Because CVI stands for certificate of veterinary inspection. The health cert required to transport and sell animals can only be issued legally by a vet
Help save beautiful horses 🐎 horses 🐎 ❤️ life's matters ,thank you for recuse beautiful horses 🐎 it takes a village of heart ❤️ 💙 💜 souls of humans 😊 to care about safety welfare and their health care system needs to stop testing drugs and others programs needs help save beautiful pet's horses 🐎 horses 🐎 🐕 🐈 monkey 🐒 🙈 🙊 others animals need save 😊
The tomfoolery is so bad that my vet had pictures of every animal in his practice for the last few years. It ate up a lot of cloud space! It is easy to copy government forms. It was nice when you had a lost pet to get returned, but a shame an honest man had to go such expense, to protect himself.
When Dr. Lydia recommends the last act for horses, it is not so hard on my heartstrings as she openly shows her love for the animal and willingness to do everything she knows to save them. Thank you Dr. Lydia for openly showing just how much you care as a person, not just a doctor. Be Blessed, always.
I agree completely with you. HP jas two extremely beautiful vets and vet technicians. All the staff are are angels that just want to do the very best for these animals that for the most part were badly let down by people. God's blessings to everyone of you ❤.
At my former workplace vets would change their demeanor around a horse depending on how much they were worth. I’m so so happy to see that Dr. Lydia and Dr. Gina treat every horse with so much compassion and grace - because they’re all worthy of our love 🧡
Since they've all got "health certificates," why not press charges on the vet that signed off, since that's the only actual documentation that came with the suffering horses. They're not keeping up with their hippocratic oath of "do no harm."
A health certificate is basically saying free of communicable disease not that the animal is healthy. Dr Lydia was calling it a CVI Certificate of Veterinary Inspection which honestly is a better name for it because the vet saw the animal but that's about it
CVI is the right name for the cert by a vet that the animal is free of communicable disease to the best of their knowledge. The point is how does a vet say “sure this horse can only use 3 legs to stand, go ahead and put it on a trailer”
35:44 holy hell that poor girl 💔 Fingers crossed for that draft mare. My husband is a police officer … he sees a lot of terrible things. And when people say “I don’t know how you can stand it”, he says that pain and suffering happens whether we look or not. If we look, we can do something about it. If we don’t, it happens anyway but in silence. It’s hard as hell to see animals in this condition, but you’re stopping it now for these animals who need you so badly. I’m so glad you’re saving them from a long rough final ride.
I feel the same way you do it is horrible I train standardbreds for almost 50 years I am now retired and it makes me sick to see what is going on in this world with these animals things need to change.
You’ve mentioned CA’s downed horse law that makes it illegal to transport a horse that can’t stand up, and how it wouldn’t stop most of the cases you get including the first one with the bent over front leg. I’m so glad Horse Plus is advocating for better laws!!!
I know it is necessary for a lot of the horses to be given the last act of kindness. It’s just very difficult to watch when it seems the horses in the worst shape are so sweet and trusting. I find myself wishing some could be given just a little while longer to enjoy a few good meals, to be treated kindly, to feel the sun on their faces.
That 18hh gelding with the star 😍 I have a soft spot for giants, he just needs to know that a human hand won’t hurt him anymore. If I could own a horse it would be a big baby like him. Thank you for all your care to all these horses giving them the best. ❤
Thank you giving these beautiful babies dignity in their last moments, they probably haven’t been given that along with love for a long time, it makes me mad that these babies give us humans all they have and these spitefully cruel people can’t give them the same respect so THANK YOU again for all you do xx 💔
Shameful how cruel people can be. Doubly shameful lawmakers haven’t enacted laws to prevent these atrocities. 😢 I pray along with all of you, that things change to protect equines very soon. 🙏
Tawnee on one of the other videos has information on contacting our national legislators to sponsor bills to stop horse abuse. I'm sorry I don't remember which one. but it's a very recent one.
It is called the "Horse Safe Act"...call your congressman to vote YES...in DC....Will make these meat auctions illegal even to transport to Mexico.........
🩵 It's beautiful to watch Dr. Gina be so gentle with the horses and treat them with such respect and care. Her playful communication with them makes me smile each time. Its like she is looking after her own pets. 🐴😊
It always seems the sweetest, calmest, horses, are always the most loving, and almost always the worst broken ones that have recived or endured the most abuse.
