[@vanityfair5823]

Absolute heros these women and their horses.

[@judierenfrow8073]

I still get goosebumps.

[@kilvihuy]

I read about this on Reader's Digest in French here in Canada this month (march 2008)

[@connydepooter6095]

En nog zoveel respect voor jullie ❤

[@AgnesPeeters]

Yes, that horse died a few days later. We just saw Animal Planet Houston SPCA on TV here in The Netherlands. Those things happenes all over the world.

A good place in heaven awaits the soul that sets free other souls

[@AgnesPeeters]

They were the heroes of the year 2006. It was their own idea, after several attempts to rescue the horses failed.

[@stephntilly]

ok well i think those ppl who saved them are very very brave and they should be very proud of themselves

[@klaravelez6358]

nem kell az aláfestő zene....nincs meghatóbb, mint a lábak által felkavart víz hangja.....ez a szabadulást jelentette......ez a videó számomra az egyik legkedvesebb....köszönet a 7 hölgynek, Normának is.......

[@iefje56]

I read there were 7 Brave Women on a Horse :D wow...... great heroos !!!

[@chizzywoo]

[@patzijlstra6676]

horses are just like people! at last someone comes to help them….but for many it is to late....13 years later and...nothing has changed…...nor for animals,nor for people

[@CookieToddo]

Hannah, don't start that rumor????? I hope that is not true!!! good grief! Yes, those women should be honored for dare to save those horses.. fabulous union all those horses went together.. awesome..

[@crowsarefab]

they were honoured - except for the lady who led the rescue attempt.

[@kilvihuy]

read about this on Reader's Digest this month (march 2008)in french, here in Quebec, Canada.

[@CookieToddo]

I never saw that part where two ladies rubbed the horse with the straw.. was that the horse that died two days later.. poor thing.. so cold and exhausted..

[@johnburns4017]

@chizzywoo He survived. He was put in a heated stable.

[@sonitasbambi]

Im sorry but your wrong, he did die..!!

[@johnburns4017]

sonitasbambi So sad.

[@sonitasbambi]

What many people do not know is that there are 19 deceased horses after the rescue operation and the majority of the rescued horses have gone to slaughter. very sad

[@dwightcohoon1885]

@@sonitasbambi yes u can see a dead horse at start of video

[@c0br41]

200 Horses

[@CookieToddo]

thank you, polderwijffie! Wow, that you get Animal Planet in Netherlands.. Oh, many time I am soooo embarrassed that many people here are so cruel to the animals.. I'll never understand why?? They should be shot for animal cruelty.. It has to be heartbroken for the ladies who tried to help the horse.. they did all they could.

[@AgnesPeeters]

Oh no, they didnot slaughter them. Most of the horses went back to the owner. He couldnot do anything about it.

[@Saartje05]

@polderwijffie The horses went back to the owner an THEN he wanted to sell them to the slaughter. Animal protection bought them to save those horses and the rotten owner laughed his ass off.

[@AgnesPeeters]

The horses were surprised by a storm.

[@johnmaine281]

woodlandelf09 - you have incorrect information .... Norma Miedema was one of the rescuers - and they were not her horses at all. She in fact suggested she could ride out and lead the herd back to safety - but the Authorities had other plans.. all failed. She was ignored. 3 days later the other women from the local riding club got sick the the authorities they banded together and told them they would ride out. By then the world was watching so they said OK to them. Norma became an embarrassment.

[@fardow]

thanks polderwijffie!!

[@Vera1993B]

the best way to approacht and save animals, particulary horses, in such a situation: just take a horse! (or another animal)

[@kirstinetermansen7234]

Count, you
