- With two team members trapped in icy, snowy roads states away from the shelter, the remaining Horse Shelter Heroes had to plan for the auction rescue and intake without them. The auction was a huge success with 19 precious lives being rescued from the slaughter pipeline!
A rescued horse purchased in the parking lot had the worst broken leg you have ever seen. The old injury was just heartbreaking to see, and the x-rays were worse.

By euthanizing the horses, you’re allowing them to know kindness and a loving hand, rather than going down in slaughter truck to be trampled. Thank you for not hesitating to put them down.
Your vet is fantastic!
Your right
At least these horses can go in a place surrounded by people who love and care for them and they can know peace.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐴🐴🐴
I have an ingrained habit of using the term euthanasia rather than “ putting him/ her down “. Euthanasia translates to “ peaceful death”. It helps me to cope...
Anybody who bashes you for euthanizing severely injured, suffering horses, has never had to deal with one. The right thing to do isn't always easy -- but it's always right. Keep on doing the right thing.
Don’t get angry at the rescue that picked up the pieces. Get angry at the owners who instead of keeping that animal or ending their suffering dumped them at auction.
Amen

@Karen Bailey some people in the comments are saying they put too many of the horses down.
Right!!!!!!!!!!1
@Karen Bailey yeah I think people see it as you rescue them just to kill them. Rather then this poor animal was suffering and would have suffered more still. It’s kinder to say goodbye then ignore a animal because you know you can’t do much else for him/her. They do an amazing job at least most of us appreciate that 💗
May Doc live forever and stay the gentle soul that He is ❣️
I bought a 5yo half-broken starved buckskin filly who was going to go to slaughter the next day. She came off the float head shy, starving, beaten and terrified and nearly 4 months later and I can put her halter on in her paddock and ride her up to the gate bareback with no issues. She has so much potential and after a little farrier care she is completely sound and the sweetest thing ever. The work you guys are doing is incredible and as I told my dad when he was trying to talk me out of it "it doesn't change the world. but it changes the world for the horse" which is so incredibly true. Thank you for doing what you do.
Loved your comment 💚.
By sharing what you have done you may just change the world ?! evey little about counts 😘.
@@kathygilmartin6897 Thank you ❤
It changed the world for the Horse... Wow
Changing one animals life at a time 🥰
Thank you for what you did by buying that filly. What you did makes you a horse Hero too.
Over breeding.. no restrictions, people who cannot afford a horse... lots of issues. The horses deserve the kind of care they are getting from you guys and you guys deserve major thanks and blessings❤️
No such thing. What we have is a lack of responsible owners, rather than too many horses.
@@Pro3110
No, there is definitely and overabundance of horses in some areas due to ignorance and possibly denial.
They don't only have yo have ONE reason for why this is true. It can be both reasons.
anyone who wants to keep alive a suffering animal is the true abuser. You make such a good point; so many rescues will only take the potentially adoptable horses! Although ANY sort of rescue is admirable, you guys are extremely special in the fact that you take many non-adoptable horses from slaughter, even if it is just to give them a warm place with love for only a day. Probably the best day of their life. Massive amount of respect ♥️
That’s what rescue shelters do.. they keep suffering animals alive to see if they can help them, if they aren’t able to help them then they put them down.
@@harveyshmarvey is
@@mariaadamez8813 what? Hun I don’t own a horse, I just ride them. And keeping a suffering animal alive is only to try and end their suffering, by medicine and using casts for broken bones, etc.
@@xyz12345457 Im guessing you meant this to be a comment and not a reply to me? Im confused about the context and how it pertains to my comment 😅
Yes
no one is talking about how great of a person doc is, i love his personality and seeing him in the videos is something i always look forward to! such a great vet, especially since he ordered pizza for everyone!!
Hayley you are absolutely right. This organization is AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL for all they do Thank you for helping all the horses in need of true tender loving care. You all are wonderful people. The donations are so wonderful!
