I hope that people realize that the last act of kindness IS RESCUING. Rescuing from a horrible fate of suffering in a trailer and a feed lot. That last few weeks of a slaughter bound horse is the worst fate imaginable. The fact that y'all paid $250 for him just to have to put him down tells me all I need to know about your organization. You are truly in it for the horses. Thank you for all you do.

I love Dr. Lydia. She is so gentle with the horses, talking to them as she checks them out. And her excitement at the pregnancy was just giddy. But the request for warm water for enemas (for Jenna to do) was the topper. She just loved to egg Jenna on. Sometimes it takes a bit of joking to be able to handle all the pain and misery you see in the rescue world. I'm glad to see HPHS can still laugh and have some fun.

m a retired wildlife rehabber = i have actually been shot at for trying to save a momma raccoon and her babies.The guy missed and then the gun didnt fire. He turned around and punched me. What he didnt realize is this here woman is also a trained boxer and I will hit back! In the end Momma and all 4 kits went with me and are now living a free life in a safe forest! I understand what you feel more then you realize, Tawnee. Your words and courage to come out and say what happened to you is enough to give others that have been assulted and abused the strength to speak out! Men too! Men can be abused just as bad as women! Nobody deserves it- nobody! Keep your head held high! You have a way better spirit and a beautiful supportive groups of great folks around you!! You are going to come out on top of this and be a while lot better for it! much love and hugs!!

When he called you pure evil, it was projection. He knows what's in his own head, so he assumes everyone is like that. What a crazy, baffling event. Hugs from all of us who love Tawnee & Jason and the whole crew. 💓

I’m glad you pressed charges and saved the horse

"You don't have to be crazy to work here - we'll train you!" I LOVE IT!! You might consider hanging this offering over your entrance . . . to increase the number of your marvelous volunteers and employees. Herein lies the secret of your success!

"we asked her to trot and she chose not to" - that is so lovely to hear. Just the respect for the horse.

“Butts are so accessible!” I nearly fell off my couch laughing😂😂😂😂

Dr. Lydia just cracks me up.I am so glad she is staying. I love her wit and charm.

Tawnee!!! It's most definitely the best to perform "The Last Act of Kindness" for these two souls while in your care versus them suffering thru the slaughter process. You rescued them in a different way, but you definitely rescued them nonetheless! 💕🐎

Is there no laws in America that stops this cruetly. Animals should be vet checked before auctions . Those poor horses. Thank goodness for you guys

I just love Dr Lydia!

It is never okay to let violence go unaddressed, because the behavior usually escalates with no consequences to the perpetrator.

Thank you for what you and your team does. Giving that beautiful baby a kind and respectful passing. 🤍🤍🕊️ Y’all are so special 🫶🏼

Tawnee, thank you for speaking not only for the animals but also what happened to you. It would be easier to not be public but you're standing up and sharing you're story which encourages other victims of abuse.

Great episode you guys!! 👍. Tawney I'm glad you pressed charges on that man...he seriously needs anger management counseling. I love you guys and know that you're all doing a fantastic job in helping these horses. I trust the veterinarians decisions when assessing the health of these animals, they are on top of the game and honest. The paint horse that was surrendered looked healthy and sound. I'm glad he got adopted 😊. I'm glad John found his chicken 😄😄. You guys are funny 😂. Have a blessed day 🙏❣️

You know this, but I am going to say this anyway. These horses that died yesterday needed exactly you to be there and see them, see their pain. You gave them support, gentle care and love. I am convinced that as these horses died, the other horses that have gone before gathered around to help them on their way. Thank heaven you were there with your team to call the herd of angels and gently transition these two to their new herd.

Tawnee, I get abused regularly because I am permanently disabled and my husband parks in disabled parking. People find it necessary to verbally abuse too many times. I am so very sorry that you were physically assaulted. Blessings to you and yours from Wendy, Queensland, Australia🦋🦋

Good for you seeing counselor. Much respect for sharing. Sending love and peace to all.

I'm somehow so happy to see someone surrendering their healty horses that are well cared for

I wish Apache all the best going forward in his new life 🤗 He’s a handsome sweet boy! Thank you for saving him! Someone is going to get many wonderful beautiful days with him. ❤

Thank you Horse Plus for protesting th Big Lick and keeping it in the public eye! I just watched a video by Maury Povitch from 1987! I wrote the info down and misplaced it crap,,,or I would give it to the world! In this video there are pictures of horrible things these horses have been enduring. For How Many Years! Since to many decades to count!!! If anyone can find this again please share this Maury Povitch video!

