Pauly is amazing.. He absolutely saved this horse. Even though she was 20 years old, you all took time and helped her out, giving her all the extra time she needed to heal from the abusive home she came from. I can definitely tell why she was part of an ongoing investigation. Who can let a horse get into such an appalling condition? As Pauly would say, "People suck.!"
I am in TOTAL Shock at how anyone could let any animal get to this point!! Jail is to good for the person or people who done this. The people at this rescue Pony Tales are GOD SENT. TIREDLESS, WORK! You are all INCREDIBLE.

Do you offer to pay for expensive Farrier services, if horse owners can't afford it? Jail people for being poor?

It's still animal abuse.
Paulie works miracles with horses’ feet. But without Pony Tales giving him all the time he needs to correct them, these horses wouldn’t be here. So thank you to everyone for helping & giving these horses a 2nd chance at a good life.
I am so happy to see Cindy is a cancer survivor and doing so well. Lord bless you lady.
That Ferrier is unbelievably talented
So sad to see an animal treated in this way! You can see where she's layed down by the colors in her coat! Thanks for giving her a new chance on life. She's in great hands now!!❤❤❤
I am always so impressed how Pauly can fix a horse’s feet. And this time we have a before and after the trim.
Halo was in such bad shape, those feet. So glad you were able to get her back to being much healthier and happy. Paulie and all the staff invested so much work and time to make her more comfortable and more sound. Thank you all so much, she looks fantastic compared to where she started.❤
Vet is so kind and shocked with her condition.
So glad halo is with you guys where she will get the help she needs
I swear, Pauly has magic powers. You don't often see him just drop his jaw like he did on first seeing Halo. Wow, Pauly. Just, wow.
Nate is such a wonderful guy, and very handy. I adore the banter between Cindy and Nate, they make a great team. Thank you for documenting Halo’s story. Wonderful flashback to Dr Jim - I hope he is doing better. Your vets and farrier are so knowledgeable, their patients are in the best of hands. Keep up the good work Pony Tales, I’m so thankful for all the animals you are helping.
So glad that she is on the mend, how can people neglect such majestic animals?
Poor Halo, thank goodness you guy's have her now, she will be in better hands w/ you all!😮😮😮
Your farrier holding that hoof that close to his boy berries while the horse is jumping around has my mad respect. The higher the horse jumped the higher up that hoof went up his legs. 🤣

Sorry for commenting so much but sweet Lord poor Halo smh. People really piss me off sometimes. At least theyre bringing the animals to yall instead of them going to auction!! Thank you ladies for working so hard to do the right thing y these animals! You got Halo in the nick of time with her feet thank God.
You did a great job introducing Halo. I’m sure she is going to turn into a sweetheart with the proper care and nutrition. It’s so nice to see her fill out throughout the video.
Great job Pauly!❤❤😊😊😊
Paulie is to be commended for his patience under very trying circumstances in trimming her hooves on the first occasion.
Nate is so good at his job, Don't know what you would do without him , Great Job Nate. 🙂😇😉🙃

I would encourage all of your organization members that handle the horses that they watch Steve Young Horsemanship KZread channel. He trains gently and shows effective ways to deal with misbehavior.

I thought the same thing, I almost unsubscribed from them the handling of the mini was so inept.
Halo must have been stunning when she was healthy.❤
Poor old girl. She's had it rough. But looking better.
Pauly's magic touch.
Again you guys are awesome. Hopefully with all the time and effort you guys put into this poor mare she’ll find the right forever home were she’ll have all the love and care that she deserves. Great job Pauly. Your hard work and care has really made a change for this mare.👍🐴♥️
Poor Halo 😢. I wonder what she's been thru to make her so scared and worried about everything. Pauly is just absolutely amazing with the horses hooves. What a brilliant farrier! The world needs ALOT more kind patient and knowledgeable farriers like him. I'm sure that Halos feet will improve over time with his care. And hopefully she'll learn that these wonderful humans are kind and she can learn to finally trust ❤❤❤
I was thinking the walls don't have to be pretty to get the job done and them he slips that insulation board behind the support beams and woosh! A perfect fit!!!Impressive!!!
😮WOW Y'ALL ARE AMAZING ME AND PAULIE GOD BLESS YOU FOR THE HEART YOU HAVE AND THE CARE YOU GIVE EVERY HORSE, PATIENCE😊 YOU NEVER GIVING UP ON EACH ONE. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE CARE Y'ALL GIVE THESE ANIMALS THAT OTHERS NEGLECT. GOD FORGIVE ME BUT I KNOW HE SEES WHAT I DO. I AM AN ANIMAL LOVER AND TEARS ROLL DOWN MY CHEEKS WHEN I SEE THIS AND IT'S HARD TO WATCH BUT I KNOW YOU GUYS CARE AND YOU HAVE GOOD LOVING❤💙💗💘
binging on vids,..,Pauly you are a darn good hoofer ,.,.lol.,,.seriously tho Ferrier at top level,,.,.Tkzz for sharing,.,.peace
Ya'll girls are on your toes!! Great rangling ❤.
Wow. Poor Halo. Praise God for what you guys did for her. Thank you.
Your farrier is very good. It is our responsibility to help the farrier by training the horses to stand for him. I understand the first time she was not good standing, but by the 3rd time there should have been training. Keep growing and learning. Best of luck.