I absolutely love what you guys do I spent greater part of my life doing the same in West Virginia I now live in Tennessee see and don't have the opportunity to be involved So I just wanna honestly tell you every video I watch I'm always crying it puts me back to all the great memories of being with them
There is an old saying "No hoof, no horse" Sad but true that most of this could be avoided by regular care. The owners should be prosecuted. Thanks to Horse Plus these horses no longer have to suffer.
So true. I'm honestly baffled by the number of random people commenters have argued with because this person INSISTED that Horse Plus was basically bad for euthenizing unfixable cases. They claim things like being able to heal insane breaks and hoof problems that not even a magician could fix.
It's just sad how woefully uneducated people are, yet they feel they're qualified to make these kinds of claims.
I honestly kind of wish the US forced people to take a horse care coarse to get horses. They require such important care and even the smallest issue with certain things could ruin them....
May God bless all of you for saving as many of his beautiful creatures as you can. 💜💜💜
How can people do that to those precious animals? Put them down if they have that bad of an injury and no hope of getting better. My heart breaks for them to be in that much pain.
I sob when I see the condition of some of these horses. Heartbreaking. It takes a lot of love for these rescuers to be able to provide the horses relief when they are suffering.
I agree 👍. It was heartbreaking for me to put my girl down but at 30-35 years old and having someone throw triple washed oats where she could get them twisted her gut. Dr said she didn't have a very good chance to even survive the surgery at her age.
Even though non of these horses were mine I still have tears in my eyes... How could anyone harm or let the horses suffer? They deserve better than that and we humans are constantly failing in appreciating animals' lives.
Thank you beautiful souls for letting the horses know they were loved at their last minutes and for letting them go in peace by the last act of kindness, so they can canter on the eternal green pastures. I am so thankful that you understand the hard choices and don't hesitate to end the suffering for these beautiful creatures. Bless all of you
It's rediculous that you get grief because you clean up others people's messes. You that the time, effort, money and emotional toll to do the right thing.....you should be thanked and supported not attacked.
Life isn't always fair, sweet or easy. You can only do the best you can for those you can help.
Keep up the good work.
katmandu Dawn: you know why they attack these people because the people who attack these people DON"T HAVE THE BALLS THEY ARE COWARDS and like to think they are big and bad and go after them who rescue horses from auction.
I love horses I would die for one I no my mom would never get us one it is a little expensive I am only 8 and i am saving my money
I have a lot but i need more I don't have a horse but the owner worked hard for that horse they should be happy with it and if you don't agree in am fine but this is my only time to show I LOVE HORSES IF you don't like horses I don't no who you are I LOVE HORSES I PRAY EVERY NIGHT saying I need a horse in my life please if you do not want t your horse think about sending it to me please I will take good care of your horse PLEASE I love horses
@@muscovyduckchickenbreeder2656 It is not "A lack of balls and being cowards"People see different aspects and have their own opinions.
Thank you doing this service to so many who deserved so much more.
Thank you for saving the sick/injured ones too. They deserve a final kindness the most. There are moments now and again that I hate people. Humans are the cruelest of all. And then there’s people like you, you give me hope. Thank you.
Horse rescue is not what you folks do, its who you folks are. Not many people in this world can say that their lives make a difference to others, but you all make each and every one of these horses lives better. Period. As far as Doc is concerned... if he ever comes up for adoption... we have a spot in my barn for him!!! Stay dry and warm! Love from Massachusetts
Lol
You have the best group of people working together,amazing and incredible for the horses!
That poor mini it breaks my heart that people let it get this far
Doc is so precious. The world needs more vets like him!
patricia here--- thank you for saving the ones you could and giving mercy to those who needed it... loves to all
I would love to see Animal Planet pick you guys up for a new show. The work you guys do is amazing and incredibly admirable. If yall got a following that big, it could help others see the cruelty that can occur, but how people can help change the narrative.
I 100% agree that @animalplanet should put them on TV. Their message could reach so many more people and might help get the big lick shut down.
Thank you for taking care of the most pitiful of the lot, and not just allowing them to be shipped to Mexico for slaughter! They've suffered enough, and I appreciate that you believe that too! Your Doc is the BEST!
