Congrats on the new mare, you’re going to have to dig a hole for her to stand in for 66😉. I wish people would realize that when horses are starved thin you can’t just go toss a ton of feed to them to fatten them up fast. Horses aren’t ruminants and need to be slow fed back up to healthy weight or they can colic or founder bad. You’re doing a great thing bringing in these poor critters, feeding them, and finding them new homes!

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

true about all you said. thank you!

[@ellimae1548]

could not have said it better...maybe the comments come from people who might be following the family and know what they are doing or have no idea about Animal husbandry 🧐

[@philemmerling478]

probably a bunch of tree hugging city people that don't know how to truly take care of farm animals and most times when your farting up a animal is to be butchered Alan and his family are doing what they can for the starving horses

[@kimhoefgen3558]

S0 true. If you had watched this series very long you would have known as long ago. These people are trying to rehab horses. The part that's even sadder is that the Navajo reservation cannot support these animals on their own. They do not have the resources nor the farming equipment to grow your own seed or she could go out and buy it. You think this is really important you might want to donate some good horse feed to the reservation or to the farm on 66.

[@lauratew2945]

Exactly right!

[@hannahwilliams8668]

People don’t realize how fast a horse can loose weight and especially coming off of a reservation that is going through hard times; they aren’t going to be at their full potential. You guys are doing a great job at giving these horses another chance. ❤️

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

so true and thank yoU!

[@pennylane428]

My mamma always said “ advice is best given when asked for.” I’ve been following you since day one and it’s more than apparent you know what you’re doing and have great care for your equine.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

thank you so so much!

[@missinglinklink226]

People who don’t know anything about horses have no idea you can’t just give a starved horse a bucket of feed. It would kill them or atleast founder them. They need to do research before you criticize someone or something you know nothing about. Bless you guys for helping

[@heatherd.9390]

I'm relative new to the channel, so am clearly a bit behind, haha! I love that saying! I've always told my daughter the exact same thing, but in a less eloquently-put way, haha! Not only is advice best given when asked for, but it should therefore be taken with a grain of salt when given to you unsolicited. It tends to be more opinion than true advice. Advice to me is based on experience and knowledge, not feelings and opinion. I'll remember this one, Penny lane. Thanks!

[@elizabethhall8254]

Athletes aren’t fat. They are fit , all muscle. she’s beautiful

[@andreaburke6009]

Horses can lose weight fast but they take a long time to gain I agree with you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

when i read that i thought...i wish that was the way with humans but we are just the opposite. darn! and thank you!

[@Pambo101]

I’m just the opposite! Gain weight fast, and a long time losing it

[@HighDesertHomestead]

It's been my experience of over twenty years in the horse business, training, sales, and, teaching that most of the people that complain about the weight of horses dont have horses and most have never had a horse. Horses are athletes and should be scored on body condition not fat. They are not cattle. Most people over feed and under work their horses. I haven't seen any horses you have or brought to the place in bad enough shape to be worried about. You guys are doing great.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

[@alexbaker2337]

That appaloosa is absolutely beautiful, her color is amazing and she was very friendly and curious.

[@heatherd.9390]

I love her too. She's so unique and stunning!

[@vivianwinford3681]

Don't worry, those of us who understand horses know how hard it is to keep weight on a nursing mare. It can take months to bring a emancipated horse back to proper weight. To feed too much grain would be detrimental to their health. Your doing a great job helping the Navajo people and their livestock.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Thanks so much

[@marciking8052]

Well said

[@FranciscaAVior]

Emaciated.

[@vgil1278]

If the horse is emancipated, ask the horse what it wants. It's in charge of it's own life.

So true!

[@victoriaegan6476]

What a magnificent horse trailer Dolly and Moose get to ride in. Quite a job getting Moose to find his mama. Blake and Casey are the two most responsible high schoolers ever. It was a joy to see them take over for mom and dad. They did an excellent job.