I do love Dr Kristin and her info plus Paulie's face says it all. Such great teamwork.
Glad you were able to release the footage with Halo, hopefully that means her past 'captor' was prosecuted and that was successful, but I do know how that often goes, and anyway it just never works out to make ppl suffer at the same level of suffering they caused. Have to mostly be happy that the horse is no longer in their care and hopefully someone is monitoring that they don't have any other animals. Hopefully that abcess finally blowing out along with repeated treatments and improved angles will also let her improve in behavior during farrier visits, who knows. Glad they have the stocks just in case, as we need Pauly to stay alive, his content is a treasure.
Paulie and the team, miracle workers for Halo xx
Poor Paulie he certainly works his backside off! I use a lick with my horses and they behave like angels I know some people disagree as it can make for behaviours but I truely have never had any negative issues from using a lick. It is so much more friendly experience for everyone involved especially my farrier. Keep up the great work everyone you are just growing and expanding so much it’s impressive.🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺

Even Steve Young will use a lick. It is different from hand feeding so you are definitely doing the right thing.

Any of Steve Young videos are awesome! Oh you don't want to stand still, no worries, we'll move you, with quality, until our idea becomes their idea. Lots of groundwork, leaving them on a positive note so they can think about it. We move their feet - it's all about the feet, right!?! No eyeballing them, no treat giving, no unrequested forward motion - my space is everything! Love the videos where he works with the horses right before the farrier comes so the farrier, usually his son-in-law, doesn't have any issues. Hope that helps.
Thank y'all for helping Halo so much. She deserved a chance to shine and enjoy life again.
Halo was in rough shape, so glad she's doing well after all the love and care she's gotten with you guys
It was amazing with all the foot care Pauley has given her she still gets an abscess , he has so much patience
KUDOS to all of you who do such amazing work in such cold weather! Great video editing that held my interest & even invoked smiles and tears. Neglected mare looks part Arabian indicated by her tail carriage & spirit. It never ceases to concern me with the evil people chose to subject all animals to enduring. Thank God there is you! 🙏
At the one-minute mark I could see that she was uncomfortable standing on her right front while you guys chatted. So sad to realize why. Hoping the best for her and for you all for the good work that you do. 💕
Nate is great he’s so easy-going doesn’t like it to see her anything he just does what he hast to do. It doesn’t complain about it thumbs up for Nate. LOL she’s not going anywhere she’s stuck in neutral..
Terribly sad 😢to think of anyone hurting an animal!
Those Percherons are gorgeous. Love Rosebud
Wow great job Nate!!
Sorry but new to this. I just watched the Kaylie VIDEOS where she's training and love all her explanations. She's a natural teacher and asset to your company!! Ya'll rock ❤❤❤
Ok Paulie is probably one of the best farriers Ive ever seen. Job well done sir!!
I think this was the best video you've ever put out! We were praying that you'd show Pauly and the vet working on Halo. Pauly is unbelievable! I know this isn't the cure-all for this mare's feet, and there may be more trouble around the corner, but maybe you can save her. I don't understand how people can take a horse and not even have a $40 trim done, never mind teeth and feed. I sure hope this person gets prosecuted. PLEASE continue to show updates on her!
Pauly never give up. He has a heart for these poor horses whose owner neglect them and got them into the mess they came with.
Halo must have been so sore while having her feet trimmed which is why she didn't like the front left footbridge done. Poor girl, neglect is an awful thing.
Hey guys Pauly did an awesome job on Halo feet. They are ten times better Pauly. And thank you for doing her feet too. You definitely are the best. And I am sure she feels much better too. No time at all she is going to look so beautiful ❤️🤗💖 again too. And no one will recognize her. Thank you guys. Especially Dr.Kristin. And Dr. Jim too. And it will take time with Happy too. She is a pretty girl too. Those prurrrone mares Are so beautiful too. Especially the white one. All my 💗💕🥰❤️🤗💖😘😍❤️🤗❤️💖 to all.
I love your vet I don’t know her name, she just so calming . Halo knows your helping her God Bless all you Horse Whisperers 🐴🙏
I love your crew and watching all that goes on there. You are all amazing!
Great job guys! If God keeps a book of stars you’d outshine everyone. God bless you all.
I’ve learned through he years when you have a horse that doesn’t like getting feet worked on face them into a wall to keep them from moving forward. Just passing on what I figured out the hard way lol
love that horse n ty 4 helping her..pauly really knows his hooves.every living is here for a reason..i hope the ones that did this to her c justice.keep her in the witness control program
Keep up the great work.
Good job Pauly with the corrective trimming & shoeing!! Halo almost looks to be a 3 - gaited horse, although I don't know how much her movement has to do with her hooves. Thank you PTR for what you are doing for the animals. ❤️ Jo in Michigan 🌊
Well lol at least Happy stands for mounting!! Shes so pretty and funny lol. Stay safe ladies!
That poor baby. Thank God for all you guys helping Haylee with her best life she deserves it for sure.
Pauly you are so good, taking care of these precious horses!❤❤❤😊😊😊
Your Nate is the best. Is ther anything he cant do? And thank you for sharing the story of Halo. I hope it goes well for her. Pauly did a fantastic work on her feet. You are all the best. Love you all.
Amazing job with Halo ,wonderful ,so proud of all you guys do, thanks paul
You guys and girls have done a very good work with the barn and with the horses who needs a lot of care and love

