Raising horses and ponies as a child I've always been amazed by ferriers (we called them blacksmiths). This gentleman really took into account the leg and tendon issues and trimmed accordingly. NOT EASY! Hats off to him and all others in this pony's recovery!
My daughter found a white pony standing in the middle of the road with feet in the same shape she walked her to where we lived ...Called the sheriff and she now lives with us ..with all her medical problems she is being treated well here 🤗🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏it took her almost two weeks for her to walk properly again ..arthritic hips and shoulders, plus joints ,she had been foundered, nobody had claimed her ....
I am so glad Princess Anne was so touched by the pony's sad story that she decided to pay it a royal visit. That shows just how caring and an animal lover she is.
Watching farriers work is so fascinating to me, particularly when they explain what they are doing and why they are doing it. Thank you for helping Haggis!
Guessing poor little Haggis being so obese was because he was in so much pain from his overgrown hooves, he couldn't move around that much! So glad he was rescued!
wow, Princess Anne was listening to his story! Glad to see that his only issue holding him back was his foot/hoof problem, once that was cleared up, of COURSE he could run and exercise all the excess weight. What a good Pony!
I have a reoccurring NIGHTMARE of only being able to walk on my knees - I don't *love* horses like some of my friends do/have - I'm a cat person, (dog person second) - this makes me *weep* - *thank you* to anyone who rescues theses lovely horses and gives them the dignity they deserve
Wild horses natural environment is often rugged terrain and I believe their constant movement looking for food wears down their hoof naturally just a head of natural growth. That's my understanding of it.
He looks so much better now! I have never seen hooves that badly overgrown, that must have been so painful for the poor lil guy! He is such a little cutie, I just want to hug him. I hate that there are people out there neglecting their animals. Thank God for all the amazing, hard working people combating the neglect and saving these wonderful, innocent lives. God bless all of them!
Hello Haggis. We have a Haggis too - from the SSPCA in the spring time, a bit neglected before SSPCA got him. It's very rewarding working with these horses who have had a bad start, seeing them becoming more confident and their little personalities developing. My Haggis will be 2 in the spring time and he's destined for life as a driving pony if he is suited to it, which every indication seems to be that he is. :)
It is so frustrating to think that people can be so cruel and careless to allow something like this to happen. This video of them helping Haggis really did put a smile on my face; it proves that *some* people have a heart and love animals.
After being neglected for so long I would've expected him to pull; I'm surprised @ how easy he is to handle, & how nicely he stands for trimming. What a sweet little pony!
I'm so glad that little sweetheart didn't founder. I saw the thumbnail and my heart sank because I was just sure with hooves that bad he would have laminitis.
So heartwarming! Great honor to meet up with HRH Princess Anne, who does seem to like all horses and not just the top breeds. Delighted Haggis has found a loving owner and great surroundings! Thanks for sharing.
i have two companion horses and surprisingly the youngest is the one behaving the most ;3 theyre so funny to have around and sometimes when small kids are visiting they get a ride around the yard! without companion horses i do not know where i would be today!
It was really interesting to see how his feet were cared for, would have been cool to see the process done for the back feet and then his first steps after the trimming...
I was so upset when I found out about this. we were doing animal rights in our R.S and we were doing charities. I did world horse welfare and I found this story of Haggis. my teacher felt really sorry for him. I'm so glad he's doing better
That clip of his nose/snout at the end made me cry. I love horses and just seeing where he came from to how he is now just shocked me. Thanks to all the people working fro animal rescue organisations and thanks to everyone who adopts one of these poor animals and gives them a chance for a better life.
That is TERRIBLE I freaked out yesterday when I found out one of my horses had hotnail and I thought my rescue gelding had it bad! This poor horse! I am so happy he's getting better
This looks like my pony, Fred that I just rescued. His hooves are also very bad, but the farrier is coming tomorrow to fix my beautiful boy up! Unfortunately we have to tranq him because of the pain.
An addition, Horses in the wild move more intensely and often on a rather sparse diet compares to what domestic horses often get (massive calorie overload leading to obesity). So not only more movement, but also less calories. That, and natural selection pressure for decent hooves.
My first miniature horse, Silver, 34inches in height, had hooves very similar to Haggis'. We had two farriers attempt to trim them down to manageable levels, with disappointing results. Finally, though, we found an excellent Farrier, and within three years , Silver's hooves became comfortable for him. Now, he , and his two companions, get regular (six week routine) hoof care...and are doing very well. Silver also suffered from Founder , and still does occasionaly, so his diet must be managed. He is good now though. It is amazing how fast their hooves will grown.

Oh that poor pony.So glad he is found a new home.🐴🐴🐴🐴💙💙💙🌟🌟🥀
What a beautiful caring person Princess Anne is and Haggis was a gentleman!
I am so glad Princess Anne was so touched by the pony's sad story that she decided to pay it a royal visit. That shows just how caring and an animal lover she is.
Is it just me or did anyone one else find it satisfying when he trimmed the frog
I love seeing farriers at work and making a real difference.
He's adorable and I'm so pleased that he didn't suffer any serious long term effects from neglect.That he was rescued before it was too late.
So glad this cute pony has a good home , now, and is getting the care he deserves
Watching farriers work is so fascinating to me, particularly when they explain what they are doing and why they are doing it. Thank you for helping Haggis!
That farrier was really skilled, and a pleasure to watch.
What a lovely pony. I am so glad his feet are better. Good Boy Haggis!