Thats why they call it the COFFIN bone.. if its gone, so are they. My grandpa used to say that..also, anything tbat has HOOVES and 4 legs cant live with only 3 love it enough to put it down....if it has PAWS it can.. quality of life, not quanity of life. I always loved the wisdom my grandpa had. He had another saying , but its kinda before we had the vet care we have now..he used to often say, one bullet, and some sadness and pain for you, is kinder than a lifetime of pain for it so you dont have to feel pain..do the right thing. .
I commend Corey and the others having to intercept and watch these horses come off that trailer and not just knock those people's lights out for hauling horses like that
A lot of these horses would go down and die on the trailer to Mexico, and that’s why you’re getting them. You’re giving more than they would go for at auction and these jerks know that too 🤬🤬🤬. All you can do is live for the few you can save, and God bless you for your care for all of them
Thank you for existing. You and all those who fight with you. Thank you that at least these poor souls were able to place their heads in gentle hands when they said goodbye and feel love once again.
Mr Mustang looked so cute trying to follow Kory after the headcollar was taken off. Awwwww the lil bay baby is so cute! Got some real cuties in this intake!
😢 💔 I'm speechless. These poor animals are in really rough shape. Thank God for HP to intervene in the lives of these poor animals. I 💯 percent trust the doctors in their evaluations and assessments and making the very tough decision for last act of kindness... No more pain 😢
God Bless this veterinarian and the wonderful rescue group!!!! I am a small animal veterinarian but i grew up with/LOVE horses! I can only imagine your heartbreak with these amazing animals- THANK YOUR FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK!!!!
That’s the problem know one wants to take blame for these poor horses. The bad thing is that the horse will do anything for you hurt or not hurt. These horses have more heart than the people who had them. It’s a major thanks to HP n to the awesome vets there for always doing the right call for them. ❤🇨🇦
What a hard, and very sad intake day 😢. Sooo many that needed the "last act of kindness" BUT, at the same time, I'm so happy they made it to HP instead of Mexico in the slaughter pipeline. This way at least they all knew love at the end 🐴. Love and God Bless you all for everything you do for all these poor neglected "thrown away" horses 💜 ✝️ Jennifer
Woah, what a day. Such heartbreak and hope side by side. Thank you for putting the whole intake process with the vet play by play. Dr Lydia is amazing. I missed the intake and seeing all the horses. You are a blessing to the world ❤ Thank you.
I own a standard breed (its his birthday tomorrow) he's 18 and hes a rescue. He makes me so happy and so I do everything I can to make him and his best friend happy, his best friend and companion is one of my sisters two horses and hes an apendix. They are both so sweet. When I see other horses especially standard breeds in really bad shape it makes me so sad. It's my horses birthday tomorrow so I picked him up his favorite brand of oatmeal, its the first birthday he's ever celebrated and he deserves so much better than what he got. They all do. Registered standards, their age is legally increased by one year on January first so for me, celebrating on his actual birthday is a way of acknowledging what happened to him, saying "look, he's his own horse not just a number" and giving him the appreciation his life deserves. All horses deserve love and the fact that I have the chance to give him that makes me so happy he's here.
First bay off the trailer is a standardbred named Mr.Cornbread , he was foaled 4/21/2017 in clarksville , pa , he was owned by Stephen k White of Carmichael, pa
Mein Gott wie traurig!Soo viel Leid müssen diese Pferde ertragen!Zum Glück gibt noch gute und hilfreiche empathische Menschen! Gott segne sie alle ❤️❤️❤️
That draft horse mare was so happy to munch some grass. I hope the infection on her leg can be sorted out. That poor gelding. He had to have been in some bad pain with his coffin bones basically stabbing his feet from the inside every time he took a step and yet really didn't show it. Fair journeys to him. That mustang was so cute following Kory after having the halter removed to get more pets. It was "Hey! Wait a minute! You aren't done yet!" As calm as he was through the intake, I suspect he's going to be an easy one to train and make an amazing horse for somebody. Wow, Ivermectin being used for what it was designed for. What a cute donkey baby. Even better if he's already gelded. Considering the shape of some of the horses in this intake, it's so nice to see him looking totally healthy. He's as big now as some adult donkeys that are full grown so yeah, going to be a big one. As sweet as he is being handled. I expect he'll be adopted soon after his quarantine ends.
