As sad as it is to rescue a horse and then have to put to sleep, I always think it nice that you can show them kindness and love before doing that last act of kindness and setting them free.

Thank you for going out and being a voice for these beautiful animals! The Big Lick is Big Sick! No creature should be treated like this!!!! You're amazing!

I am not a horsey person but have subscribed because I am seriously impressed with your set up and what you are doing. (UK retired livestock farmer).

Bless you!

Tawney & Jason , and the entire team are amazing people. I love Horse Rescue Heroes !

thank you for what all of you do for these beautiful horses, donkeys and mules(&for the little kitten biscuit)💕💕💕...I think it's an absolute shame what some people do to the Tennessee Walkers, just for the "show,"...smh...thank you for protesting against these selfish and torturous tactics!!!

Thank you so much for protesting the draconian practice of soring!

Freaking HATE BIG LICK!! I’m with you, social distanced supporting from CA.....🙏🏼🤍

I have rheumatoid arthritis. Right knee replaced. Left knee is bone on bone. I know the pain and appreciate the last act of kindness for these precious horses

You Wonderful Wonderful People ❤️👍. Following from Dublin, Southern Ireland 🇮🇪.

How is the Big Lick still legal? Glad we don’t have it in Idaho or I would have to protest everyday!!! It makes absolutely no sense to me how anyone thinks this is not animal cruelty!!!

Thank you for helping abused cruelty for human pleasure. That gate is not natural for any four legged animal. Prayers for you and your beautiful horses 👍🏼💋💋❤️🌵🇺🇸

All animals suffer at the hands of humans. The big lick is so freaking disgusting!!!! 😔 thank you for being their voice Edit: gosh I can't believe how many were lost in one day. I'm curious if the previous owners know what happened or if they even care.

@victoria _anne He didn't contest that, unless he made another comment and deleted it. He just said most animals are treated with respect and love, which is true.

I'm sorry you get so much crap for having to put some of these horses down. You are doing the right thing. Just know that there are a LOT of us out here that have had to make these decisions and we understand how hard it is.

Thankyou for stopping big lik

So many of your rescues this time going over the rainbow bridge, at least they’re no longer in pain and their last day was spent with love and care.

I knew it! Knew Miles wasn't coming back when he went home with her for the weekend. lol

I protested the Big Lick classes at horse shows on the Illinois/Wisconsin border back in the 80s & 90s. How is this abomination STILL legal anywhere? Disgusting. Thank you for poking the bear and reminding these sociopaths that there are people watching them abuse their horses. Also, thank you for giving us the update on Biscuit/Miles. I'm so happy he went home with Sarah. I think it was pretty much a done deal the second he came out of that bag, hahaha.

My heart Omg poor baby's 💔 Omg omg omg🤢🤮🤮🤮 How is this not absolutely Abolished.... This is A Criminal Act Of Animal's terrible being Abused How can our Society tolerate this??? My god... God bless you all for all your wonderful work an love an compassion you share.... This made me cry...

Sarah is such a darling.

When I am able to get a horse I will definitely be coming to you guys first

Thank you so much for saving those poor horses, God bless you!!

Age and pain isn't good. It's time to let God have them back so they can live free and happy.

I feel so bad for the poor horses

You guys are incredibly amazing Tawny. Your love and absolute devotion to helping these poor forgotten babies. And it's so,so sad when u try so hard but in the end the vet says there's nothing u can do. It's an absolute shame that nothing can be done to prosecute the heartless people that neglect their animals then dump them at a sale barn!😡 like the little one with the broken down back! To lose its life at such a young age due to complete ignorance! Makes me so mad!😡so glad u were there to help. Much love to u all...❤❤❤❤❤

I love watching your videos and all the time and energy you put into every horse you get. You are a blessing for all these horses. God bless you always and supply all your needs for all the auctions you go to to save these horses.

I’ve been doing my part in fighting the big licks for awhile now, and I can’t even believe it still. Thank you for everything you do, I want to donate ASAP.

