We Did Something Unprecedented - Part 2

I have so much respect for Pauly, he always has to clean up someone else's mess.

Thank God for recuse beautiful horses 🐎 🙏 horses 🐎 living life matters 🐎 God bless you all angels life's matter ❤️ 😇 🙏 ♥️ 💜

The farrier really knows what he's doing and has a great sense of humor..and very compassionate person. Really evident he loves animals

[@cattymajiv]

And he's so cute too! ❤❤❤

[@susanmatthews5901]

With a national shortage of equine veterinarians, Pony Tales is so very blessed to have Dr Kristen. She is obviously a talented equestrian with exceptional horse handling skills and one heck of a great, compassionate vet!

[@judytinker3392]

Yes, ponytails is lucky to have Dr. Kristen, Dave seems too unsure of so many ailments with the horses.

[@edithdannemiller1358]

I was wondering why Dr Kristen did t give those 2 poor horses some kind of pain meds. I just was wondering

Amen!!!

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Yes.. I'd definitely buy it..

[@lestedman-falls912]

For those who want to see Pauly give a clinic to the Amish, the ones who see value in the animal already take great care of them. They realize that a healthy animal works harder and lasts longer. The Amish who DON'T see any value in the animal are the ones who mistreat, abuse, and breed for quantity, not quality. They are the ones who need the clinic, but would never take the time to learn from it.

[@NinaLouise-kv8oo]

I am very impressed how farrier, vet and the pony tales team all work together. ❤

[@sharonhooks9071]

The entire Pony Tales team are the absolute best! I always love to see Dr Kristin and Pauly.❤

[@75SpeedRacer]

As Pauly says about driving by the Amish and seeing what’s wrong with them. Well it’s so true that’s what I see too when I look at other horses. They should be charged with the negligence of the poor horses. We need to be their voice. Love from Quebec 🇨🇦

[@memphis2375]

Dr Kristen is amazing! Dr Pullman is amazing! Their handling skills are kind but stern which is what these horses need! Of course there’s Pauly who is got a huge heart! You women are the best people, so caring and patient! Thank you so much for what you do for these beautiful souls! 😊❤

Pauly really does have a good heart!! Was a litle concerned to see how much pain he was in, just trying to stand upright!!

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

We were too. Turns out he had a different issue going on that was causing him stomach pain. He has been to the doctor now and our understanding is he is feeling much better now.

[@mlwtennessee322]

I can only imagine how heartbreaking making these quality of life decisions must be. It always amazes me how much care is shown toward each animal that comes through the gates. Both Dr. Kristin and Dr. Pillman have amazing skills and obviously love horses. Paulie is hands down the best ferrier ever. And the Pony Tales staff is the bomb! It always amazes me how much kindness is shown by every single person. I love you all!

I can’t lie. I lived in PA for years and traveled up to Amish Country for doctor’s appointments believe it or not, and I never thought of how awfully the horses are treated. I always focused on how beautiful and majestic they are. I feel guilty, but I’m glad you all educated me. Thank you 🙏🏼 ♥️ I’ve recently found your channel and have loved watching every video. I’ve learned so much

Pauly, you need to take care of you too❣️ Course then again I'm learning my Dad was right; "When u get older, if it hurts it works!" Good job All/all Imho, the Amish should not be exempt from State Laws. You're correct, many are good horse owners but many aren't😢❗✌️🇨🇱🇺🇸🐎

[@ponygirl70]

I miss tube worming, after they were tube wormed, those horses would just blossom!

[@SG-vu4qy]

I feel LuLu's left eye can be healed with vigilant care. I have healed many horse eye injuries. I agree with your vet, that is a recent injury. When our mare injured her eye and she got fussy with eye ointment I applied cold pressed castor oil. it heals and takes pain away. Even when only applied to the eye lid. It goes deep into the tissues. In the old days eye doctors applied it.

Too bad I’m so far away. I have a horse that could use a pasture buddy. She’s 24, in great shape. I’ve owned her all her life. Still a great ride with no health issues fortunately.

[@cherylcook6284]

On the subject of Pauly's book. I have read several vet's autobiographies and found them fascinating! I learn something important every time I watch Pauly. When he drives between jobs could he talk into his phone or a tape recorder, then let us fans type it up for him? I don't want to wait until he has time for his book. Also please include tips like waiting for the grass grow to 6 inches to prevent laminitis. People just don't know about these things.

[@debramagliano6672]

The tips would be wonderful, the stories unforgettable.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

So emotional watching this one. These horses are in bad shape and it would seem that the last act of Kindness is going to be given to several of this bunch. Neglect, abuse, pushed to perform without proper feed and care....Ya, I am not pleased with many of the Amish regarding their horses or the ones that are running some of the largest puppy mills in the country. Meanwhile angels like you guys are trying to give a chance to horses whose owners cared little. God bless you all.