I have been watching for years, I have never cried so hard when I saw that red seriously injured mare. If your caught doing this to a dog, you get charged with animal cruelty. How do horses get so bad and no one is charged with anything!!! I am so disgusted on what has happened to her. My heart breaks for her little spirit had to go threw all that pain.
The amount of horses y'all see in a day is mind blowing. I have serious respect for what each one of you do there throughout the process. I definitely have to give major kudos for the ones on last act of kindness duty for the day. I can only imagine how difficult it must be. I know it may be a better end than the kill auction, but I also know you truly wish that rehabilitation was possible for each of them. 😢 Again thank you for all you do!❤ I absolutely wish I were somebody who could offer a home to one of these or even 2. The 6 month colt and 2 year filly just tickled my heart strings. Yes I know the colt will be a big boy! I love draft horses! The filly was just precious, her main was cute poking out all over the place. She will be absolutely beautiful when she is an adult!😊❤😊
Makes me cry to see these beautiful animals be so terribly treated. There is no reason these evil people do this. I'm so glad you guys saved them and gave the ones that needed the last act of kindness
I wish the owners who neglected care, could go thru what these poor horses did. If you cant provide care to your pets, call hors plus or another shelter. Your pets have been true to you, be true to them.
I really enjoyed the content of this video. I appreciate the individual evals. I am so so sorry so many had to say good-bye. Such a terrible waste to ignore the health and lives of these precious souls. Thank you all for doing all you can for these darlings.
Amazing content, I learned so much! It's so nice to see the new vet, Dr. Jeana(?) acclimating to the crazy world of Horse Plus. We all adore Dr. Lidia, and I'm willing to bet that we are all going to fall in love with her too!
What a wonderful place Horse Plus Humane Society is! They do what is really best for the animals and don't try to keep suffering animals alive just so they don't have to put them down. I hope and pray that the vet who signed off on those pitiful horses will someday know how they felt. Please keep up the good work. I wish I had money to send, but I will send what I have , prayers for the animals and all the staff and volunteers at Horse Plus.
Oh lordy i started crying right off the bat when the firat one came off the trailer. This episode was heart wrenching. So many of these are young horses and pardon my french but this kinda of negligent abuse cannot keep happening. If they wont to turn a blind eye then guve them blind eyes to the horse world forever and ban them, Vets down to the auction people.
Have my fingers crossed for that sweet, big, mare. Gosh she could be beautiful, if cared for. There are some nice younger horses in this group, and a lot of horses that will be beautiful when you've turned things around for them. Sweet, baby, Giant Donkey! Adorable!
I can only hope it has to do with lack of money in a bad life situation and not intentional neglect. Some cannot bear to put the beloved animal down. I think most don’t understand how much pain the animal is in. I also hope sometimes that it’s because of a mental health issue the cannot help the animal. Thinking that is much better than entertaining the idea that they are just plain cruel. My mind goes over and over these things and it really seems like there are way too many situations in which horses come out on the bottom. no easy answers. What horse plus is doing is certainly helping. Now we just need more full circle of life shelters, spreading throughout the country, and more horse owners learning about them. Stopping the slaughter pipeline would help. Though I have encountered horse people on UA-cam who say things were better when horses could be slaughtered here in the US. They say at least the suffering horses weren’t being transported long distances and traded so much between auctions before being put down. Again No easy answers. Just ruminating.