Aw - wee Haggis 💓 what an amazing farrier!!
I squealed in joy at the end. I never squeal. You guys are awesome.
wow, Princess Anne was listening to his story! Glad to see that his only issue holding him back was his foot/hoof problem, once that was cleared up, of COURSE he could run and exercise all the excess weight. What a good Pony!
How great you are to do this for this neglected pony.

What a sweet nature Haggis has!
what a cute pony!
God bless this little guy. Thanks to all who are helping with his recovery.
i loved the way the farrier said foot omg
Love this Farrier. So smart and caring. Poor Haggis. . So glad he is in a new, caring, forever home.
Did anyone else's feet ache in sympathy when they watched this? Mine did!
Fico imensamente feliz de ver pessoas que se dedicam de coração por todos os animais
He looks so much better now! I have never seen hooves that badly overgrown, that must have been so painful for the poor lil guy! He is such a little cutie, I just want to hug him.

Haggis was a chunk for sure but with those painful feet I'm sure he didn't walk much. He is such a fine boy and I'm glad he has a loving home.
The farrier and the vet are amazing!
So heartwarming! Great honor to meet up with HRH Princess Anne, who does seem to like all horses and not just the top breeds. Delighted Haggis has found a loving owner and great surroundings! Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely girl taking on little Haggis. She clearly loves him to bits.
Hurray For Haggis, his Farrier and all his Carers !
I"ve never seen hooves so long, poor wee Haggis :(
he's such a pretty little pony. Glad he's in a good home now
One of the most competent farriers I've seen. Very nice job
this gives me a deeper appreciation for professional farriers
I like the fact that the people ALWAYS have a helmet on. Really good.
Omg, seeing the Ferrier trim the hooves back is so satisfying,
aw he's lovely bless him
thx for rescuing him xxx
i have two companion horses and surprisingly the youngest is the one behaving the most ;3 theyre so funny to have around and sometimes when small kids are visiting they get a ride around the yard! without companion horses i do not know where i would be today!
Thank you and God bless you for caring for this beautiful little guy.

Poor horse!!!! So glad that that people care about horses. His feet looked very sore and painful. He looks so much better
Thank you for sharing!
What a awesome farrier!
This made me tear up. I am so glad these horses get a second chance at life and are able to feel loved and cared for.
Oh,this poor,poor pony!I'm so glad,that you rescued him, he is so lovely!
You are a Angel, and now Haggis feet will get better, and it's all down to you and your caring work ,.
god poor haggis men my feet hurt when i see that :( poor thing luckely he got a great new home :) and the love and care he needs.
He's absolutely gorgeous!!
That is TERRIBLE I freaked out yesterday when I found out one of my horses had hotnail and I thought my rescue gelding had it bad! This poor horse! I am so happy he's getting better
That was actually some major ASMR watching the farrier trim his hoof.
aww poor little boy, good on you for saving him!!!
thriving
💕Wonderful 💕Thanks for helping Haggis.
i love this girl she is nice
i love horses and I am soo sad that he got neglected.
5:00 is the man I need in the morning to look at me and just with that exact voice tell me "You're grossly overweight" and I think I'd lose the weight
so cute
Haggis, what an adorable name for an adorably chubby pony!
I don't know why but seeing hooves cleaned up is really satisfying to me
omg that ferrier was AMAZING! I thought those hooves were going to take months! he did it in 1 visit!
what a well mannered pony. I would be kicking and screaming if I had hooves and they were that long. Poor thing!
Not really it would be very difficult and painful for him to kick in those circumstances and hard to walk or move at all really
HAGGIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!
thanks to this people
Love the way he said Grrrroosly
His little face it's adorable
im glad you gave him a good home .. ☺
Love watching (and listening to!) farriers working - caring, knowledgeable pros, mix of mechanic, artisan, medic, sculptor, mani-pedicurist :) - wonderful specialists.
Wonderful effort to correct the issues.😷👍
WHW are doing a fantastic job.
This looks like my pony, Fred that I just rescued. His hooves are also very bad, but the farrier is coming tomorrow to fix my beautiful boy up! Unfortunately we have to tranq him because of the pain.
He's adorable omggg how can anyone do anything to hurt horses!!!????
The pony and the farrier are offensively Scottish in a very charming way, Nice job.
Beergut or not, farriers are the sexiest guys in the world! - Kind, caring, strong...... *swoon! thud!*

Is your Silver a silver bay? Our mini is similar in size, and his name is Silver too. Glad your Silver is doing much better.
hes so adorable
Those feet must of hurt for him and I am glad he got that fix
Thank you 💜
Very good job done,, appreciable,, love you guys
When we bought my horse her feet were overgrown a BIT. But this was insane! How could the owner let his hooves get THIS bad?!!
OMG! Poor thing. All 4 of his legs and hooves must be in excruciating pain. Thank you for helping him.
Oh my gosh! Totally agree!!!
aww! now I want a Haggis!!!
Wow. Haggis looks amazing now!