[@jillking5876]

You and your vets and farrier are amazingly calm and understanding for these fragile animals. They might be fixable physically, but sometimes emotionally the wounds are much deeper.

Hello from Lecanto Florida

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Hello there!

[@barbaradawnmeyer2013]

Your farrier might appreciate a clean floor to work on; without having to waltz thru debris. Also, it might help him to wash up the horses hooves the night prior and keep them stalled until he arrives. Seems like there are enough helpers around to make his job easier.

[@mlwtennessee322]

Seriously? How very rude of you. I'm sure if and when they need your advice that they'll ask for it. I will never understand why people feel the need to be so nasty online.

[@rosemarygraham2815]

You obviously have no idea how much work is involved in looking after these animals!! They are grateful for the help they get from volunteers and the jobs are endless. So a few little things like not having the floor swept for the farrier just don’t get done and Paulie completely understands and doesn’t expect it!!! It’s a workplace after all!!! Get a life!!!❤❤❤🙌🏻

[@sandralogue1774]

You have obviously never been in stable or near a horse. "Waltzing through debris" as you put it is part of working around horses and stables. Please don't make horribly rude comments concerning things you know nothing about. The rescuers at Pony Tails are the best at what they do,and pretty sure they have things in hand.

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

We cannot keep all of the horses stalled. We have about 5 inside for rehab already and only 10 stalls in total. We typically have 10+ on our list each time he comes out. We keep his area clean for what he needs to get done and sweep after each horse comes through if/when able. Thank you for your input!

[@LadyEnyalus]

@@PonyTalesRefuge Some people seem to think that everything should be clean but they have no idea how much is just normal. I know you do the very best for the horses, I have been in many stables that were far less clean. You keep doing what you are, what is best for the horses.

[@30dayride67]

It would be nice if the Amish would send a couple of guys to shadow with a trained farrier like Pauly and learn how to shoe a horse correctly. Maybe then you wouldn't get so many of their horses with horrible hooves.

[@lauralake7430]

The Amish dont want to learn new things, for the most part. They want to do things the same way they have been done. Most of them dont see anything wrong with how they do things and have no interest in learning from us English and our worldly, sinful ways.

[@s.c.1286]

Hello from Santa Fe, NM

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

Hello there!

[@marieholt9547]

Just a suggestion, maybe you can go to your closest Amish and let them know that you will purchase the horses for an amount,you may be able to keep a few horses away from the auctions. Some Amish have ways of getting ahold of the English.

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

We have talked directly to some Amish before. They typically want as much money as they can get for the horse no matter it's condition and they believe that having them go through the auction is the best way to do that. Especially since the buyers/bidders get little to no hands-on with the horse to notice any problems they are not disclosing.

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

Think Pauly should give a farrier clinic to the Amish. Am sure they want their horses to last as long as possible and if they take better care of their hooves, once they are ready to be replaced, hopefully you won't see so many hoof issues once you guys get them. Just a thought - am sure someone has a contact, even if it's an auction house, right? Hope that helps.

[@eshea3621]

They are choosing NOT to hire a farrier. Pinching pennies costs in the long run wh I'm sure they know. As he said some are good others not so. Rather than a farrier we need a pastor to remind them God gave them stewardship over animals and that includes responsibility and care.

Pauly, you would be disgusted at what the owners did to a mare that I brought from them, along with a half bed colt, the mare was a little over half bred of the breed I am addicted to (Cleveland Bays - partbreds for sporting - Id die fo a couple of pures, but barely a\grainy avvailable here in Aus. They loaned us a vhs video (thats how long ago it was) to show how they got her to raise her feet high for her single and pairs harness and rtdden work. I was mortified to see them along with their farrier when shoeing her put largeish metal car hose clamps under the bottom of the heel or the shoe, up around the coronet band and tighten it up til she was fussy and annoyed about it all. There was NO chance in hell that was EVER happening in our hands. I posted the tape back to them as asked, didnt share it with any other CB or horse people (cos they knew they didnt thr right thing) as requested.... BUT they did not say dont take to RSPCA or rhe Area Animal Control ffor the council. so they got a copy and full report. sorry for typintg being so bad - parkinsons tremors and this hasx taken over when im tired and fjull ot mirgraine.

[@kathleenvadney6217]

I’m am curious because I really don’t know, why aren’t x-rays taken of the hooves as standard of care of every horse as SOP at intake. Are the x-rays with your machine expensive? I honestly don’t know. I know y’all care about the horses you take in so please don’t take this question as criticism.

[@PonyTalesRefuge]

We do not have the manpower and staff to x-ray every horse right as they come in. Once they go through their evaluations and quarantine, we are then better able to narrow down what we may be looking for. It's not so much a cost thing, as it is time and manpower.

[@kathleenvadney6217]
