Abandoned Work Horse Has The Happiest Reaction To Getting His Hooves Trimmed | The Dodo Heroes 

Terrible. We cannot treat animals like this. They need to be happy, retire and live the rest of the life happy.

This broke me, horses are such noble creatures and they serve us humans with so much loyalty, cannot imagine what they go through when they are no longer wanted. Shame on the human race is all I can say. 😥

When I was on a training exercise in Alberta Canada I actually witnessed 1000's of wild horses running free on the plains. It was absolutely Beautiful.

Hero is not the right word for this young woman. She is a superhero. Rescuing horses from being killed and giving them green pastures to run in--all this takes hard work, dedication, and strength. Thank you.

This poor horse is another example of "owners" treating their animals like commodities and, when they've outlived their "usefulness" are abandoned, neglected or slaughtered. One can only wonder how well they were treated *before* they were tossed away. It's heartening to know that some folks are willing to step up and give these wonderful creatures a second chance at a happier life! Bravo! 👏👏😊💕💕

These people deserve millions of dollars for giving those horses a retirement

It's unbelievable that someone let a ten year old horse get in such poor condition. I'm glad you rescued him.

I am Native, anyone needing help with horses should contact me, I have a gift that the animals all love me. And I've done animal rescue my entire life and I love doing it!! ❤️ May the Great Spirit watch over you. 🙏

This video really brought tears to my eyes. That horse looked so mistreated/abused. Thank the lord for these rescue teams, they make such a great and meaningful impact on this Earth. ❤️

Imagine walking in shoes that don’t fit you, how uncomfortable and in pain you’d be. You all did him such a great service.

Sincerest gratitude to the folks in this video and everyone involved with rescuing animals in need. May God bless you all and assist you in your work🙏🏼

I’m 69, and my Dad raised horses. They were his life. This brought tears to my eyes. I didn’t realize they have kill pens. My Dad is in Heaven, but I know he would tell you how thankful he is to me you. I say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You’re angels. 🙏💗

When I was little, we "acquired" a couple of horses. I learned later that they had been abandoned and my mom rescued them. We were poor, but we never went hungry, and neither did those horses. People thought we were rich because we had horses, little did they know, lol. She traded guitar lessons and babysitting for vet visits and hoof trims. Of course, back then, there were open fields and lots of wooded areas where we could ride and they could feed. I spent many summer days in the woods. God, I miss that. Now all those areas are built up. Horses are such amazing creatures --- they are so much more intelligent than we give them credit for. Growing up with them taught me a lot about trust, healing, and love. God bless this woman and her crew.

They have worked their entire life. Give them years of enjoying the world around them. They should not be discarded like trash. Bless the people who rescued them.

People don’t realize that these magnificent creatures are just as loving and devoted and full of personality as any dog or cat. Bless these people forever for rescuing them.

I'm in the UK and I couldn't sleep tonight; it's 3:17. I came across your video and I will sleep better knowing that there's people like yourselves who are showing such kindness to animals. Those beautiful horses repay that kindness back to you. It really is so heart warming. Thank you for sharing this video x

I'm sitting over here crying like a baby. Horses are beautiful, hard working and loyal creatures. Seeing any animal abused/neglected breaks my heart. Thank God there are people like you who care enough to help as many animals as you can. Thank you ❤️❤️.

I'm a grown man but I'm not ashamed to admit seeing all those neglected horses in that "kill pen" nearly made me cry. I just do not understand how anybody can treat these beautiful majestic creatures like throw-away work tools...they are living, breathing souls just like us! This team of rescuers are wonderful people ❤

The women running this rescue are some badass home girls in my book. Stay safe and strong I wish you continued success in your amazing work. Every woman and girl every human being should consider finding something they're passionate about that does good work in our world. This is really beautiful. Saving lives one at a time. What an honorable beautiful thing to do with majestic animals.

Seeing those beautiful creatures in a pen waiting to be slaughtered broke my heart. Thank you for your hard work in rescuing so many.

