How anyone could so abuse and neglect that animal is beyond me. Congratulations to world horse rescue for their excellent work.
I love how at the end the guy is talking about how much he's progressed and Mervyn just keeps "smiling" like "yep, that's me!" xD
I wouldn't have thought it was the same horse, what a wonderful job everyone did to save him. I really love to see stories like this, restores your faith in humanity.
You have done a great job, we rescued 2 cobs one was very close to Mervyn condition though with serious intestinal worm infestation, he is now doing well and his friend that came with him. What I don’t understand are the people who dislikes this video, no compassion or understanding of horses.
Beautiful horse why anyone would starve a horse or any animals for that matter is cruel and very disturbing ❤️ Thank you for your kindness and help
He's so cute, like a mini-clydesdale!
When i get bigger i wanna help abused horses/animals
Thank you to the wonderful rescuers and carers of these poor animals--they are the TRUE "A-listers" in our world.
what a brave little pony well done to all that helped to save him he really did deserve to live as he has a happy personality and a strong will to live :)
Mervyn's transformation to health is amazing. No wonder he is smiling at the end!
tahoedewey OMGoodness I agree. I wouldn't have even known that was the same horse. He such a sweetie. It's amazing how animals can be so mistreat by mankind but so forgiving of us. He clearly trusts those wonderful humans around him. Great job to the team.
Every time I watch one of world horse welfare videos, I am so touched and thankful that organizations like this exists. The amazing jobs they do with not only the vet care needed, but also the love and attention given to these fortunate horse's.
It's great to know that WHW will always be there for Mervyn and all the horses this rescue facility cares for and rehomes.
Mervyn has improved immensely in his physical needs and his mental emotional needs.
He looks like he has a great temperament and would love to give him a big hug!
Great work WHW!

Awww - its so touching to watch Mervyn being so cuddly and being so playful and loving the attention, while his condition is evaluated in the "after rehabilitation and treatment" part of the vid, he really just want to cuddle and being scratched and nip and play with the man. SO much trust in humans and so happy. Its amazing after what he has b
Poor baby, thank you for not giving up on him. You can tell he is very happy and grateful for what your organization has done for me. He is very handsome boy now!
Ha Ha!!! What a hoot Mervyn is!!!! He looks so beautiful now. He'll make a wonderful pet for somebody. Just his personality alone would warm anybody's heart. I hope the bastard that did this to him will get what's coming to him or her. I'm so glad that they have stiff penalties for abuse of animals. I think the United States needs to do more in this area. Enough of these people who think they can treat animals any way they feel like. No more.
It's amazing how animals, both big and small, can show unconditional love and trust toward humans after such horrific neglect and abuse. Glad to see a great group of people like you who are willing to put the effort and hard work in to rehabilitating these gorgeous majestic creatures.
What a life, he will be someone’s best friend. Incredible story
Isn't he ADORABLE! He doesn't look old, will he be ridden some day? He'd make a cute little hacking or trail pony. He looks smart and sensitive. What a great thing you've done with him!
Oohhhhh he's an absolute beauty now. God Bless everyone who looked after him and brought him back to good health. ❤❤❤❤
This made me tear up. Amazes me how people are so heartless towards animals. But great job! He looks amazing, and looks very happy, and loved:) Which every horse deserves!
OMG I was wondering if that was the same horse in the background when he was speaking, NIGHT AND DAY difference
Thank all of you for rescueing these poor horses.
Thank you for the beautiful job you did with this majestic horse! Your hard work and dedication is evident! God bless your and your organization! Praise the Lord for He is good 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!
Outstanding effort shown this youngster. He was brought back from his suffering and depression. Thank you for sharing!
🐴😷👍
Aww, he looks like a mini clydesdale! Glad he was saved
It's great to see the improvement in Mervyn. Glad he pulled through, horses are a sacred animal, always been a horse girl.
I can't get over how adorable he is.
Awww...what a cute personality he has! I hope he finds a super nice home where he will be loved....
We dont have horses to be saved really, here in Denmark. We have one center where people who have no further ability to care for their horses, can hand them in and we of course have the national animal welfare authorities, but not many horses (thank god) are in need here. I myself, as a vet by profession, therefore mostly donate and offer free treatment and participate in rescues and several organisations dealing with cats and dogs and some of the projects are with saving animals in other parts of Europe. But I do love to watch these vids and luckily donations are equally valuable even if the come from the Eastern side of the North Sea, to the UK.
