impression. I am so happy that HPHS has an ongoing connection with the Nation.

[@joanneminer7046]

Big thank you to Keith! He’s one of your older( not old) employees ‘& does a lot of the physical labor( repair work, shoveling rocks, hand digging trenches, pressure washing, , cleaning troughs,toting heavy bags of feed etc). He is consistently busy & personable. A Get’er done kind of guy, the guy who keeps the machine running. Koodos to Keith!!!

[@thewillowsapprentice5635]

I'm in the UK & love watching the Navajo horse gentler, Leland should have his own channel 😊

[@NedraJansen]

If Leland had his own channel, I would be his happiest subscriber

[@sandrajebb2790]

I could watch Shane and Amber all day. This was a great video; thanks for showing the last bit of Mr. Leland and Torito!

[@lotti-l4i]

Thank you so much Amber and Shane❤❤Great job🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🏆🏆

[@hethacopland3713]

The woman who does these videos has a wonderful voice and is a natural with the animals., really calming to see and listen to.

[@bcgrote]

Thanks to the first team of gentlers! Such great work. Your quiet spirits and tenacity has changed horses lives! I've loved seeing you work. Be safe and blessed in your futures! ❤❤

[@carolinechew2432]

Atlas is gorgeous (though stinky)!!!!! Diphtheria. . . The only person I’ve ever known who had it,-- got it in Papua, New Guinea. . . Are they going to be able to trace this person?!? The Lovely, Lovely people from the Navajo Nation are a Gift to watch and experience and will be sorely missed. Come back Soon!!! 😊❤

[@andreaciceri794]

Great work Amber and Shane. We hope to see you again soon.

[@CrimFerret]

Wow, diphtheria isn't something you probably ever expected. Probably a good call postponing the event.

[@alycewich4472]

💯

[@celialasseter5882]

Hello there from some serious horse lovers in Cornwall UK. Admire tremendously what you are doing 😊

[@sandinielsen4401]

Thank you for these snapshots of the doings at Horse Plus. Much appreciated. ❤❤

[@jmleeinla4025]

Thank you so much for these dailies. They brings the things we’ve never seen from horse plus you are so calming with your commentary. I just love it.

[@nikkiknight9455]

I love watching the Gentlers ❤

[@ValC-vn5vl]

So sorry to see Amber and Shane leaving. Hope they come back. Calm, gentle and peaceful souls. Ambers braid is really shining

[@synnvekjerstad5705]

Keith is gold. Is there anything he cant do? And he has a laughter that makes me smile. Thank you Amber and Shane. It has been a pleausure to see you work. I have learnt a lot just watching you. I do hope you will come back soon. I would love to learn more about the navajo people. You are truly a horsepeople. Safe travels back home and PLEASE come back soon.

[@Linda-k4v]

Keith is invaluable. So very handy.

[@Cynthia-p3e]

It's feels really spiritual to watch the gentlers do their jobs, and do it so well. It is a real shame the rest of the country has no idea about what an asset we have for these beautiful creatures...😢❤ Thank you for giving them a spot light that they truly deserve!!!❤❤❤

[@Annet067]

Happy indigenous people day to the indigenous trainers

[@stardust949]

I think it was a good decision to delay your Adoption Event----that's got to be really concerning, Diphtheria, wow.

[@Linda-k4v]

Please let us know who you are because you are doing a good job. An excellent job! SHOUT OUT TO YOU whoever you are.

[@barryandjackypowell8239]

As an elderĺy widow watching ftom South Africa, who 60 +years ago wanted to become a vet !( but idea squashed by her father😢) I applaud your organisation for the scope of your rescue mission and the incredibke strides you are making to better the lives of the animals, and staff working conditions as a whole. I only wish I were in a position to financially contribute but know your work and success is in my prayers. ❤Jacky

[@HeleneBurger-o2n]

Thanks again for a wonderful daily vlog! It's awesome to see all the great work the staff do. I have so much respect for them, as well as the Horse Gentlers, they are amazing with the horses! Love all the beautiful horses and all the other animals at HPHS, they look amazing and happy. Thank you all for what you do, I love your organization ❤🙏

[@virginiawilkinson5038]

That is a beautiful saddle. Nice job.❤

[@Groundedsquirrel]

Neat video, thanks. Honey does look better.