The aerial view of this Horse Plus shows an organized, well planned facility. These folks are taking absolutely wonderful care for their rescued livestock. Thanks guys 💕

I love the new vet. She is amazing and her love for all animals is amazing 👏

Tawnee I am sorry this happened to you. The trama from assault does leave mental scars. Stay strong it'll take time to heal and recover from such a traumatic experience. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏

Abuse is something I know about 1st hand. You spoke up about the incident with grace and not malice towards that man who hit you and that right there shows you are not pure evil. This too will pass as they say especially if you don't hold on to it. You've got better things to do like saving horses. And thank you for saving that perfectly healthy horse and finding a good home for it. Blessings.

Thank you, for the last act of kindness.Bless you and your team, much love and respect!.

Some people are just sick. You know you did the right thing. Thank you for sharing.🐴

Just when I think I can't possibly have any more respect for Tawnee, she goes and raises the bar again. I cannot express how thankful I am that Apache and his stablemates found his way to you. It's ironic that people can get so high and mighty about something like this after seeing the condition of their other horses. What you put into the universe comes back to you, Tawnee. Be at peace knowing good things are ahead for you.

If I were 40 years younger, I would love working there! Y'all deserve some silliness with all that you see and do there. A labor of love.

Thank you for speaking out about your abuse. I am an abuse survivor as well. I told my story in order to save myself and keep the abuser away from me. It worked and it was empowering. Abuse survivors never deserve what is done to them. And the more we speak out, the better it is for a healthier and safer tomorrow for everyone. Thank you, again, Tawnee and be well. Much love and support from Connecticut.

It's SO EASY to just be nice to people. You all put so much love and kindness into the world and you deserve every kindness in return, I can't even fathom how sad of a life someone must live to instigate a situation like this one. Tawnee, you're a legend for speaking out about it. You're a role model to so many and you advocating for yourself will definitely help others who have been in similar situations

It's so heartwarming to watch Dr. Lydia how kindly she talks to and treats every animal. They seem to calm down a bit instantly and trust her. I've been to horse auctions for years rescuing on a small scale myself and there was always a vet right at the entrance checking every horse. Well that was in Southern Germany. Is there a way to implement that in Tennessee as well? Like a petition or something similar? I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much for being out there for all those animals in need.

Tawnee you are a strong person it shows by what you do some people have no heart for anything in this world bless you and Jason for the good you. do for those horses🥰🥰🥰

Tawnee, thank you for speaking up and exposing them. They are mentally unwell to assault and threaten you. He/they are the evil ones. I have been going through some subtle threats after the death of my adult son. They are friends of a distant relative. I have been having to watch my back. It's sad that someone could treat me and my family this way during the most difficult time of our lives. I find that with the verbal anger and accusations, that they are guilty of the things they are accusing us of. It's amazing that I feel a peace from the Lord. The very thing they mean for our harm will not prevail. Keep your eyes on the prize Tawnee, I love you and all you are doing for these horses. Take care❤️

Being forced to walk around with a broken leg is so cruel and painful beyond words that the last act for this animal IS HUMANE and necessary sometimes. God bless those souls at peace now ❤

Lydia is so funny! I love her!

Tawnee continuing to pray for you and for god to help you mentally and emotionally heal and for you to stay safe. God bless you your such an amazing soul 🙏 ❤

Tawnee so sad about the 2 horses, I could see the pain and concern and sorrow in your eyes. That just means yor are human and care so much for these animals, Gods creations. Carry on the great work you and your team do.

You make us all stronger. Thank you. I am in the process of surrendering my beautiful Appys. Mom is blind and her 7 yr seeing eye horse to Horses without Humans rescue in South Fl. My husband and I are both elderly with health issues and it has become so hard to give them the care they need. I have watched your KZfaq channel and cried when I've seen bad outcomes but you have given me the strength to make this choice while my horses are healthy. To give them away to unqualified people and take the chance that could end up in the slaughter pipeline is more than I can bear. To pass and have one of my family members make the wrong choice is not something I am willing to take a chance on. So about a year ago I reached out to Horses Without Humans and after waiting for space in their facility the vet came last week to test for Coggins and now time comes to say goodbye to Sugar and Rella. Thank you for giving me the strength to do the right thing. And God bless Janet with Horses Without Humans in South Florida giving them the opportunity to find love in the hands of someone with sweet pastures for many years to come. XO Carol Brown

