I truly wish that this program was something more available all over the United States and I wish people would be able to take advantage of this instead of sending these poor old old horses to auctions instead of just putting them down happily peacefully and not sending them through hell in their golden years. I really love this
Beautiful said. 🙏🏻
That would be better left the beautiful horses 🐎 rest 💔 in peace angels why's make the oldest old hurtful horses 🐎 suffering 😢 💔 why's for God's sake just putting them beautiful 🐎 🐴 🎠 too rest 💙 is better God's blessing beautiful horses 🐎 life's matter 😇
There's now a full circle of life within a day's drive in the USA. Took Horse Plus 4 years to make it happen, but they did it. Contact Pony tales or horse Plus to find out if needed. Hope that helps.
Bless the owners of the mustangs for reaching out for help, end of life with love and compassion is what we all want.
Sometimes the only right thing to do is accept that it’s time for them to go, peacefully and quietly at home.
Agreed! And please don't be selfish by keeping them in constant pain just because you don't want to let them go! Love on them as much as need to, then take them to the vet or as this person and I agree, cuddle them while the vet does their job. Also, I learned this the hard way and am scared for life!!! Pay for extra drugs that get them very stoned before the final injection, you'll have less pain from having to let them go this way as you will know they did not feel a thing.
Last act of kindness at their home is BEST
This teenage girls hat a hard decision to make and was braver and more responsible than many adults. She decided to do what is best for the Animals and not for herself. I know it is Hard, but it is the right thing.
Thank you so much for helping out those two senior horses and their family. At least they were put down at home with the people they loved that was great that you guys did. Thank you so much.❤
Legend has it, Paulie is still trying to pull Daphne's shoe.
Letting the end come with grace and dignity is one of the kindest things that can be done for any living thing.
I wish it would be recognized in the states.
When a person's quality of life is so low due to age and medical issues... If it were me, I would like the ability to at least be given the option to consider a "last act of kindness".
End-of-life care is care. Respecting life and quality of life is important. You're doing a wonderful and merciful service.
Your new program idea is a very good idea. You are thinking of the horse’s best interests and being their horse angels ❤
Sometimes the best rescue is the last act of kindness
This is where reality has to trump the fantasy of living forever after in a strange new place that they can’t understand. Kindness and straightforward thinking facing reality. Glad you’re there to help.
What you did for the owners was by far the best option available for those two horses. It was the kindest thing that could be done. If there is anyone who thinks you were wrong for ending their lives, at their own homes, then they are the ones who are wrong. I commend you for helping them to go to greener pastures in the most humane way possible. Thank you.
This is by far the kindest thing for them. I hope others can understand this. well done, Cindy!
What fantastic owners and so responsible too, that poor little grey with all the cancers, just bless you for providing this service, incredibly brilliant idea, " end of life " with no fear, stress or pain xxx
This is a good way to help out end of life horses AND their people. Sort of a hospice for horses, even though it includes euthanasia. But much easier on the animals, as you’ve said and helping people to own their responsibilities or help families handle their deceased relatives’ aged horses.
Excellent end of life decision making here.
I agree 100% you did the right thing for the older horses. To go to greener pastures with the people who loved them by their side
This is a program that needs to be in place world wide . Fantastic option ❤❤❤❤❤
Cindy total respect for this new program. You are a full circle of life shelter and sadly some horses just aren't going to thrive, so giving them a quiet send off is perfect. Poor Pauly getting thrown around by Daphnie, she's normally so good! Hope that everyone is okay after that and the stock isn't too badly damaged. Pauly has nothing but my complete respect
The owners did the right option for these horses... and thank you for being able to help the owners 🙏 God bless
An excellent new program....that definitely deserves praise. Much gratitude to everybody at Pony Tales.....for all the great work!
Thank you!!
I’m so glad you are giving people a option to make the right decision. It’s called being responsible, something many of your rescue horses owners haven’t done. Thank you for helping people do the responsible decision.
So many thanks to the family who made the right decision 100%,!
Even if the younger horse didn't have melanoma, it would have been the right thing to do!
Blessings to this family, may more people learn from your decision!
This is a great program, wish more places would offer this, maybe there wouldn't be so many horses at auction and or surrendered!
That's what Horse Plus Humane Society is trying to do by mentoring programs like Pony Tails. In fact they were the first winners of the Horse Shelter Heroes, that's how I discovered Pony Tails and now they help mentor other rescuers. A nation wide circle of life shelter network.
I think the new program is an excellent idea, instead of trying to cart these elderly horses away from homes they've known for so long you allow them to gently drift away in the comfort of their own home. No stress of a new place filled with new horses, sights, and sounds. Plus these horses often have very age related health problems such as arthritis and lack if teeth.
Daphne, what the heck was your problem?! It's crazy that she just suddenly decided "I want to be a massive problem," especially when she's clearly not had any reaction like that before.
