Thank God. We were so worried about you Sir and missing you. Praying for a full recovery. Sending you love across the ocean

Everyone is wishing you a fast recovery doc!

Where is he gone?

@@Viktorijasummer I think he was having some health issues if I remember correctly.

@@candicegateley9238 i hope he will get better 🙏 he daes wonderful job ❤️❤️❤️🐴🐎

Sending prayers and healing energy. Get well soon.

My thoughts exactly

💚💚💚 Green for good health wishes to Doc!

I believe that's this is one main thing Tawnee is absolutely awesome about is maintaining the focus of the rescue on the animals. Plus, the fact their number of adoptions have increased dramatically! The # of available horses is LESS than the adopted for the month! This is a good bellwether of focus on the animals, IMO. I don't see any designer jeans or handbags yet! 🤣

Shelby and Caleb are with Jason and Tawnee filming as they are checking out the 4 finalists for Hirse Rescue Heroes. I think they are at the first rescue in Florida. Jessie, Maddy and Sarah were let go for working with kill buyers at the auctions in November 2021. The other Sara left to go back to college, but is now back part time and going to college. She missed everyone. ❤

My old mare would lean, lean, lean until she was suddenly on the otherside of the fence. She would then realize that she wasn't at home anymore. Then she would whinney and cry to come home. I would have to walk around all the other property lines to collect her. She never realized she could lean home again. ☹

They have addressed it, several times. Jessie, Maddy and Sarah were all let go because they were working the auctions and riding on sick and skinny horses. Also were consorting with the kill buyers, which was all in violation of what HPHS stands for. This happened last November. I think that other stuff was going on, such as not following orders. The new employees they have are really phenomenal and really care about all the animals and love giving them treats and love. ❤

@@lisacopeland9271 oh really I never knew that. Thanks for letting me know!!

Awesome! Thank you!

😂

With donkeys and mules this where alot of people have problems as they're not as flighty as horses are. You can't just make them move as they're smart, you have to give them a reason to move or to listen to you. Which is why alot of standard training methods you use with horses won't work on them. Methods such as CAT-H and R+ work exstremely well on these equine.

And yet Cory and the others manages to make connections with frightened and abused horses while doing things their way. 🤷‍♀️

@@sallywaites8517 I never said it didn't work..What Cory was doing wasn't wrong but it's not how I'd word it or the type of mindset I'd have with it. As you'll get idiots beating their horses to show em who's boss/alpha. Horsemanship is the most common training method with horses as it's the easiest to do, even someone with zero horse experience can run a horse around in a roundpin and get the horse to do things for them especially when the horse is scared what will happen if they don't listen. Also to add onto this, *horsemanship actually makes alot of abused horses worse* as they shut down Pressure and Release is the huge factor of that. Shut down horses can be more dangerous as they block everything out, so when they pop out of being shutdown they're seen as unpredictable.

Technically in the world of horses its the Mare. So its a Omega. That rules the roost.

@@Areyousayingidontknowmyname omega in the outdated since means the lowest in the pecking order. Dominance doesn't equal being the leader but it equals survival so with wild horse herds both mares and stallions are mostly equal. The mares decide when to mate, where to go, knowing the land etc while the stallions job is to protect, mate and keep everyone together. Which is why you'll see the stallion hanging in the back or middle of the herd rarely in front unless there's a threat. In captivity it's way different. We aren't having stallions and mares together. And alot of the roles these horses had in the wild are not needed in captivity. Such as protection, breeding, keeping the herd together, traveling etc so the stallions/geldings loose alot of their use in the herd. But some geldings can still show stud behavior in keeping the herd together which is often done without the concent of the other geldings and mares. *In captivity there is alot more violence and aggression towards eachother over limited resources, lack of socialization and boredom which people often mistake for the boss horse.*

I’ve wondered about the same- Sarah, Jesse and Madie were full of heart, know how and were obviously very special people. Not to take away from the present ones being featured- but why the high turnover of helpers? I love what this organisation accomplishes, but wonder what sort of pressure is going on for the employees?

Jessie, Maddy and Sarah were all let go in November 2021. They were working with kill buyers at the auctions. Also when they weren't on film they were very lax in caring for the animals. it was recently mentioned that they were asked to give the horses treats a lot and they didn't. I think the new employees are much better at caring about the animals

@@lisacopeland9271 Thanks so much for your response- I’m very sad to learn this, but it relieves my concern about the turn-over. Now I understand and will continue to financially support their efforts.

@@lisacopeland9271 What do you mean by working with the kill buyers? They seemed to care about the horses I thought at least.

@@Sissel08 Jessie was riding the sick/skinny horses in the auctions was my understanding. And Maddie and Sarah thought that it was okay that she did that. HPHS' mission is to rescue and protect these types of horses, not assist them to be sold for slaughter. 😪

I wondered where they went too. And Sarah the one that used to help Doc out a lot.

Yeah! I know I miss Jessie and Sarah and Shelby maybe they quit?

@@hsedecanter Jessie is gone, but Sarah and Shelby are on the media team, so they are in the background working.

