The Reality of Rescue | Diva's Story

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

Somebody, probably more than one person, loved this mare. Through all her pain she had a kind sweet eye.

[@VK-qe7if]

But obviously they didn't love her enough to send her to an auction to end up in the slaughter pipeline. So very sad 😢😢😢

[@beckyv3369]

Thank you for taking care of her and sending her off with dignity and love.

[@camaleek]

What a sweet heart breaking gentle mare. Thank you for your love, kindness and care at her end.😢 Your vets are truly heroes for the horses.❤❤❤

[@Lucy1256]

I have such admiration for all of you. I want to think that she was loved by someone once, it shows. 😢

[@LadyEnyalus]

So sad, you did what was best for her. RIP Diva.

[@wolfmare50]

So grateful she didn’t have to trailer thru anymore pipeline. Love your work integrity and kindness.

[@patriciasmith3973]

Thank you for releasing her and others from pain. It takes a toll on you too. Love and support!

[@ilovekhemosabey]

I appreciate that you give these beautiful animals names despite knowing that the last act of kindness will be their best option. It shows that they aren't just a number.

[@starlenekalinski5633]

She was so pretty. Too bad she suffered so much.

[@lovelolliej]

Seeing her eat some grass, feel some sunshine and love made me tear up. Thank you for taking care of this sweet horse

[@HughLlewellyn]

Thank you for being there even when all you can do is relieve the suffering and prevent these horses from enduring that last agonizing ride to a brutal end in Mexico. Thank you for being the ones who do what these horses' owners should have instead of making a few bucks on the horses they used up. Thank you for your huge hearts and courage to keep fighting the good fight against ignorance and cruelty. Thank you Horse Plus. 💙

Rest In Peace Diva. 😢

[@HorseLady1109]

This poor horse! So sweet and suffering. Thank you for doing right by her.

[@LaRa-xm3um]

Only tears 😭over the suffering that has been inflicted on Diva. And then thrown into the hell of the slaughter transports...

[@debbywelchel3893]

I love the way your love shows towards these special horses. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

[@bevkern3858]

Nice horse at one time

[@francesbuhle9001]

Sure hard to take such a sweet mare with so much going on. She received more attention from you gals than she probably has for some time. It's great to see your love for horses and their quality of life.

[@randofromiowa]

People who ditch any pet rather than do the right thing are disgusting.

[@atsavvy6.0]

Shame on Divas owners . 😢 Blessings to HPHS.

[@anniesayles5010]

Poor beautiful girl, i hope the former owner sees this and feels ashamed

[@lesleybunce9848]

Rest in peace sweet Diva 💔

[@N_v_G]

Run free without pain, gorgeous Diva.

[@grannieannie1371]

I'm so glad she didn't have to make that trip in the back of a truck down to Mexico. That would have been unbelievably painful for her. At least she got care and dignity before she was put down. Poor girl, it's a shame her owner didn't care enough to have this done at her local refuge.

[@lyndawilliams1201]

Rip diva run free beautifull❤

[@CarrollWilson-r7d]

When i see the abuse and neglect that these poor horses receive from their prior owners i get enraged. I thank God there are caring individuals like you all that help the poor babies. My hat is off to you all.

[@Catlover53-lu9wy]

Being a prior horse owner, breaks my heart. Our horses lived a happy life and when the time came, we put them down. I miss them every day.

[@Emurderproductions]

Appreciate the information boxes that are popping up during the video

[@HughLlewellyn]

Yes! Those were a really nice touch.

[@missyb7411]

Poor sweet girl

[@ChantalsCritters]

Rip now in no pain

[@mikehenry6284]

RIP DIVA ❤ No more pain beautiful girl, nothing but green fields and wide open pastures for you to run and be free. Love and God Bless you all at HPHS for putting this beautiful mare out of her misery 😢. Love and God Bless you all 💜 ✝️ Jennifer

[@claudiadickerman4218]

thanks for giving her kind relief. rip Diva

[@bevkern3858]

So sad

[@cynthiamcgee4829]

Diva was such a sweet kind mare and I know the Last Act of kindness was probably the best thing for her. How can somebody have a horse and love a horse and then treat them like that and throw them away is beyond me. My horses I have when it is their time to go, they cross the Rainbow Bridge with their head in my lap. And yes that is very hard to do but for all the love and work and pleasure they have given me they do not deserve to die in an auction house a slaughterhouse, they deserve to go with me by their side and with dignity. 💔🙏💕🐎🌹

[@pmc6853]

Sold her, shoved her in a truck to try to balance and fight for food and water. Someone loved her for part of her 30 year life! Shame

[@sussiemikkelsen1764]

🙏💙💫

[@pmc6853]

4 to 8 weeks of fracture pain and no one helped her. 😢

[@kym7017]

🌈❤

[@frenchbulldawg]

You know the last act of kindness is a sweet way of saying that you had to put them down not that she didn't need to be put out of her misery but call it what it is 😢

[@marissanorth85]

Don't know why this is a problem...? Are you new?

[@Corgis175]

Two of my horses, both Appy mares, lived to 28 and a gelding died young at 20 but all in the end had some kind of cancer. I heard from way back that Horse Plus has their own crematory on the property to cremate the horses. Is that true. Better then letting the bodies go to a rendering plant. Two of my horses were cremated and are buried at a friend's retirement horse property and Best Friends in Kanab, UT. RIP Diva.

[@TinaEnemark]

Poor mare… her legs are as thin as dr. Lydias arms…

[@gabrielastoltz5647]

🙏🙏🪽😇🐶

[@giardinomuro5850]

I understand that Doctor Lydia 's decision is the best, but why don't give Diva the possibility of leaving at least a month in a peaceful place, together to other horses. Doc's attitude was a bit different