For all the therapy benefits that horses provide to people, there should be state and nationally funded programs to provide care for these beautiful creatures. It’s a win win situation. Thank you for making this video and for all that participate in the daily funding and maintenance of rescuing these sweet animals.

The kill pen is a nightmare. Thank you for rescuing fellow Earth beings who have done nothing wrong but were used and then discarded. Anyone who does this to a living creature is bad. End of.

I cried hard at this. I'm so grateful for people like you who save these magnificent creatures. I don't know how people can use these horses as work horses & then dispose of them without a second thought. I don't understand how anyone can say any animal have no souls. You need only to look into their eyes to see it. Blessed Be you & all who do this work. I have a friend who moved to Eastern Oregon, bought a ranch & now she works with horse rescues.

God bless you for rescuing these beautiful animals. They are truly amazing creatures and the work you are all doing is SO wonderful. Keep up the great work! 🤍

All animals deserve love and respect.

The genuine love this girl has for these horses is magical.

Allison Smith is a wonderful woman for dedicating herself to these beautiful steeds. It was incredible seeing Shane's transformation from shuffling, bony and forsaken to trotting, brawny and loved. Best wishes to Colby's Crew Rescue, indeed a noble group touched by the divine.

You are so lovely people! ❤ On behalf of the rescued animals, thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😘😘😘😘😘

That’s amazing. What a turn around. His whole color changed. I love stories like this.

So incredibly grateful that there are people out there doing this work.

Thank you to all who make sure to spread love and kindness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏽

Thank you for rescuing those horses. You guys deserve a lot of kudos! :)

Horses are giant dogs. I can't imagine killing a dog. People that spend their lives to rescue any animal and make them whole again are heros in my book. Honestly, I've only ever rescued and adopted dogs, especially older ones or ones that have been in the system too long. They have been the best friends and the most loving in my experience. You can feel the love and appreciation everytime you look at them

None of God's creatures should EVER be murdered or put to slaughter. This absolutely breaks my heart. Thank you beautiful angels fir saving these precious creatures ❤️❤️

Those who care for the animals will be rewarded by The Creator!! BRAVO Sister 👏👏👏👏👏

Always love seeing Ally's work! She is a true horsr whisperer

Breaks my heart to see that Kill pen , as a horse owner for over 45yrs it still amazes me how these beautiful animals can be so mistreated . In my mind you guys have the best job in the world , although deciding which horse from that group you were willing to take with you and give them a better life , this must be in no doubt extremely hard to do . . I wish you continued success with the work that you do. God bless you all .

I'm so glad you guys saved all those horses.

We, as a species, have so much to thank horses for. It breaks my heart to know that they go to slaughter. My paternal grandfather (born in 1890) served for the entirety of the Great War, having volunteered in 1914. As he lay dying in 1980, unfortunately he was lapsing in and out of consciousness and at times was revisiting the horrors he underwent in Belgium. His last words were “the horses, the horses, we’ve got to save the horses”. In civilian life he was a farmer and always had a soft spot for horses. Wo betide any farm worker who mistreated any horse.

Was not expecting to cry tonight, yet here I am🥺 The love I have for horses is indescribable and I praise God for them.

I am glad this beautiful horse had a second chance! Breaks my heart to think people could bring harm to animals. Not sure what’s happened to them to treat animals with such disregard to inflict pain. I am so happy there are amazing people that love and care for animals! It’s rewarding to love, save and care for animals - they provide unconditional love to your life! Thank you to everyone that loves and cares for these beautiful horses! 😘🐴♥️🐎 ♥️

God bless this woman and her crew

Heartfelt Thank you thank you for all the rescues !! I pray that “ kill pens” will one day stop existing- criminal. Horses are amazingly wondrous creatures . Their majestic bearing is awesome to behold. May your rescue goals be attained and surpassed!❤

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving these precious beauty's. What beautiful people you are ❤. God bless you for your loving kindness. I love horses. Wish I could rescue one myself. The world needs more folks like you.