I hope this program catches on as well. Seems like end of life care is very hard for a lot of horse owners . And this is what full circle of life rescue is about! Thank you for helping these owners do the kindest thing for their animals ❤
The Last act is a lindness most humans dont get tp choose for humans that we wish we cpuld grant for loved ones... to atbleast help our animals is a blessing. It sounds wonderful, to not have to be scared and someplace you dont know surrounded by different poeple when you take your last breath. It is the best for them. Under these circumstances.
Cindy I feel your pain! 😢 Omg what a great program you came up to help older injured or sick horses die with dignity at home! That has always been a heartbreaker for me to see horses being surrendered or at auction because they’re old!! 😢😢 so much respect for y’all!! Pauly you rock! 😊
100% the right thing to do! Respect!
I can't wait for this. I have such a respect for you guy's thank you so much for all you do for these beautiful horses and all the work y'all put in to saving hundreds and hundreds of horses yalls work never ends. Thank you for being a voice for them. You guys are simply amazing ❤ keep doing what you're doing you are making a great difference in the life of the horses one life at time ❤
Thank you for helping...I wish more people did the right thing...not the sales barn
God bless you for putting the horses first and considering their fears and feelings above fan feelings. If these people are so outraged at how you handled this, then they can get off their high horses and take responsibility for these babies instead of just bellyaching and being rude.
sometimes the last act of kindness is the best thing to be done. They will have a peaceful passing with the smallest amount as stress possible.
I think that is SUCH a good project. The best way to go. At home and at peace. Well, well done. Daphne took the bakery there!
The Program you mentioned in the beginning of the video is simply the right thing to do. Its emotional but necessary.
We've had to do this with 3 of our " Senior" pets. Its not easy, but its dignified and peaceful. Thats the last act of compassion we show our old friends.😢
Being a caregiver for elderly in their home, I understand completely what your goal is for the horses. You are right it is hard but it is the right thing to do.
This compassionate end of life program is SO much better for the horses. To go peacefully at home, in their own place, surrounded by all they know and love. This is just the best possible end for them.
"Well you're a rescue, you're supposed to save these horses." This IS saving these horses! This is ABSOLUTELY SAVING THESE HORSES. 💙
Daphne, WTF?!!! Congrats on getting her extricated. Yikes! Pauly is my hero.
Hospice care for horses!
I wish more people could take advantage of a program like this. It’s greatly needed.
What a great service you are offering to these horses and their owners. Thank you for all you do for the horses.
BRAVO, THANK YOU FOR GIVING THESE HORSES THEIR LAST ACT OF KINDNESS
What a lovely way of giving them a good end of life ,no fuss for the horses, a lot kinder as you say.
I've owned horses for 40 years and I have to say, what a great service this is. Thank You for all you do.
I’m so glad you offer this service, this is so much better for the horse and the owner, it’s the absolute night of a compassionate solution ❤😢
For those who do not know it is called "Pining". They love their owners so much that when taken from them, they would rather die than be without them. This part is only my opinion, I believe they also suffer from the emotion "betrayal", just as you or I would feel when dumped! I am not guilt free from this myself and pay the price daily from years back because of it when I did not understand!
They were shown the ultimate kindness. My heart hurts for you.
This is better for these old horses to be given the last act of kindness with their first owners and they will not be in pain or sold or abused
The worst coward is an animal owner who doesn't have the courage to put their animal down when its time. Instead they shove that duty onto someone else so they don't have to see it. JMHO.
Oh damn, Daphne really needs some solid ground work, she is so used in walking all over you that she doesn't care anymore.
But I am glad she didn't panic much more when she got stuck, after she noticed she can't get out she was like: Okay! I got me in that mess.... now you there get me out...
Could have been much worse if she panicked in that situation and got herself and you guys hurt. But yeah, she really needs halter training, especially not just walking right through people all the time or somebody will end up getting seriously hurt at one point.
Hope the best with the lovely fur friends
I think this is an awesome idea - full circle of life - I pray for all because it's never an easy decision to make - keep supporting horse heroes- much love from Texas 🌹💖🌹
Great program to keep horses at home for end of life. You made the right decision with those two
You should name the new program hospice help for horses
Hope u see this comment
Great idea Andrea. ❤
Horse home and hospice!
You did right by Misty & Queenie, as did their family. That a decision is painful does not make it wrong.
Thank you for giving the mustangs a dignified peaceful trip over the rainbow....
That is the best plan I’ve ever heard! Great plan!
Beautifully said, Cindy I absolutely love that you are offering this gentle service and giving these beautiful souls a soft landing at home. No stress to the horses and emotional support for the owners. By doing this you are teaching by example, true compassion and responsibility to other horse owners too. Bless your hearts, you really are incredible human beings.