Doc is the cutest! i love him, hes so kind and careing. the horses are in great hands as always
Thank you for all the wonderful love and kindness you show these beautiful beings! It's a cruel world but we can't give up, everything counts!!! Love you animal heroes!!!
Damn, that mustang was one tough old guy to have actually survived long enough to "heal" that leg. But he is happy you did the last good thing anyone could do for him. Not sure what's worse, coward owners that can't do right by their horses and have the guts to be there to say goodbye when they send them to the Sky Pasture, instead putting them through the stress and pain of actually traveling in such condition, or the ones who just don't care about tossing a horse away.
I haven't read all the comments, but have seen nothing but positive and support for the soul-wrenching service you provide these horses. Yours is yet another place I would gladly support if I could.
@@lottiedotty8262 I also wondered at first if he could have lived on at the rescue, but I thought a lot about it before commenting, and even though he was managing to get around on that leg, we aren't living in his body and have no idea how humidity or extreme cold weather etc. would pain him. I am in near constant pain in various joints so am always wondering how arthritic or otherwise compromised animals are feeling when it's humid or frigid. We may have been seeing him on a not-so-bad day. And we all know how prey animals, and probably mustangs especially, try to hide any weakness or vulnerability. I did feel bad that he'd made it that far only to be put down, but it probably wouldn't have been long before he started to go downhill just due to his age. And these people do have limited resources. They gave him his dignity and a peaceful end.
So much love and appreciation being sent to all of those horses and your team… the mustang especially in this video just busted my heart into a million pieces.. and that sweet mini. I can’t imagine how hard it is to make the decision that these irresponsible, heartless owners could not make.
I have to say this week's video made me cry. It hurt my heart the see how bad some of these sweet horses were suffering😢 Thank you for sending their pain and suffering.
I just can’t understand why people let horses get into this state. It breaks my heart. I’ve owned my horse for 18 years she is now 26, has cushings and arthritis in her hocks but I would never put her through the hell of going through a sale. It’s a shame the auctions don’t have a standard that horses have to be in to go through. You guys do an amazing job, ignore all the keyboard warriors! Much love from the uk xx
Same. I have a 23 year old mare that I just paid a bunch of money so she could move across the country with me in as much comfort as possible. I can't imagine sending her to slaughter.
I had my mare till she was 30 yrs old. She died of old age but she never suffered. She was good one day and was dead the next. She died in her sleep but I didn't even know I was going to lose her. Her heart probably gave out. She knew she was loved though.💞💞💞
I have a 25 year old Arab and a 31 year old rescue Welsh pony. I put my younger Arab to sleep at the end of Feb this year aged 24! I keep my babies for life, I knew this when I got them. They’re not disposable items! I had my younger Arab for 20 years. I would never send them to auction, I no longer ride them but they are my pets my friend and my family. We look after each other 💖❤️
My mare was in her mid 30's when we made the decision to let her go. She had serious arthritis and had started to have trouble getting up. I really don't get how people can just throw their horses away to an aution. I could never have done that to my girl. This rescue does a great thing saving these horses from further pain and doing what their owners should have done.
You are so courageous & filled with compassion. I'm grateful you relieve these horses and pony's from the stresses of the auction/slaughter pipeline. Fair Play to you all.
I so love and admire people with money who spend it saving and caring for others who need help. In some cases it's horses and in some cases it's cats and dogs and sometimes exotic wildlife.
You had some stunning horses in that rescue, I just can’t understand why people wouldn’t want to look after them. I’ve always wanted horses all my life but have never got one because I know I can’t afford to have one and give it the best life I could. Thank you horse angels and doc for what you do for the horses. 👍🏻😊🇬🇧
You’re doing the right thing. I’ve done the same for my animals over the years and it’s the easiest, hard decisions I’ve made. To leave them alive and suffering would be much, much more than I could bear. What an amazing Doc you have for these beautiful animals!! The world needs more caring people like this and there are so many humans that don’t deserve animals.
