Hardest Auction - Horse Shelter Heroes S4E30
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- This auction rescue was horribly sad. There is no other way to put it, there were so many emaciated and neglected horses. Horses that should have never been taken to market. Horses that needed immediate help. There's a lot more in this episode of Horse Shelter Heroes, so watch every minute!

Euthanasia translates to "a good death", which is what you gave for those horses suffering beyond recover. You give all the horses you euthanize the death they deserve, not in the slaughter pipeline. It's very hard, but the silver lining is they got love and dignity in their last hours. Thank you.
AMEN ❤
who Do You Think You Aredo horsesso you get a thumbs down🧑🌾

I love the way Troy spoke about Blossom. "We belong to each other."💗
Yes!!! You could see the love there 🥺💗
Dr Mary Ellen fitted in so well to the team and she described her experience so well.
Yes, she did. A lovely lady. 😊
Her voice was very soothing. A definite asset to your team.
Appreciate all you do in fighting the Big Lick Demons!❤
Sending good vibes your way from Maryland.

This was a very difficult auction, but I want to say, Dr. Mary Ellen survived the trial by fire. Yes, she broke down talking about it. Afterwards. You didn't scare her off with the auction experience. She was genuinely glad to be there for the ones who suffered. I was pretty impressed with her our all. I hope she has a long and successful career with HP or without.❤
I'm not sure she could do it..not just the emotional side but the specialised equine knowledge needed too..I don't think she'd take the job..filling the brilliant dr Nancy's shoes isn't going to be easy
@@kimmarievan-ever6599 This was an extreme auction. Usually they got 18-24 horses, picking up 34 with so many so critical that they don't want to travel them, is an outlier. I think she handled this auction with grace and I think she'll be a brilliant addition to the team.
@@kimmarievan-ever6599 I don’t know her experience with horses, but I honestly can’t even imagine Tawny bringing her out to interview if she doesn’t have the experience necessary. I also do not think someone who shows their emotions is any less likely to succeed than someone who doesn’t. I happen to wear my heart on my sleeve, yet worked in a shelter as an Animal Control officer for years. It’s hard to euthanize animals that have had such a horrible life or young animals that should have their entire lives ahead of them but due to human ignorance need the last act of kindness. I’m not ashamed to admit there were many animals I held or stroked crying as they passed. It doesn’t make me weak it makes me human.
@@melissaspake7727 I never said it made her weak.. I meant that she might find the constant pressure of doing this every month too much on her emotionally..I always said that you could see how hard it was for the vets and staff in this situation and that of course they get upset giving the last act of kindness it shows how much they care. I have never said it shows weakness but love. It was the way Mary Ellen was speaking at the end that she said it would be a good position for some people to which I understood it wasn't for her..
@@kimmarievan-ever6599 we don't know her knowledge yet , but auctions like this are a whole new world to most vets so I dont blame the emotions .. they are vets because they love animals. Maybe it's not for her but we will see i hope she does well in no matter what she does ❤❤❤
Y’all don’t forget to like this video only a few have done so out of 800 and something to show the some love horse people
The new vet was so caring. Really liked her
Yes so do I.
How you all held it together during the 20 hours with broken hearts, lack of sleep and supressing your disappointment in the human race is nothing short of true heroism. I asked God to bless you all from the filming to the veterinary doctors having to medically treat and make the call for the betterment of each life condition presented.
Thank you and the compassionate supporters who allowed these horses to find genuine love in their final hours.
❤
Prayers are good, but I would like to see the former owners have expensive and serious legal penalties as well!
I agree. I can't imagine how this is legal!!! This is torture! What is wrong with " people"
Dr.lydia and Dr. Nancy the power team!!
I also have my box of tissues ready. The look on Tawnee’s face says it all I know there’s hope for these animals in one way or another.
Dr. Nancy will be so greatly missed. She has been so educational to us all!
I pray only the best for her & her family.
Her time with us has been nothing short of a blessing!! Thank you Dr. Nancy & God Bless you & ur family!❤
What's happened to dr. Nancy?
@@Viktorijasummer yes I wanted to know that too . Why she left ?
Why she leave ??
It is completely unfathomable how all of you can hold back the tears and have such brave hearts to do what you do. Your are a true blessing to these suffering animals.