[@prayinggrandmothers734]

Idea…. Brain Storm❤❤❤ An idea for an animated version of horse plus for children to learn about good horsemanship… I can’t wait… 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

[@HughLlewellyn]

Awww. We'll really miss Shane and Amber. I hope they get to come back in the future, or we get to see them when Horse Plus goes back out west again. ❤❤

[@cynthiamcgee4829]

Amber and Shane did an excellent job and I will miss watching them work. They were awesome along with Leland he is amazing to watch as well. 💕🐎

[@sallyfurness9496]

Loving the daily updates and regular members vlogs, also the narration/filming person is great, sorry not sure who she is? one of the twins?

[@ChrisPassmore-id8on]

Diptheria!! Never have I heard of that in horses before. My gosh, you guys are having the weirdest things happen lately. Approve the extra precautions that you take! Good job!

[@loribaker8339]

Best of luck back home Shane and Amber! Yay! Back to the Navajo Nation! You guys did a great job at Horse Plus. Enjoyed watching the progress you made with the horses. I live about 50 miles south of Holbrook. I'll bet you'll be glad to get home for awhile. There's no place like home and there's no place prettier. ❤

[@akantiia]

The twins are doing a great job with all the filming!

[@Golden1989-days]

Really enjoying the daily vlogs. It is so much more insightful in showing ALL the aspects of the charity in comparison to just seeing the traumatic intake days. I love how all the team matter and not just the two incredible vets. Still miss Corey though 😢. Thank you, all of you. ❤

[@NaunetteMartin]

You guys have to good vet and I like your to vets and they know want they are doing a about horse Nanette

Y’all were so wonderful to delay the adoption event… sometimes people don’t always do the right thing! Y’all always do. I love this format of daily happenings!! Take care ! ❤❤😊❤

[@sandrakarls8466]

Oh, right now I read the comments and learned that they are twins who probably share the same work! So I want to compliment them both!! Great work! And the length of the videos is good to handle on daily basis for me!! And thank you for the Horse Gentlers Shane and Amber!! You have done a great job! Hope to see you one day again if the rotation is fulfilled!!

tolles Video, danke, sehr viel Information , super Team. 🥰😍🤩

[@maverickspirit208]

Reminds me of the summer I did casual in the field "drive by brushings" with 40 wild mustangs. By the end of the summer all but 7 would fight for their chance to be brushed, and I do mean FIGHT over me. I'd have to quickly back away or I'd been in the middle of a war zone. I never pushed any of them ever, it took only a couple weeks for the first band if 3 horses to start walking towards me as soon as they saw my car pull down the long lane. (They climbed on my car over and over, so don't park your car near mustangs unless you want real life hoof indents on your hood!) No ropes, no pressure, no nothing and most of the bands within the herd became putty in my hands in no time, including picking up feet. However, the old boss mustang mare and her entire band never came close to me to even touch that summer.

[@daphnerandall4084]

What a nice video-you did a great job, and I really appreciate your gentleness. I’m sorry I don’t know your name. Please introduce yourself next video. You do such entertaining storytelling and interviews with the other staff and volunteers😊

[@Jaynes-Path]

When Bucks are in rut, boy can they stink! Honey's little goat friend is probably in season and the Bucks can smell her.

[@kajinsautumn9833]

Torito is sure a nice looking Mustang! If I was younger.... lol!

Keith is excellent at cleaning out tubs.

Hallo everyone at Horse Plus. I agree, Keith solves a lot of issues. The horse gentlers are great.

[@nicoladennett311]

Thank you so much for all the videos you create. I enjoy each one even the harder intake videos. Love from Devon, UK

[@sarahmealing2510]

😅 Just wondering a couple of months back. You had a gelding. Come in with a very swollen sheath. Have you found out what was wrong and what happened to him? Please. It was a beautiful looking horse. It was amazing household and he was. Thank you, Sarah from England.❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@joannekoferl3333]

Great preventive precautions.

