The darling pony that is running for joy is indeed the same one you rescued only a short time before! Her spirit had been wounded, but it recovered under your care. She was a smart girl who trusted your staff. A HPHS miracle. Your detractors should be ashamed to have not believed! 🤠💓🐴💗

It just highlights how crushed and emotionally broken they are to end up at the auction. I don’t think people consider how frightened they are. It’s very sad.

Thank God for are there. What an amazing place and you all are amazing people. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

I love the fact that you allow your young helpers to develope and hone their skills in so many areas. They are so knowledgeable and confident in horse training, care and health, business management, personnel management, public relations, public speaking, charitable fund raising, website development and video making. Also, responsibility and hard work. And they get to do it all while working with beautiful horses. Wow. These skills will give them a great basis going forward, no matter what they do. You are so nurturing to everything around you. You want everything to achieve their best life. Kudos.

For horses with we call 'witch's knots' in their tails or manes, Cowboy Magic is awesome. I was able to save a gelding's tail when my brother-in-law was ready to cut it all off. Looked a lot like that tail. Leaves it super silky and smooth, and doesn't attract dirt.

All the workers at this organization do an amazing job with all animals rescued from auction. My mom and I used to do the same thing. We would go to an auction and find skinny and malnourished horses and with the right treatment and tlc they transform into beautiful creatures. We rescued a thoroughbred named 3 times lucky from a slaughter buyer for $350.00. we looked up her tattoo under her lip and she was stolen from cornell university in ny. She was there for surgery due to a bowed tendon. We called up the college and they contacted owner who signed her over to us for rescuing her. She had some injuries from stray dogs and owners had to pay for vet bills. When she was healthy and sound we sold her to a lovely family as a trail horse. We did background checks and family had nothing on their record. We did a property check to make sure she wouldn't get hurt and that environment was safe before she was handedover and money exchanged hands. We rescued, rehabilitated and I trained the green or wild horses. Please keep up the amazing work.thank you for doing what you can to safe animals from undeserved fate.

I rescued a beautiful foal and she was to be my next riding partner because my mare that I rode for years deserves to be retired and just enjoy life. It came time to put Velvet into training and she kept coming up lame. She was three at the time. We discovered she has a bone disease and is not rideable. She is now 7 and every day is a gift to have her. I will love and take care of her until the vet tells me her quality of life is failing. Then I will be thankful that I got to love her and do what is right for her! Thank you for all you do. I have the utmost respect for your work❤️Love from Idaho

Pony went from hopeless to Heaven. Feeling alive again!!

Tawnee: Don’t worry about people that have nothing better to do than criticize your truly heroic work!! That beautiful pony is free from the stressful environment and finally has room to run free. Thank goodness for caring people like you. Also, anyone who has some degree of common sense and insight enough to see a “ genuine” person doing heroic, selfless work with your level of commitment, would know you’re the “real deal,”

I love when they lift their lips up and yawn and smile its so damn cute.

I am so happy that there are still these people one earth that care for animals! 💖🌸

Keep doing your best for these horses

Wow! That pony is so happy that you rescued it! What a beautiful color. Good job!

People always have something negative to say. You have to let it roll off your back and just keep on moving. You're doing good work and don't worry about them. It's amazing what food and hydration will do for an animal. They obviously haven't watched the videos of the horses. Just guzzling down water when get to your place. You can tell they're just so happy to have something to drink.

This vet just loves that 4 day antibodic

I give you hard working people big CONGRATS 🥳 for saving these poor abused animals. Love ❤️ what you’s are doing. We need more caring people to save these Beautiful animals👍👍👍👍. Love ❤️ from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

keep doing what you do. no matter what you do, you're either not doing enough, not doing it right. Always alot of people who are back seat drivers and yet they are not willing to do the hard work themselves. I can't understand why you don't have more subscribers. I enjoy your videos even if some of them are hard to see.

You know they won’t want to lie on concrete. Pads of some kind will be wanted. Pads are heavy and stay put. I had horses on concrete and I had pads. The horses chose the pads over the concrete. At home I did pads over stone dust or 2b modified. It works well for me.

You're an amazing photographer! That picture is amazing!❤️❤️❤️

God bless you all for all of the hard work and dedication you put into taking care of the horses and other animals you have at the rescue. Joanne in Illinois

I'd say, its jealousy of many people, their envious that she make such a good thing of the horses, and that most, of the ones she gets, get a second chance......thats my opinion

Thank you for all you do! Theres always haters out there you can tell it's the same horse! Some people should just keep there negative comments to themselves

Trying to give a good suggestion for alternative sheltering for a lot of horses that are lame . Don't need people saying I am a Debby downer.. saving money for a shelter needs it all the time is not being negative and didn't appreciate those type of comments. I am 67 and had horses all my life so not someone who doesn't know about horses

And if your talking about which you don't say... But your all full of crap....there was no put down at all just a suggestion.... There are way too many horses with something wrong with feet or legs to be standing on hard concrete and even if they did concrete should put mats down just as easy to clean....just as in a barn..... SO DONT GO GROUOING ME WITH THE GRUOP OF HATERS ON INTERNET....BECAUSE YOUR TALKING OUT YOUR BUTT THINKING YOU KNOW ANYTHING....YOUR JUST A LOUD MOUTH THAT LIKES ARGUING

Sometimes, it doesn't take much to turn an animal around.

do people not realize a pony or dog or cat can feel a sense of relief when they feel safe .