The humans that did this to them - God will have vengeance. They deserve the same suffering.
Yes, I hope you are right about the humans that abused & neglected these horses. It upsets me SO MUCH...I am not sure I can watch it. It hurts me...
Absolutely
Yes, the Bible tells you that God is watching over His creation and He will repay. ❤
Aww the new vet is so caring, I love her already❤
Me too!!
We don't know if she stays. There would come another vet the week after.
@@N_v_G true, and the way she was talking it’s definitely not clear. I hope she stays🙂
Nancy is a remarkable vet, & Lydia is awesome. BIG shoes to fill. Best wishes to new vet, who seems very capable. 👍
Ngl, even tho I don't watch this channel often, I'm gonna miss dr Nancy. Such an amazing and lovely person. Hope everything is gonna turn out good for her and her family 😍
BIG SHOES to fill behind Dr. Nancy!
I must have missed it. Where is Dr. Nancy going??? I didn't know that she left.
@@charleenfoott1158yeah, that's what I wanted to know too.
🙏🏻 Prayers for her & her family🙏🏻
Heartfelt prayers for everyone involved with such a hard auction this time.
unreal conditions of way too many this time around, Thank You ALL for being the boots on the ground
It was just great to see Dr. Lydia again! I’ll miss Dr. Nancy and wish her the best. Good luck Dr. Mary Ellen.
Oh blossom and her new owner ❤ that’s love
Right?!? ❤️❤️❤️
The orange kitty was definitely voicing his opinion loudly. I love how gentle and caring you are when you work with them. 💕🐾🐈⬛
Thank you, Dr Nancy and Dr Mary-Ellen.
Shout out to the Outlaw Rescue !
Wow! 34 horses !!! Whooo hoooo
Prince is so lucky to get care from such amazing vets!
The look on Tawnee's face chokes me up. Bless her heart. Tawnee and Jason - have you ever considered taking a trip to Kentucky and hitting up all the rich owners and trainers, literally cold calling them and Begging?? I don't know whether making appointments with them would be best or not. Have you tried this?
You do realise that some of these horses came from all over the country? How could you track down the owners when the owners sold the horses to the auction?
What's your point please. What are you talking about? @@cindylong624
@@cindylong624 I think they mean to call wealthy horse lovers to ask for donations.
‘Bigfoot saw me but nobody believes him.’ I love it!
Thank you guys for always doing the right thing for these amazing and beautiful animals
Congradulations Dr Mary-Ellen. You have the most beautiful heart and loving energy. You are going to be such a wonderful vet.
This rescue was major. I am so glad that so many horses that needed the last act of kindness did receive it. Mary Ellen, the vet candidate, appears to have the heart for the work. I think that, in time, she would be able to handle the emotional stress. All she needs is someone to teach her what she will need and does not already know. Tawnee, you are amazing in so many important ways. And so is your husband and team members. It will be wonderful as your mission expands as you strive for, and slaughter will end. Many blessings. 😇💓
This is the worst yet. There’s no excuse for owners to do this when you will buy these horses from the owners. To those that think Horse Plus should try and save these horses, understand that many of them are already dying. They can’t be saved. All things eventually die but they shouldn’t have to suffer. Horse Plus is there for these precious beings. What about all the other auctions? Who saves them? Hurray for the mentor programs ❤
There are different rescue groups all over, that rescue what they can. Thing is, their all bidding against what's called kill buyers that buy for human consumption. Those buyers can pay higher prices, so they buy the healthy ones, plus the ones rescue groups would not survive the trip to slaughter, not all are that bad, but some are. The horses going to slaughter usually go either Mexico, or Canada.
Plus, horses severely under weight, would cost more, and take longer to get to slaughter weight. So Feedlot that take slaughter bound horses, don't usually want to take the time, plus injuries, not wanting to help those, cost wise.
Hey y'all, let's knock their donation socks off..
Dr Mary Ellen has a great soothing voice for her patients.
Reality of what rescues and those horses face.
Everyone please sign the petition in the MORE section despite where you live❤
Love from Canada
WO kann ich die Petition unterschreiben???
Ich habe keinen link für eine Petition gesehen, bei der Videobeschreibung.
Allerdings verstehe ich kein englisch. Die Videos kann ich nur mit Hilfe der automatischer Übersetzung etwas verstehen.
