NEGLECTED mini horse -- Hoof transformation for Hope -- YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE END!! 

About 30 years ago I bought a mini off craigslist for 50 bucks. Poor guy had been used as a cart horse and had healed sores all over his body from the harness. Little white patches of hair where the harness and headstall had been. He could barely walk from severe arthritis. I penned him up when it got dark out, but he was allowed to roam during the day. We got him about April, and he passed away about October. He was a pet for my ten year old, and she loved him with everything she had in her. Went out one morning to open his stall, and he was down. Vet said he passed in his sleep. I’m glad we were able to give that little guy some much needed love and rest. To every “Rusty” out there, I hope you get the love you deserve. ❤️🤟🏼🫶🏻

Wow! From depressed, dejected, and filthy, barely able to walk, every step, sheer agony, to proud and beautiful, running and jumping for joy. Even the cow got caught up in her joyful celebration. What a miraculous transformation! God bless you for rescuing this beautiful little soul. Welcome to paradise, precious Hope! 🙏🤎😍🤎🙏

This horse's prancing at the end of this ordeal shows me we can't let hooves grow and stop them from enjoying life. Thanks to these good hearted people for her salvation.

Such a happy little horse in the end . Thank you for saving her and giving her a new life. The Farrier's skill was immense in turning around the distorted hooves and making her comfortable again . Such skill and compassion ❤

After watching Hope’s video I had a warm smile on my face. I’m so happy for this little girl to finally have a home along with love and happiness. She loves her new home 🏡.

Look at her go. She runs like the wind, bucking and fussing....filled with joy. And before, she found it difficult to just stand without pain. Ty so much!

I don't understand how anyone could let Hope's hooves get so overgrown. I can't imagine how much pain she was in. It is marvelous to see how well she rebounded and enjoys running around as she should.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve and he is one of the greatest farriers I know. Great job on giving this pony and new lease on life.

I'm not a horse person but I know pain when I see it. my heart ached to see her struggling so hard to walk but the amazing skill of the farrier gave her back the joy of running and boy was she making the most of it! A job well done by all of you!

She's so happy to have her feet back to normal. thank you to everyone who helped her.

Watching her run and do her little bucking is just adorable!

I'd like to thank the previous owner for doing the right thing for this horse. He tried to take care of her, realized he couldn't, and was going to end her suffering. Thankfully for her, found someone who could give her the care she needed and he just let her go.

TY all for being the loving, and compassionate stewards of God's critters. That lil lady will never forget you all for giving back her spirit of doing what she is doing now, running against the wind. You can see the sheer joy in her sprinting, rearing and bucking. Her actions are as good as vocalizing; ..."an-and look what else I can do", "did you see that, watch me do that again"!!! May God continue to shine His grace upon all of you!

Sheer joy-- seeing her run and gambol and rear up, after being stuck with those terrible hooves for so long. I hope you feel what you have been able to do for her to bring back her freedom.

Thank you so much for taking good care of her. The end shows how much she has improved to the point she is able to run again! I love it!

This made me cry. That poor little girl. Minis are the best and she was so very patient.

Dr Travis, Steve Sermersheim, and the team have done a wonderful job with this girl. In this case I would say that Steve is the miracle hoof guy. He really knows what he is doing and exactly how to do it. Excellent work to all of you for saving this very special little girl.

This made me so incredibly sad and mad at the previous owner. This poor girl in such discomfort and pain and him not even caring enough to do anything about it. Thank you for rescuing this little horse.

Yes, thank God the previous owner let her go. Now she will have a better life! She’s a beautiful horse 🐴.

I have 3 minis. They get their feet done every 4 weeks. I don't see how someone could let this poor horse get to this state. Bless you for rescuing her, and making her feel better. (Jan Griffiths).

What you all did was show the world the best people can be. Thank you for helping all the animals that have no way to help themselves. ❤❤❤

All that sass at the end! She is so much better and happier!

Look at her kicking up her heels now! What a joy to see her joy!