14:58 how can someone not be able to tell that that is the same pony? It looks exactly the same, but healthier. Same colour mane, but shinier and prettier. Same coat colour, but shinier and in better condition.

DUH! LOOOOOOOOK AT THE PONY'S MARKINGS DUH...SAME HORSE! LOOK AT MANE...DUH!!!!!!!!!!!! SAME HORSE!

For a tail like Laredo's, wash with a decent shampoo and warm water. Use a bucket if he doesn't like the hose. Apply a really good conditioner for moisturizing like Pantene Intense Moisture and work it in well. Start from the end and use the pick you are currently using (blue one) or one with longer tines. In about two hours he will have a tail that will need to be trimmed because it will drag on the ground! (I'm speaking from experience).

What a beautiful pony. It looks very happy now!

I love you guys and what you do. You and your rescue are amazing. I wish I lived closer so I could hug and thank each and every one of ya"ll in person. This will have to do "THANK YOU (hug hug hug)". I have rescued on a small scale my whole adult life and seen many amazing transformations in short times. PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!

Internet trolls and ignorant people are the worst but TRUTH trumps a lie any day, anytime!!💜🐎💜

quick hint for those awful knotty tails and manes... bet u already know.... start combing out at the end and work your way up - no joke - takes longer but less painful and way easier! Have fun! Thanks for ll you do :)

Amazing work you do!

You do a very, very amazing work!!🙏🏻 I think there be a better world, when doubter spend theire time to save animals or just donating in theire vicinity instead of wasting her time on comments…

Y’all are amazing...don’t let the fools get you down 💗

I like what you’re doing it’s helping the animals.

Because I want to rescue a horse

Maybe this person is trying to cause you problems by creating doubt in the eyes of others. You do amazing work by saving these horses from abuse, neglect, and death. At the end of the video anyone can see this is the same horse you rescued. The mane and body are identical. She is carefree and happy. Before the rescue she is in a dark depressing stall, after in a sunny pasture. Lighting can affect the color. No brainer, unless you have no brain or have a nefarious agenda. Keep being a light for these beautiful animals.

You are doing a fantastic job and as a horse owner myself I know how damn hard work it is to look after them but a horse gives you back tenfold. To all the critics why dont you put your money where your mouth is and go to their centre and help. I'm sure they would appreciate it ;)

Love to see that trailer pulling away someone going to a good home! Love your channel and your mission even the ones that have to be put down its beautiful, there last ride is in a safe uncrowded trailer they get out to gentle hands soothing talk a bucket of grain and some green grass who doesn't get that i dont understand. Anyway all the best to you all stay healthy and strong. If i lived anywhere near i would love to volunteer much love from Virginia.

I came across your channel about a week ago and I've been binge watching the episodes... I wish you were based in Canada and I could volunteer my time and help. I grew up riding and have 17+ years experience working with and around horses. My dream is to have property one day in the near future and give a home to some rescues (along with some other farm animal rescues) that need a loving home.

im so happy for you guys, horse plus humane society really inspires me and gives all the love the horses needed before and all go to loving homes. This is all they have ever needed and keep doing your job

Why put down concrete when you know it's not good to stand on it all the time...put stone dust down cheaper and then mats that connect and easy to clean too and better for them and could put mats on wish list

After being in this industry for over 17 years and talking to multiple veterinarians about our sheltering situation we have all come to the conclusion that concrete is the best situation for the amount of horses we have come through in a temporary sheltering environment. Because the horses are not here long term and the concrete would be in the feeding area concrete is perfectly fine for short term sheltering of horses in high traffic areas. We would not recommend this for long-term living situations for horses.

@@hphs I was thinking rubber mats.. but they are really expensive and the horses are only there to be brought back to health and adopted.. mine stood on concrete for a couple of years in the feeding area as that was all i had.. and no money for anything better.. they were fine and better having dry hoofs,, it is better than mud.

its actually good for horses to be exposed to different terrain and hard ground like that, it improves their joints. its not like they're always gonna be on it anyway.

We had the same thing happen with my hubby's horse. She's gorgeous now but when we got her she was bad.

Thank you for doing what you do. Stay safe and God Bless

Love you guys 💕💖❤️

love what you guys do !!