🙏 Thank you so much ❤ for being the voice of any animal that needs one! 🙏 ❤You do amazing work💖 I'm very happy of what you guys do and your crew for all the poor animals🧡..

These videos are so great. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for using your voices against the Big Lick. It is a literal nightmare!

Can't wait to meet Liberty this coming up Thursday

I wonder how the people who apply caustic and other tortures to horses would like to have this same thing done to them? I do not understand why the so-called authorities are looking the other way. Perhaps the money is talking yet again.

Those poor horses.

The horse with the arthritic knee got to me... I have severely arthritic knees too. 😔

You’re awesome!

I always knew tennessee walkers were a gaited breed & knew they do some weird, less than "comfortable" things to get them to move in such an "exaggerated way," but omg... I had NO IDEA it was something so extreme & so awful & barbaric! If you're going to that extreme to make an animal move like that, something tells me you're probably doing something YOU SHOULDN'T BE!!! I'll repeat- "HOW IS THIS LEGAL"!? ugh. Disgusting.

I just came across your channel and the wonderful work you all do...thank you. I could almost feel the sense of relief, joy and kindling of hope when these sensitive animals first disembark from the truck to your property...it was lovely to see. Also totally agree with your mature, ethical and pragmatic approach to euthanisia for the animals which cannot be saved. It would be a further cruelty to prolong their suffering and again thank you for giving them the gift of peace and comfort at the end, this is one of the nicest, most hopeful and reaffirming actions that I have seen of late, thank you. I could see how exhausted you all were after intake of saved horses, you work so hard and deserve all the support you need. It is terrible that many people have the excess you need to perform good work yet do not spend it wisely for good purpose. I cannot give much but will do what I can. Best wishes to you all, I cannot say thank you enough.

Thank you so much for the job your doing! Courageous people.

Thank you for all your work.

Y'all are the best

Keep up the protest!!! Cruety at it's worse on horses!!!!! Horrible!!!!! Hate this!!!! 👍😥

I hope the older couple who adopted the donkey adopts a friend for him . It's sad he be alone in a field with no friend . Donkeys like company .x

The kitten is a lilac burmese

I'm surprised more horses aren't returned because the adopters have a hard time equaling or exceeding the care and freedom the horses get at your facility. The few horses that are returned look very happy to be "home".

I kinda wish horse prosthetics was more affordable, Money could have had a new leg if it wasn't so expensive. There's been plenty of horse who lived because they were given a new leg.

Ive thought about this soooo many times.. Just imagine them like half robotic makes me smile during the hard times watching.

To watch the big kick horses actually makes me nauseous! I had horses for 30 yrs and NEVER liked what "those" Tennessee Walker PEOPLE do to the breed. The natural movement is very beautiful and the natural way of moving is so smooth and wonderful to watch! The breeders and trainers need to be embarrassed by what they do! I would take an all natural beautiful Tennessee Walker to the Rodeo circuit and do a professional showing/ exhibition! Then show a rescued horse that shows the results of the "big lick" training! To teach the public is where the power i!!

I wish I was in America so I can adopt horses and donkeys

How is this legal????!😡 this is horrible.. I rescue as well. Thank you for all you do💕🙏

Very humbling! I AM AMAZED AT ALL THE THINGS BEAUTIFUL THAT YOU DO! I'm speechless ,in complete shock and all your staff are great Jason's the best and you guys compliment EACHOTHER in this endeavor. I'm sure it is thankless and people couldnt begin to assess the sacrifices that you healers and helpers make on the daily. Bless you,...I'm giving you all the golden buzzer and you are making a HUGE IMPACT KEEP PRESSING. For some reason Noel Fitzpatrick keeps coming to mind when I see some aspects of what you deal with. The Supervet has unlimited possibilities. KZread SUPERVET.

I like to do it back to the horses owners see if they like it. Should of been banned years ago. It's not funny or big it's cruel, breaks my heart 💔 to see horses be treated like that.