What a veterinarian with a huge heart
Thank you so much Diane.
The newly-gelded sorrel is a handsome boy. Please keep up this great (if emotionally difficult at times) work! The gray has a nice head.
Doc reminds me a lot of my grandpa who always jokes around and sees the good things in bad situations!
It’s amazing the horse w/ broken foot is alive.🐴
Last act of kindness is the hardest thing an animal owner can do. Bless you for your work.
I wonder how the horses must feel when they get realised out of the trailer, the feel of being of being out in the open with grass and mud again. It makes me so happy on what you have done. Well done 👍🏻 😊
You are amazing, for rescuing all of those horses, and allowing the ones who couldn't be saved, to leave this world, with love, and dignity , and knowing that you cared enough. It's heart breaking to see any animal suffer, especially like the horses you rescued, who are dumped like trash, by their horrid past owners. Thank you for your kindness to these beautiful animals. xx
You are doing an amazing job... putting those sweet souls down and making their last day a great one full of hay and kind people is so good. Thank you for doing what you do.
It’s nuts to me that someone would put all that time into gentling a mustang just to let it suffer with an untreated broken leg long enough for it to heal like that then send it to auction. People disgust me.
Don’t beat yourself up. You are being responsible for the care of theses babies. Thank you!
I love the extended behind the scenes of picking them up from auction.
You have the best vet ever. Thank you all for everything you do. I can’t wait to adopt from you guys one day.
Ya'll have restored my faith in rescues. So many are too interested in quantity of days vs. Quality. God Bless ya'll for letting horses go instead of keeping them alive just because you can. Those horses are lucky to be rescued by ya'll.
I applaud you for rescuing horses from suffering and doing the loving and responsible thing others would not.
Thank you for rescuing them🐴🐴🐴😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝💝💝 God Bless you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💝💝💝
There were several who had to be put down...but the fetlock injury was so obvious can't imagine where he was hidden so long, that no one noticed and called the law!!! SO horrific! Makes me want to hurry and put them down when I know the pain they are in! Thank God you are willing to buy the worst ones to do the last act of kindness for them and the unfortunate reality is that the people who had them were NOT punished for letting them live with things like broken hips!! Bless you all, it's so much hard work, but SO worth it to save the ones you can!!
Calling the law is often a waste of time...
Y'all are doing amazing work, keep doing what your doing, the horses and people who love horses thank you
Thank you for making the difficult decisions that have to be made. I am thankful that they were in your hands and not making it to the
Slaughter house to go thru that horrid experience . . . Thank you for caring.
Seeing the fear and dull, lifelessness in such innocent creatures' eyes just makes me want to scream my lungs out. Thank you for taking these wounded soldiers, even if it is only to just say goodbye. As for those who would bash the job you guys do, I want to see them in the auctions with you, seeing what you see, and why you do what you do, and then have them look you in the eyes and still bash you. Cowards let these animals end up with this cruel life. Bashers, in my opinion, are just as cowardly.
It takes really special people, with huge hearts to do what you do. Super Heros!
I only found this channel today. Your Vet is GREAT!! I LOVE your work, have seen a good few videos today.......had to cry here and there......Keep up this great work!!! It is unreal what man does to animals......All the best wishes from Germany! Your work is awesome!!!
Thank you for providing these precious horses with the last act of kindness and doing it in such a way that they know they are cared for. You are wonderful.
Putting a horse down that is in pain is the only option. Anyone that keeps a horse in pain is no animal lover.
Thank you for what you're doing, you're helping those who can be helped and ending the suffering of those who suffer, that's what I call a real hero...
It makes me so happy to know that they are rescuing all these animals and doing the best things for them
I love the work you and Dr Scott do. Thank you for all them beautiful babys you save. God bless you all
Lord I wish they'd pass a law to stop all this suffering . Thanks Horse Plus for all you do. I just hope somewhere in the very near future people that let there animals suffer like this. They should be charged with this. We should be able to go back with all the paperwork at auctions and find these trouble people and charge them with abuse. May the lord bless Horse Plus for all they do
Thank you so much for making these horses last moments feel loved! They can’t all be saved but at least you are doing the right thing by them!
