Unfortunately our world is full of good and bad...these horses have seen the bad and possibly the worst, and now they will be able to rejoice in the good that they so deserved to live in.

I'm really happy to say that all of my 6 horses are rescues ! One was neglected for 8 of her 11 years alive. The second was beaten and left into a field of bulls that attacked him. The third and fourth were mustangs "too feral to be adopted" (they seemed to at first, but I gave them the time of day and all of my patience and they are now the sweetest little diamonds in the rough !) so they were going to be put down. The fifth was supposed to be a racehorse, but he was "too big" and "not the right color" so the previous owners sent him to a slaughter house. The sixth was supposed to be a carriage horse, but he hated pulling and refused to do it, so he was also sent to the same slaughter house. Now they are my family and they love playing tag with each other ! :)

Some of these horses have terrible cases of sway back

The arched back of the chestnut horse at 3:45 is horrendous

these people are walking angels and this gives me hope in humanity

When the horses perked up to see green grass and clean stalls I knew they were excited

May God bless the people who rescue these lovely animals. I hope the people who mistreat these animals experience the same suffering the animals did just 10x worse!

It's where the horses spine has become 'swayed' hence the term, by either age, or being ridden by someone too large for them or hard riding for many years. It can also occur from being frequently pregnant. It's doesn't usually debilitate the horse and horses with sway back can still be ridden, but because most are quite old when it happens, they usually just retire them.

Omg who else is obsessed with horses and noticed that one of the horses backs were soooooooo arched

"If you abuse animals, we will find you. We will remove those animals to safety, care for them, and prosecute YOU. Bottom line." It is 2018 now. A stronger, kinder, more actively involved group - everywhere people are speaking out, and stepping up. W are proud to be supporters of the great work of HSUS.

Jesus that swayback.

Something about black horses is so beautiful and majestic to me.

Me and my family recently rescued a ex racehorse after being neglected for 2 years in a field and he's doing grate

The owners were probably the types of people who place higher value on human life than on animal life. I don't understand how a humane person can make such a distinction! Disgraceful! Those 19 gals and guys have so much to look forward to.

Not long ago i saw a horse with a really bad sway back, but he was in a lovely paddock with plenty of food and plenty of love, but it is really horrible to see that some of us humans can bear to do this to such a beautiful creature.

its called a sway back, it is very common with older horses, and ive been around them my whole life and i have NEVER seen something like that i am so happy that these animals have better lives now

How could anyone treat such beautiful animals so cruelly??

That poor saddlebred with the severe sway, never say one that bad before... Thanks HSUS for saving them!

You guys inspire me to help poor animals... That's why when I'm 18 or older... I'm going to work there!!!

Faith in humanity restored

This video has inspired me! When i grow up me and all my friends are gonna rescue animals just like these amazing people! :D Everyone should take care of the animals they have if they cant take care of the animals than they should leave it for someone else to keep as a pet because other wise this would happen! and the people would have to come rescue animals over and over again.

When I grow up I want to do the same thing you do. It's so awesome to watch you guys save animals. God bless you and the animals. 😄😃😀😍

i want to join rescues like this but i am only 17 and live in Canada.. but this is amazing so glad these horses are now safe! and to the people who disliked this are horrible!

THANK GOODNESS YOU CAME AND SAVED THEM! I don't understand why people treat horses so horribly! All they do is work for us and try to please, it's a shame. Horses deserve so much more!

Omg why would any one do that to such beautiful animals. Btw horses are my favourite animals. I really appreciate what these people are doing thx

I volunteer weekly w/ DEFHR and I am happy to tell you the one with the sway back is still in our care. Her name is Diva and she is doing great. Most of the horses are now adopted. They only two horses I recognize from the 19 that have not been adopted out (still at the farm) are the bay draft with the roman nose (the one with the wounds). His name is Ziggy. The other is the black horse wearing the green halter lead by the man from hsus. His name is Jinx. They both give pony rides to kids.

so happy they're in a gorgeous field, rescued and on a path to wellness and love, ty to all who helped! hope the people that did this go to jail and are forbidden to ever have the privelage of any pet in their lives!

These S.O.B.'s that do this to any animal deserves to be shot. How evil can people be? Some of them are so beautiful. I'm so glad they were rescued and will be taken care of properly and treated very well. God bless all those who step up to help these wonderful animals.

Bless your hearts for saving these beautiful animals!

This is so sad but glad they could be rescued and for all the comments on the sway backed horse it is actually very common and horses are not always bothered by it, i know a 5 year old horse who was born with a sway back because of his conformation and it has never bothered him

love you days end farm horse rescue love u guys

Saviours of animals in need hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, HSUS, BHD, and DAYS END FARM.

If I could stop all horse neglect, every horse would be happier. At least we can make a difference,right?

I have meet the majority of these horses from volunteering at day's end and I just can't believe how someone could leave their horses like this. Such sweet horses too!

Yaayyyyyyyy!!!! they're happy horsies now.

I am glad they kept the horses that were next to each other , together.

And still, after all they have known from humans, they are well behaved, loving and trusting....I'm so glad you saved them!

I will join THSUS. when I'm older( THSES stand's for the human society of the united states

oh my goodness! I love horses and I am so glad you rescue them! You are amazing

To all the people talking about the horse with the sway back. She is still alive and well at DEFHR, her name is Diva. :)

Abuse of animals makes me sick, and so do the heartless sociopaths who do the abusing. I hope God deals with them and harshly.

