Someone replied to me after I suggested they look at the work you do, they said that you put down too many horses, to which I replied . . . . . . . . You do know that Horse Plus Humane Society takes in any animal even those who should have been put down by their owners long ago? Do you watch their videos? They get high numbers of neglected Amish horses in pretty rough shape that were not given vet care or euthanized but sold at slaughter price to squeeze that last dollar out of the animal. During their buy out they do not discriminate, they buy everything off the trucks and trailers in adoptable condition, to rehabilitate or in need of euthanasia, upon intake each animal is triaged, given proper vet care including, microchipped, wormed, vaccinated, teeth floating on really bad cases, onsite bloodwork and radiographs, as well at a later date any necessary surgeries, teeth floats, castrations and farrier care. Critical animals are given priority. Decisions are made on quality of life. Would you rather they were selective and took only the adoptable horses to keep euthanasia numbers down and let the rest ship to slaughter? She deleted her snotty comment.

I think that one of the greatest things this world is missing the most, is compassion and empathy. All the naysayers and haters complaining about what Horse Plus does, these people do not imagine themselves in the horse's shoes, they do not imagine what pain fear and agony it must feel, to BE that horse (or other critter), and thus they fail to see the COMPASSION it takes, to give those animals that last act of kindness, the release of that extreme agony. Empathy is the ability to imagine what it is like to be someone else. Compassion is what it is to act in the best interest of that animal, even at the pain of saying good bye and having to admit that we are not god, and we cannot fix everything. This is why there are haters, and kill buyers. And this is also why there are those of us who do everything we can, to make a positive change in this world.

I'm particularly stunned by both the severely deformed horse and the expensive horse with the trailer floor injuries. I don't understand how either original owner thought slaughter was the solution. With the deformed horse, I know things can be done for each of the individual conditions when they're new foals, but hot damn that's a lot of issues all at once. It's clear to be that euthanasia very early on would have been the humane choice. As for the $10,000 horse, how do you spend that kind of money on what looks like a very well bred horse and then be so careless handling it?

In my area of the country, Rocky Mountains, I had a terrible event where I needed to have my severely ill mare put down. She showed no signs of any issues until one morning I heard a funny noise coming from the barn. After investigating I finally figured out it was this mare. My vet was out of town, the on call vet showed up way after dark, REFUSED to "give up" on my mare. Gave her a steroid injection, left the brand new vet to take care of anything else and left. The brand new vet, drew blood for a blood panel, saying she would call in the morning and left. Next morning go out to check my mare. I could hear her roaring as she struggled to breathe, way before I got to the barn. Call my vet's office to see if they knew of any one who could come out and put her down. They didn't. The brand new vet called around noon to see how Miranda was doing, I told her I wanted her put down. SHE TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T DO THAT! Called all the horsey friends that didn't use my vet to see if I could use another one. Called one, he refused to put down a horse that wasn't one of his clients. The upshot, the new vet was able to get in contact with my vet who was at a conference out of state (cell phones were still somewhat of a novelty). He told her that since I had had Miranda for several years, my opinion to put her down was valid. Apparently, this was also the first time new vet had tried to put a horse down. My wonderful mare ended up getting poked over and over and over again before the vet was able to hit a vein and put her down. A gun would have been more merciful. So IMO we need to have some sort of system where a person could take their beloved horse to be euthanized in a humane way that didn't cost hundreds of dollars to do so. I think this would be a godsend for people who have a horse/pony that they've had for decades, possible their entire life, a child's beloved mount but circumstances have entered into the picture where they can no longer care for their horse and cannot find anyone to take them. As Tawnee has stated, don't give your beloved horse away as lots of times they do end up in the slaughter pipeline. I also know that HPHS has taken in voluntary surrenders for the "last act of kindness." Maybe their voluntary surrender could go national also...

Tawnee, I’m glad you told people what happens in Mexico. I couldn’t look into it myself as I knew it would be too upsetting but, I know by telling people, it will hopefully stop them questioning why you have to give the last act of kindness to horses. You should never have to justify your actions because your vets will never euthanise a healthy horse, it literally is the very last option. The fact people put you in the position to have to spell it out, is as cruel as the abusers themselves. I think sometimes it’s forgivable because it may be young people questioning, they don’t understand how critical a horse can be, yet it’s still standing. They don’t understand and feel there’s hope, but horses hide severe illness and injury so well. The ones that are unforgivable are the ones old enough and educated enough to know better. They don’t bother to look past the end of their noses, they’re a minority but boy do they shout the loudest. In my opinion, they’re as bad as the abusive owners. Not only do they want to leave a horse suffer unbearable pain but they want to abuse the only people who are doing something loving for that horse. Sorry to write an essay, I just wanted you to know you’re appreciated so much for every life you make better.