As a licensed psychologist , I couldn't be more proud of Tawnee for speaking out against not only verbal assault but also physical assault! You stood up for Apache when they would not! Thank God you got he and the 2 others away from them. I fear that they have other animals in their care! You are such a powerful and positive voice for animals. And no one can take that away from you! You know your TRUTH! Those of us who have been watching horse plus for months or years see every video how kind you are to the horses! I see that you make the very important kind and respectful decision to help horses out of their bodies when they ĥave a grave prognosis. I wish the owners were kind enough to allow animals in such condition to die with their owners on their properties, but failing to do so means that somebody needs to step up and help these animals. I could EASILY spend $250 to purchase a horse who was suffering and give him the gift of the last act of kindness. Your doing that tells me everything I need to know about you! I also recognize that you have enough life experience to know that there are a lot of troubled people out there . For whatever reason, they seem to want to put the light out of beautiful people who are doing some of the most challenging and important work there is. You help those who are most vulnerable and without a voice. The world would be a much darker place without you! Not to mention how many horses would go on to be slaughtered instead of being plucked from being at the wrong place at the wrong time. And as I have mentioned, those horses who desperately need to be seen and helped rather than shipped on to the next auction or stepped on in the next transport trailer until they hit the final destination of slaughter. Where they simply bleed out. So you go do you Tawnee! And you set the record straight when people misrepresent you or your organization. And as I think you also see... there are many of us who see your heart, your work, your passion, and all of the goodness that you do and represent! I am honored to get to share the planet with people like you and jason!

Tawnee what you said at the end of this video just shows what a KIND and WONDERFUL person that you are !! 💕💖💕 Just like we already knew! You and Jason and your whole crew are AMAZING people for what you all day every day for all the poor innocent horses that are saved by HORSE PLUS !! 😄😄💖 BLESSINGS from Us and GOD BLESS All at HORSE PLUS !!! 🤝🙏🙏🤝

This breaks my heart. How can people be so cruel? God Bless you for the work you do. Those horses deserved better. You gave it your best.

Tawnee, you have helped so many horses from abuse and suffering!! Your talk at the end will help so many people who also have been abused and are suffering. You are such a wonderful person and strong woman. thank you. The more good you do the more bad people will try to bring you down. HORSE PLUS STRONG!!!

It's sad to come in contact with people like that, you got assaulted and verbally abused because you found out the truth about those people. They were using you and your organization to get rid of there horses, they didn't want to spend the money on them, but use you as a scape goat and try to make you guy's look like bad guy's. They are pretty ignorant to think a vet would put down a perfectly good animal. You hang in there we're all behind you.

It's heartbreaking to have to give these horses the care or last act they should have gotten before they got to auction. So callous of the people who cast them off. What you do is so difficult but, rewarding when you save those who'd have gone to slaughter or died in a trailer.

Proof that there is good crazy and bad crazy, hope there is more good crazy in your lives - thanks for all you do!

I love Dr. Lydia - she's my kind of vet! And I want to hear the bear story.

I’m sorry this happened. You & your organization are so kind to the animals. The verbal and physical abuse by that criminal is outrageous. I know that you take euthanasia very seriously and it is painful for all of you when you need to do that as a last measure. Your priority is the quality of life for the animal. God bless all of you.❤

Brought home a dog who was abused, emaciated also sever ear infections. Amazingly people stuck up for this person. Working with a lawyer atm to get this person their just deserves. The road to healing is a long one, I'm walking with you from a far..

Good Lord that was awful. Sending prayer to you for a full recovery from that sad person. Abuse is never acceptable. Good for you for speaking out. ❤

Great work Dr Lydia and the whole vet team! You are champions. Thank you for explaining so thoroughly. Farewell to Sara and good luck in all her future endeavors! 💓

Prayers for all of you guys

I love Dr Lydia. She's so great. So kind, so thorough. The whole chicken thing was hilarious. It's so important to find the time to laugh when you something that can be so sad and hard at times. My heart is absolutely breaking to see a horse in the auction with a broken leg. Poor poor baby. How long was he/she in this condition. How could anyone do that?? I will never understand it, ever.

