Please take note on these comments posted about how the Amish treat their horses.

When you said she's going to the Amish person I thought oh no that's not good. I don't mean to dish on them but I've seen many horses over worked broken down in the pipe line hope this doesn't happen to her. Please investigate further before sending her.❤

The Amish have a reputation for mistreating their horses. You should have done some research. Poor Charlotte. 😢

Be careful with the Amish. Make sure they take care of her and not leave her with nothing to eat or drink and overwork her. She is so sweet. I hate to see anything abused I know you check people out thoroughly.

Please do not send any horses to the amish . Horse plus human society in Tennessee rescues thousands of horses from the amish in horrible condition out of the saluted pipeline. Please please reconsider your decision!!!,

Thanks for taking me along on the goodbye ride for Maureen and Charlotte.

No,you are making a mistake. Their old horses go to slaughter!! Please rethink this decision, you are sending her to her death!! Awful decision from NC

Oh my gosh, I’m gonna be praying for these horses. So much information on how the Amish treat horses. It’s just heartbreaking. I don’t understand why you would sell them. I love God please take care of these horses. Please don’t let them be work to death in Jesus mighty name I pray. My heart is absolutely broken with this news. PeaceAndLove Lori

I don' t want to disparage all Amish, but I have seen over and over and over animals on the tv, that have gone up for auctions, and they are in terrible condition. She, most likely, won't have any fun...she will be used and worked to the max until she is used up and ends up in an auction....beaten down and without any life, even in her eyes . ... This breaks my heart💔 😥

It gets very cold there and both horses were raised in hot dry temperature and it is going to be rough on the horses especially lady with her age and her arthritis I am proud of you taking in horses and finding good homes Goodmorning Mrs Vickie what are you cooking up today God Bless sending prayers for you and the horses

You need to go to a horse auction in Amish country. You will change your mind

Eli Youder videos will explain why you need to be sure you don’t send Charlotte to her death.

I have heard horrible things about how the Amish treat their horses. I pray she will be in a good home.

It's wonderful to find good homes for the horses. When I lived in Oregon I was able to get horses out of the pipeline and find homes for them but now I'm in ca and it's crazy expensive to keep even one horse. There's another channel I watch online and they go to rescue at auctions where there are a LOT of horses being sold by the Amish so I hope this is a forever home for Charlotte. I'm still posting links for Jarrett across the country ♥

So sorry to see Charlotte go.

Please dont send to the amish. Shes been such a good pal to mareen. Maybe one day one of your grandchildren will want to jump her. I know its your business. Just not a fan of how a lot of the amish treat their horses.

Good afternoon Alan could you please turn the camera around so we could see the horses when you were talking? Wow I think a lot of people mentioned that would happen back when Maureen was riding her when she was pregnant running her and jumping her yeah I don’t know but I remember that discussion came up on the KZfaq. That’s so sad that she has to leave the farm and I thought you had said that she was the horse that anybody could ride and you wanted to keep her on the farm.😢

I used to give rides to the Amish also. It was in my car or truck. They don’t need a ride on a horse, they have plenty of those.

After watching so many rescue channels for years now, I would NEVER EVER give or sell a horse to the Amish. They are not all terrible to their horses, but many are. So many drafts and standard bred end up in auctions after they are worn down and broken. Most go to the kill buyers and the torment of all that on top of a life nothing but work. Sorry that is the way I feel, if you KNOW the Amish family, then perhaps that is different. I hope you do not regret this decisions. While I am at it, it is also a well known fact that the majority of puppy mills now are huge operations and owned by Amish In PA, Ohio and more. they sell online, you cannot go to the place, and they are selling the most wanted pure bred breeds at sometimes less than half of what a good breeder charges. They can do that because they breed thousands every year. Sorry again, ONLY and I mean ONLY if I had personal knowledge of Amish families, I would never buy a dog from them and I would never sell or give a horse away to them.

I have heard terrible things about how the Amish treat their horse please rethink this!!!!

Yes, we got a golden retriever puppy at Amish farm. So much breeding/inner breeding. We love our Willow, however she has vision issues since she was a puppy. They are good judges of horse flesh but they work their animals to death then dump them in the slaughter pipeline. Very poor decision. Anyone can show you a pretty pasture but that doesn't mean it is THEIR property. I preferred Duchess to Charlotte but so sorry for her to be going to Amish country. Im in Ohio so i know what this could mean for Charlotte.

Something sounds weird to me about this. I don't know why. I hope you check up on them after.

I sure will miss seeing Maureen on your channel. Please wish her safe travels back home. I don’t know much about the Amish people. After reading some comments I hope and pray Charlotte will have a safe and loving home where she is going.

I really hope they don't hook them older horses up to buggies. I'm in ohio and we have Amish and Mennonite here and they run them poor horses up and down the road on pavement all day sometimes. Lady couldn't handle that with her arthritis. I hope they do retire her.

