Update on Liam the GIANT Belgian Draft Horse saved from almost being sent to slaughter-3 weeks later

[@kittyhaven1395]

I think he loves all the kind attention you all give him. Thank you❤

[@TNBredRose]

He looks so much better. Thanks for helping him

[@RedHybiscus]

When Cory was cleaning Liam’s hooves and you were comforting him, Liam was taking every second of that in. I do believe that was the most pure and potent medicine for his soul. He took that in like no other. I think that is most healing. Awesome stuff.

[@hansgustaf540]

You found the right words for this touching moment. It gave me a warm feeling to watch him enjoying love and care of his humans.

Dieses Pferd zeigt was trotz seines schlechten äußeren Zustands über den Bluck und das Verhalten, wie es seine Umwelt einschätzt und was in ihm vorgeht. Eines der besten Beispiele.

Liam is so trusting. I think he knows you are trying to help him. He has such a beautiful spirit. I hope Liam responds to his treatment so he can have a happy retirement.

[@TakeTheRide]

I just think it's fascinating that the cat is laying on the horse's tail and that the cat is already so fond of this horse and the horse does not mind the cat. Amazing animals. Both of them.

[@FletcherFarmsAmarillo]

The cats are brave! They rub on the horses legs and I’m always so scared they are going to get stomped.

[@finleyscotland]

My horse has a cat that hangs out with him and sleeps on his hay when he eats. He does not tolerate cats around his legs.

[@mousiebrown1747]

I’m a cat person. It is reported that the “musical” frequency of a cat’s purrs will stimulate healing. Kinda like the theory of good symphony music leading to good mental calmness. I do find a cat’s purrs to be very soothing and peaceful. Best to Liam and all.

[@metalheartlady1]

he walks much better than last time .I hope the therapy works quickly and that he is not in pain. He is a beautiful horse who has earned his retirement 💚🐴

What die you do to him? He has much more pain in his frontlegs, than at the beginning. He has to much and to good food, if he has that thickness in his hoofs. Maybee you gave him also some medication that makes it worse and he needs to cool his hoofs with water.

Because they don t want the horse to be in pain, as he is here, because they can t afford the veterinary bills?

[@JamieM470]

@@claesmansson9070 Send the horse off to be traumatized, dehydrated, abused, and painfully killed because "they don't want the horse to be in pain"? Yeah, makes total sense. There's a new thing called humanely euthanizing....maybe you've heard of it? And if they can't afford vet bills then they have no business owning a horse in the first place.

Grumpy Nanny, most all draft horses are gentle. Our 8 year old Shire mare is like a giant puppy. We've had her since she was 4 months old. She's 2200 pounds and 17 hands tall. It's weird that our 8 years old Morgan mare eats more than our 8 years old Shire mare. We've had both since they were 4 months old.

I'm not a horse person, but I was under the impression that horses don't like you fiddling with their feet. I thought they tolerate the farrier, but they're not crazy about it. This big boy just sprauled out & made himself comfortable while you cleaned out his feet! 😂 Also, Liam dunking his hay in water before eating it reminds me of a little kid dunking a cookie in his chocolate milk before eating it! 😂 Liam is a beautiful boy. I'm so glad he's in your care.

It is easier to eat for an old horse they loose their back teeth an hard to chew so we all soak their hay an grain to a mash an shld just be on mash and feed three to four times a day and about 2 to 3 lbs each serving I had one line to 35 he looked great but he got old an just died. He was beautiful. God blessed me with the time an the love to care for cate dogs horses even oylther people's children I have raised. I am a giver God Bless you all for you being a giver too. This is a lot of hard work but God has given me things all that I said I would NEVER even get a year they were so bad off ?!!well I have soaked feed an hay for years an those really badchorescall lived to be close to being 40