This is a great service for Pony Tales to be able to offer.. l don't understand some owners when they have an old horse who is just not in good condition and has medical issues..what do they think you can do.? You're not miracle workers..and think of the stress on the horse..loaded on a trailer to somewhere they don't know with strangers no matter how loving you are..l think this is a great service Cindy .. its not that you don't want to rescue them..these two horses were past rescue health wise..just look at those cancerous growths on Queenie..they were bad and she was the younger horse..!
My goodness gracious what an eventful episode..!! Halo is in so much pain bless her..l hope something cam be done..Molly..well Pauly got her feet in good condition then the new owners ignored his advice on her shoes and she has had to go through all this again..!! THEN..OH MY LORD..was it Daphne ?.. l didn't think you were going to get her out of those stocks !! Ive never heard so many bleeps from Pauly..!! Even when he comes across stupid stuff..that was absolutely frightening..!! That poor draft..got a pinched nerve from an ill fitting harness..these people just dont give a 💩 do they..!! .. I hope rest helps him and he can be lightly ridden..like kids..that would be idea as like most drafts..they're just so damn gentle..a 48 minute episode..l say YAY..bring it on..more please 😂 great that Molly and Happy are adopted together and that surrendered Penny is ok..🇬🇧💕✝️🙏👍👏🌈🐎🐎🐎🇺🇸
Great job girls and guys! Pauly is one tough cookie.❤️🙏
What a great program to keep older horses at home. I hope it goes well. Daphne sure got herself in a pickle. Glad no horse or human was injured.
Yes, it's a thankless decision to have to put an old and sick beloved pet down but their end needs to have their family with them at that time. I was with all of our dogs at their end. They breathed their last breath out and I breathed their last breath in. They knew they were loved and safe in the end. It hurts, a LOT but I HAD to be with them. I hugged them, told them how much we loved them. No matter how much time goes by I never forget their last minutes and seeing them calm and trusting while they go.
Oh Cindy, this is such a great program. Im sure many families feel like they dont know how to deal with old horse's. God bless all those families getting help!!
It's a wonderful thing you are doing.
They won't be mistreated this way. 😢😢😢😢 They will be free and with each other.
What a creative, kind idea.
I think this program for the old horses is truly the best decision. If these horses end up on greener pastures anyway, but with added stress and suffering if you had to take them in first, then it is way more humane to put them down. I can totally understand the owners not wanting their beloved pets to pass away, but it is not worth the added suffering. I cannot stand the kind of animal owners who keep making their animal survive as long as possible, when the whole way till the end the animal just suffers more and more. I have lost beloved pets before, and I know how hard it is, but at some point it is just more cruel to keep the animal suffering.
This new option shows the incredible strength of Midwesterners.
Thanks for the video, the intro to the new program was lengthy and I know why you tried to explain everything to the last detail, It's The Right Thing To Do. Many people have no idea how to close that door even though it has to be done, and should be when they need it. Good and solid plan.
A hard but necessary thing. So much better than the alternative. Thank you
Absolutely think this program is both humane to the animals and owners. Not all horses can be resued, as we all know. Better that they are at home at the end. Don't we wish that for ourselves, also? Bless you all for the care you give Gods creatures.
It's never easy but the last act of kindness is the best way when it is needed
So appreciative your rescue is able to offer this option, when appropriate. THAT is truly an act of love, care and all-encompassing responsibility.
Had to put my 28 yr old Belgian mare down last March. She was a PMU survivor I adopted at 12 yrs old and paid for by the pound!
Thankfully, a neighbor provided a backhoe to properly bury her here on my farm after my vet gently put her down. She was starting to have difficulty keeping good body condition and pain-free from arthritis, despite supplements, pain meds, etc. The cost of the euthanasia drugs was over 2x for a light horse. I was barely able to cover that sudden cost. The backhoe service was gifted to me and made it possible to spare her being trailered anywhere.
She nickered to me as I approached with her halter and calmly stood while she was first sedated, then euthanized. She will never be forgotten, nor will the wonderful vet & neighbor who helped me care for her that one last time. Forever loved.
I'm truly sorry for your loss..but you are obviously a good and loving horse 🐎 owner..who made that hard but right decision to give your beautiful horse the last act of kindness..and you were there so not in a strange place with strange and new people or sent into the slaughter pipeline to make a last bit of money..!! I just wish there were more responsible owners like you.. Cindy offering this service..and IT IS a service..that the horse cam be in their home..with their owner..no extra stress of loading into a trailer..the travel..getting out somewhere new..all of that is extra stress..you not being there..this is the right way to do it..and it would have been the same result if Pony Tales had taken them in..the 35 yr old was in poor body condition and look at the cancer in the 28 yr old Queenie..that was bad. MUCH BETTER this way..still so sad..broke me seeing the young lady hugging them..but gosh the best way to cross over the 🌈 bridge..peacefully..they can run free together again..🇬🇧💕✝️🙏👍👏🐎🐎🇺🇸
Beautiful story ❤
I wish more horse owners would make this decision instead of hauling them to an auction. I pray your new program works out well!