The team did an amazing job on intake in the most heart breaking episode i have watched. I hope the government gets involved and get the laws changed so these animals will no longer be able to get through the slaughter pipeline and shut it down for good. Auction houses that allow sick and wounded horse and founder in their facilities should be held accountable this is absolutely heart breaking so many horses needing the last act of kindness and feel loved for the first time ever or the first time in a long time only to be put to sleep because someone should have done this for the animal before it got to this stage. Owners should be held responsible for animals that are sick old and sick or have medical conditions of symptoms of an incurable disease cancer being one of them if you cannot afford the treatment please be a responsible owner and have the vet perform the last act of kindness it is the very least you can do. Please don't let your animal suffer don't let wounds fester keep wounds clean, sterile if you can, Change dressings when the vet tells you to change the dressings if the horse manages to get the dressing off put on another one but make sure you clean it before putting a new dressing on the would keep replacing and cleaning it when the vet tells you its ok to leave it off do just that. This episode was so heart breaking so many critical horses. Owners need to own up to their neglect even the basic of care hooves and teeth horses are a herd animal their instinct if to fight or flight which means they need their legs and hooves to hold up if they feel the need to run away founder is a progressive thing if you catch it early enough the horse can live a good life when their bones are being reabsorbed or they are at too much of an angel that the hoof or the horse can no longer be saved that horse should not have to endure being forced to run around the auction ring or being so doped up that it doesn't care anymore if it hurt. We humans that have had foot pain for one reason or another know how painful it can get so imagine being between 800 and 1400 Ibs and having to walk around how painful it would be to a horse. Animals feel pain the same way we humans do they don't seem like they are in excruciating pain because horses show it in their biology rather screaming out in pain like we humans do. if they are walking funny there is something wrong get a vet out to look at your horse and take ownership of the horse make the right choice. Our horses only want to please us and be loved by us why do we just send them to an auction that horse is still in the same pain as when you had him or her do you think they suddenly get well cos they are sent to auction. what's the thinkin? It is disgusting how many people are literally getting away with murder, neglect and incompetence. Horses deserve better than this treatment at least Horse Plus Humane society does what is right by these horses.
In the 80s I was buying horses to train and resell. I thought it would be perfect for me as I would save horses that no one wanted and turn them into horses I could sell and continue the process. Im in Texas and I successfully did this with a few but not being able to save the ones that needed it most was heartbreaking. I ended up with 12 that I kept which all have passed now. Rescue wasnt popular then so I didnt work on setting up a charity. Watching this organization is inspiring especially so the public becomes aware of whats going on.
Join the membership $9.99 a month. Every dollar goes to a rescue shelter and protect all the animals we have here at the shelter. To buy the membership, go to the homepage on our UA-cam channel and click "join" or click on this link! ua-cam.com/users/horsehumanejoin thank you so much!🐴
I have had to soak alfalfa cubes for older horses, one I had live to 40 years old, as he had no molars and just nubs for front teeth! They can live with no teeth!
Agreed. They must not have the resources to care for a horse with no teeth or something in which case they shouldn’t be agreeing to take on so many animals if soaking food and providing an alternative to hay is too much work for them
How heartbreaking. This episode really got me. I'd like to get hold of the people that let these poor souls get into such awful shape and beat a last act of kindness into them. Our job as humans is to care for these creatures. How sad
I get so emotional when they are being unloaded. To see all the sad conditions that tell the stories of neglect, abuse, and pain. I do not know how you survive the tragedy of it all.
42:57 - perhaps mention too, that people can bring them to you guys if they are unable to pay for their care?? I worry that if there ARE laws in place that prosecute people for taking an unwell horse to, well, wherever, they may not get them help (surrendering even) because they are too afraid of what might happen to THEM!! 😢😢 I love that you guys are there for these animals. I do work at a horse rescue place near me, and nursing them back to health is very rewarding! 😊❤
With each horse you showed I could clearly imagine just what they would have been going through had it not been for you. Including those that had to be put down. Thank you!
The condition of these horses is very sad, but they are in excellent hands now, good food, pain relief…they are in the best of places and I’m sure they know it!
It's so sad to see how many horses are in pain. The government needs to do something about this. If people don't have the place and money to take care of animals don't have one.
Agree about the having their licenses taken away who sign off on the health reports, but like all other businesses they are protected even though they are a bunch of cruel, useless pieces of trash who have no heart and shouldn't have the title of veterinarian, true vets care for the animals such as Dr Lydia who you can tell she is a true veterinarian and deserves the title.
I've got to say that you folks are amazing and thanks for all the kindness that you have shown. I can't believe how people can allow these beautiful creatures can get to the state that they are in. I would image that to police this cruelty would be extremely difficult to manage. Surely there must be legislation in place to prevent this level of cruelty. Thanks once again for what you do. Is there a follow up on the horses that you saved?