I donated after I saw Jason's live post saying there are 70 horses and they're in bad shape..the fact that they euthanized 1 horse straight away..and 12 horses the next day because they didn't measure up to the regulations for travel tells us all how bad this was but then seeing them is just heartbreaking ..the thing is that their owners can be tracked but nothing is done about this abuse..because make no mistake..THIS IS ABUSE !! Dr Mary Ellen seems a kind hearted lady..IF she is hired she will need to toughen up a bit..nothing to do with getting upset ..that's natural..but more decisive vocally would be a better description..in my opinion listening to what she was saying at the end I don't think she'd take the job if offered..I don't think she has enough equine experience and knowledge to make the job easier for her and Horse Plus ..I said it when we found out that Dr Nancy is going to be very hard to follow..thank you all for what you did for them all..especially showing some love to the last act of kindness horses..safe passage over the 🌈 bridge..you are well and free to run with the wind in your manes..🇬🇧💞🙏🐎👍🐎🐎🐎🌈💔💔💔💔🇺🇸
I love Jason’s shirt…Bigfoot saw me, nobody believes him. The Lord: “ Same here.”
The surrendered kitties on the perches in the bird cage! Not funny, but so funny!! 🤣 Yes, thank you for fixing that, Tawnee. ❤️❤️❤️
Every day, hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats are put down humanely, in this same way that these horses are put down, for much the same reasons, their medical conditions cannot be fixed by human hands, and they are in too much pain. I do not understand why it is so hard for some people to translate that, be it a cat, a dog, or a horse.... a painless death is the least we can do for our fellow creatures when we are not able to do anything else to help. I am an energy healer, and recently even that could not help my senior dog with his pain. It was just too much. And so we made the choice to end his suffering, and the vet helped him cross rainbow bridge. Every creature great or small, deserves to live a life of dignity and without fear or pain. Cheers to those willing to do the work and fix the problems, no matter what that cost is. Thank you.
thank you for helping those horses. that baby broke my heart. he was so pretty and could have been a good horse.
Very, very, very upsetting to see the terrible condition of so many horses... It's unconscionable how these wonderful, sentient creatures who work so hard for us are cast aside and treated like rubbish 😔😔😔
Bless you guys for taking the hard stance and relieving their pain immediately.
It’s a crying shame how owners could let their horses suffer in the hopes of making an extra few bucks.
You guys are angels to these beautiful animals.
Thank you for looking after them
This was the best edited auction intake ever! Very smooth transitions and story telling! Well done team! Dr. Mary Ellen is a treasure and I know the decision will be tough for the organization if the next vet does as well too. Dr. Mary Ellen has a rare quality of reading a horse, a kind spirit and a very tender touch and heart. Loved her baby kitty surgeries skills for neuter! Bonus stars to you! That will help adoptions to happen quick! I liked her recommendation to potential students about considering a 'rotation' at HPHS!
HPHS team, may I suggest that you find a few retired 'truck driver' volunteers that could help drive you home so everyone could sleep on the way back when you have short nights at auction. It would be uplifting and rewarding for a young retiree and not as taxing as mucking a stall, etc.
Blossoms new dad is a great example of what good adoptees should be like. 🤩🤩👏👏🐴🇦🇺🇦🇺
I agree blossom already loves him.
Good to see Roxy with Outlaw Equine Rescue.
I almost died😂😂 “devoid of his testicles” Dr Nancy you are Awesomeness
Okay,-- I LOVE, LOVE the guy who adopted the beautiful paint mare!!!!!!!!
She Loved Him Too!!!
Awesome, Amazing, Etc. ❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊
I wanted to write this too, what a sweet couple, Blossom is so cute and the adopter also seems to be a great guy. I hope that they can spend many wonderful years together. Love from Germany.