Helping people euthanize their horses is a fantastic service that you are going to provide. I could see it was difficult for you and I'm sure it was for the owners. It's so sad. 🌹🌹
What in the world has gotten into Daphne?! I hope Paulie is ok.
Thanx for the Rainbow Bridge @ Home thing youre doing.
She was a one mare rodeo😢
A hard decision, but the final act of kindness as owners we have the privilege of being able to ease suffering. Thank you Pony Tales. X
Just by watching this video, was very heartbreaking! Anytime you see something like this, it always brings tears to my eyes! And you are absolutely right,by putting the animals first helping this to go down w/ less stress as possible!😢😢😢
I think you did the right thing with those two mustangs. I know y'all have to make hard decisions, but that was the right one. I think your new program is a good one.
The hardest choice but the right one. Thank you for being willing to make it and sparing them the fear at the end
I understand fully where your coming from ty Cindy for explaining this to others. Yes it's an amazing gift you give to these last dear ladies. It's never easy to loose a pet,even harder when their your own pets !! It's sad they left their only place, yet they never had to leave and be transported to another place as well.
Thank you for saying what you said - so many animals need this act of kindness - if only people understood the emotional trauma senior or sickly animals suffer - more animals would not be left at shelters, passed to someone else or just dumped. There are cases that people have literally dumped their old or sickly horse - excellent video
I have nothing but admiration and respect for all of you. Giving horses the option of passing peacefully from their long term homes is such a gift.
Thank God for recuse beautiful horses 🐎 let's go rest in peace angels 💔 😇 🙏 God's people's lives were lives at a time rest in peace 🙏 angel
You are doing right!! It's the responsible thing to do. Glad you are offering this service. Wow, what with happened to Pauly? Is he okay?
Excellent option, well done and the very best for the option for many horses. Thank you for being so caring and kind.
You handled this end of life service in such a good way. The photos conveyed the sadness and compassion of the owners.
Not the first farrier I ever heard say they hate glue ones. Every single farrier I've ever worked with hates them. Lol
People don't understand that part of stewardship of this world is that we must also know when it's time to help a soul move on to their afterlife with dignity respect and compassion. It's difficult, but it is best that they know a good life and then a painless end than to suffer and slowly degrade. We owe them far more than that sort of life.
People don't realize that animals love & have feelings too
Awesome Ladies💪🇺🇸✌👍❤😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this video. ❤❤❤❤❤, Good luck with your new endeavor 🎉.
I love that you are able/willing to go help horses cross over at home. Such a big difference for them at the end of their life to be where they have lived and been loved and go together.
Also, I LOVE the whistle for Pauly's slips. . . he's so dramatic. Hope his back is going to be ok. Silly Daphne. Love this episode.
Just a suggestion
When holding a horse for the farrier, slightly turn the head towards the side the farrier is doing. Plus, if the horse was going to act up, you were already in the correct position to move the horse away.
Also, I appreciate the fact that you guys know when to put a horse down . Not many will do this ..
I have never heard Pauly swear so much! Wow! Daphne did a number on Pauly! It is not easy being a farrier when you have to deal with troublesome horses! I admire Pauly for doing what he does!
Thanks for guiding people through the right choice, however painful it must be. I'm making a very modest donation; use for whatever you need, but know that it was this sad story that spurred me to give.
Knowing they are together at the "bridge" with no stress, pain, or fear brings me peace. It took a lot of strength to make that decision to set them free. As always, you have the horses best interests at heart.
It is very difficult to do, but there is a point when they're suffering and that suffering will continue, often getting worse until the end comes naturally. You have to ask yourself if you keep putting them through the pain for their sake or your own and be honest. I think sometimes the owner just needs some reassurance that it is the right thing to do because it can be extremely difficult to know where to draw the line. Many people underestimate or even deny that animals have emotions like grief, but they do. They might not show it in ways that we recognize, but it's there. I've taken in older horses that had lost their lifelong pasture mate that would never bond with another horse and some just seemed to give up completely.
For respect and dignity, full marks! Filming was definitely not the thing to do. Thank you and Dr Kristen for being these horses’ best refuge in the face of unnecessary upheaval and chaos. Good for the family making the unselfish choice!❤️❤️
That’s a beautiful program well done
You all are awesome. Thank you for keeping it real.
Love you always hugs and kisses 💋 to all of you, you did the right thing, I've put down 5 horses over the years and they are all buried here on my home place, 2 were in their thirties and the other 3 were for different health reasons, so as hard as it is, you did the right thing , love your videos as always! Lynn 76 in Missouri ❤❤