It’s scary knowing that we’re living and surrounded by all theses people that have zero compassion.
You are still my hero Tawnnee many blessings to you and your rescue 💕
Absolutely Adorable Doc💯💞🥰
I have a Major Crush on him
Stand in line Deanna !!! LOL
@@JillUdart lol yep right beside you 👍💞💐
Rather distinguished and kind.
@@karenrubenmoss9307 💞💐👍💯
I agree
It’s absolutely beautiful what everyone does to save horses. Takes a strong heart, determination, lots of donations and a whole lot of volunteers. Bless you all for saving as many as you can ❤️🙏🏼
These poor horses, it makes me tear up every time. Especially the gelding with the broken leg and the little mini with the broken hip. I live on the opposite end of the country but I hope to adopt from you guys when the time comes.
Thank you for doing the right thing by those horses. It is just as important that their last moments are surrounded by peace and love. It truly is the last act of kindness, and it is never easy.
Great job everyone! Your doc is a sweetie! (NOT just for the pizza, though it did raise him in the ratings!) Best wishes to you!
These babies 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️ much love from Oklahoma
I always cry when I see them coming to you. Everything is done to save them, and the final act for an animal is also a beautiful thing and you stop suffering in a humane way You are angels on Earth and so is the vet
You ARNT KILLING HORSES!! You are euthanizing them.. sending your horse with a serious injury to an auction is killing them. That owner knows damn good and well that animal is going to slaughter. That walker mare broke my heart.
When will you name a horse after the vet?
I was thinking that to. Would definitely be cool. He is seriously a really vet. I absolutely love him and his love for all the animals.
New sub and love you do what others should have done with each horse, including the act of kindness. I've saved a few at auctions here in Ohio. The spirit of the horse, something that has been in me since a little girl up to now as a grandmother, until the end. God Bless you all. Very few will save the ones that may not make it. 💜
I am very new into horses but have always loved them and am learning as much as I can. I want to find a place to volunteer. You mentioned auctions in Ohio, which is where I'm at, do you know of any rescues near Central Ohio?
@@jennifer1110 I'd search for horse auctions. I go to Sugarcreek near Amish country. Go luck! Each one saved matters!
Yup.... sugar creek grrr...😡
Doc is the sweetest. Thank you so much for all of the kind work you do!!!!
God bless you all for what you have to endure on a daily basis I'm sorry that you have those haters that think your doing wrong but when you have to put a horse down it not only effects the animals it effects you because you have to be the one that makes the best decision for these animals I'm grateful for your kindness and I hope you keep up the great work
Wow! In love with Storm, she's so beautiful! I'm such a sucker for big red horses.💓
I stumbled on to your videos last night and I’m amazed at the work your doing. My heart is breaking for these beautiful animals.
GOD bless all of you for what you are doing for these majestic animals. After I retire from my job in less than 10 years, I want to help!!!
Such great hard, heartbreaking, tiring, expensive, rewarding work! Hugs to each of you😊
Connie we know you are a kind and fair person that does the best for these poor horses thank god they end up with you and are relaxed even at the end instead of scared and frightened on the pipeline to Mexico. Thank you for being there!!
Love the grey horse that was neighing and pacing they’re all beautiful! I’m so enjoying your channel and I’m full of admiration for your incredible work in saving these beautiful animals. My horse riding days are long gone because of sickness and disability I am in a wheelchair 🦼 but I can still enjoy horses in your videos. The horse with the broken leg brought tears to my eyes when you were medicating it. Glad you were able to make this horse comfortable and loved 🐴❤️
I love that you’re saving them,hopefully going to better place
You can't help but love Doc. He is wonderful to the horses and people around him. What a great guy.
Thank you so much for rescuing these precious horses that are abused and mistreated ..Thank you for showing them acts of kindness so they dont suffer any more..I rather see their lives end this way than through a slaughter house...I literally cried when I saw the horse with the broken leg..and the pony with the broken hip...how much they must have suffered all this time.Yall are definitely a part of God's angels ..😢👼🐎🐎..I hope they are running free and happy in God's pastures.