What a beautiful last ride Marine! I'm going to really miss seeing you on the channel. I hope you come for a visit someday. Lots of love and blessings to you and your family. I know you family and friends are very anxious to have you home.

Give rides to the Amish?? That doesn't even make sense. They are self sufficient and don't get involved like that with towners. I grew up in Amish country - not Amish myself. Most of the Amish are notorious for using horses to the max as buggy horses and they are big about sending them to auctions when they're broken down. Check out alot of horse rescues and you'll find out what I'm saying is true. Yep, they don't want pictures of themselves taken but something is not right with this story. And I think sending a 21 year old arthritic horse that far is wrong!

You are going to get roasted going to the Amish. Not always great care there. Check out some of the auctions.😢

In the Midwest most rescue organizations rescue Amish horses. They try and get them healthy, and rehabbed to hopefully get adopted. Huge mistake!!….🍀🇺🇸

I agree with everyone, the Amish work their horse hard. My thoughts for Charlotte.

She has really began to be a true cowgirl. it has been fun watching her.

So sad to see both Charlotte and Maureen leaving the farm. But clearly Charlotte lived her best life while Maureen was there. You should frame that picture of Maureen and Charlotte on top of that hill in the badlands and give it to Maureen. It's a magnificent image. Wishing Maureen all the best in the next chapter of her young life. It has been a real pleasure watching her experience here in the states with your family.❤

Its too far to send the horses, especially the old one. Charlotte doesnt deserve to be sent to the amish. You could sell them nearer to home. Might not be worth rescuing them if they end up being illtreated when sold on

I think "the best" we can hope for Charlotte is that this particular Amish man saw an opportunity to pick up a cheap horse and re-sell it, hopefully to someone looking for a nice little saddle horse for their family. Fingers crossed.

We will miss you Maureen. Have a safe trip home and I hope you keep in touch with Allan and Vicki and I hope they keep us updated on you. Hope Charlene is going to a GOOD Amish family. I don't think I would sell a horse to them as they aren't forever homes for horses.

Good bye Maureen and God bless y'all

I’m nervous for Charlotte 😬

POOR Charlotte. Big mistake to give amish. Will end up in the slaughter pipeline. 😢

Alan can't you ask that they give you first refusal if they ever want to sell those two mares.

poor Charlotte I hope Ben is not going to work her to death. I really don’t think you should do this 😢

Wow that year has flown by so fast, I will miss Marine and Charlotte Alan, and I hope that Charlotte will be looked after and treated well by her new owner, please tell Marine that it was so lovely to meet her and have a safe journey home, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

​@margaretporkolab7166 I am pleased to hear that people are seeing a change in the approach of the Amish community towards their workhorses. However, all of the auctions that I am watching are current auctions. I would like to advocate for a clause, in the Sale Contract, allowing for annual review of the horse, to ensure that their physical and mental state is within the bounds of reason.

I live not too far from Amish Country in PA. I've been to several Amish Farms and seen firsthand the way their horses are treated. I've also been to the sales and it would break your heart. Please do not send Charlotte to them. They literally work their horses to death behind the buggies. Most are skinny and underfed for the work they do. I've seen barns where the horses can hardly stand because the concrete stall floors have broken holes here and there and no bedding. Yet they are proud of a good horse and would take offense at what I am saying. When a horse is used up they go to the sale and most end up going to slaughter. This is not a good ending for Charlotte.

I'm sorry for Charlotte. Be in a kill auction in a couple years or sooner.

We sold my childhood Shetland pony to the Amish, they had him for 2 weeks and he was dead, they shot him. I cried for days.

You’re sending a horse to AMISH people???????? PLEASE tell me you’re kidding!! That horse will be dead in no time.

I hope these turn out to be good homes for both Lady and Charlotte. 💖🙏💖

Marine has done very well with Charlotte. You will miss both of them.

Praying for both horses...I pray the move finds living their best life❤

Please tell Maureen we will certainly miss her.

I hope this works out well for these horses but am concerned and need to sign off…. prayers for these horses. 🙏

The Amish ask us englishers to drive them to the big cities for Dr appointments and etc.. They also pay the drivers. Yes they dont like pictures taken and the dolls have faces. You are right about the other things.

Sending to Amish is horrible my God be with them😢😢

Please don't let them take the horses, please 🙏. Hawaii 🌴. If i was closer i would take them for my grand daughter, she graduated vet. school. Now back home as a vet. She loves horses, and so do I. Please don't send them there 😢😢

I very rarely comment on anything BUT what on earth are you thinking selling to the Amish is a life time of , at best not the life she deserves at worst ill treatment for the poor horse. Even if this Amish family are decent and care for Charlotte what happens when she is sold on! I shudder to think She deserves much better 😢

My prayers going up for Charlotte and Maureen. May God’s security and protection overflow on both of them.

the Amish life in NO life. I don't normally chime in on the choices others make but I have a very strong dislike for how the Amish treat their animals. They are not pets to them. They are nothing but tools to be used until they can no longer function. I am very sad for this horse. She is going from your loving home to be used with no love until she dies. Bless you and your family and poor Charlette.