Thank you to all who helped with this rescue. I hope all of these horses find their forever homes! Thanks HSUS for posting this video. All of your volunteers are wonderful!

What an adorable Haflinger... : (

Hey! Why can't we just put the owner in the stalls for 24 hours straight every single day and see how they like it?

3:15 such a beautiful horse

I love every animal you save. you are sutible for your job

Thank you.

The horses ears are in front which means they're happy :')

I knew a horse, I won't say where. He was a swayback not that bad but he was and I use to ride him. One day people stopped riding him and I guess that meant stop caring for him. His stall looked like those COVERED in crap. So after I was done there before going home to help a little. I would give his fresh water, some hay to eat, brush him, clean his hooves, I tried to clean his stall. I basically was doing everything but giving him his shots and vitamins. The place was shut down, torn down and the horses moved. I hope he went somewhere where they actually gave a shit about him. I could see his ribs when I knew him.

There are some beautiful horses

this is terrible, horses should not be neglected or any animal as they are a massive responsibility so if you want a horse keep it well looked after

the black one in the green halter is so beautiful

i love your job....your guyz are the best

Good bless u all

I absolutely love horses, I have my own horse named Cody

I'm glad they are going to a place were they will receive excellent care though.

Amazing People!

Days End Farm Horse Rescue: you guys rock :D

Just heart breaking.

I do not understand how this went unnoticed for so long. I mean...a tent full of sick horses under a bridge, the smell alone should have tipped someone off about the abuse long before the horses suffered so long. How can anyone who has an animal working, helping that person make their living, treat them like that?

its so sad to see such beautifull animals in so bad conditions

Last one is gorgeous

At least we can make a difference.

A sway back is when a horses' back starts to dip which can happen if it's been carrying a rider that's to big for it for a long period of time.

I am almost certain I saw this tent before it was taken down when I was younger. It is right next to RR tracks for a sample train ride the B&O museum provides, which I went on during a family day trip. So sad, I had no idea what was going on in that tent.

damn the people that would do that to horses god bless the people that care about lives of things that dont speak our language

Some people will just buy horses just have them but won't know how to care for them. I've seen a horse that was just bought and then stuck into a small pen and expected to stay there for the rest of its life. Not even enough room to walk around. So sad.

my grandpas' horse was abused.along with another horse.it was before he got him but he was in pretty bad state.at his first home,the two only got around 1 cup of grain to eat.and little hay.they were fed 1 cup of grain for them to share.they didn't get separate grain to eat.they were so skinny!then his man took them away.he had a very mare an she kicked DuDe(my grandpas' horse).so my moms friend took them.then my grandpa bought DuDe and now he is no longer skinny.

I know right i want to help to, not only with the horses but with the dogs and cats and whatever other animals they have

that black horse is so beautiful. do you guys still have one of theses horses?

One small request plz rescue the baby calf

humans can get sway backs too, tends to be more common in older horses.

Horses are forgiving? Some one needs to explain that to my horse. She got in a bit of trouble one day for nipping at her pasturemate while he was trying to eat. I went to visit her the next afternoon with a pencil stuck in a spiral bound notebook, and she pulled the pencil right out, bit it in half, and spat it out on the ground. "There! What do you think of that? Tell me to keep my nose in my own bucket, why don't you."

WHo would do such a thing?! And they were all so beautiful!

BEAUTIFUL Bay at 2:25!

It is great you can see their ears forward as they are leaving the hell

I have seen horse's in much worse conditions from seizures. These horse's are in relatively good body condition....The stable conditions were deplorable

OMG that horse at 2:37 has such bad sway back, that horse has been ruined by horrible people:( I hope it finds a nice home

I could never do this. i would die from sadness

the black horse is really pretty

you can volonteer on your local animal rescue shelter

and they get beautiful turnout!

You can always find some other rescues to work at every little thing helps!

good job HSUS!

Its old age....doesnt hurt them to walk, but riding is a very big no.

Reminds me of the infamous amersham case at spindles farm in 2008 where there was dead foals and other dead horses all 125 were ill some had to be put to sleep because the previous owners lack of remorse on youtube type in the amersham case and there is one where you would be surprised at their lack of remorse. I HATE PEOPLE WHO DO THIS TO ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some breeds have more sway backs/more likely, older horses are generally more likely to get them, and very young horses which are worked when they dont have much muscle.

@Lindi85 I don't know if it can be reversed but I do know the many causes of it. It can range from the horses genetics and or old age to being constantly ridden or the horse pulling more weight than they can handle and in these horses case, the vegetable carriages Arabbers make them pull.

Holey crap look at the chestnut with the swayback poor darling, who on gods earth would let horses get in to that state i cant believe how skinny they are and what poor condition their hooves and stalls where in. :(

Not true. Means they are either alert, scared, or checking out a situation. It doesn't necessarily mean they're "happy".

It is horrible that people can do that to animals.

Id like to volunteer so bad but I live in a different country ;_;

New Subscriber, Amen 🙏🏽 to you.

I know very little about horses, how do horses get sway back? Is it an issue of being overworked or not cared for properly?

Volunteer in your local area? There are always people needing help with animals.