The owner rarely, if ever came in with the horse, but some did send someone to represent it (to make sure potential buyers knew what an expensive horse they were looking at) in order for the owner to get as much money out of the horse as possible. These owners that would spend tens of thousands to purchase or breed their horses, but the minute the horse is injured they'd dump them at a sale and try to get a little money out of them when they could easily afford to do the right thing. On the other hand, I've watched other people with far less, take out a second mortgage to try to save their horse that they pulled out of the kill pen at a sale for a couple of hundred bucks. A fancy place full of world class horses is no guarantee of safety or a good home for the horses. It's often "strictly business" for some or they're just "replaceable livestock" to others.

The horse that fell through the trailer is doing better. We performed surgery, and she is healing up wonderfully.

at least they have hay food and water and their nightmare has ended - they are now in the right place were they should be and well looked after

So painful to watch 😢. Dr. Lydia you are one hard working lady, your not above doing some dirty work... very commendable, I admire you. I hope you are able to save the beautiful 10,000 dollar horse, he deserves it. Thank you All of you for your hard work and compassion. Love you guys ❤

Asking about a suitable name for the poor mare whose back legs went through the cotton floor of a trailer I thought that Phoenix would be appropriate as she will be starting a new, happier life if all goes well which I am praying that it does. I know that Dr Lydia and co will do their up most to save this poor soul. Great work one and all Full respect. 👍👌💓💓

I love all the clean hay as they come of the trailer. Soft landing and a snack! Great idea.

I really hope the horse that broke through the trailer floor can be saved! I hope the horse can recover and live a happy, great life

So far its healing wonderfully!

❤❤Jason, thank you so much for the "almost live" intake video! I really enjoy all the hard work you do to get this out so quickly. Praying for HP and all those precious horses/donkeys that arrived today.❤❤

What a team! Bravo! for all your efforts trying to save as many as you can. Fingers crossed for the mare who dropped through a trailer floor. She is a beautiful horse. They are all precious. Humans need to do better by them.

Tawnee it is not just the auction/slaughter scenario which needs to change radically in the 🎉USA but educating people generally in the care of equines PRIOR to actually buying a horse. Also anyone found to have abused equines should face criminal charges,,and if found hiilty, be banned from owning horses, or othrr animals for a long time. Hopefully your Education Outreach will have a positive outcome.

Thank you for all you do, this is desperately difficult but essential work. You are making a difference, and your wonderful team is enlightening even the most stubborn naysayers.

Soldiers of Kindness, thank you, australia!

We're all glad Tory is back!

Oh my god, that little black horse with the broken back…the look in her eyes almost pleading that it finally stops hurting…how awful to ship a horse around in this condition…😢

I had an appointment yesterday so l couldn't watch til just now. And also having such guilt & shame that I have not been able to send anything for about 2 months now. My donations are not regular or large because I am below the poverty line for Ontario. But it has meant the world to me to be able to send anything to help, even if only buys a bag of food for the dogs or cats that are there too. I absolutely LOVE Donkeys too and am so very sorry l can't help today. But l thankful, for eternity, that you are there.THANK❤YOU HPHS!!! ♥️🐎♥️🤗♥️☘️🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦🕊

I was just watching a you tube video earlier about Bo Derek and it mentioned that she has a lot to do with stopping horse slaughter ..so hopefully soon this horrible trade will stop with enough support..please god ..great work as always guys much love from the UK x

The problem is there are so many unwanted horses that will never find homes. As horrible as it sounds there is a need for slaughter facilities but with humane methods and constant checking.

I think uncontrolled breeding has to stop.

I had a mare that was bucking around a paddock and through her back legs over top of a barbed wire fence and I had to do the same thing that they're talking about right now with wrapping I didn't have water therapy for a but she did it in winter time so we had to scrub her down everyday we couldn't wrap because it was right in the Hawks but she turned out beautifully Yes she did have scars I'm hopeful that this one will be like what she was and she was a great mare and but she was peer thoroughbred but this mayor looks absolutely beautiful even with those in my eyes course I'm 66 and I miss my old mare

Pls get a ramp for those trailers yous have, in England we don't have those jump on/jump off trailers, we have ramps which will limit pain on loading/unloading for those poor disabled creatures. All decent vet hospitals here have ramps to lessen injury and pain on unloading. I'd be happy to fund something bespoke made to fit your existing boxes. With love from England.x

When we were in Mexico we visited a composting sight!!! It was horrific!!! They do not kill the horses first!! They hoist them up & drop them into a giant grinder alive!!! The horses scream until about half their bodies are ground up!!! We all vomited during the experience!!! We couldn't wait to get out of their!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

A big thank you to donors who help make this Rescue possible. Through time and experience horse plus has assembled a great team. All having great compassion for these animals in such great need. It’s obvious they all care. Thank the Lord for this team and donors for making it possible to help so many horses. Each and every one of u make the world a better place In the face of such suffering. I pray that the neglecters see there part in Contributing to the animals, suffering, and change their ways. That they may remember the golden rule an implement it in their life. Thank you horse plus we’re making it possible for people to come together to help horses and best wishes on all the new legislation you’re trying to get past. If they could stop accepting horses like this at auction and start holding the neglecters , responsible for animal cruelty as it should be. We would come a long way to stopping the suffering.