👍🏽
I have no words, just tears. To see the condition of some of those horses is just heartbreaking 💔. It blows my mind how ruthless some people can be. On another note, I like Dr. Mary Ellen, I think she would fit in nicely at Horse Plus ☺️
What a heartbreaking auction this month. I'm so sorry you were faced with the end of suffering for all those poor, neglected horses. My heart especially broke for the young one with the embedded halter deformity. Tennessee really needs animal cruelty laws. The conditions of those horses are unacceptable! Thank you for being there for them when they needed it most. May they rest in peace. 🌈🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
I’m originally from near Jackson Tennessee. Absolutely ridiculous this state can’t get their political act together to outlaw these dang big lick horse events! Those combined with notoriously lax or non existent laws for horse auctions and no accountability from owners, kill buyers for being allowed to keep dragging these poor horses around in such horrific conditions and the auction owners just making a buck - makes Tennessee look like even more of a redneck, good old boy, low intelligence, state. Absolutely disgusting to see. Being gone from there 43 years and working volunteering in rescue work in other states - some better some as bad or worse - sad. Just sad! To keep seeing what humans are capable of! Thank you Horse Plus!
state behind the times!
I agree. Behind the times and barbaric. You should not have to have LAWS for common sense.!!!!
How can castrating an animal be legal. You go to college for years for a f reason!!!!!
Dr. Mary Ellen-- what a kind soul
I like Dr Mary Ellen, she is very kind to the horses and has a soothing voice. I'm so sorry the auction was hard on everyone. I don't know how y'all do it month after month, year after year.
I am glad to hear you are accepting horses instead of the auctions. God bless you all. If I lived there, I would be promoting this daily for your organization.
Thank you for all that ya'll do. I too am trying to rescue, as I can. Singular middle aged woman can still rock it. Never give up!
Tawnee……I know you guys have been bullied because of the last act of kindness…I am so sorry to hear this. I want to THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU CAN DO, to relieve their pain/discomfort/& misery.
Love You SOOO much, I thank God for YOU ALL!!
♥✝
Welcome Mary Ellen.
weeping - thank you.
Thank you for helping and caring. God bless you.
I think that was the one of the hardest or the hardest auction episode I have watched , lots of tissues used and plenty of tears. You guys do such an amazing job . Thank you for all that you do!! Dr Nancy you was amazing with these horses as always really hope this wasn’t your last auction you are gonna be so missed!! X
Bless everyone from the three rescue organizations that helped rescue the horses.
I'm glad Outlaw got that little foal. I hope it has a fighting chance to grow up fat and sassy. ❤
14:50 When that kitten flopped back like that, I laughed along with everyone else. So cute, so drugged up. Needed that moment of levity for this episode...one of the hardest auctions I've seen in a while.
Thank you all, for your strength making the hard decisions.
Sometimes it hurts to watch these videos 😢 I'll always donate but this is hard to watch .
Yes it does!
I hope all the participants in your rescues have access to psych support. You deserve help to stay healthy and keep on doing rescues. Brave hearts and healthy souls. The horses feel tender hands, loving voices, food and water in abundance as well as sunshine and the company of other easy tempered horses. Having put down many old dogs and cats and helping a neighbor put down her 34 yr old horse I know the tenderness we were able to show our animals at the end to make passing easy for them. It hurts me years later so I know you all carry that hurt. You really are heros'. God bless and help you.
Tawnee has always been freakin gorgeous to me ❤
I'm proud do be a donor. Ever since I saw what I believe was a auction transport here in Texas, I have been aware of this issue. It was so disturbing seeing the condition of the horses in that trailer, I've never forgotten it. Thank you for the opportunity to help them.
I really hope prince his leg gets better and it heals. He’s a very beautiful horse with a very sweet disposition and he will make some family or child a wonderful horse. All of you guys keep on keep up all the great work at the rescue and Dr. Nancy thank you for taking care of all those sweet horses.
Very Happy for Blossom x She's a gorgeous painted pony x x
The best experience is, hands on experience, she's right , send a few there on rotation from vet school. They'll learn fast, believe me!
👍🏽
Wow wow wow, So painful to watch. Very Sad that some people see these beautiful creatures as objects rather than living, breathing, beings that depend on us for EVERYTHING. Many thanks and Bless your Heats, Heart Plus! 👏❤👏❤
Dr. Mary Ellen has a sweetness in her energy.
DOCTOR Nancy you're brutal "There's pimples bigger than that!"🤣
Wow, this one was tough! I don't know how you guys do it You are some tough people who have a job and do it no matter what comes your way! Thank you for the great job that you do!