Her behavior looked learned to be able to show how much she didn’t want that. Under your care she’ll be doing less of that. She will trust you all when she realizes all your amazing help ❤❤❤❤
I was watching this episode the part where the girls were working on happy- might I suggest tieing 50 to 100 lbs sand bags to her saddle& leading her around saying walketc.until she has the concept of what you want her to do? That way your girls or anyone else doesn't get bucked etc and hurt.thats what my best friend & I did while training my appy filly& her filly yrs later.her filly was trained by 9mths
You guys are so awesome - poor Halo, she had it real bad. I love how concerned you all are, doing your utmost for her. Must have been painful as well. Will be interesting to see the change in her - so terribly thin, but also how she conducts herself in the future - a half year is a long time. I can imagine she will be a fine horse after that time. She has a bit of learning and socializing most probably - what a bad time she has been through. Are horses like dogs etc, in that they live in the now, or do they always remain perhaps a bit skittish, depending ofc what they have been through. I mean, dogs just want to be loved, no matter what they have endured, they still want/need it somehow, but as flight animals, how different are horses? I can imagine they accept fast the disabilities they have and best try to continue, but how is the emotional side of things - soppier it depends on the horse too, and the trainers ofc - you are all so fantastic with your animals - you are my favorite horse rescuers - just how you all are, how you do things, such fantastic teamwork. You have usually a lot of animals there, but no one, anyhow comes too short- so close knitted, you‘re just all fantastic! Love to watch you all. You sure have some funny obey Meckmack is a real character- Happy was hilarious not moving as you were astride of her, leaning from left to right, it was so funny. Loved Thelma‘s eyebrows, that looked so dam cute! Love watching Pauli, he has so much wisdom and is so good with the equines, an awesome farrier etc, as he knows and does an awful lot, more than just his average work, he incorporates all his knowledge, always in the horses interest. Love your Vets too, love how they talk and ask the horse if it’s ok to work on it, etc. The whole lot, just fits together so well, like an English watch lol. I‘m always showing my appreciation for your work with the equines, can’t help it, it has to be said each time - you‘re all just fantastic! Your hubby as well, Nate is great - quiet and so peaceful, always so calm and doing all he can to help. A great team! 🧚🏼♀️💕
WOW...Halo looks amazing now..all credit to you guys for getting her healthy body back and Pauly for getting her feet to where she's not in pain with every step she takes..I sincerely hope the prosecution against her previous owners was successful..when they brought her in said they'd not haf her long and her feet were work 'in progress '!!. Utter bull💩..they were obviously aware of the Humane Society investigation and decided to offload her but l imagine that they were told they had to 'fess up' where they had taken her...poor thing..Happy didn't want to move with Rae on her did she😂..sorry but that was soo funny..Rosebud and Thelma are lovely..and Merrimack is one firecracker of a character even without his boy berrys...😂😂he will need A LOT of patience when and if anyone wants to take the ornery little dude on...🇬🇧💞👏🐐🐴🇬🇧🇬🇧🐎🐎🐎🇺🇸
I always hope the ones who are bonded and together, get to stay together when they are adopted. I LOVE drafts and mules..treat a mule good. And kind, youve got an awesome ride. And buddy.. i rode m mule more than my horse, she was smoother. More sure footed, smarter in a stressful situation.and would go all day.
How can people be so cruel I just don't understand it, I'm so happy she's at Pony Tails now I bet she's so relieved, will you be able to let us know the outcome of the investigation.
Oh, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤for putting in that beautiful extra effort the way you do‼️ that blessed thin beauty has come so far along because of your grace and gentle hoof machinations. Bless your heart I can’t wait to see how well she’ll do as time passes. xoxo 😘
Dr Kristen and Pauly have the patience of saints!!! Not to mention your staff!! The audacity of some people to abuse and neglect a horse that badly deserves jail time!!!! Poor Halo to have lived in those conditions for that amount of time. I’d like to see that owner go without proper health/dental care and wear the wrong size shoes for years. Let’s see how they’d feel and act. Thank you Pony Tales for the love and support you’ve shown to Halo and all the other precious souls in your care. I’m sure it feels like a thankless job sometimes, but we do notice and APPRECIATE everything you do for these AMAZING creatures that God has entrusted to us. I only wish I had the finances to help you. I support you in my thoughts and prayers. 💛🧡 P.S. even though Halo doesn’t show it, I’m sure she truly appreciates everything you all are doing for her as well.
Just watched the episode on Halo. Poor precious girl. So glad you're able to help her. Hope to see her in another month or 2 to see how she's doing. 🤍🐴
I'd name that huge pair of black and white horses YIN and YANG. Who are a pair of course. Cannot wait to get introduced to them.
What I like about these videos is the ‘theme-walk-in’ with all members of the refuge. Love the music too!👍🏼👍🏼👌