I love how this girl, Alli I think, is so good with the horses… she has a beautiful gift with taking care of them. I’ll never understand how anyone could be so cruel to these amazing animals.

Horses are one of God's most beautiful and magnificent creations.

I have nothing but thee utmost respect for you and your rescue mission. Heartbreaking and elation at the same time.

He’s just beautiful and so regal!! I’m so glad you rescue him and showed him proper care and love. ❤ People like you are so wonderful. What a beautiful story. The people who are mistreating and neglecting these beautiful animals should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

You guys are angels on earth! He looks and shows that he feels amazing!! Seeing him barely able to walk killed me!! Brought me to tears… I live in the city, but I’ve always wanted horses!! They’re such amazing beings!! Thank you 🙏🏻 for all that you do!!

Amazing how many people treat animals as if they are disposable. Just sad. Can't say enough about people like you and the work you do. Thank you.

My eyes are filled with tears and my heart is filled with gratitude to you for saving these noble animals who are given so little and from whom so much is taken. They deserve to be given a peaceful retirement and not be simply sold by the pound for their meat! How horrible that people would do that to a gentle, loving animal who wants only to give love and to be loved. Many, many blessings on you and on those who work beside you to heal the visible and invisible wounds these wonderful beings have suffered! Bless you, bless you! Much love from Tennessee!

Wow, Eighty Horses!!!!! you guys are heroes. I Luv u guys! If you're not heroes. You're my hero! God Bless you and thank you.

Your beautiful people to save these beautiful horses. God bless you.

Not many videos like these bring tears to my eyes, but this one, this one really got me, such beautiful creatures

You are all ANGELS and God Bless you All!❤😊

I would give millions to this mission ❤️🙏🏼

What an selfless, empathetic, giving group of people. A blessing to animals. I wish there was no killing of all healthy/fixable animals! Thanks to this group for opening your hearts and homes.

I am so glad that people like this lady exsist. 80 horses saved is a lot of time, money and work. What a beautiful and grateful horse :)

How could anyone neglect an animal to that extent. God bless y'all for rescuing him

I was overwhelmed to see these horses rescued and given the love and care that they do deserve!. Horses need the care and the human touch just like humans do.....well done!.

Man is unworthy of the earth he’s been given. But this gives you hope. Well done.

That’s the definition of a true hero! ❤

Ally is THE horse whisperer. She is amazing. Love watching her u tube video clips.

I love how he leaned into both care takers to get kisses while getting a trim.

Why are so many ppl cruel too animals??😔The love you get from taking care of them are priceless❤️

I so admire people like you who pour your heart and soul in to saving these majestic, loyal creatures. Seeing all those other horses stressed out in the kill pens was heart breaking, human beings have a lot to answer for. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you for all that you do for these horses. It's a shame that people can be so cruel.

Pretty cool. Wish I was a horse person and could offer a home to these magnificent creatures.

I can relate to this. I’m not comfortable around horses, never have been. Frankly, I’m afraid of them. However, my wife ended getting a older rescue horse that was in pretty bad shape. Honestly, we probably paid too much for him, but there was no way we were going to let him suffer one more minute. It’s been a long road getting him back in shape, and we’ve got a long way to go, but like the woman in the video, he’s woken something inside me I didn’t know was even there. That’s what I want to do, too.

I can only say thank you to those who can and have the ability to save these poor horses. Thankyou so much.

I would love to help Colby rescue-Big John’s story touch my heart -especially when u noticed “he was grateful for your care”of course because u took most of his physical pain away-I am grateful to you for caring for “Big John”

This hit me hard. I just started working at a horse sanctuary, after 15 months at a long-term care center. I felt like I won the lottery the first time one of the horses let me kiss their nose.

Horses are such beautiful animals. So glad to see they were all rescued.

The world needs more exceptional peole like this.

