That sweet black mare's owners should be in jail for animal neglect and abuse.

That bow legged horse is just the saddest thing ever. Rest in Peace, Beautiful Lady.

OMG that horseshoeing is back breaking work. Kudos to the farrier.

Since you found the owner of ROTA, I hope the local Sheriff ARREST them or at least does a wellness check on any other animals they have and seize them.

That vet is such a badass! I love listening to her explain everything and she has such a good eye! What a great asset to your team.

Our farrier adopted our two horses and we get to go visit them. He provides the care that we couldn't anymore. God bless caring farriers!🐎🐎

Thank you for saving these equines & giving The Last Act of Kindness at the auction to that poor mare as well as to the others that were in such dire conditions . Mamma & baby are precious. You all work so hard.

The poor Mare with the bowed legs was heartbreaking. Someone should have given her the last act of kindness long before Horse Plus had to. I am so glad that Octavia and Spock are ok because they are very adorable! The naughty bunch of ponies at the end there 😂

It must be heart-wrenching to see what y'all see at those auctions. All animals kept in captivity, deserve better. RIP sweet horses.

I'd still be sobbing if it hadn't been for the closing clip of the ponies finaly getting into the trailer just to escape again and again and again 🙃. I was so furious when I saw the horse you ushered across the rainbow 🌈 Bridge at the auction. Then my heart 💔 was ripped out of my soul and I couldn't stop crying. Bless you for going the extra mile even when the suffering can only be relieved by the last act of kindness. I marvel at the inhumanity witnessed at this auction. Bless the beast and the children.🕊🐎🐴

From the bottom of my "broken" heart, Thank you HPHS, for ending Rota's suffering. And, SHAME on those who brought her and excepted her at the auction!! What kind of people are they?! HEARTLESS is all I can conclude. You are truly free now girl...happy roaming the pastures in the sky!

I am so very happy that even though Petfinders declined doing horses bought in auction, that adoptions are still going well. Yay!!

Thank you for saving these horses,I'm glad they're finally getting help.Bless all of you.

The extra steps you take like making sure they're compatible BEFORE loading is very impressive to me!!!

The ending was great comic relief, serious heartbreak, still a bit nauseous, so heartwrenching...

The Horses Plus employees and volunteers are truly amazing people; brave, compassionate and skilled in so many, many ways. I thank God for all of you!

Garrick is such a ray of sunshine in the world. It's good to see him back.

That coloured mare with her foal is truly fabulous mom giving all that she had to her baby. My sister bred show ponies, one gave all to her baby and needed extra groceries , but the other fed her foal, but kept all her weight on

Nice to see Garrick back. We need another update on who left and who’s new please

I'm still in disbelief that people treat their beautiful horses this way, then offload them to the auction. They should be prosecuted. Thank you for rescuing them. 💜💙

How on Earth did someone let this poor mare get to this bad situation. Fly free Rota. You are now and angel with your wings. You were loved in the end.

Jenna you are a trooper taking all the hits with a smile and sense of humour.

So glad Garrick is back, can’t nobody shoe the way he does 🐎

This was a great video! Not rushed, showed a lot indepth and not short!

Thank you, Tawnee, for explaining your philosophy. I know many rescues guard their limited funds by rescuing only adoptable animals. I don't criticize them for that choice, but I thank you for being there for the "forlorn hopes" of the equine world. It's hard to think about any animal subjected to the terror of the slaughter. Love Dr. Young (I learn so much from her explanations) and LOVED the pony rascals at the end--watched that twice!

"With all the sweat, we're kind stuck together", says Doc.😆

Watching Rota really broke my heart! Such a beautiful mare in a horrific situation! Unbelievable how long she must have suffered. There were tissues needed… Happy to see Doc with the team! He has such a way with the horses…. Glad Mama and baby are safe! And the end of the video with the ponies was everything! Good note to finish 🙏 Definitely worth the wait!

Horses are veery special, love them !

That poor black mare breaks my heart! I can't imagine anyone being that cruel!