What a wonderful change for that poor wee horse .from pain and I expect despair,to a life worth living.❤❤

Bless all those who helped her especially the wonderful farrier! The little happy hop in the field made my heart smile! ❤

I was at a local auction just a week ago and there was two ponies and a 41/2 month old donkey that looked just like this. My heart ached for them, but unfortunately I couldn't afford to help them. I'm so glad that you all can help this little one ☺️ blessing for all.😊

This poor neglected little horse looks like she feels a whole lot better with her feet. Looks like even just one trimming of the house by somebody that knows what they're doing. Helped her tremendously. Thanks for doing such a lovely job of looking after her! I'm sure she'll be a fabulous pet. Will there be anyone learning to ride her? I mean this child of proper weight of a course!

That's the happiest pony I have ever seen.

It was such fun to see this pony’s recovery. Thank you to the people who took her from misery to happiness.

Beautiful! Your farrier is an angel! Look at her showing all her appreciation!

Seeing hooved emerge from that twisted mess was like watching a miracle! I would have called her Sassy, not Hope though. She is such a little firecracker ❤

Good job guys! You can sure tell she's feeling so much better, she knows her feet are fixed. She absolutely appreciates it. All it took was a little love and attention, know how and a dash of modern technology. She's a happy lil pony again.🐎

How happy she is wonderful just makes you cry with joy

She is being so good for you. Thank you for taking care of her!!!

That farrier is the coolest man alive!

It’s amazing what a great farrier can do to correct these serious hoof problems. Thank you for giving each one a chance to have a quality life.

The end where she's jumping around almost made me cry! How sweet! 😻😻😻😻

What an excellent job, it made me so happy to see her run,buck and having so much fun.Thank you to all the staff, the care and attention you gave her was second to none.

I felt so horrible when first seeing her. Then in the end she was running, rearing and jumping. My heart just leeps with joy. I've always had a love ❤for horses, but especially the smallest and the largest of them.

She’s a sweetheart! Her bucking around so happily at the end was amazing!

Thank you for giving her frequent breaks…not all farriers are that concerned, and I’ve seen horses in terrible condition being put through the torments of hell by a farrier who seems to think they have unlimited endurance.

The heart of a champion right there. By week ten she'll be ready to give the derby a try.

So happy to see her cared for and enjoying running and frolicking! Thank you for saving her!

xxxxWow! Thank Goodness Little Hope was rescued when she was. She seems like an Ideal Patient, Bless you all & Hope for such an amazing transformation & recovery. Enjoy Life Little Lady.

Such a huge change in her. Thank you for sharing.🐴

❤ Love that Hope is happy and doing zoomies! She's so beautiful. I hope, Hope finds her forever home and keeps getting the love and care she deserves. ❤

Awww what a patient , patient that then turned into a zoomie puppy - too cute 💞💞💞💞

Genuinely made me smile 😃 . Well done restoring the wee horse hooves & energy levels, she truly flies now, bless her lil new hooves. Don't take on any large animal if you're not above & beyond in providing the proper care & maintenance. There is no excuse for the previous keeper & easily avoided. Awesome share, Thank-you 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸

OMG thank you. Who could let that pony get into such a state. Thanks for helping her.

So cute seeing her zoomies.So glad the man who inherited her from the previous owners decided to give her to y'all and give her a second chance at life.She looks healthier weight now that she could move around. It was so amazing to watch her stand so quietly for the farrier.

Great video trim and transformation. So glad she is healthy and happy thankyou for rescuing her.

Glad you went to look at some cows. You gave her a new life!

Thank you for people that help these poor abused horses. Amazing what you did to help her or him. ❤❤❤

Bless you farrier for your patients and skill in alleviating this horses condition. Excellent work of professionals together to save a horse that otherwise would have been put down. Cannot praise highly enough people like this. And look at the transformation in that little pony. She is over the moon to be able to trot and gallop around on her new found feet, happy at last.

