The sight of the highland cattle rushing to welcome the little ponies and the ponies towards them ...ancestral friends...heartwarming

[@claudiahorsevideos]

Most Importantly a big old thank you to the person who donated his property and resources to save all these animals. If you do the math it is near 60 after foaling. What a wonderful person you are and thank you volunteers, and I hope the people who owned and forgot about this herd get their fair share. Thank you for saving all these pony's. There is a special place in heaven for you.

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

When I was 10 years old, I wanted a Shetland pony. And now, over 60 years later, I still want a Shetland pony.

[@okayhi2594]

You’d be like 200 my guy

[@Toytatu]

Tom are you gonna get one? You should😭❤️

[@sallyr.6891]

Me too!

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

[@drfaizahash]

Yeah they're so cute! Perfect for anyone!💞💞

[@littlebird8837]

Thank goodness the owner had them picked up while they were in good condition. They're gorgeous and all seem very sweet and well behaved....😊💖🐎💙

[@zukosmom3780]

Shame on the people who disliked this video. We need people like this to step up and rescue animals. Well done ❤️

[@YukiTogawa]

I can't stop crying. I have not cried for a good year because I'm numb and dissociated from decades of being subject to child trafficking and adult trafficking. I can trust animals but not human... I'm so happy to see these ponies find a greatest home they can have. lot's of kids and perhaps people like me that need to heal. your organization is not just for animals. it's a place to feel again as a human. Joey told me about your farm. I'm glad I dropped by.

[@cynthiamcwhorter6721]

All God's creatures deserve our care and respect. People who do these rescues are surely blessed by God. Thank you everyone for doing this.

[@wildcat.7834]

It warms my heart to see this,I hope the ponies live a long happy life.😊

Hello I am Erics fiancee, and I really really LOVE this video. So touching!!! I love all Horses. As I know and have cared for quite a few in my lifetime. But its been forever and a day since I have gone riding. I love Shetland ponies to! Thank you for the work you do everyday for these Gods Creatures

[@LazydayM]

People like you make humanity worth saving.

[@johnandbevthompson]

Thank you for giving them a new life together in lots of space with other animals they can enjoy next to them.

[@maggiemcc]

Thank you and God bless all the rescuers for saving these gorgeous ponies ❤

[@jassy_badges]

I'm so happy they were rescued it's nice to see people care

[@cliodhnamorgan6590]

I adopted the skewbald at 0:37 I named her clover and her foal who is now an energetic little mare called storm

[@luluappler]

was wondering about updates, thank you

[@lynettebarr5412]

These sweet little Shetlands being abandoned is too heartbreaking. I've always wanted to have a couple for my grandchildren. 28 pregnant mares is a lot of ponies!!!

[@lauraburgess4287]

May God bless you for all the work you do. Thank you for caring for all these beautiful creatures:)

[@headrockdogsrescue899]

Such a beautiful sight to see these little furries slowly come out of the trailer into a warm clean barn with lots of hay. I hope they live happy lives and even get adopted into loving homes. We rescue dogs in Thailand and I know how important rescues are. Brilliant work to everyone involved.

[@RawRanch]

Thank GOD for people like you that cared and saved these pony's. xoxoxox

[@sadiesnell9651]

This rescue is amazing... they're willing to take on almost 60 Shetland ponies. 2 stallions, 28 mares and presumably about 28 foals as well. And look at how well they treat them... they're so gentle and patient. The ponies look so happy!

[@jd9351]

I hope the stallions were gelded.

[@terrylenore2684]

OMG!!! I started to cry in the first 17 secs and am at 3:00 now!! OMG!!! How many more mins can I watch! Can I adopt them ALL!! They are so precious!

[@barbarashaffer3032]

God bless those who rescue anything & everything

[@louisecassidy5991]

They are in excellent condition and good to handle. No drama, just a lot of ponies to come out of one truck. Cute.