LOVE LOVE LOVE watching all the process and growth this Horse Shelter & all the heros have along the way have made the difference! The growth as an organization has been incredible to watch...Thank You for sharing & making the difference in our world.

I will never understand how someone can walk out their door and see an animal starving and not do anything for that animal. Shame on those people that turn a blind eye and just throw that animal away and never look back.

The end is adorable. This ponies sure gave Kory a workout! Best wishes to the new rescues and blessings to those who are no longer suffering.

You can’t blame the horses for jumping off the trailer, they finally got to a wonderful place with big fields to eat and run and then they had to get back into a trailer to an uncertain place. Poor babies, they will be fine but I couldn’t blame them for not wanting to go anywhere again.🥰

We trust you doc God Bless you ❤️

glad to see you back garret..we have missed you!

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Hoping for the best for each horse. So sad to see Rosa in such a poor state but glad you could pull before auction to reduce her suffering. Glad to see that pony might have a chance. So kind of Shirley to provide food and very glad Garrick is on the mend and returned. Looking forward to the updates. Thanks for sharing and try to stay cool.

OK, the baby totally made that vlog worth it. 🥺 Fly high, run free sweet ponies.

I've had lots of success feeding ground flaxseed to my arthritic horses, even the ones with ring bone it does miracles. A cup a day for a 30 days you will seea improvement all the way around.

Good job everybody! TY for helping all these animals NO MATTER WHAT THEY NEED! It’s heartbreaking to say goodbye but you’re doing everything right! Stay strong ❤️

Another great video. Thank you for sharing. Glad to see Garrick back. That poor horse with the cross legs. How anyone could let that poor horse get like that needs to be prosecuted for neglect and abuse!

Like herding cats into that trailer.

Congratulations Peyton on your new dog! Must have taken some convincing. The look on her face when she saw you with the dog was priceless. lol So happy you got to adopt her/him.

Great to see Garrick! Welcome back!

I'm happy to see both Doc and Garrick back. I love both of their sense of humor.

Wowza!!! That count in was spectacular!! First class job gang!! Very impressed.

Great episode! Once a horse is adopted: I would love to see a picture from the auction + weight. Just to compare the before and after.

Wow, what else can I say. 😟❤️🐎🤗 Thank you so much for being there to help that poor black mare, it is totally uncomprehensible how she was able to survive like that. And the poor draft with the bad back... You definitely got your share of hurting and injured horses and ponies. But I have to say I love the picture at the end of you guys standing with Octavia and Spock. Beautiful picture, beautiful people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The quality of the videography and sound were great. I could hear with excellent clarity. It was as if l was there. Much better than live feeds. Thank you for providing the last act of kindness. It is beyond understanding how people live with themselves allowing such suffering under their watch.

Thank you for doing the last act of kindness to the horses that need it and not allowing them to suffer. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love your woman vet , she gives them every chance. More caring and compassionate. Breath of fresh air.

I'm sooo glad to see Garrett back , missed seeing him .

Love this episode. Even though several cases were tragic giving the Last Act of Kindness, it was best to prevent more pain and suffering. Bless you for having the humanity to do what needed to be done. I’m sure there will be a special place in heaven for those that tend God’s creatures.

So happy they took June she is the sweetest and deserves the very best life and I know they will see she gets it

And I like your guys vet she is good for the horse and she is a good vet Nanette

I’m LOVIN that mule♥️‼️😘

As sad as it is, giving that last act of kindness was possibly the only bit of kindness many of them ever had. Rather than slowly die in pain in a dirty, dark crowded pen that smelled of sickness and maybe even death or continue on in horrible pain, you send them to sleep with the comfort knowing they are "falling asleep" outside comfortably and surrounded by those who have given them the love and kindness they could only hope to dream for. They're off to a place where they will never have to worry about being in such a horrible situation again, and the ones you were able to keep with us, will have a new chance at a life and learn to love and trust again with people who would truly appreciate them.

I'm finally caught up!!! So happy! I love when the docs explain what there doing to the horses.