Oh my gosh that little orange tabby really had the most overdramatic reaction to the injection! I think Dr. Mary Ellen did so well because that auction was the definition of a trial by fire and she kept herself going and working the whole way through. I love little Steve, he's so adorable and I'm glad he's guaranteed a good home with Caitlyn and Kory once his time in quarantine is up
I sit here shaking my head trying to understand why people would allow their animals to get in this condition. I thank God for the heart of Horse Plus to continue to do the right things even though it causes a heavy emotional toll. I thank each and everyone who participates in their care.
I love Mary Ellen. She has such a good head on her shoulders, a beautiful attitude. I would love to know her personally, I would have much to learn from her. Nothing seems to put her off her rhythm. Her feedback on first auction was focused on how the team pulled together to do good when needed, and how she loved seeing the horses relax ❤❤❤
Your new vet is so calming
The comment "be the soft landing": says it all. Thank you for being there for these beautiful souls.
My heart is crushed. My ultimate dream is to share my life with a horse and so many people throw these amazing animals away. Horrific! 😭
The people who make it happen at horse plus, I take my hat off to you.Y'all wear so many hats. Work as great team, deal with horrific injuries and endure so much. I love all of you with all my heart and soul. Thank you for all your kindness.😁🥴
So depressing how others treat their horses. Thank you for being there especially for those dozen+ sad souls who needed the last act of kindness immediately.
Gid bless you all! Horses need you. You are angels! I love watching bc you care.
Hi again TAWNEE
Compassion and love beyond for those from this really tough auction.
Without you their suffering continues until a horrific amount of suffering ends it all. Brave and dedicated are you all and heartfelt thank yous for helping the ones you can to give them a second chance in life in forever homes.
Take tender care of yourselves and have peace that you always do the best for the horses no matter...
God bless
Dr. Mary Ellen, I am thankful for you. You're the Bees Knees! I know you are a kind & compassionate Dr. A TOTAL BLESSING. Hopefully we will see you a lot more!
Dr. Nancy, ❤ you. ❤ YOU.
So tell me please, how are the humans that starved & abused these animals not brought up on charges? Is that not animal abuse? Or am I just crazy?
Blossom has found a lovely home
love the new vet, she has a sense of humor, and i learned alot from her.
Thank you Horse Plus, for the rescues
It's overwhelming to realize (truly let it sink in) how so many cruel humans treat these magnificent creations. One cannot but cry.
Dr Mary Ellen has a sweet reassuring way of talking to the animals. She is a tender soothing spirit. No matter her path decision, she is a blessing to all in need of help.
Dr Nancy, you were always a strong hold that could be & was counted on. A wealth of knowledge for sure. You gave all the animals your utmost care with "golden" hands.
I'll miss seeing you. I give you a H.U.G. (Heavens Ultimate Gift) as you continue on your journey.
Thank you, all of you, for the freedom you gave these horses.
Wow, super rescue. A big THANK YOU for all that your team does to provide a second chance to these magnificent animals.
Can't believe people can be so healthy do the shit to sweet liveing souls horses are not be treated like this it make so sick ty guys for being there those poor souls
Each and every one of you truly Are HEROS! ❤❤❤
👍🏽
Y’all do so many great things for these critters! I know you have their best interest at heart! God bless you for all you do for as many as you can do!🙏❤️ Thank you all for loving and caring for horses as much as you do!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
JASON your science makes me twitchy. 😊
Your Work is just amazing…and heartbreaking 💔 So good that the critical ones don’t have to suffer anymore even if it is sad that the last thing they saw in their live is a freaking auction Barn…😢Thank you to all for being a light in the darkness….❤❤❤
My heart goes out to all of you. Thank you for helping those beautiful old souls.
id rather see a vet be emotional, rather than one who isnt. atleast you lnow they really care, and take the job seriously
All of you are SO awesome! Every rescue should strive to become a full circle of life rescue. Thank you!
It gets worse with every auction episode I swear. Now we have “hot potato” horses, traded around until they literally drop dead somewhere. 😡🤬
Heartbreaking video. Hats off to all of you once again.😢😊
Oh my goodness so terrible the condition of some of the horses. Thank you for taking care of them. Beautiful episode. I hate for the episode to end. Thank you again. God bless you all.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As much as I cry for the horses that got so critical, I'm so grateful they are at peace and out of pain. As hard as it is to say goodbye, it's easier than seeing them continue to suffer. ❤
❤