❤I love how you take all of the animals and especially the ones that need the most help! It’s wonderful to see the ones restored to health and find forever homes and the ones that need relief find the love in their end of life…❤God bless you!❤
This must have been such a hard day. Thank you all for doing this to help horses (and other animals). I appreciate the work you are doing to help, to educate, to change attitudes. You are the Greatest!
This was awesome!! I can hardly wait to see more on the draft mare with the bad rear leg that had the towel wrapped around it. Looking forward to her surgery. She's a beauty! J
Taynee you did 16 holy shit...you all better take a day or 2 and dr Lydia you are the friggin bomb...you explain everything so well ....please take care of that amazing friggin heart....but there's just something about you that you can do this even though it breaks your heart and people suck but there are more of us with good hearts that see you're strength that in the end make us stronger....I hope that made sense😊
Vets who sign off on animals in this kind of shape need to be exposed and have their licenses revoked. God Bless Dr. Lydia and vets who have integrity
How do you know if vets are signing off ? It could be these auction houses are
Because CVI stands for certificate of veterinary inspection. The health cert required to transport and sell animals can only be issued legally by a vet
@meganbosco7016 there is a lot of deception in the horse industry. I'm very sorry to say

If they have a heartbeat or used to then they care about them
Looked up the bay Standardbred, his name was Mr.Cornbread . Rest in peace Mr.Cornbread 😢
Any other interesting info about the angel? 💕
He was foaled on 4/21/2017, in Clarksville pa , his owner was Stephen k white from Carmichael's , pa, doesn't appear that he raced
So so sad 😢
Only 7 years old?? WTHeck? Omg. This poor guy!!
The X-ray shark explains a lot thank you for showing

You are not enjoy sunshine and good food when you are in pain. A fast descicion is the best you can do for them.
I agree they have been in pain and suffering. Give her peace freedom from pain. Do it quickly with love,❤
That 18hh gelding with the star 😍 I have a soft spot for giants, he just needs to know that a human hand won’t hurt him anymore. If I could own a horse it would be a big baby like him. Thank you for all your care to all these horses giving them the best. ❤
Dr. Lydia. What a gal. There's a special place for her in heaven. Not just her either, I might add.
This episode had me in tears. Thank you Horse Plus for the kindness you give these beautiful creatures ❤️
Heartbreaking. 😭
Absolutely heartbreaking.
God Bless You All for all you do.
😢
Dr Lydia always teaches so well, and I love learning from her! You are changing the world! Love you all!
That first horse out is just so heartbreaking. 😢
I can't watch it. It has haunted haunted me since the first time I saw it. What an exquisite animal. Still a baby too. Heartbreaking.
Just wow. What the Hell happened? Holy Mary, mother of God!!

If they do that no one will bring them horses instead of taking them to auction. 😢
Hard to control your feelings regardless
A lot of these horses would go down and die on the trailer to Mexico, and that’s why you’re getting them. You’re giving more than they would go for at auction and these jerks know that too 🤬🤬🤬. All you can do is live for the few you can save, and God bless you for your care for all of them
I love that Tawny and Jason are involved in the everyday videos again.
This is a hard video to get through. God bless you all for giving these sweet horses a chance.
The first horse & I am already in tears. You all are saints. 😢
Thank you for existing. You and all those who fight with you. Thank you that at least these poor souls were able to place their heads in gentle hands when they said goodbye and feel love once again.

Mr Mustang looked so cute trying to follow Kory after the headcollar was taken off.

Got some real cuties in this intake!

I own a standard breed (its his birthday tomorrow) he's 18 and hes a rescue. He makes me so happy and so I do everything I can to make him and his best friend happy, his best friend and companion is one of my sisters two horses and hes an apendix. They are both so sweet. When I see other horses especially standard breeds in really bad shape it makes me so sad. It's my horses birthday tomorrow so I picked him up his favorite brand of oatmeal, its the first birthday he's ever celebrated and he deserves so much better than what he got. They all do. Registered standards, their age is legally increased by one year on January first so for me, celebrating on his actual birthday is a way of acknowledging what happened to him, saying "look, he's his own horse not just a number" and giving him the appreciation his life deserves. All horses deserve love and the fact that I have the chance to give him that makes me so happy he's here.
How can people be so cruel as not to treat the horse or put it under.