Another great intake video showing so much of what you guys do to rescue these horses. I love watching your quick evaluations and partial diagnoses to give DOC the best information on what to expect when he sees the rescued horses back at your facility. By starting whatever treatment you can for each horse at the auction, you increase good outcomes and recoveries, and decrease each animal's stress and discomfort immediately. Your starting immediate treatment is the reason many of the very critical horses recover. It's refreshing to see the horses pile out of the transporting trailer to run free on GRASS, as they enter the beginning of their new lives. They MUST KNOW something GOOD is about to happen to them. For the critical animals, this transition from awful to excellent conditions might give many an incentive to fight to recover. Your HORSE PLUS HUMANE SOCIETY is set up perfectly for rescuing horses (and other incidental animals). I cannot imagine any similar organization that is able to do the job better. Perhaps some of your mentored organizations will come close, but you have 20 years of experience on them, AND, you are not profit-driven. They will never catch up to you, UNLESS sometime in the future, you turn them into franchises or satellites of HORSE PLUS. {{I don't think franchises work out for non-profit groups.}}

Kory saying he likes a mule is like me saying I like chocolate cake.

Hi again ROUGH one for sure! It sickens me to my core to actually see what some putrid heartless disgusting barely human torturers do to the horses in their care. Honestly people have to start rising up and get the horses reclassified so laws are in place to prosecute and jail them! Just imagine how they treat other people!! Most likely abusers of the worst kind. Just put those images in your brain!! Heartfelt thank you as always for all you do. So wonderful they won't know another auction a long haul with no food no water and a horrific slaughter... Keep on smiling and laughing when you can eat pizza share that TLC. God bless

Thanks for the laugh at the end! Loved watching Kory wrangle those ponies onto the trailer! Little stinkpots!

❤ love all of you and what you do!!

Excellent video. So sad that so many of the auction horses were in bad shape. It’ll be interesting to watch the mom and colt as they progress and to see mom fill out. Thanks to the team for all your efforts to help horses, even if it’s for the last act of kindness. They are in a better place now and no more pain and suffering.

You all give so much care and love to so many beautiful lives. I have so much respect for everyone.

Yay for Garrick!!!!! So glad he’s back 😀😀😀😀

That poor horse with the bowed legs. Another video that had me in tears. Thank you for letting him cross the Rainbow Bridge without getting on another trailer.You people are totally awesome for doing what you do. Love you all.any prayers for you and your rescues.

Please update us all on momma and baby.They are so cute.If I lived there I would definitely take them .hugs blessings

Im sooooo sorry for the pain you guys have to experience thank you for sharing what you can. I could only dream of being a part to help and love on likeminded family. God will equip if we continue on in our faith. Hugs from Calif

I love to watch Garrick .. he’s handsome, fun and knowledgeable.. 💖💖💖

I really enjoy all the information you share. I never had a clue about all this. Your crew is great, as nd very informative.

I did like doc and he explained all that he found and I miss hearing him but this lovely lady is near same she really explained down to the nitty gritty and she is a very good asset to you and all your live stoke she don’t miss a thing but she has a heart ❤️ and she is a wonderful to your family humans and hoomans all fur babies are special to have her by your side 😊😊😊😊😊😊

This was a great video - film, sound & editing were all done very well, interesting content captured - good job!

A huge smile fell across my face at 18:13 when everyone's favorite farrier returned to the show. Ah, Garrick... how you've been missed my friend. You bring a certain energy with you that makes me smile every time. Of course he is so good with the horses and the staff there at HP... I will add that it doesn't hurt a single iota that Garrick is pretty darn easy on the eyes😉 Heather🇨🇦

There are just some really sad cases at auction in very bad conditions. It makes me hurt for them. Fly free to all of those who had such bad issues that they are released from their suffering.

Welcome back Garrick. One of my favourite men that comes to work on the horses. (The other is Doc lol). It would be interesting to have you and Doc together with both of your wit. I'm sure you would have everyone laughing. Glad you are back. Got to see if I can get some Sundrop over here in New Zealand. Need to try it. Tried Dr Pepper candyfloss a few weeks ago all I can say is YUM! So glad you did the right thing for that poor horse. Wish whoever owned her before did that instead of trying to make money off the poor girl. So sad.