Simply AWESOME, YOU GUYS ROCK, thanks for all you do 🐴

I worked with a horse and large animal rescue for 10 years. Some of the things I saw really changed me. When you get a rescue animal that is so terrified of life to open up and start to trust...there is nothing like it in this world. Its hard, dirty, heartbreaking work. but when you watch the spark come back into these animals eyes, it makes it all worth it.

Wow, thank you for giving him a brand new life where he can walk and run without hinderance and pain ❤️🐼

You're all great people and the horses are amazing. You all do a great job 🙏❤

The only thing that I can say is GOD BLESS YOU AND LOVE YOU for all that you do for these beautiful and noble animals.

Unfortunately so many cruel and abusive humans roam this earth….at least likewise so many kindhearted ones rescue them and give them the love and care they deserve ❤️

I’ve been watching her in TT Big John. She is such a beautiful woman inside and out. She’s so humble and kind. The world needs lots of copies of her

Wow look at his beautiful healthy coloring. Thank You for rescuing him and any horses ❤

I love rescue stories. Unfortunately my rescue dog threw his back out yesterday trying to jump on the bed. This morning he would walk but only as far as I did, then he would flop on the floor. This afternoon he wouldn't even walk. I rolled/lifted him onto a blanket and had the neighbor help me carry him into the car using the blanket as a soft stretcher. He's spending the next few days in the emergency vet's till they can give him a CT scan and get a treatment plan going. I already miss him.

I do not understand how anyone could treat a living, breathing creation like this. Thank you for saving this beautiful horse.

That is heartbreaking to see such gentle giants be treated so cruelly. Glad to see someone who cared enough to do something about this. 80 horses is pretty impressive. Congratulations!

seeing that "kill pen" with all the horses just broke me; cried like a baby. Thank god for these people, and those like them. True heroes.

Oh I’m going to cry! See him run is beautiful! God bless you!🇨🇦

The trot after his first trim. He’s like “I can trot, ….freedom” I couldn’t think how painful it would be to walk on those overgrown hooves. You could tell he knew the farrier was their to help him and he was such a good boy getting his hooves trimmed. I’m going to donate, your work is amazing you are literally 😇😇😇

Brought me to tears. How that anyone neglect an animal is beyond me. Those that help such animals are saints in my eyes.

God bless this girl and what she is doing. 👍👍👍

I'm so glad you folks are here.

I have a horse. There’s a special connection they have with the ones who love them. If you like the smell of hay and a barn full of horses, you love them. This was both amazing and HEARTBREAKING. We also have a donkey named Tilly. She loves getting her nails “done” and she’s so sweet. Horses are grateful, appreciative and ornery too. How anyone could neglect, hurt or do this has no SOUL. You guys are more than caring humans..You are THE BEST KINDS OF CARING HUMANS. Our horse came from Nevada and was once wild. She has a number branded along side her neck under her beautiful mane. She’s called Nugget. From the mines of Virginia City. Mustang. I’m going out to the paddock and hugging her AGAIN. 🤗 🥺

Never ceases to amaze me what love can do. Beautiful, heartwarming story. Animals have nothing but love to give … all we have to do is accept it. 🥰

Thank you so much for helping these beautiful horses.🐴

You beautiful human. My heart is beating right now and I feel so grateful for your presence on this earth. What a gift you are . Absolutely amazing what you are doing and what you’ve done. Bless and thank you 🙏☀️🌟🌟☀️☀️🌟🌟☀️

Followed them since Colby. She’s an Angel for these horses. So happy to see her featured on here.

Who could ever send their horse to a kill pen? Why kill such a beautiful, loving creature? So happy to know you're helping to rescue those wonderful horses!

God Bless you, God Bless you, God Bless you!! I'm so happy you saved 80 horses amd gave them a new lease on life. Thank you

Wow look how much weigh he gained. Yay! That was so beautiful it made me cry.

As a person who formerly owned horses and has horse as an animal spirit, Thank you for giving your time, attention and LOVE to such beautiful, amazing beings 🥰💚
