About 30 years ago I bought a mini off craigslist for 50 bucks. Poor guy had been used as a cart horse and had healed sores all over his body from the harness. Little white patches of hair where the harness and headstall had been. He could barely walk from severe arthritis. I penned him up when it got dark out, but he was allowed to roam during the day. We got him about April, and he passed away about October. He was a pet for my ten year old, and she loved him with everything she had in her. Went out one morning to open his stall, and he was down. Vet said he passed in his sleep. I’m glad we were able to give that little guy some much needed love and rest. To every “Rusty” out there, I hope you get the love you deserve. ❤️🤟🏼🫶🏻

Wow! From depressed, dejected, and filthy, barely able to walk, every step, sheer agony, to proud and beautiful, running and jumping for joy. Even the cow got caught up in her joyful celebration. What a miraculous transformation! God bless you for rescuing this beautiful little soul. Welcome to paradise, precious Hope! 🙏🤎😍🤎🙏

This horse's prancing at the end of this ordeal shows me we can't let hooves grow and stop them from enjoying life. Thanks to these good hearted people for her salvation.

Such a happy little horse in the end . Thank you for saving her and giving her a new life. The Farrier's skill was immense in turning around the distorted hooves and making her comfortable again . Such skill and compassion ❤

Look at her go. She runs like the wind, bucking and fussing....filled with joy. And before, she found it difficult to just stand without pain. Ty so much!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve and he is one of the greatest farriers I know. Great job on giving this pony and new lease on life.

After watching Hope’s video I had a warm smile on my face. I’m so happy for this little girl to finally have a home along with love and happiness. She loves her new home 🏡.

I'd like to thank the previous owner for doing the right thing for this horse. He tried to take care of her, realized he couldn't, and was going to end her suffering. Thankfully for her, found someone who could give her the care she needed and he just let her go.

Watching her run and do her little bucking is just adorable!

What you all did was show the world the best people can be. Thank you for helping all the animals that have no way to help themselves. ❤❤❤

She's so happy to have her feet back to normal. thank you to everyone who helped her.

TY all for being the loving, and compassionate stewards of God's critters. That lil lady will never forget you all for giving back her spirit of doing what she is doing now, running against the wind. You can see the sheer joy in her sprinting, rearing and bucking. Her actions are as good as vocalizing; ..."an-and look what else I can do", "did you see that, watch me do that again"!!! May God continue to shine His grace upon all of you!

This made me cry. That poor little girl. Minis are the best and she was so very patient.

I don't understand how anyone could let Hope's hooves get so overgrown. I can't imagine how much pain she was in. It is marvelous to see how well she rebounded and enjoys running around as she should.

Dr Travis, Steve Sermersheim, and the team have done a wonderful job with this girl. In this case I would say that Steve is the miracle hoof guy. He really knows what he is doing and exactly how to do it. Excellent work to all of you for saving this very special little girl.

Thank you so much for taking good care of her. The end shows how much she has improved to the point she is able to run again! I love it!

I'm not a horse person but I know pain when I see it. my heart ached to see her struggling so hard to walk but the amazing skill of the farrier gave her back the joy of running and boy was she making the most of it! A job well done by all of you!

All that sass at the end! She is so much better and happier!

This made me so incredibly sad and mad at the previous owner. This poor girl in such discomfort and pain and him not even caring enough to do anything about it. Thank you for rescuing this little horse.

Bless all those who helped her especially the wonderful farrier! The little happy hop in the field made my heart smile! ❤

Look at her kicking up her heels now! What a joy to see her joy!

Yes, thank God the previous owner let her go. Now she will have a better life! She’s a beautiful horse 🐴.

What a wonderful change for that poor wee horse .from pain and I expect despair,to a life worth living.❤❤

Sheer joy-- seeing her run and gambol and rear up, after being stuck with those terrible hooves for so long. I hope you feel what you have been able to do for her to bring back her freedom.

I have 3 minis. They get their feet done every 4 weeks. I don't see how someone could let this poor horse get to this state. Bless you for rescuing her, and making her feel better. (Jan Griffiths).

Beautiful! Your farrier is an angel! Look at her showing all her appreciation!

She's doing Zoomies like a little puppy dog. The turn around in her personality is astounding. Great job to y'all! Cheers!

I was at a local auction just a week ago and there was two ponies and a 41/2 month old donkey that looked just like this. My heart ached for them, but unfortunately I couldn't afford to help them. I'm so glad that you all can help this little one ☺️ blessing for all.😊

This poor neglected little horse looks like she feels a whole lot better with her feet. Looks like even just one trimming of the house by somebody that knows what they're doing. Helped her tremendously. Thanks for doing such a lovely job of looking after her! I'm sure she'll be a fabulous pet. Will there be anyone learning to ride her? I mean this child of proper weight of a course!

That's the happiest pony I have ever seen.

It was such fun to see this pony’s recovery. Thank you to the people who took her from misery to happiness.

How happy she is wonderful just makes you cry with joy

Good job guys! You can sure tell she's feeling so much better, she knows her feet are fixed. She absolutely appreciates it. All it took was a little love and attention, know how and a dash of modern technology. She's a happy lil pony again.🐎

Blessings to you for helping this little mini❣️❣️❣️. God said we are supposed to be the shepherds of all animals. Thank you all for holding up to that duty❣️

What an excellent job, it made me so happy to see her run,buck and having so much fun.Thank you to all the staff, the care and attention you gave her was second to none.

She is being so good for you. Thank you for taking care of her!!!