First bay off the trailer is a standardbred named Mr.Cornbread , he was foaled 4/21/2017 in clarksville , pa , he was owned by Stephen k White of Carmichael, pa
It's amazing how calm these poor animals are despite all they have endured. They must know they are in a good place. ❤
Mein Gott wie traurig!Soo viel Leid müssen diese Pferde ertragen!Zum Glück gibt noch gute und hilfreiche empathische Menschen! Gott segne sie alle ❤️❤️❤️
Your two vets are just amazing!! You can only hope other vets are half the veterinarian dr. Lidia is!! Her intelligence and wisdom is so inspiring!!
That draft horse mare was so happy to munch some grass. I hope the infection on her leg can be sorted out. That poor gelding. He had to have been in some bad pain with his coffin bones basically stabbing his feet from the inside every time he took a step and yet really didn't show it. Fair journeys to him. That mustang was so cute following Kory after having the halter removed to get more pets. It was "Hey! Wait a minute! You aren't done yet!" As calm as he was through the intake, I suspect he's going to be an easy one to train and make an amazing horse for somebody. Wow, Ivermectin being used for what it was designed for. What a cute donkey baby. Even better if he's already gelded. Considering the shape of some of the horses in this intake, it's so nice to see him looking totally healthy. He's as big now as some adult donkeys that are full grown so yeah, going to be a big one. As sweet as he is being handled. I expect he'll be adopted soon after his quarantine ends.
I think your right 👍
I love draft horses. I hope she makes it.
I have been watching for years, I have never cried so hard when I saw that red seriously injured mare. If your caught doing this to a dog, you get charged with animal cruelty. How do horses get so bad and no one is charged with anything!!! I am so disgusted on what has happened to her. My heart breaks for her little spirit had to go threw all that pain.
The amount of horses y'all see in a day is mind blowing. I have serious respect for what each one of you do there throughout the process. I definitely have to give major kudos for the ones on last act of kindness duty for the day. I can only imagine how difficult it must be. I know it may be a better end than the kill auction, but I also know you truly wish that rehabilitation was possible for each of them. 😢 Again thank you for all you do!❤
I absolutely wish I were somebody who could offer a home to one of these or even 2. The 6 month colt and 2 year filly just tickled my heart strings. Yes I know the colt will be a big boy! I love draft horses! The filly was just precious, her main was cute poking out all over the place. She will be absolutely beautiful when she is an adult!😊❤😊
Makes me cry to see these beautiful animals be so terribly treated. There is no reason these evil people do this. I'm so glad you guys saved them and gave the ones that needed the last act of kindness
I really like Dr. Lydia. She explains thing very well. I really learn from her.
I wish the owners who neglected care, could go thru what these poor horses did. If you cant provide care to your pets, call hors plus or another shelter. Your pets have been true to you, be true to them.
I am in tears . So beautiful , sweet and young. Thank you for everything you do. I just hate the people who are so cruel.
I really enjoyed the content of this video. I appreciate the individual evals. I am so so sorry so many had to say good-bye. Such a terrible waste to ignore the health and lives of these precious souls. Thank you all for doing all you can for these darlings.
Omg bless you for saving these beautiful souls. Humans that do this to Gods creatures need to be dealt with
Amazing content, I learned so much! It's so nice to see the new vet, Dr. Jeana(?) acclimating to the crazy world of Horse Plus. We all adore Dr. Lidia, and I'm willing to bet that we are all going to fall in love with her too!
I cried for most of this video. Hugs to you all there
Such a sweet face on that one mare and they're all so calm/exhausted, those poor things
I just love that little bay's face they called 101. ❤
What a wonderful place Horse Plus Humane Society is! They do what is really best for the animals and don't try to keep suffering animals alive just so they don't have to put them down. I hope and pray that the vet who signed off on those pitiful horses will someday know how they felt. Please keep up the good work. I wish I had money to send, but I will send what I have , prayers for the animals and all the staff and volunteers at Horse Plus.
Oh lordy i started crying right off the bat when the firat one came off the trailer. This episode was heart wrenching. So many of these are young horses and pardon my french but this kinda of negligent abuse cannot keep happening. If they wont to turn a blind eye then guve them blind eyes to the horse world forever and ban them, Vets down to the auction people.
