While she is based in New York City, Katie finds it important to get away from city life to appreciate and capture our deep connections to nature and animals. What do you find most inspiring about these resilient horses?

National Geographic Actually, I'm inspired by the people who do this out of the kindness of their hearts. 💖

It's amazing how some people can be so selfless and dedicate their lives to helping other creatures in need. Beautiful picture by the way. Thanks National Geographic for sharing.

It's amazing people complain about other people being selfless just to make them not look selfless.

We too are inspired by the workers at Rosemary Farm Sanctuary for giving these horses a second chance at life, Azliana!

how beautiful it actually is. Human kindness instead of evil should take part everywhere. Thank you

Stories like this gives hope for humanity. That's why we're here on Earth. Reaching out and helping others. Blessings and love to Katie, Nemo, and all of the creatures. NatGeo❤

What a heartwarming story indeed, David! We love how Katie uses the camera to show this intimate and positive relationship between the workers and the rescued horses.

I'm ready for a story that is not dark and gritty. I love horses and their beauty. It's so nice that these guys can just be who they are...not as much of a human connection as a connection with each other. Nemo is really doing well and seems happy. That is amazing. Thank you for your photographs. I am looking forward to your next visit. I am from OK and I know people still feel as if is THE BADLANDS, INDIAN TERRITORY, but our cities are just as far away from the country as a person can get.

I had the pleasure of working with horses a few times... they are beautiful creatures. They're great for helping people with both mental and physical illness.

Ah America really is a beautiful country with beautiful people. This is the America I love. God bless!

Horses are beautiful every time I see one I fall in love and it hurts to know what people can actually do to such a beautiful creature

Very beautiful story . I know it didn't start this way . But these people deserve world attention . Make viral .

It's beautiful to see animals living their lives in peace and not being exploited as "property" for human use.

This is what life should be! Amazing people dedicated to providing a wonderful life for beautiful creatures in need! This is what we should all be doing!!!!

You're right, Rick! We should give all our animal friends second chances at life by providing them with the care and compassion to get back up on their feet, or hooves in this case.

Horses are the most beautiful animals in the world. If I had the power I would rescue these beautiful animals.

I watch stories like this right before bed, it gives me hope for a better tomorrow!

BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL....

She's beautiful.

Yes, some people are amazing, people that dedicate their life to protecting animals... Yes, people are along with animals amazing!

Horses are so majestic

I've worked in both small and large animal rescue for years, and I sit in wonder at the marvel that is an equine with a prosthetic leg. Oh happy day!

Some of these horses may have injuries, but they are still beautiful and certainly powerful! We love how Katie explores the interconnectedness among humans, nature and wildlife in her photography.

Beautiful. If I was a horse, I’d be there

Beautiful

I like that fluffy ball

Great! Hail! Nepal!!!

I have horses and great story , hoses go to slaughter because they are used up not generally because they are dangerous

I know it’s all special effects, but it’s good to see this after watching a lot of Game of Thrones!

humans. smh we think we know and own everything. and i believe once we find other life on other planets we will start killing that too. cancer is humans. BUT im happy that there are at least 20% of humans that are angels and loves all life.

=Way of life with this really deep connection with nature= Please tell me where in this video contains anything natural? Farmland is not natural. Domesticated horses are not natural either. They are a product of years of artificial selection.

That’s tRumps Big Mack meat right there.

I dont like how you all just document the rescue horses but not the wild horses who are being rounded taken to slaughter and sold to the French for horse meat. The least you all could is document that

Guiseppe it is folks like you that helped bring down the price of the average horse in the US, therefore leading to more old horse neglect. Before animal activists got involved it was possible to sell old or crippled horses for slaughter vs just having to euthanize them or pay to have them sit and eat hay at the cost of rancher/farmer. Now a lot of old horses get neglected/malnourished/get poor care by folks who can't really afford to own them. That did not happen as often when they could be brought to auction and sold for meat abroad. I grew up on a cattle ranch and love horses. But when a horse is no longer useful for working on the ranch or farm, selling that horse for slaughter was an economic advantage over just euthanizing it feeding it till it died. I have no problem with anyone eating horse meat.

Horses are called hay burners for a reason, good luck feeding them all for no return.

Sometimes, people spend money to help others because they simply care about those individuals. Not everything people do is for their own personal profit or other exploitive benefit. A few of my friends run sanctuaries and don't exploit the residents for their own purposes. They make money in other ways (fundraisers, donations, plant farming, craft markets, etc). Horses aren't resources. They're not things to serve our desires. They are sentient individuals with the inherent right to their own lives.

Where is the rescue ranch for elderly old homeless humans? Thats great for these old horses, but would rather see a story about some old homeless folks farm where they live out there final days gardening or something. Everyday in LA county I see really old people begging in street but nobody is buying them a farm. Somebody with some money is wasting it on old horses. Take those old horses to some unused BLM ground near a water source. They will be fine and happier. Spend the money on some suffering humans in US.

Why help elderly humans? There are children in need. Until all children are safe and sound, we shouldn't waste money caring for the elderly. All the places that do already exist to take care of the elderly need to stop and redirect their time towards children. That's how you sound. You don't have to neglect all other groups of individuals to only restrict to caring about a single group. We can care about everyone. You wouldn't think such a thing if you were the horse. They value their lives JUST like we value ours. Your speciesism is irrelevant to them. They want to live their lives. Their lives have inherent value.

I care for all humans especially groups that are vulnerable such as children, disabled, and the elderly. I care for humans over animals. Im merely making an analogy of the old horses and elderly humans. Both are often forgotten groups. But the old horses can survive on their own on government lands until nature takes its course. Elderly homeless humans not so easily. Your misunderstanding the point I brought up here. Horses are animals. They don't reason about the value of their lives. They just live, eat, and naturally avoid predators. I grew up on a horse and cattle ranch in Colorado. To ranchers and cowboys horses are invaluable for herding and managing cattle. But when old they are no longer useful. They can either be sold for meat overseas, or if they were a very good mount, put out to pasture, until they die. Thats assuming the rancher or cowboy can afford that.
