Episode 72
Most all weeks on the farm with our Rescued Belgian Draft Horses are amazing and these horses teach us something new everyday. Such as how to love, trust, respect others in the herd and how to forgive other for actions of the past.
However, this past week was absolutely devastating. If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram you will have already seen the post that Paisley passed away in her sleep on Saturday August 26, 2023. We went out to the barn to feed everyone breakfast and found her in one of the runs. From our security camera she passed peacefully between 7am and 9am. We were completely shocked and devastated by the loss. Paisley was a sweet old girl and will be missed dearly.
Again on Tuesday August 29th we had another horrible day as we had to rush a horse to the vet for colic. Colic is a term used to describe a symptom of abdominal (belly) pain, which in horses is usually caused by problems in the gastrointestinal tract. There are over 70 different types of intestinal problems that cause colic symptoms, which range from mild to severe (life-threatening) in nature. Because colic is often unpredictable and frequently unpreventable, it’s a common concern for horse owners.
The horses taught us something again...you should always live in the moment and regret nothing! Love unconditionally! Tell the ones you love what they mean to you! Don't neglect the ones that love you! Never give up! Never pass up a chance to say I love you because tomorrow is never guaranteed or promised.
“Tomorrow is not promised to us. Start dancing in the rain and look for your rainbow through the storm clouds. Once you find it, don’t ever let it go.” - Amelia Hutchins

Thank you! We knew we would have to endure heartbreak however we didn't think it would be 2 in one week. We gave them the best few months of their lives and thats why we do what we do. Thank you for watching!

@RoBA7 Год назад

@@FletcherFarmsAmarillo Thank you for taking the time answering! Glad you understand and are prepared for what might come. I can only guess about the feelings of the people who prepared them for slaughter - possibly being aware of what else was ahead of them. Watching several farm channels on RU-vid, I understand farmers who state „every animal on the farm has its purpose“ - some work, some leg eggs, produce milk and some for meat…. If their purpose is over, that’s when they are sent to slaughter. That’s how farming works. And in some cases, it prevents them from suffering. You do a great job and have a beautiful mind, but this should be in your mind, too!

Paisley was so lucky to have come to you…..it’s a very hard thing to run a retirement home, not for the retirees, but for the care givers. Each day is a blessing for these horses, and these horses are blessed to be with such kind, caring folk. Thank you for all you do for them.

@bettycrocker6692 Год назад

Think how much worse Finn and Paisley's time on earth would have been without your intervention. They had solid months of freedom, good food, companionship, and love before their unexpected ends. Both deaths were still far better than dying miserably in some Mexican slaughterhouse. THANK YOU BOTH FOR EVERY KIND THING YOU DO FOR THESE EXPLOITED HORSES!

Ya know Julie, coming from a rescuer background, the ones that are most hard to win their trust, they become soo special because of the time invested in them. It's just that much harder when you have to part from one another!!! Omgoodness the stories I could tell you from 30 years! But, just know, they are celebrating together w their Creator and their new family they now are with. The scene, where Finn comes running in, from the pasture, neighing as he approaches you, well, just shows, how much he loved you! You won his trust and his heart! What a reward you received from your boy!!! I just was taken back!!! What a journey you and Cory are on!!! A very special journey, my friend! Always remember, it's not goodbye, it's, I'll see you on the other side! Bless you and Corey!! May God feel your broken hearts w a new strength and determination to meet another! ❤🐎❤️

Paisley passed away in the kindest, gentlest, most natural way possible. Please try to celebrate that. We all have to go sometime and every horse should be so lucky as beautiful Paisley. You saved her from a nightmare destiny of being loaded in a truck headed to the horrors of the slaughterhouse. I feel for your suffering. You are doing God's work and need to protect your own heart. You and your husband are anointed and very very special. I will continue to donate when able. God Bless.

Amen for giving these precious life-forms their better days at the end of their lives. You made sure they were comfortable, gave them space to unwind and discover who they are outside of being a workhorse.

Thank you, for making this happen and for creating this lovely sanctuary for these precious souls.