So hard for doc. Scott to have give the last act of kindness.. to so many painful 😣 horses .. You can see the sadness in his eyes 😔

Nice To See Garrick Back xx The Female Farrier Is Also Awesome ( Sorry I Cannot Remember Her Name )xx

You do an awesome job. Even though some hard decisions made, your first priority is the horses.

Wow seeing the farm from an airial view, y'all have come a long ways. 😊👍

So glad to see Garrick! I just love him!

That was a good ending, with so many horses that needed the last act of kindness it was good to see the horses being mischievous no one could watch with out laughing hahahaha

What a fantastic episode, so many lives saved. Your whole veterinary team is simply amazing, so knowledgeable and empathic, man this organisation is superb, what a team! As always, I send love, gratitude and thanks for all you do. To be the voice for these incredible majestic animals is a privilege and I’m saying a huge thank you from them. You always make the right decisions, even if they’re the hardest and most heartbreaking but you always get it right. The horses needs, happiness and soundness always come first with you and I love you for that. Keep being you Horse Plus, you’ve got it right, again, such an amazing group of human beings. Much love always. Ann.

I cry at every episode. You all are such incredible people, if my business ever takes off one day I will 1000000% donate as much to you all as I can. thank you so much for giving these lovely babies a second chance, even if they need to cross the rainbow bridge. My heart melts every time a new auction rescue goes out to the field after the assessment, so so heartwarming. Thank you again. HUGE love from the UK💖💖💖

about spilled my coffee when i saw the the little gray pony jump off the trailer for the second or third or fourth(?) time while you were loading the others. that is truly an 'into pressure" horse!!!

This episode was a sad one! Nice to see Garrick and Doc back again though.

You folks are great!

Love how you edited out the grinding of the float. It can be pretty rough.

Thank you all so much for what you do!

Happy to see Garrick back. Where’s the new fan he received in another video? He needs it 💜

I’m getting to the point where I have to look away when those poor babies are severely injured. It breaks my heart.

Can y'all show updates on June that the vet tech adopted. I cried happy tears when she said she was taking her home. Everything yall do is amazing 😍

I should be surprised that some owners have destroyed their horses by neglect and cruelty, but I’m not. thank goodness for the guys at horse plus who take as many horses, donkeys and mules that they can afford, and all those who attend the auctions and help with intake and treatment. I deplore the absolute cruelty of Tennessee walking gait with the process of soring , it’s just so unimaginably cruel.

Garrick is one good looking man. He seems to be a person to brighten the day! Glad he's back.

Thanks for doing the right thing for all of the animals, even though it's hard.🐎🐎

It is hard to come by a great vet Nanette

at least you are there

So many heartbreaking darling souls… thank heavens for Horse Plus and similar rescues! BTW….anyone wants to give me the tiny red pony, (not shown much in this video but I saw him in the live intake )I’d be so happy to love on him😬😬😬! (I keep asking for a pony for my birthday… #56 it just happened, so it would have to be a belated gift, but I’d still be delighted……wishful thinking 🥰) the mules are gorgeous too (I DEFINITELY can relate to fat pads that won’t go away….😜) LOVE YOU GUYS! Thankful for your compassion and generosity Horse people are the BEST❤️

So i am guessing the animal cruelty laws are slack at best over in some of these states? What i don't understand is why the Vets that do the Auctions are not mandated to report animals in distress or serious signs of cruelty. At the very least they have to be there for the test coggins. For them to even transport the animals across state. If they tightened up the laws and made the Auctions Partially responsible for accepting horses in those conditions. Just maybe that would cut down on animals ending up in those serious conditions.

Loved the comic relief of the mini's jumping on and off the trailer. Thank you for all that you guys do for God's creatures.

You couldn’t pay me to live in Tennessee with that heat and humidity no way no hell good luck to you all. I’ll say just where I am Utah never real hot, but it can get cold, but never as cold as some of the other places around like the Dakotas. Sundrop looks like Sprite.. LOL