That poor horse. How do people not get in trouble for this!!!!

I'm super happy ya'll are giving her a chance! She is a beautiful bay with her black and white socks. She seems very sweet.

Where do l start? I'll start at the beginning..those first 11 off the trailer l think only 2..3 tips are ok. All the others have crossed the 🌈 bridge.. They're now out of horrendous pain..literally walking on their ankles, some of them were that bad.. Those two poor brood mares who were bred and bred without giving their bodies time to heal, and now they're in constant pain with something Dr. Lydia has never seen in all her yrs as a vet and equine specialist..that little pony..again walking on his coffin bone..that poor poor horse with so much wrong with it..broken bones..deformities..and ge had FOUR AUCTION STICKERS ON HIM..ffs people 😢😢 what are you doing to these beautiful creatures..The horse with a massive wound on it's withers..probably ridden without a blanket..or someone way too heavy..one with a hole in its side..and then that absolutely stunning horse who had gone through the trailer floor..!! They pay $10,000 for a horse put it in a crappy trailer and this happened..a 10% chance..please please please pray 🙏 for this beautiful young filly..she desperately needs help..and we know Dr.Lydia and Dr Gina will do all they can to save her..God l hope and pray 🙏 that her bones are not damaged or have infection in them which is just as bad..but going straight to the vet hospital to be cleaned up with water pressure to get all that dirt and grime off those awful wounds..and that tomorrow when they sedate her to examine more closely the damage that they are able to try and save her life..its going to be a long journey with daily water therapy and dressings.. but she is in the best place with these wonderful vets to give her that chance..so lord.. no infection in the joints and no broken bones, please.. l smiled when l saw the lovely Donkeys 🫏 🫏🫏🫏..I'm like Caitlyn..l adore donkeys..l can see a few of them making their way to Caitlyn and Korys home😊..God Bless you all..🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👏👍👏👍🐴🐴🐴🫏🫏🫏🐎🐎🐎🐎😢😢😢🇺🇸

This first bunch was one of the worst I've seen. WTF are people doing? It's called a throw away society and not taking accountability. It's called "passing the buck". Horrible and despicable.

Intake days are tough. I'll keep the sweet deglove mare in my prayers.

Dr. Lydia is amazing. That woman does it all.

Aren't these horses ones that would go to auction if they weren't intercepted. To the same auction that kicked you out? If so, I'll bet they regret that move but glad for the horses that they did.

Yes. People have heard about the buy out the HP is doing now. So bless the horses that do not have to go through auction.

Troy is so genuinely loving and gentle with the horses.

send my prayers are with the horses and donkeys and cats and dogs and my prayers are with you all

What the H is wrong with people to allow their horses to suffer like these poor animals?!? And what the H is wrong with the judicial system that allows such pain and suffering to exist without any detriment to the former owners?!? It is infuriating to me and I can only imagine what you guys go through each and every time you have an intake day. Thank you for giving them the last act of kindness where necessary and for doing your best for all the rest. God bless you all.

That last mare will be fine. Seen much worse than this heal. She's healthy and young. Horses can heal themselves. Don't overdo it! She'll be 🙂

I noticed that little dunn mare.She kind of hung around someone has taught her how to ground tie... She is beautiful.I wish I lived closer...

It seems the auction ban may be a blessing for the equines because you are getting more of them.

My thoughts exactly.

My thoughts and prayers for the sweet precious mare that has hurt back legs may God be with her in this time of need and healing and love for her my heart goes out to her ❤

10% is 10% and its better then 0%. So lets hope for the best. You are amazing, you are true heroes.

Wow! I'm at a loss for words which is not normal for me. Through the tears I want to say WELL, WELL DONE ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU! It is so good to see Troy back. Wondered where he had gone. Hope to see Hayley soon. X

I'm so glad you are able to intervene on the kill buyer and the auction I am so proud to be a member of your team and will continue to be a member thank you

Am balling my eyes out here...how terribly cruel people are.

I wish I had vet students. That hit me. Poor mare.

It’s called ethical standards if watching these rescues makes you feel anything then your the person Horse Plus needs because it’s the ones that turn an eye that condone and perpetuate this appalling cruelty. Horse Plus needs everyone’s support so please don’t be the one to turn an eye step up to the plate and be a Horse Plus Hero.🤩🤩🤩🇦🇺🇦🇺