This has always made me sick, those monsters need to be charged for animal cruelty!!

It had always amazed me that the big lick community think of themselves as horse people, horse enthusiasts, horse lovers,when nothing could be further from the truth. I want to know where is the big money that keeps this from being outlawed? What they do to those horses is sadistic barbaric abuse there is nothing beautiful or elegant about it.They are just a sorry lot.

If seeing these videos of the horrible abuses and fates of these kill pen horses breaks your heart, I beg you to consider other animals who experience these horrors, also. Cows, goats, pigs, sheep and their babies go through this, too. Find out where your animal products come from if you choose to eat them. Find the most humane source (perhaps a small, local farm or hunting for your meat). P.s. I recently bought a horse rescued from a kill pen. She is doing amazing, and is a very great mare in every way!

MMILES AND SARAH LOOK ALIKE. THYE BOTH HAVE BIG EYES, HAPPY FACES AND SWEET PERSONALITIES.

I could not do this work I would Love to But I would be crying Like i am right now every single time i went to the auction or seen the animals. I don't understand how people do this to any animal let alone a sweet innocent horse. I loved horses from the age of 5 years old my mother could not get me on a fake riding horse until she got me on a friends mustang cross mare. I don't know why people don't take proper care of there animals yes if you have an animal it takes money and love but if you can't OR WON'T spend the money it takes to take care of an animal then you should not have that animal.

How cruel to ruin a horse for a gait. Good grief how damn cruel...greed as ever...

That's why I don't show horses or care to see that happen to any animal. It's so sad.

There’s no way I could take a Siamese for just a weekend! They are amazing cats. So cute. At the right place at the right time. Such a blessing. What is coggins? I’ve watch many videos waiting to hear what that means but I haven’t heard yet. And what does foundered mean? I have an idea but I’d like to know 4sure. Thank you

Do you guys know about the "CLOUD" therapeutic boots they make for horses prone to foundering or that are in the latter stages of laminitis? Maybe they could be something you guys a could put on your Amazon "Wish List"? Cuz I know they ARE extremely expensive- I think they were like, $250+ each boot & we had a pair for my old man who struggled with foot problems his whole life & started to founder in his mid twenties as well... They were like... Well, kind of like a "high heels slipper"?? Lol at a lack for better words... They just slip on & velcro all around their foot- and they help relieve some of the weight off of the coffin bone while keeping the hoof in alignment & try to keep the horse sound & comfortable while they're having painful laminitis symptoms... I dunno if they're a product you guys would or could use, but they really seemed to make my old boy a lot more comfortable in the last year or two I had him before we finally had to put him down for numerous reasons- one of which just simply being that he was a 16.2h appy/tb gelding who I had competed in 3 day Eventing & dressage for almost 15yrs & he was coming up on 28 long years, and it was just his time for that decision to be made & for Dallt to join the others in that happy horse pasture in the sky... Too bad those boots for used SO WELL when we had them (& boy did they SMELL! PHOOOEEY!) We had to just throw them away when he was put down- I had hoped I could donate them to a horse rescue or something... But they were just too "well used," besides the SMELL lol. Wonderful product though!! I really recommend them to anyone dealing with horses with founder/laminitis issues, even though they are pricey- they're a wonderful "assistant" product to use alongside good farrier care!

while I‘m not saying that Europe doesn‘t also have some animal welfare problems (very much dependent on the country you‘re in, Switzerland for example has the toughest protection laws in the world, Romania continually has problems) I don‘t think any country allows whatever they are doing to those poor walking horses ... I just can‘t believe there are competitions or shows centered around abuse. I know some competition riders might have some doubtfull training methods, but around here they would try everything to hide those and animals are routinely vet checked for signs of abuse or doping on any event ...

There must be some state Political corruption, with payoffs, for big lick to operate in this state! Can this be addressed by the Federal Government?