Have my fingers crossed for that sweet, big, mare. Gosh she could be beautiful, if cared for. There are some nice younger horses in this group, and a lot of horses that will be beautiful when you've turned things around for them. Sweet, baby, Giant Donkey! Adorable!
The horse with the bad leg is beautiful. What a beautiful horse. How could somebody do something like that to him?
Because their Evil
I can only hope it has to do with lack of money in a bad life situation and not intentional neglect. Some cannot bear to put the beloved animal down. I think most don’t understand how much pain the animal is in. I also hope sometimes that it’s because of a mental health issue the cannot help the animal. Thinking that is much better than entertaining the idea that they are just plain cruel. My mind goes over and over these things and it really seems like there are way too many situations in which horses come out on the bottom. no easy answers. What horse plus is doing is certainly helping. Now we just need more full circle of life shelters, spreading throughout the country, and more horse owners learning about them. Stopping the slaughter pipeline would help. Though I have encountered horse people on UA-cam who say things were better when horses could be slaughtered here in the US. They say at least the suffering horses weren’t being transported long distances and traded so much between auctions before being put down. Again No easy answers. Just ruminating.
The team did an amazing job on intake in the most heart breaking episode i have watched. I hope the government gets involved and get the laws changed so these animals will no longer be able to get through the slaughter pipeline and shut it down for good. Auction houses that allow sick and wounded horse and founder in their facilities should be held accountable this is absolutely heart breaking so many horses needing the last act of kindness and feel loved for the first time ever or the first time in a long time only to be put to sleep because someone should have done this for the animal before it got to this stage. Owners should be held responsible for animals that are sick old and sick or have medical conditions of symptoms of an incurable disease cancer being one of them if you cannot afford the treatment please be a responsible owner and have the vet perform the last act of kindness it is the very least you can do. Please don't let your animal suffer don't let wounds fester keep wounds clean, sterile if you can, Change dressings when the vet tells you to change the dressings if the horse manages to get the dressing off put on another one but make sure you clean it before putting a new dressing on the would keep replacing and cleaning it when the vet tells you its ok to leave it off do just that. This episode was so heart breaking so many critical horses. Owners need to own up to their neglect even the basic of care hooves and teeth horses are a herd animal their instinct if to fight or flight which means they need their legs and hooves to hold up if they feel the need to run away founder is a progressive thing if you catch it early enough the horse can live a good life when their bones are being reabsorbed or they are at too much of an angel that the hoof or the horse can no longer be saved that horse should not have to endure being forced to run around the auction ring or being so doped up that it doesn't care anymore if it hurt. We humans that have had foot pain for one reason or another know how painful it can get so imagine being between 800 and 1400 Ibs and having to walk around how painful it would be to a horse. Animals feel pain the same way we humans do they don't seem like they are in excruciating pain because horses show it in their biology rather screaming out in pain like we humans do. if they are walking funny there is something wrong get a vet out to look at your horse and take ownership of the horse make the right choice. Our horses only want to please us and be loved by us why do we just send them to an auction that horse is still in the same pain as when you had him or her do you think they suddenly get well cos they are sent to auction. what's the thinkin? It is disgusting how many people are literally getting away with murder, neglect and incompetence. Horses deserve better than this treatment at least Horse Plus Humane society does what is right by these horses.
People don't have the stones anymore in our Country to do what is right for their best friends.
In the 80s I was buying horses to train and resell. I thought it would be perfect for me as I would save horses that no one wanted and turn them into horses I could sell and continue the process. Im in Texas and I successfully did this with a few but not being able to save the ones that needed it most was heartbreaking. I ended up with 12 that I kept which all have passed now. Rescue wasnt popular then so I didnt work on setting up a charity.
Watching this organization is inspiring especially so the public becomes aware of whats going on.
That is heartbroken 💔 😢 such a nice horse . Go fly, high boy can't watch anymore.
I thank each and every one of you for being amazing! 😍
Much ❤️ from Jo

I have had to soak alfalfa cubes for older horses, one I had live to 40 years old, as he had no molars and just nubs for front teeth! They can live with no teeth!
Agreed. They must not have the resources to care for a horse with no teeth or something in which case they shouldn’t be agreeing to take on so many animals if soaking food and providing an alternative to hay is too much work for them
It’s funny how the mustangs are the good horses with no problems. 😂❤
It’s sad to see horses in pain. Love the work you do!