Thank you for sharing something so hard. I am crying with you. I have never been a horse lover, living where I did. But I happen to join your sight when you rescued Finn. I will never forget him ignoring you, until he met his lady nose to nose at the fence. It was if a lonely lady was assuring him, no matter what, he would be loved here. Then he got his first belly rub. O my goodness. I felt as empathic with him as you did. So, thank you so much for giving me a chance to love with you, these amazing beautiful Belgian horses. One day, I just hope I can pet a horse, and experience life's energy of trust. Again thank you for loving Paisley and Finian and giving them the best life.

You rescued her, comforted her, and gave her love and peace for her last days. It's always hard, no matter how much you think you're prepared. She had a hard life till she got to you. Colic is one of the deepest fears of horse lovers and owners, second only to fractures. It's awful. I'm so sorry you had such an awful week. Take care of yourself. You gave them love and safety.

@FletcherFarmsAmarillo Год назад

Thank you for the kind words and support during this difficult time! Colic is horrible and just comes out of nowhere. I do know one thing...with these older horses I don't think we will ever put them through another surgery. We should have brought Finn back to the farm where he was comfortable. We would have had him put down here. We didn't get a chance to say goodbye.

@ginmar8134 Год назад

@@FletcherFarmsAmarillo You know, hindsight is 20. Colic is a nightmare but you had no way of knowing precisely how bad it was. I'm so glad there are mobile vets around here, because my poor old kitty had a stroke one night and died in my arms. She crawled down the stairs. It was awful. I had painkillers left over from another kitty who died of cancer far too young. I'd hope your vet keeps you stocked with various meds for the horses, given their age. I blanched when I saw the necrotic section of intestine. Prey animals are very good at hiding pain and illness. Colic in a horse is a horrible, sudden thing. I'm so sorry, again. It never gets easier, even if you think you're prepared for it.

Omg , I've watched the entire memory vlog in a mix of welling up and full on tears..... hideously difficult time. The ladies are going to miss Finn, especially Lena..... I'm very aware of the unrequited love and emotions that go into rescuing animals, my love it rescue Lurchers (36yrs). There are no words to make you feel any better, yes, time does help, but the whole and the hurt always remains, just in different ways. Try to ease your pain and heart ache by recognising what an amazing chapter you had added to their lives. From immeasurable unhappiness, pain and loveless existence they found completely the opposite when they found you and the wonderful world of Fletcher Farms and all that it gave them. The pair of you are amazing . You have done and still doing amazing things. They do say Grief is the price we pay for love. That love goes both ways, from you to them..... and eventually from them to you.... unrequited,..... you've totally and absolutely earned that love. A beautiful,kind and giving lady. From misery and destined to a Hideous end, you saved them, and gave them a beautiful last chapter. Stay strong, keep going, take each day as they come, but more importantly, give yourself time to Grieve, recover and repair. Paisley and Finn's friends will be the support that helps you with that, and you for them. Fletcher Farms is a safe haven for these beautiful gentle giants.... all your love and hard work. So sad, stay safe....xx ❤

Loving an animal and losing them for whatever the reason is one of the worst experiences any of us ever have. And losing a horse, cat, dog - reminds me to really relish every moment I have with my own animals while I have them because we never really know when the time will come for them to go on to another “place”. I’m sorry for your losses and I hope you take comfort in knowing what a great life you gave them in the time they recovered with you. Hugs to you all.

Julie and Cory I am so sorry for your loss, I am saddened for you and know all to well how hard it is to lose an animal you love. Paisley at least died a peaceful death in a place where she was loved and well taken care of and Finn is at peace as well, he is no longer suffering, you did everything you could for him but unfortunately it doesn’t always work out the way we want it to. Animals know when you love them and are kind to them and each one of your rescues know how lucky they are to live their lives out in your sanctuary with the care and love you give them. Animals have the same emotions that we humans have and I want to thank you so much from the bottom of my animal lovers heart for all that you have done and are still doing for those gentle giants. I know how hard it is to even talk about the loss of a four legged friend that you loved, I am so sorry. Hugs and much love to you and your husband, two people with giant loving hearts, I am crying with you my friend. 😢❤️🐴

Remember the love that you and your husband gave them and the love that they gave both of ya.