Oh my goodness, the cuteness is over the top! This baby sure was happy with her new hoofs and wanted to show off and let you see just how much she was enjoying them. This mini has a really cute disposition. Hope she found her forever home.

She’s a sweetheart! Her bucking around so happily at the end was amazing!

It’s amazing what a great farrier can do to correct these serious hoof problems. Thank you for giving each one a chance to have a quality life.

Seeing hooved emerge from that twisted mess was like watching a miracle! I would have called her Sassy, not Hope though. She is such a little firecracker ❤

The end where she's jumping around almost made me cry! How sweet! 😻😻😻😻

Thank you for people that help these poor abused horses. Amazing what you did to help her or him. ❤❤❤

who who who wath to say thank you to all the good people are workling here sorry may very bad english i am from Austria

Great video trim and transformation. So glad she is healthy and happy thankyou for rescuing her.

xxxxWow! Thank Goodness Little Hope was rescued when she was. She seems like an Ideal Patient, Bless you all & Hope for such an amazing transformation & recovery. Enjoy Life Little Lady.

Such a huge change in her. Thank you for sharing.🐴

The heart of a champion right there. By week ten she'll be ready to give the derby a try.

❤ Love that Hope is happy and doing zoomies! She's so beautiful. I hope, Hope finds her forever home and keeps getting the love and care she deserves. ❤

Thank you for giving her frequent breaks…not all farriers are that concerned, and I’ve seen horses in terrible condition being put through the torments of hell by a farrier who seems to think they have unlimited endurance.

I felt so horrible when first seeing her. Then in the end she was running, rearing and jumping. My heart just leeps with joy. I've always had a love ❤for horses, but especially the smallest and the largest of them.

OMG thank you. Who could let that pony get into such a state. Thanks for helping her.

Genuinely made me smile 😃 . Well done restoring the wee horse hooves & energy levels, she truly flies now, bless her lil new hooves. Don't take on any large animal if you're not above & beyond in providing the proper care & maintenance. There is no excuse for the previous keeper & easily avoided. Awesome share, Thank-you 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸

Glad you went to look at some cows. You gave her a new life!

Awww what a patient , patient that then turned into a zoomie puppy - too cute 💞💞💞💞

That farrier is the coolest man alive!

So happy to see her cared for and enjoying running and frolicking! Thank you for saving her!

Bless you farrier for your patients and skill in alleviating this horses condition. Excellent work of professionals together to save a horse that otherwise would have been put down. Cannot praise highly enough people like this. And look at the transformation in that little pony. She is over the moon to be able to trot and gallop around on her new found feet, happy at last.

Look how happy she is no more pain! Thank you to everyone who helped her! ❤️‍🩹

What a gorgeous little horse. Thank you for saving her.

She’s cute as can be. Bless you for helping her, thank you 💕

Top Farrier for that job! ,you gave the little "bronco" a new life!! Making up for lost time with that energy,

I am so IMPRESSED with the great job you do for this wonderful little horse and then to see the wonderful result of her journey🥰❤

What a change, her demeanour has improved so much..

I loved the transformation of this little lady, Hope, she found the perfect home when the previous owner just let her go to you. Thank you for saving her and making her better. Your farrier is quite the guy! Look at her go, she is feeling super fine, with all that running and bucking, such a cutie.

Congratulations too everyone in Hopes wonderful treatment and what joy too see the final outcome ❤❤❤

The previous owner should have given her up if he couldn’t care for her, l would through tears, don’t let them suffer

Got to be so tough for farriers to deal with such mini hooves and tiny horses! You'd almost be better tipping them over on a table to save your back! Great job helping poor Hope!

So cute seeing her zoomies.So glad the man who inherited her from the previous owners decided to give her to y'all and give her a second chance at life.She looks healthier weight now that she could move around. It was so amazing to watch her stand so quietly for the farrier.

She feels so good. Awesome job to you all.

All I can say is god bless all of you !!!!

those hooves are so twisted. that poor little girl. so this affects more than just the foot!! (it always hurts to see animals mistreated or abused. hope the people are fined big time and not allowed any pets at all !) thanks for caring about her and taking care of her hooves/feet. She looks much better. and she’s running and jumping around. just beautiful and so happy. Thank you so much. hope someone great gets her now. 🐴👨🏽‍🌾🌷🌱

So cute to see here running and mane blowing in the wind. Can tell she feels 1000% better.

21:40 ❤❤❤❤❤ Born to run free as the wind blows.

i just happened upon your channel today and i love it. the empathy and compassion y'all have for these beautiful creatures, is a joy to watch. i am obviously not happy with any animals being neglected but its great to see there are so many amazing people and professionals, willing to help these animals. i spend most of my days an nights stuck indoors due to a debilitating and disabling syndrome, which means i watch a lot of youtube videos and then following loads of amazing channels. you have a new subscriber. love from ireland💚👩‍🦽

The kind of horse I like the best : a Happyhorse 😍

You are an amazing human, thanks for helping this sweet pony. OMG she is running!

The before and after is heart warming. Thank you for caring. GM

It's great to see her running playing and jumping. To think the previous owner was thinking of putting her down because they couldn't get someone out to trim her is sad.

This little gal is quite a trouper. Thank you for helping her.

19:46 Good work, Farrier! The tiny horse will get used to it quickly and be able to run well again.

Thank you sweet Jesus for giving them the knowledge to help this little girl. Amen

I cried with joy.

This is amazing 😊 they have been great with the pony, and they are angels to help fix the hooves and make the pony's life better. Great people ❤ 😊

Hope is doing a happy dance❤