It's honestly heartbreaking that people allow an animal to get in such bad condition. Thank you so much for all you do ❤️

Dr. Lydia is so amazing. Love the way she does all the assessing and recommendations. Love to go crazy with everyone loving on horses and donkeys and everything else that arrives there. Will Dr Lydia be the full time doctor?

Never seen a mule colored like that, so beautiful.

Thank you, dear lady. Just...thank you. 💙☘️😺

So glad you have found great Drs. to come out to help take care of the animals. I can't wait for your onsite Dr. to start working there in Jan. Such a blessing.

Tawnie, you are the Elvis of horse rescue! What you do is amazing! You have so much heart. To see someone treat you with anything other than respect really boggles my mind. I've always loved horses and what you do with those poor victims of neglect and abuse has surely earned you your wings! You really are a hero...really!!🐎🐎

Tawny you are such a kind and patient person, being both verbally and physically assaulted for doing the right thing is insane. The fact that you remained kind and level headed makes you a much better person than most, especially myself. I don’t think I could have held myself as well as you have. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s making such a difference to people and animals globally. You’ve reached me all the way up in Scotland and I see comments from New Zealand, that’s both ends of the earth effected by YOU and YOUR team

They hate you because they ain’t you my husband and I adore your whole team tawnee you are an angel god sent you down here without wings so your cover isn’t blown keep fighting for the voiceless we stand by you ❤❤❤

KEEP ON KEEPIN ON GUYS AND STAY BLESSED 💜✝️💜

I understand how hard it is to do the right thing. So glad caring people are there with them.🐎🐎

I have been abused for 30 plus years. So has my two oldest children. I lost four babies. You have a husband that cares. Bless you Sweety. I'm now 80 and I am looking for the LORD to come. Bless your hearts (You and Your Husband as well) Thank you for caring for animals. They talk also but you know this already. Thank You for caring and Thank You for sharing.

i follow you on all platforms, i love your openness and honesty even when you have to put a horse down. you always do whats best by each and every animal that comes to you. i feel like it was a set up if you put him down you would of been bashed, they just wanted a reason to come after you. the world is crazy but im so glad theirs people like you who truly care xxx

Omg lovely, I never realised what had happened to you until you opened up. Don't take on board what this nasty person has done to you. It takes a special person/persons to do what you all do on a daily basis. You all have kind hearts. Love you all. Elaine Campbell from the UK xxxxx

HORSE PLUS HUMANE SOCIETY 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💙💜🐴🐎🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for all you do. Much love to you all.

Hello from the bottom of the earth 🌎 New Zealand . So sorry you were hurt sweetheart. But you stand up tall and tell us what happened. Good for you. I hope and pray that they get what's coming through Christ our father. They need to be sorted. We love what you all do. Thank you all for such passion and love for a job well done. Those animals who are given love, food and time do very well. Also I love that you check out the new home's before anyone leaves. God bless you all, and stay safe. Xoxoxoxo

Im sobbing so hard and broken hearted for this beautiful creature. He did not deserve the lack of love and care that he had. I am so, so, SO sorry, beautiful boy. Please close down the auction for good and bring all accountable for this heinous cruelty to jail.. I pray for justice for this beautiful boy.cruelty. Run free without pain at 🌈 💔😭💔😭💔😭💔 Thank you for your last act of kindness.

I couldn’t do what you do Tawnee. Stay strong my lovely. Good job everyone. Happy 40th birthday Mr Young 🎉

Please you never need to explain what you do for these animals or why you do what you do. People have let these beautiful souls down and your organization has stepped in to help, and what a magnificent job you do.

I'm so sad and happy at the same time. Some people have no heart. Thank y'all for ending their suffering. I couldn't stop crying. How can I find out how to adopt a horse? I saw the black 15 year old mare,Juniper. She is gorgeous

I suggest you call the white horse Casper. He looks like a friendly ghost. So sweet ♥️

It happened because that man CANNOT control his anger. God help his children and any animal in his care.

As always, another fantastic episode. I just love Dr Lydia, her empathy and sense of humour is amazing. She’s a natural on the telly too. Please hang on to her because she’d be so missed! All of you guys do such an awesome job, every single one of you, you’re angels. This was such a sad intake this month, I t shows just what these so called owners are made of, absolute cowards that they don’t do right by their animals, instead trying to make money out of their suffering. I really wish there was a law against it and they could be charged with animal brutality, because that’s what it is. I love you guys for stepping in where many owners don’t and for opening your hearts and doors to these beautiful creatures. You’re beautiful souls and I love you , respect you, so much. 🙏🏻🌻🌻🌻

Overcoming tragedy is Triumph in the end. Kudos to you Tawnee. Keep up the great work.