@@lynnbetts4332 they had 2 Sarah's, the one who was doing the office manager job, she'd often great doc when he arrived and helped with the vet lists, the other one was behind the camera and cat mad, if you're talking about the first one she's also gone

Health issues so he is resting 😢

@@hsedecanter thanks

I think they left for college

Jessie no longer works for HPHS. Sarah went away to college, but has recently come back. She's continuing her school online while working there.

@@HughLlewellyn that's true about Sara. The other Sarah, Jessie and Matty were let go for jeopardizing the reputation of the rescue. You can go back and watch the previous videos to get caught up...

@@rosegarden9575 I purposely didn't mention why they were let go. I leave it up to HPHS to talk about that. It's sad though. I really liked them too.

@@HughLlewellyn HPHS released a public statement video anout those employees leaving, as sad as it was. Anyone can look up the video...HPHS did right and has nothing to hide.

They don’t work at the rescue anymore.

@@rebeccaha934 why not, do you know? I really like them.

OH NO!! I loved them the best 😭🥺

I'm pretty sure Shelby is still there, she's on the media team and usually does the auction rescues

Shelby's still there. Jessie no longer works there. Sarah was off at school but has recently returned.

There is allways a leader in a herd or a pack. Some call it alpha, some call it a leader 😊

Check out Pat Parelli or Craig Cameron on KZfaq for references...both are legends in Natural Horsemanship. They talk about the fact that there is a hierarchy in a herd and a leader...to be safe and effective that leader needs to be the human. Same is true of dogs and Wolves just take a look at Cesar Milan training with packs of dogs also on KZfaq. I don't know where you got your info that the hierarchy of packs or herds is debunked?

@@rosegarden9575 the guy who came up with the 'Alpha" theory observed only captive wolves and has spent a very long time recanting his words and trying to tell people that he was wrong. Cesar Milan uses outdated training methods and his methods have been rejected by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. I don't know much about Pat Parelli or the other fellow you mentioned, but some much better natural horsemanship trainers are Buck Brannaman and Warwick Schiller. The thing is, dominance-based training IS outdated. Pressure-Release works, but R+ training has been proven as the best way to train animals, especially dogs and horses. Most mustang trainers I follow actually use a combination of pressure and release and R+. Being a leader isn't inherently a bad thought process to have, but you need to remember even in wild herds the hierarchy isn't always set and leaders will change frequently based on resources available and the changing environments. With domestic herds, that can still be true, but environmental conditions and resources available tend to be much more steady, and herd members don't tend to change frequently, so there's not as much of a need for the hierarchy to be challenged. For wolves (and coyotes), there is no such thing as alphas. Packs are family units, consisting of the breeding pair/parents and their offspring, and sometimes other wolves allowed into the pack.

@@TrineMoller Leia is right, the alpha-dominance theory is old and outdated, and has been debunked by the very man that created it. Wolf packs are family units consisting of the parents and their offspring, so it's only natural that the parents tend to be more "dominant" than their offspring, just like with humans. For horses - it's been a well-known fact that "leaders" of herds (wild or domestic) can and will change depending on environmental conditions, availability of resources, and changing of herd members. Though there tends to always be 1 stallion per wild herd and 1 mare who shows more dominance than the others, it's never consistent. Being a leader is more about building trust and giving guidance than just TELLING them what to do. And as humans, we are capable of much more than just simply being the most dominant one in the field.

@@singularity613 I know. But your dog consider you the leader, not like alpha, but the member of the family who cares for them and work together with them. As an owner of two Tibetan Mastiffs I know that. If you try the alphashit on them, they will never trust you. Cooperation and trust are the only thing that works. BUT there are a leader that they look to for advice, so it really does not matter what name you put on that human ;-) That was what I ment 🙂

There's always one who finds something to moan about.

"IF YOU ARE A NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION" then you are required to make a public recognition post. "If you are a private horse owner you DON'T have to worry about that."

@@sallywaites8517 true! 🤣

@@sallywaites8517 what a dumb comment. Many people do not have fb, tik toks or whatever. I'm just learning the reasons why some employees were let go because apparently it was discussed on fb and I just follow here. What's wrong with people lately? You could be useful and tell the person she could use PayPal...

thank vou Jason

She needs a freaking Belgian!

in my country, they would not let her adopt. Is she really riding those poor horses??

She doesn't say anything about her ridning them. But I've thought about this a lot of times watching these videos. Is there a weight limit for riders who adopt? I live in Sweden and most riding schools would have a pretty strict limit, although depending on the riders balance and experience. I'm not familiar with western saddles, but they look heavier than English ones. That would mean extra weight. I might be wrong though.

Some people are adopting horses as pasture pets. Some for their kids or riding programs. The adopters you see may not be riders themselves. Never ASSume. Seriously. Also, a general rule of thumb is a horse can safely carry 20% of their weight, although shorter coupled horses can handle more weight than those with longer, weaker backs. All adopters at HPHS have been thoroughly vetted for suitability before being approved for adoption. How 'bout y'all let THEM be the judges of who's appropriate to adopt to.