Just FYI any time my horses get bad tangles in tail and mane I have used baby oil if I don't have Show sheen. Thebaby oil works well

The lightning is different one picture is inside in a dimly lit place and the other is outside. Inside the pony is discouraged and no hope. Outside it's running free in a pasture of grass. Of course it looks like a different horse but it's the same one.

Sorry people have to be so negative i saw when you got that pony and yeah people thats what care and love does. and for your staff you have some of the best young people i have seen not only how they handle the animals but how professial they all are with the people that come in to see the horses!!

I know it's tough Tawnee to see some of the crap people put out about HorsePlus and I realize that foul things said can affect your organization detrimentally and I feel for you. It's so hurtful of them to say bad stuff but it seems like some people are just ugly on the inside. I and so many others wouldn't be such avid followers of your organization for such a long time if we didn't believe in you and what you do there so please always keep that in your mind and heart so it can melt away the other stuff. Hugs!

Can I make a suggestion for the horse with the matted tail? From experience with that problem the best thing i found to loosen the matt and make it easy to get out is WD-40. Spray it generously all over the matt rub it with your hands to work it in and then instead of a comb, use a large finishing nail and always start from the bottom and work up. Its easier to pick the knots out with a nail (or a crochet hook) than a comb. You want to pick it out, not comb it out. Then afterwards.. no combs. I never combed or brushed a tail, I pick thru it with my fingers, way less breakage. I love your channel and donate when I can. Thank you for saving who you can and giving a horse down on their luck, a second chance.

Hey did you know that tame hair rinse is awesome for tangle horse hair.

No dislikes at all! People really understand the serious situation these horses have gone through, and are glad to know someone cares so much about them. Awesome job guys! Question: Is there a black horse that has a smooth gait? I love black horses, and I almost fall off the saddle when their gait is bumpy. Last I had ridden a horse was almost 5 years ago. I miss it so much and want to plan out my future knowing what I am getting into.

Tell them it’s the lighting

Fingers crossed for buddy. Curious how much does an X ray machine approximately cost? Anyone know? I'm imagining big bucks!

0:56 at that point I just cut it. When I brush it out when it is in that state it turns out to be very frizzy and the hair seems to be more broken. Or maybe it's just because I'm lazy 😂

My first thought with people saying it’s not the same pony ... if I was in horse meat industry/auctions and wanted to discourage donations or otherwise derail your wonderful rescue ... organizing distrust against you would do it.

i wish i could adopt or even volunteer, but i live in norway :(

I love what you guys are doing good job my name is tina quassy

Regarding the pony that is "not the same pony". That commenter needs glasses - the pony has a very obvious and unique roach back (bumpy vertebra) in its spine just in front of its hindquarters, easily seen in both the before and after photos. Its coat is also very sunbleached in a unique shade and pattern, identical from before to after. Get thee to an optometrist, doubting commenter - it *is* the same pony!

❤❤❤👍👏👏👏

Sorry this has happened, how much do you charge to rescue a horse

😄😄😄

Don’t listen to the people that are negative. I’m sure you don’t have time to trick people. Idiots. There’s always going to be negative people.

Which country do you live in ??

Lol! Hello how the heck can she tell anyway. The pony picture is from inside and then he’s outside. The lighting is different. I think you better go and get doubles for all your rescues so that we think the transformations are amazing. Pppp some people

Unfortunately, there are people (called Club Kids) who troll the internet for the sole purpose of sowing trouble. They post statements and assertions they KNOW are incorrect just to be disruptive. Upsettimg people over lies is their wheelhouse; their power trip. Best thing is to ignore them. Genuine people see the truth and think the Club Kids need to grow up and find something constructive to do, like the workers at Horse Plus.

How can we content you for adoption

That sure seems like a lot of hay waste. I sure hope the concrete helps and that it is not a technique problem. Hay is expensive... I hate hearing about all your hassels!

Thank God the year of the masks are over !

Well this rescue is in TN a red conspiracy state. I think you do a wonderful job and waiting for Animal Planet to pick you up like PitBulls and Parolees. I love animals, wish I had the space and finaces to have horses. I got to tend and ride as a teenager at a cousins fram. Lovedit. Work out a deal with Hillsboro High School in Nashville. They need a burro for a mascot.

please don't spend time feeding the attention needs of trolls. it's what they want. you're calling them back for more by admitting that they got to you with their silliness

D

15:45 Luckily you are an organization with lots of information about yourself, like these videos. And that makes all the difference, you could answer by posting a different photo, that shows that she's still skinny, but that her spirit is why she looks so much better/different. Even so, you can tell the truth and people will still not believe it, just look at Trump supporters.

I love you and your organization. I love everything that you do. But please, don't use your influence to try to get people to do pointless arguments on Facebook. What an absolute waste of time.