[@reikivictoria]

precious video..these sweet trusting little beings... so many tears of joy watching their arrival and welcome... thank you soooooooooo much....

[@fmorant2222]

What beautiful Shetland ponies.

[@mesatop5]

They are precious! They look like big fuzzy guinea pigs. And the unloading scene reminded me of the old "clowns in a Volkswagen" skit. Thank you so much for being there for them.

[@logancourtney5570]

So glad you were able to save the entire family! What I don't understand is how so many people can dislike this video?? Those who dislike such a thing must be disturbed individuals.

[@Automedon2]

Seeing those little horses come of the transport makes you realize how innocent and dependent animals are on humans to treat them well. They are completely at the mercy of us and we had better treat them with kindness and respect.

[@thejack9178]

They aren't dependent on humans at all they would do much better on their own in the wild away from humans

[@Automedon2]

@@thejack9178 They wouldn't do better on their own. Those little ponies are the result of human breeding, as are all modern animals. They do need humans at this point.

[@thejack9178]

@@Automedon2 wrong, there is millions of domesticated animals living in the wild, most domesticated animals just don't need humans and would do much better in the wild. Most animals don't even want to be in captivity.

[@jaybomb8371]

Thanks to all who helped these poor babies.

Tears are ruining down my face while I watched this very special clip of the pony's rescue . You people are tfue heroes for givings this delightful little herd a new chance at life . Thank you for being there and helping them through their time of need , you truly are angels ☺

[@BacklitRabbit]

I love when all the bulls run over at the end, like they can't wait to meet their new neighbors.

[@MissJessyeNorman]

They're ladies I'll have you know ;) There may be a bull or two amongst them. But, I suspect they're mostly cows. They just have lovely big horns too. I forget the name of the breed, it's an ancient one. I love how "matchy-matchy" they are with the Shetlands, a surfeit of voluminous hair... =)

[@xradelox]

They're Scottish Highland cattle 😊

[@mjpier4180]

What is amazing is how, despite not being cared for previously the ponies are so calm being looked at and groomed. Hope they have found new loving homes. Horses and ponies are not cheap to look after. Ask people who own them about the commitment needed. A friend was going to buy a pony. She thought seeing it once a week to ride it was sufficient

[@franpie2264]

What adorable little beings they are. Thank you Hillside team. God Bless xxx

[@JJ-Toreddie]

I recently got a shitland pony as my support animal. Never have I been more happy and fulfilled

[@carlahead5072]

GOD BLESS YOU AND THIS WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION!!! Knowing that they are somewhere where they can get fed,and that all of their needs will be met is such an unselfish act,and I think that it is a beautiful thing. The fact that you guys took them all in to provide them with the help they desperately needed made me feel really happy for sure. I t upsets me so much seeing sweet,innocent animals being cruelty treated and all they wanted was for someone to love them. That’s not speaking much. Thank you guys so much for everything you do everyday to help keep these animals healthy and happy and never having to worry about where their next meal will come from,or whether or not they’ll receive plenty of TLC. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@laurenrusti4085]

this made me so emotional, and to see someone with that many ponies, i would be graceful for just 1 never mind a whole herd, i feel so relieved that there is an organisation like Hillside Animal Sanctuary there to help horses that have been left to starve or have been abandoned, thank you so much for your work, i will definitely be donating because i never really under stood what you guys do, but know i know, you have a soft spot in your hearts for helping poor innocent horses, a very big and deserved well done!

[@wirinaholstein4076]

Oh no - how can anything be this cute? I have 2 of these tiny Shetlands running around with my riding horses and I too got them as rescues as they were left on a property where a family was behind in rent and in the eye of the social office for child neglect so they fled the house and county, leaving behind the ponies and cats. Someone else took the cats. I was the only horse owner within 10 kilometers and therefore the Police called me to ask me to take them into custody for temporary care. So I drove over there, got the two little ones and walked them all the way home.