Holy jumpin. Who thinks of all this stupid stuff to do to these poor animals

its really sad

I need more videos of horses playing with balls

Do the adoption fees get used to pay for all the vet treatments vaccines tests food ect for the horses and to purchase more horses that need help?

Well... Ya haha what else

There is no good reason big lick or horse racing should legal. Like the only reason that isn't a flat out lie (ie. we don't drug them, we don't sore them) as to why they shouldn't be illegal is that "It shows horse's beauty" Clearly they've never seen horses running in a pasture because that is the most beautiful thing on the planet.

Please keep resquering these sick horses. Its better for them to come to you people than end up in a cruel slaughter house.

People need to realise that donkeys bond for life!! Please don't just get one donkey, at least get a pony or horse to bond with.....

Cruelty of the highest abuse ie big lick🤬🤬

where do i apply to volunteer , i really want to learn more about horses and eventually get my own. my uncle is a real cowboy and had horses that passed away .Hes 85 now and isnt able to teach me hands on .

Are two of the girls twins? They are identical! I think one is named Sarah? not sure. Both have long hair one wears her hair down and wears a baseball cap. The other has braids.

So can those enthusiasts achieve those results without the chemicals , it looks hard on the joints also. I've never been around that type of showing....I use my vacuum cleaner backwards or cold hair dryer to blow up my horse ball.

Are these horses for sale? I've always wanted to own a rescue horse with a backstory.

I found a TikTok account of a big lick supporter. They say that they don't sore their horses and thorough vet checks occur. Does this still make it abuse? Just trying to learn! 😊

When I was looking into it because I was also trying understand, there were the accusations of abuse and then the defenders saying that those things don't happen anymore. (Anymore?) I know Tawney has shown walkers that Horse Plus has rescued with the scars and sores on their ankles and the strangely shaped and angled hooves. The vets at the shows can't be everywhere and there are issues with drugging to hide pain and bribery. The big lick is very popular and I think the people involved don't want outside "do gooders" messing with their traditions. They are very defensive and resistant about changes. All I know is when I watch films of horses doing the Big Lick, it looks unnatural and painful. That hyper extension of the knees and those big clompy blocks on their feet must surely wear on a horse's legs and tendons and joints. I think about how much it hurts if I step wrong and hyper flex my knee. I can't imagine being forced to do that round and round a ring. I also had heard that to get the waterfall affect of a Big Lick's tail they sometimes break it and bind it to heal fused. I really don't know about that one but it seems to fit with the other things people are willing to do to those poor horses. I've decided that for myself there were too many questions about abuse and the the Big Lick was terribly unnatural and painful for the horses. I decided I would not support groups that promoted or allowed the Big Lick. I think there are enough questions to err on the side of caution.

There are very wealthy people involved and wealthy politicans and that means bad things continue when they shouldn’t. And there is alot of money made on these poor big lock horses….so that means there’s an incredible incentive to keep doing it….so the big lick supporters lie and bribe people, vets included. They are constantly looking for ways to get around the rules. One of the big lock shows that was on this channel , there was a lot of on duty law enforcement there. ( not off duty cops making extra money ) The local sheriffs and chief of police are either bribed or doing “favors” for the politicans. And the politicans do “favors” formthe law enforcement …… Why should a horse show have so many police there, if everything is aboveboard and legal, no cruelty? I’m a native Tennessean ( my family has lived there for a very long time) and it’s common knowledge about the corruption around the Tennessee Walking Horse Big Lick soaring process. ….and the corruption of some of the law enforcement in areas surrounding these shows…..the shame is, these horses have a natural gaite that is just amazingly smooth….the big lick is a travesty, an un natural exaggeration of the natural gaite………this gait is different than all other horses gaites…it’s beautiful to see and beautiful to ride a Naturally shod Tennessee Walking Horse .

You should take the ones you rescue as examples of their cruelty… shove it in their faces. Or at least photos and ids of those injuries and the ones who have had to be put down as a result of” Big Lick” practices… pictures don’t lie… they couldn’t despute it if there is evidence…