AMAZING! I thought it was a different horse! Thank you God for all the vets that help these creatures! We love you! Thank you for the rescue! ♥️🐴♥️
I love how Merlin keeps curling his lips...such a funny little boy...thank you so much for saving his life...the transformation is fantastic to see!
guardian angels, thankyou so much for rescuing Mervyn , he's so beautiful and yes he deserves too be loved over and over again well done Mervyn your an inspiration .]
Wow! Marvin is smiling ❤😊 I'm so happy that he finally get a good life he deserves. Thankful and grateful for these compassionate people to all their patience and effort to save beautiful creatures like this. 😍😍😍
I’m so glad they put the effort in to pull him through. I hate animal abusers
What a fantastic and outstanding organization . You guys did an excellent job with Marvin he looks healthy and happy keep up the great work .

Poor Mervyn!....what a sad, sad condition! How fortunate for him you found him. He's blossomed beautifully because of your love.
Bravo to the care team!!!! Bless you all. He looks phenomenal now. What a beauty.
I'm so happy for Mervyn! What a beautiful pony who's will to live is amazing. Fantastic transformation 💛
Marie-Chantal Douine You're welcome Marie. 💛
Mervyn is such a handsome boy! What a wonderful sight to see him looking so happy and healthy, and his clever personality is showing itself because he is feeling better. What a good boy, and what great work this organization does!
It's so wonderful what this organization does for these beautiful gentle creatures. They do not have the ability to speak for themselves, but thankfully there are people willing to speak for them. Thank you.
Thank you for helping him and all the other horses 🐴👏❤️🏆
Amazing - you wouldn't think he was the same pony!! Well done to all concerned. WHH are definitely deserving of whatever support you can spare.
I found this upsetting. May l ask, how would the pony's paralysis be treated, was he able he urinate, and would he have loss of feeling in his bladder? What became of this beautiful creature. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication.
Poor cutie, he really had it rough. He looked amazing after! Wonder how he's doing now, 6 years later :)
that poor boy! i also rescued my horse. He was bad, but nothing like this. I thought my horse was the worst case i ever saw of emaciated horses. But wow, i am glad Mervyn looks so good now!
Thank you so very much for rescuing Mervin!!! ❤️❤️❤️ love his smiles! Thank you for making Mervin smile!
It is absolutely amazing that a horse in this condition is able to recover in any way! God bless all the people who have enough courage and enough horse love to help horses like him!
it's amazing to see a pony who looked miserable and completely not enjoying life, to the cheeky happy chappy at the end who is obviously now very content. Well done.
Mervyn the Magnificent :-)
It feels great to see that horse smile. Animals no matter what they are should not have to endure such hardships.
He's such a goof ball and if not this video was so old, I'd look for other info on how his further journey to a forever rehoming place went. My guess is that he is somewhere surrounded with humans love and playmates and lots of joy.
I love how he's "Smiling" the entire time now that he's recovered. Good on your WHW!
Marvin is absolutely PRECIOUS with his beautiful smile!!
a happy ending for mervyn. a great effort by the rescue team. very inspiring and wonderful to see. as for the person/s who did this to him, karma will find you.
My heart goes to all abused horses. It realy breaks my heart to see horses suffering. Look at this horse looking so happy and healthy now. ❤🐴
Great job saving Mervyn!! And boy does he look like a card!! Grinning just about the whole time after his recovery. Hes a happy horse!
He's a pretty boy now, and he's a real ham. Thanks for rescuing him.
He´s absolutely adorable.
Thank god for ppl like you who save theese poor animals.
The before and after is amazing. I love seeing the afters on these cases because it's so wonderful to see them healthier and hopefully happier.
I don't mean to sound like a sap, but this just made me cry. You guys do the most amazing work and it makes me so happy to see people in the world like you that care so much about horses and doing the right thing!
What a beautiful pony!!! Horrible how he was treated before he went to those stables. If I saw my horse in that condition, I would be totally furious! Keep up the great work!!!!
LOL awww that's cool Mervyn was smiling XD
They really helped him. He looks wonderful. I hope he receives good care the remainder of his life. He deserves it like he said.