[@Linda-k4v]

It is unbelievable how much hay you go through. Horses are not cheap.

[@alycewich4472]

And that's in addition to the pastures. Dealing with ones that are old and or injured or underweight costs even more.

[@Linda-k4v]

It is very good to watch Shawn work with the horses.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video guys

[@Anij34]

Current take on this style of filming: Love a little behind the scenes of running the place (a little bit of it), love the girls wandering outside and naming off the horses and sharing info on them, love watching the gentlers. Not loving the following: here's a washing machine, here's hay, here's poop, here's a cat (cute cats of course). I am not coming down on anyone, I love the channel and love Hrs Pls and I know they are under staffed. However, some of the daily things can be skipped.

[@missyb7411]

Good call on postponing the event. Praying everyone stays well and no one contracts diphtheria. Poor Haley had gotten a lot of that snot on her. Hopefully she had the DTaP vaccines when she was a kid. Are the horses most likely going to recover from it? Cherokee is such a handsome boy!

[@stilllearning8360]

Hauled or Maycee...y'all do a wonderful job of these vlogs!! You're so kind and loving g toward all the animals!!!! 💕🙏👍

[@judithjury5537]

I love watching your videos. All the way from Western Australia in Quairading ❤🐎🙏

[@sandrakarls8466]

Well done , again!! I´m not sure if this is Maesy ( I´m pretty bad with names and It is written wrong for sure, sorry! ) but you are doing such a good job! You need to fill out a lot of time, you need to capture all important stuff at the moment and you need to talk at the same time to inform us! This is not easy at all! I like your voice and how you put a lot of empathy and personal feeling in it!! Thank you!

[@lisagilbert8472]

I really enjoyed this vlog, thank you for the details about everything going on at Horse Plus. I am not sure who was filming and narrating but in my opinion she did an awesome job. Clear concise annunciation was all wonderful. ❤❤ I never knew that a horse could become infected with diphtheria? That was very interesting to learn.

[@harmonymarty]

If you neuter the two goat rams, they won't stink as much. I worked on a cashmere goat farm and rams that we didn't use for breeding,we neutered. They didn't display that gross behavior or stink like the intact males.

[@alycewich4472]

100% agree.

[@Linda-k4v]

She is looking really good.

[@FeatheredLife]

I will have watch later no CC

[@nikkia9506]

Every day is a learning day. I never knew horses could get diphtheria, let alone from humans. I'm also now worried about how many people are being infected with diphtheria in the area the horse came from. (Just did a bit of Googling. Found out horses used to be the source of medical diphtheria antibodies, something I'm happy we don't have to do any more)

[@cowgirlval5216]

Great job guys!❤

[@claudiadickerman4218]

Leland and the last horse before he leaves at the start of this video. I have to say that is one nice looking horses, if he was off the res or a BLM horses, he sure is a nice one. I believe he will be adopted for sure.

[@rebeccauurtamo857]

FANTASTIC BLOG ❤

[@SuzzanebartonBarton]

Will the billy goats be castrated and put up for adoption? Will that stop their need to get stinky?

[@kerithoma1955]

Hope those horses that are not feeling so well. And I hope you get the results back that you want from the CDC for all of your horses.

I really like this simpler video. The intros before felt too heavy.

[@sandrakarls8466]

Well you are right, but it IS sometimes heavy stuff to watch! Actually, I liked the song "Who will save us..." very much!! The melodie, the voive of the singer and the message in it!!!

Couldn't hear people without microphones or videographer when she asked Gentlers questions. I'm visually impaired so I can't rely on cc.

Are there any steps that need to be taken with the staff who have already come in contact with these 8 horses, especially the one with diphtheria?

[@foyerfelin]

many people get polio from changing nappies of recently vacinated baby humans. Could be same with diptheria.

could this be the reason: Diphtheria is a potentially fatal infectious disease and is particularly dangerous in regions where vaccination coverage is low. In the event of an infection, treatment has so far been with an antiserum, diphtheria antitoxin (DAT), which is produced in horses.21 Jan 2020 (wikipedia)