Look how happy she is no more pain! Thank you to everyone who helped her! ❤️‍🩹

The kind of horse I like the best : a Happyhorse 😍

She’s cute as can be. Bless you for helping her, thank you 💕

All I can say is god bless all of you !!!!

Congratulations too everyone in Hopes wonderful treatment and what joy too see the final outcome ❤❤❤

I loved the transformation of this little lady, Hope, she found the perfect home when the previous owner just let her go to you. Thank you for saving her and making her better. Your farrier is quite the guy! Look at her go, she is feeling super fine, with all that running and bucking, such a cutie.

I am so IMPRESSED with the great job you do for this wonderful little horse and then to see the wonderful result of her journey🥰❤

those hooves are so twisted. that poor little girl. so this affects more than just the foot!! (it always hurts to see animals mistreated or abused. hope the people are fined big time and not allowed any pets at all !) thanks for caring about her and taking care of her hooves/feet. She looks much better. and she’s running and jumping around. just beautiful and so happy. Thank you so much. hope someone great gets her now. 🐴👨🏽‍🌾🌷🌱

i just happened upon your channel today and i love it. the empathy and compassion y'all have for these beautiful creatures, is a joy to watch. i am obviously not happy with any animals being neglected but its great to see there are so many amazing people and professionals, willing to help these animals. i spend most of my days an nights stuck indoors due to a debilitating and disabling syndrome, which means i watch a lot of youtube videos and then following loads of amazing channels. you have a new subscriber. love from ireland💚👩‍🦽

Got to be so tough for farriers to deal with such mini hooves and tiny horses! You'd almost be better tipping them over on a table to save your back! Great job helping poor Hope!

What a gorgeous little horse. Thank you for saving her.

19:46 Good work, Farrier! The tiny horse will get used to it quickly and be able to run well again.

She feels so good. Awesome job to you all.

Thank you sweet Jesus for giving them the knowledge to help this little girl. Amen

Hope is doing a happy dance❤

I cried with joy.

OH Wow, poor thing! How sad is that? You are a miracle worker!

You are an amazing human, thanks for helping this sweet pony. OMG she is running!

Praise Jesus! Hope looks great

This little gal is quite a trouper. Thank you for helping her.

The before and after is heart warming. Thank you for caring. GM

That one happy little hors, now!

It's great to see her running playing and jumping. To think the previous owner was thinking of putting her down because they couldn't get someone out to trim her is sad.

Какие вы молодцы,вернули ему радость бегать,прыгать,Спасибо вам!!!

Thank you for showing some follow up footage. I have seen several videos of neglected horses getting a trim, but this is the first one that where they showed the end results..

What a sweetheart! She is definitely feeling better. ❤

I'm so glad the owner didn't put her down. Look at what a beautiful transformation u have done with her. God Blessed u with miracle hands, a loving heart and job u do very well.

Amazing is the only thing I can think to say other than my back hurts thinking about all the bending over to trim Hope's hooves. Thank you for sharing.

What kind and compassionate people all of you in this video are. Very lucky pony! ❤

What a good trim this baby is so so happy now bless her little hooves 🩷🩷

Thank you God for these wonderful people who TRULY help and care for the innocent. They are true angels. Please bless them always. In Jesus name Amen

Omgoodness her back hoofs look so bad God Love her, and bless her little heart!😊😊❤❤❤❤

She is so very sweet!

The previous owner should have given her up if he couldn’t care for her, l would through tears, don’t let them suffer

A great job, really!❤. I remember those Asian videos, where the hooves of the Donkeys work in an atrocious and inconclusive way 😢. No Love, just cannon fodder. I don't give more views to those. You are a great example of how it is possible to do good work with care. 👏👍❤

This is amazing 😊 they have been great with the pony, and they are angels to help fix the hooves and make the pony's life better. Great people ❤ 😊

She's got her life back and she's so happy

Thank you for fixing this joyful animal!

What a beautiful natured little darling.

That is wonderful

Quite the sassy queen these days ❤