I pray that these special people get healing daily and in their sleep,,to give them strenght to do this day after day ,,god bless you all .❤❤🐎🌄
How heartbreaking. This episode really got me. I'd like to get hold of the people that let these poor souls get into such awful shape and beat a last act of kindness into them. Our job as humans is to care for these creatures. How sad
This was a rough buyout. So much suffering.
Thank you for your courage and kindness HPHS.
Im sending Tawnee an extra Thanks!
Wow, Laura! You're awesome! I appreciate you doing what I am unable to do.🙋🏼♀️💕
Thank you!!
I get so emotional when they are being unloaded. To see all the sad conditions that tell the stories of neglect, abuse, and pain. I do not know how you survive the tragedy of it all.
God Bless you all.
I really appreciate being able to see the whole intake. It gives such a real picture of what you deal with in these horses from the intake program.
42:57 - perhaps mention too, that people can bring them to you guys if they are unable to pay for their care?? I worry that if there ARE laws in place that prosecute people for taking an unwell horse to, well, wherever, they may not get them help (surrendering even) because they are too afraid of what might happen to THEM!! 😢😢
I love that you guys are there for these animals. I do work at a horse rescue place near me, and nursing them back to health is very rewarding! 😊❤
With each horse you showed I could clearly imagine just what they would have been going through had it not been for you. Including those that had to be put down. Thank you!
The condition of these horses is very sad, but they are in excellent hands now, good food, pain relief…they are in the best of places and I’m sure they know it!
Hugs for all of these horses ...
Thank you for what you do for horses. They are my favorite animals and it drives me nuts when I see how badly people treat them.
Sending these horses strength and prayers! Humanity so messe up. So grateful for you guys and the organisation big Thank You!!!! 🇨🇦🐎
It's so sad to see how many horses are in pain. The government needs to do something about this. If people don't have the place and money to take care of animals don't have one.
So grateful for loving and caring people trying to end such horrible suffering
Agree. If can't afford do not get
Agree about the having their licenses taken away who sign off on the health reports, but like all other businesses they are protected even though they are a bunch of cruel, useless pieces of trash who have no heart and shouldn't have the title of veterinarian, true vets care for the animals such as Dr Lydia who you can tell she is a true veterinarian and deserves the title.
I've got to say that you folks are amazing and thanks for all the kindness that you have shown. I can't believe how people can allow these beautiful creatures can get to the state that they are in. I would image that to police this cruelty would be extremely difficult to manage. Surely there must be legislation in place to prevent this level of cruelty. Thanks once again for what you do. Is there a follow up on the horses that you saved?
These beautiful souls give everything they have for the owners and in return they are used abused then thrown away for a few extra bucks 😢
I love long episodes ❤❤❤. You all did amazing work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤I love how you take all of the animals and especially the ones that need the most help! It’s wonderful to see the ones restored to health and find forever homes and the ones that need relief find the love in their end of life…❤God bless you!❤
My heart breaks when I see these poor defenseless animals and what cruel human beings have done to them, I pray to God they get their just rewards
This must have been such a hard day. Thank you all for doing this to help horses (and other animals). I appreciate the work you are doing to help, to educate, to change attitudes. You are the Greatest!
This is heart wrenching😢 nearly every horse you have shown here today has to have the last act of kindness 😢 i do love the 3 year old horse so cute ❤❤
16 horses who needed tlaok is terrible. It takes a strong person to do this. I have only done it twice and that was bad enough. Such a big thankyou😢
Bless you for your care of these poor animals ❤🙏
😭 my gosh this completely breaks my heart 😭😭😭.. HOW?? WHY??? 😭
This was awesome!! I can hardly wait to see more on the draft mare with the bad rear leg that had the towel wrapped around it. Looking forward to her surgery. She's a beauty! J
Yeah, I'm hoping she'll make it through, too. She's beautiful.🙋🏼♀️💕
Taynee you did 16 holy shit...you all better take a day or 2 and dr Lydia you are the friggin bomb...you explain everything so well ....please take care of that amazing friggin heart....but there's just something about you that you can do this even though it breaks your heart and people suck but there are more of us with good hearts that see you're strength that in the end make us stronger....I hope that made sense😊