It is always hard when your friend leaves, even when you know they are OK. You must let your heart break and have tears, and presently the grief becomes easier to live with!

Now Paisley has a friend in Heaven to walk beside. Oh how you both and Anna will miss those two. But what a finale it was for them. A time of peace, rest and love. Something they never had time for before. For sure, they lived till they died.

Thank you for rescuing them from hell. They were working horses that needed love, respect and a safe place to call home. Finn and Paisley knew they were loved ❤

I don't know how anyone with a tender heart toward animals can ever toughen themselves enough to bear losses such as you and your husband have had to bear. All you can do is to look at the beautiful results you have had with all the horses that you have rescued and also look back at the good lives you made possible for Paisley and Finn until they passed due to issues over which you had no control. Look at all the horses grazing behind you in your video and remember the effort and sacrifice that you put forth for each and every one of them. I'm convinced that Noah knew you needed a horse-hug when he approached you and he and the rest of the herd are living their best lives in their retirement years because of you and all those who help you make these rescues possible. Just watch a video of what happens to horses in slaughter houses and you will once again put on the full armor of the warrior rescuer in your heart and mind again! Never forget, you've saved these animals from a horrible end! Paisley and Finn and all of your herd all had saviors: You and Cory and all who are a part of Fletcher Farms Amarillo and The Big Hoof Foundation!

AS STRONG AS THEY ARE, I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE IN THEIR SHOES WHEN THESE SAD, UNEXPECTED SITUATIONS HAPPEN. I JUST WISH FINN AND PAISLEY HAD MORE TIME TO ENJOY THE LIFE THEY NEVER HAD! BUT ON OTHER HAND, THEY HAD HAPPY LIFE AND WENT INTO THE CLOUDS HAPPILY GALLOPING! ALWAYS WILL HAVE MY ❤ 💝 ❤ AND WILL NEVER FORGET 🐎💔🐎

@u_maru4797 Год назад

@@annmarie5874 hello Ann Marie...I'm 100% with you! It's very sad, but animal rescue can always involve their loss, unfortunately...the most importent thing must be that the horrible auctions and the practice of the killbuyers finally end and the endless suffering of the tortured horses stops...also Big Lick, that's horrible animal abuse, this shit has to stop!

@eshea3621 Год назад

A GSD I adopted years ago had been horribly abused. He had a scar on his muzzle from being hog tied with piano wire and had numerous broken toes from trying to escape. The story was his owners threw him in the backyard to die and left to return to the country they came from. Possible, maybe even probable but someone who does boots on the ground rescue told me it was far more likely he was hanging in LA's meat market. I took Hans because he was old and scarred and those dogs don't get adopted. He was one of the sweetest Shepherds I have ever known. I connected with a vet to give him acupuncture and wisely she said to me " You have to understand that sometimes the outcome is different from what you are expecting. She had found with these sweet souls when given safety , peace and as much freedom from pain as we could that the peace and safety comforted them enough that they could finally let go. Hard on the humans but what an incredible gift to the animal. Rip Paisley what a beautiful lady you were and Finn, the handsome ladies man.I smiled watching him snooze all the girls. I think he thought he was already in heaven. I am so glad you. both found Julie and Corey , their love and caring. Special people for very special horses. An old time Shepherd person once said " When I die they will find that my heart is like an old crazed China plate. Each line is for an animal loved and cherished and lost." Thank you Julie and Corey you have the very best kind of heart.

However long you got to love Paisley and Finn, it was always going to be not long enough. Thank you for your devotion to these beautiful souls. I'm so sorry.💜

I wish it were possible to take away some of your pain; I know this is so hard for you, but we thank you for the wonderful care you gave Finn, and all the horses, and we can be comforted knowing Finn had the best retirement possible. 🙏