Okay, the ladies in the office need a time out! Chicken stealling indeed. Thank you all for all the good you do! Blessed Be yall!

I enjoy seeing the x-rays. Thanks! Read them like you do. Keep up the good work.

You guys always make light of what you do, a crazy day that have me scream like a wild beast are just a long and exhausted day, You do a special thing for those horse's in your care and they need to say a Big thanks to you all and love you all in their own way if they had a apple to share with you or carrot choice is yours one and all xxxxxxxxx

I am so sorry for what happened to you. But this man showed his true colors and what was really in his heart. Keep doing what you do. Thank you for showing so much love and compassion to horses that never knew what love was. God bless you all.

Love how Dr. Lydia is teasing the vet techs about mare rectal fluids, how warm it makes her feel all over! So funny.

Tawnee, You are an angel on earth for all you do. Never let anyone say differently. Hugs

Bad people hide behind their abuse of others and blame others, to shift the wrong doing from themselves. I have watched your channel for ages now, and the love , care and kindness you show n give to all the creatures in your care, is phenomenal. Turn the other cheek on the haters and keep on doing what you do best.. rescuing and loving the animals.

Please take care of yourself Tawnee. Just know you are so admired by the horse community and all you do to save these horses. Love to you and all your friends and family. ❤🙏🙏🙏

Will we still see Dr Scott and Dr Lydia when the new vet starts? They are like part of the family.

Tawnee, thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know that there are many people out here in your audience who believe in you, and truly believe that the assault on you was not something that you asked for or deserved. No, you are not guilty. Yes, you handled it perfectly. Keep up the good fight for the horses you save, and remember those of us who understand the pain you go through just watching these wounded souls you rescue. It's taxing. It's hard. But for the love of these animals, you are doing the job of an angel. Thank you and all of Horse Plus.

God Bless y'all and all y'all do to take care of all the horses🙂😇❤️🐎

all gourgous HORSES 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏they can all get the medical and help they need

Shawnee you are such an inspiration in so many ways. Thank you for being you and doing what you do. Peace, Love, and Blessings.

Youur organization does NOT make decision for a last act of kindness without a need for it. That iscwhy I like your channel. You have passed this caring to the shelters that you sponser. Each act of kindness hurts you, we can see that you put what is best for each horse first. Thank you for what you do to help animals. Sorry you had to experience being assaulted. Prayers for healing and getting through this difficult time. God Bless and Thank you for making a difference in so many horses lives. Even those that need the last act of kindness, they know peace not fear in their last moments. You and your staff and the mentoring ARE making a difference for better treatment for animals.

OMG that last light grey donkey✨-trotting along with those ears. MY HEART🥰💛

We all love you and care about you! Stay strong love! 💜 Thank you for all you do for the equine community!

Sooo glad u now have a vet at auction to give them some kindness when dying and not squashed into a truck

Love you tawnee ♥️♥️♥️your such a brave and wonderful person..🌹🙏🏻to hold no grudges takes a really special person ....hold your head high and do what you do best .. taking care of horses that people don’t .....♥️🙏🏻🌹🌹🙏🏻♥️

Tawnee, I have heard and proven it true that people who denigrate others will used abusive terms which apply to themselves. A thief will call you a thief act, so you have a character reference straight out of an unpleasant persons own mouth.

You guys are doing amazing work, Tawnee. I'm so sorry that those owners chose to be this way and take it as far as assault. Seeing this I'm really glad you guys were as careful as you were about Apache's adoption process. I hope old and new owners have not and will not cross paths.

So sorry you were abised‼️ Especially at a church event. The enemy is definitely alive and well. So hlad you are doing better. Tha nk you for being an advocate for the animals. God bless you & your team members.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

WOW, I've experienced crazy violent, control people like this before, they have so many issues and need a mirror to say all their issues to. I'm so sorry you got frightened and assulted but know you are always doing the right thing, I first thought wow how can these people possibly turn up at church, but after watching your video, hmmm maybe it's exactly where they need to be, sending Love to all xxooxoxoxooxo