OMG he is gorgeous. how could anybody own this horse and choose not to take care of him. he is so pretty. he looks like a completely different horse. and hes so friendly and curious even after his whole ordeal. that is the picture of an astounding pony. he will make a perfect little companion for a lucky family. Thank you for your dedication to horse rights.
What a fantastic video.His smiles made me laugh out loud! Well done,all of you.Thank goodness people like you are here xxx
Thanks for rescueing this horse. I love horses and I hate when people do this. Thanks again for this! :D I'm glad hes ok now.
Absolutely wonderful video. Restores a lot of faith in humanity.
If I ever win the lottery, this charity is getting a ton of money.
Poor baby. He's such a handsome horse. I'm glad he's safe now.
I can't believe my eyes. It's rare to see a horse undergo a transformation as radical as that. He is just such a GOOD-LOOKING pony!!! In his previous film he looked so sad and dejected and ... it's just impossible to beleive he could change so much. He has wonderful conformation too. I hope you find or found a good home for him.
What a beautiful horse, how people can do this i don't know, horses are so gentle and kind, and this one, this one is a little fighter, hats off to you Mervyn!!!!
Each of you rescue helpers are going to be rewarded by God! Truly , hats off and thank you! Not all of us have the resources to rescue large animals, but I and many others help the stray dogs and cats . I believe if you can rescue one, or two you have a heart and make a difference.
Again, thank each of you!
I'm a new sub
It's just absolutely impossible to see that he's the same horse, isn't it? What an incredible good-looking horse. This video has inspired me to look into volunteering for a horse rescue. Anything I can do...
These people are doing God's work. I love that pony! I loved him before and after the transformation. Beautiful gentle creature, Mervyn❤
"flemen". He like the smell of the man's hands and when his attention. He have a very sweet behavior. All he want is love. That is a very good boy, but he need closes friends.
Beautiful boy Mervyn and wonderful World Horse Welfare.
God Bless All that was involved with his recovery!!! ...HEARTBREAKING!!...How can humans be so cruel? I am so happy that he did make such an awesome recovery!!! ..He is Absolutely Beautiful and deserves the awesome care that each one of you have given him!!...THANK YOU!!
He is such a cutie!!!! I cannot beleive they would do this to such a beautiful horse!!
How can anyone let any animal get into that condition, he is absolutely gorgeous and he looked so sad before, Fantastic work :)
He looks totally different, this is amazing! I hope one day I can work as a vet for an organization like this and help these poor animals
He's so beautiful. You can tell how happy he is just by the way he was interacting with the man. Love it!
So much suffering. Well done to save him from that dreadful state. He is a real champ.
He does not even look like the previous abondened horse! Well done you guys
Cheers to you guys for saving this guy and all the other horses you help! You're truly angels!
Aw, he really loves you. I'm almost sure of it that he appreciates what you've done for him.
This organization, and the people working for it, are truly AMAZING. I wish that there were organizations, like this, for dogs. ❤
Mervyn, you made me laugh when you gave a big smile!!! Very lucky boy... ❤
Such a transformation I wish everyone had the common decency to help horses like this
Well done to all who gave him the care and respect that he deserved. without caring people like this he would more than lightly died in that field
domage qu'il n'y en ait pas plus comme vous, et moins comme eux ... il est magnifique et franchement félicitation !
I rescued a walker from my 'old' riding place, he was nursed back to health and moved to a new home!
what a brave little pony well done to all that helped he deserved to live more than anything as nothing could beat those smiles and strong will to live
He is curious and delightful, this organization will be my go to once my friend Linda finds lands. She hopes to use rehabilitated horses to education mentally challenged non verbal children
I love how the horse looks back at the man when he says he was a shockinly pathetic sight. He was like, "No, me? I have always been a strapping young colt!"
Horses have a great memory. They remember peple being mean to them and the one's that help them for life.
He's such a beautiful horse now when he's clipped and well looked after he really reminds me of my cob
look how appreciative and happy he is at 4.50 i love it when they do that face
I've watched this video before. I think this is my favorite rescue that the World Horse Welfare did. There is something about Mervyn that I like...ah yes I know...the way he likes to smile a lot!
these people are amazing, I wouldn't know where to start...
You are all angles and thank you for looking after him.