God bless you all for taking care of these horses and helping them get a second chance at living, hopefully they all will go to loving homes where they will be wanted, loved and taken care of properly. An old saying I know of … no hoof no horse, and many times this is so. Thanks to your farrier, these horses have a better chance to be able to walk more normally. Miracles do happen, Halo is actually beautiful, she has progressed well from where she once was. Oh, just wanted to say, if people get the wrong type of farrier, they can actually harm more than help a horse with hoof problems. I remember hearing of one many years ago who did sloppy work on horses hooves, he was banned from doing any more of that type of work. 👍❤️🙏🏼
Ooohh good old Dr Jim :)
INCREDIBLE! What a story of Halo. Well done to you all and Paul doing his magic. What a transformation. Fabulous to witness. I hope they threw the book at the perpetrator(s). Thank you for sharing. YOU ALL ROCK! Hope Happy is happier and knows she can carry a rider x
Good to see Dr. Jim. Nate is just a jack of all trades! He is unbelievable working alone trying to get the vet barn built. You all work so hard for the horses. Wow Halo is really in bad shape in just a year?
Halo is a beautiful horse. God bless you all for helping these poor animals. You all have definitely earned your wings warms my heart to see the good progress that all of you are doing. God bless you all.
Halo broke my heart. I've watched you guys for a while, I love what you do it's heart warming.
I don't believe Happy was happy. lol
I have to say I enjoyed the way we got to see the progress in detail of halo looking better and better every time! Thank you for doing this you all are amazing!😊🧡💜🧡
Wow at his patients !
At least these two Percherons are not all skinny. I didn’t look at their feet but at least they’re not all skinny looking. can you imagine what halo would’ve been like if she would’ve been taken care of since she’s even in good shape as she is with those feet. You can’t get mad at Halo for moving around. That must be just torment for her although it sure it feels better it’s just like so odd for her poor baby do a good job Polly I know you will. Look at Halo’s sweet face.
Keep doing the good work.

Really missed your videos so great to see this latest episode.
Much respect y’all!! 😊
Likely too late, but it can be helpful to run a clean paint roller over the paneling to make sure its pressed down to the glue. A low nap one on a good metal frame.
Wow she was in a bad way when you got her .But she is looking wonderful now so glad you got her before it was too late for her.