Bless you for letting those suffering horses go with love, dignity and respect. Something their previous owners were too uncaring to do for them. Keep up the good work and be assured that those who love horses/animals fully understand and support the decisions you make in those animals' best interests.............
I love everything you do and I love that you call it the last act of kindness as that’s what it truly is. ❤️. I also hate the big lick industry and it’s illegal In most states for a reason. Those xrays should be shared and her story should be told
That grey one look realy beautiful.
Bless you all for doing what you're doing in resquing those horses.
I do not know how any of these horse owners can live with their selves, THANK YOU for doing the hard work and helping these poor babies out of their pain, and helping all the others find homes and hopefully good homes where they will be loved REALLY loved for the rest of their lives,
Thank you for doing the tough job and giving these wonderful animals the respect and allowing them to pass with dignity. I used to work in a shelter and it was the hardest part of rescue work. God bless what you do.
The horses you have sadly had to humanely put to sleep were able to experience kindness and love from you that they so deserved. You rescued them from a cruel situation and I dread to think about what they would have suffered had you not. I love your videos and you are amazing! God bless you and your team in this amazing rescue effort. You are awesome! You have a good vet as well 💖🕊
You do what needs to be done , God bless you , take no notice of the Haters , they not know what they do , love to you all , be safe and continue with the great work you guys do , love from the Uk x
I always suggest to people when they do their wills to leave money to good organizations that help rescue animals! I know I will definitely have a few in mind! Including this one! Besides donating while I am still here! Blessings 🙏❣️
You are NOT killing horses!! Thank God for people like you. I keep donating every month. Thank you for all your hard work .
It's really easy/easier for some people to sit in their comfy chairs at home and criticize you people then to get up and help do something about the abuse in the first place and/or be part of an organization like this to rescue save and rehome the ones that can be!! Or at least donate money or supplies! Your nasty mean spirited words Only show what kind of person you really are or maybe makes you feel better about your lousy uncompassionate self!!!
This group of wonderful people are action not just talk and they put their own selves on the line not only to do the necessary work to get them adopted but also take the responsibility to make the heartwrenching tough calls to do the right thing to stop the horrific pain of those that cannot be helped. And in the meantime give the care and show them love!
You people are true horse lovers with endless love kindness and care. Thank you so very much for all you do but for the humankind you are.
You are some of life's true heroes.
God bless you...
how wonderful for the 19 you rescued. I, too, look forward to the videos and updates. It makes me feel like I am a part of it. I watch, cry, laugh and dream on what will happen and then diligently watch for any new news. I know auction day is very hard on you guys but I love it--I know that more horses will be helped so I can't wait for each one. The worst for me tonight was finding out the one with the old broken leg was to be put down.........I knew it would have to be but hoped differently. IF it could have been managed to be somewhat fixed to relieve pain and be saved, I was determined to get it here as a buddy to my old retired girl. I soooo wanted her. Please keep up what you are doing (I know you will) and I know there is a very special place in Heaven for all of you all. I humbly thank you.
Thank you 😊 for being able to do the last act of kindness when they have suffered so long
I am so happy for what you do for these horses!
Doc is truly a blessing for you and your animals. Treasure him.
ps I can’t fathom the big lick. It’s the worst cruelty I’ve ever seen and the monsters that do what they do to the horses should be imprisoned. Soon I hope the PAST Act will be passed so the horses in the industry now are saved and rehabilitated. ❤️
Thank you 🙏 from my heart ♥️ . The horses you rescue and survive, live with dignity and respect pain free. The ones who can’t be saved, thank you for giving them some time surrounded by good people and letting them go peacefully. It’s unthinkable what the unlucky ones go through on the way to slaughter and how they are killed. It’s horrendous cruelty and totally preventable. Watching from Tasmania 💞
Amazing work you do, shoutout to Doc for being wonderful!