Sad😢

From the rescue Belgian horses I have seen the Amish are cruel to their horses. Amish country is fine, but the Amish themselves I am unsure of big time.

BAWLING LIKE A BABY, watching Maurine riding Charlotte for the last time. 😭😭😭😭😭. I live in Michigan. Charlotte will probably be a buggy horse. The Amish do not own motor vehicles. Some do use tractors, but the larger percentage use draft horses to plow and do other farm chores. I'm definitely gonna miss Charlotte and seeing Maurine sitting in the saddle.

Waw waw waw what a landscape!!!❤❤❤❤

She loads really well

Hope you can keep in touch with Charlotte's new owners.

Marine is going home and Charlotte in going to a new home also. Marine has taught her well and the new people will get a well-trained horse.

Have them send a close up of their horses and barns and stables.

😱 poor ol gal!

Absolutely and have a suspicion the reason she spooked may have been perhaps the rattling of a rattle snake ...since Charlotte was out in the wild on the reservation I bet she had heard that sound before and spooking was self preservation and instinct kicking in...hope her new owner appreciates what a special horse she is

Where are they in Mi? _I would love to know where they are. Thanks.

Bad choice sending the horse to Amish country

❤❤❤❤ very exciting

😢 we will Maureen and Charlotte❤❤

The thing I love about all these negative comments about the Amish is that NONE OF THEDE PEOPLE know the family on question. I don't see them offering to adopt Lady. The family on question isn't even Amish!

I smashed the like button after reading the coordinated troll comments. 😂❤

❤❤

To the Amish? NOOOO.

Please don't hold it against Charlotte... any horse can spook. That's a risk all riders take. But I do hope that she is treated well and has found a kind, loving home.

On a different note---Maurine has become quite the Cowgirl during her time in Arizona! It will be sad to say good-bye. All your Equestrians (just about) are leaving.

Bye Moreen and Charlotte we will miss you both.

Amish treat their animals horrible

This decision will hurt your channel

You must be a little sad to see Marine go. I would bet that Marine is a bit sad to part from Charlotte. They have been a good team! The 21 year old Paint mare is very pretty. I’m glad she will have a good home for her last days.

DONT GIVE THEM THE HORSE!!!!!!

Charlotte was a sweetheart... always ... You gave up on her after an incident in which you don't have any idea what actually happened.... ??? So much for loyalty and devotion on your part ! Now, letting Charlotte go to who knows where, to who knows who, to be used fir who knows what ? . I cannot believe that you're in the horse business and have no knowledge of how the Amish treat their work horses and the only horses they have are work horses; especially since you buy many of your horses at auction. I am feeling so disgusted at your callousness right now... Actually believing that your smoith talk is going to smooth over the reality.

❤

Please go to Golden Spur rescue to see what the Amish do to horses 🥺🥺

Not to the Amish

the best horse will spook, I have happen to me many times , you just don't know. does not make it a bad horse, could have been a snake. I am glad that she is ok. I just though you would send the horse with her.

Looks like another successful re-homing. Praying the horses will adjust to the winters there

Please don't send them to the Amish! Just don't.

Amazing how things work out!

So i guess you dont wanna sell a horse back to a navajo person that has ask afew times for a horse . Jus say you dont wanna sell to a navajo

💖 So happy Lady found an awesome retirement home! 💖 It's sad to see Charlotte go but she's young and has alot to offer a new owner! It'll be a great life for her! 💖

Glad the Horses 🐎 are getting good homes. Sorry to see Marin leave but I sure she glad to go home to her Family and Friends. Will miss seeing her and watching her ride.She Beautiful young woman. Bye-bye will miss you.

I'm going to miss Marine and Scarlett. Scarlett and Marine were one!

I have to agree with those who are shocked that you would sell to the AMISH! They are so hard on their horses and do not hesitate to send them to the auction to be shipped to Canada and slaughtered for meat. SO, SO disappointed you would do this!

Alan I saw some of the Live the other day. You telling us about Mareen and her accident. Where did this Paint horse Lady come from there hasn't been a video about this horse? Alan has Lex had her foal yet?

What has happened to Charlotte? Did you send her to the Amish?

Transportation doesn't seem to be the problem. Amish would be my last choice, dude😢

I have Amish friends here in Indiana . They are great with the horses.

I wouldnt let any of my animals go to the Amish , that includes horses, dogs , cats , that animals in most cases end up being worked until they cannot because of old age or injury then they end up in auctions then to slaughter in Mexico or Canada ......
