The Smallest horse I'd ever seen meets Iris 

Small Horse : *living a horrible life* This guy : *We don't do that here*

Imagine walking on the street and seeing a man walk his 2 cute horses

Imagine feeling so small, alone, and mistreated all of your life and a man comes and not only takes away the pain but brings someone else just like you to be your friend. I can't stop crying from how happy I am to see what you've done for these two lovely souls. You are a true angel. Bless you and all you care about.

Horses are incredibly social animals, it’s great that they found a friend!

*The big horses were like:* Wow! Hobbits!

I laughed when the curious big horses gathered together to stare at the tiny couple 🤣 They were all so cute!!!

Seriously, you NEED to make more videos about them!!!

Angels come in many sizes and forms. I believe you are one. Thank you……

The size of this guy's heart: *infinite*

2016: A Chick Called Albert 2020: A Horse Called Nano

I searched your videos for more on the tiny horses but there are none? Would you please do an update video on them? They're adorable! Thank you so much for all you do for all the animals you come in contact with in your life! You're amazing!

I cannot express how cute these two are. Like, I want all the updates.

By the looks of poor Iris’s back, it looks like she’s been ridden. That’s probably why she’s so afraid of people. So horrible to do to a mini.

Animal: Starts Dieing Him: *not on my watch*

If I had the money, I would buy an animal sanctuary for this man with everything he'd ever need for life. We owe it to ourselves as a species and to our planet, to make sure this man, his girls, and his animals are blossoming ♡♡♡ Love it what it's all about. As soon as I'm able, I'll support you on Patreon. May the universe bless you for who you are and what you do. Your heart is far larger than many galaxies. May more of us strive to live how you do.

Iris was neglected - and then you made her life take a 180° turn to the best, giving her a friend and nice home as well as showing her that not all humans are bad. You deserve to be called an angel!

Con: You can't ride them. Pro: You can taket them for a walk!

my heart broke when she tried running away from you when you bought her. She was so scared

I started sobbing as soon as you were hollering and stroking her face in the truck. You are a hero to these animals. Thank you.

Bro is the definition of wholesome

Me: watches this guy Deppression: aight imma head out

As someone who's family owned a horse rescue for many years, this makes me so happy. Minis are so neglected because they're so small and people think because they're small, they're easy when that is NOT the case. He did such a good job bringing them back from where they started

I’d love an update on Nano & Iris! ❤

I almost cried when you rescued Iris & were comforting her in the truck - she looked like she felt safe for the first time in ages 😢

He really needs a ranch like home to continue helping animals on a larger scale.

“The big horses were fascinated by the small couple” Well, yea, they were literally GAWKING at them XD

When I first saw the back leg issue I thought it was probably a stifle lock. the stifle is designed to lock, so that horses can sleep on their feet, but sometimes this locks when it's not suppose to. which can be due to poor nutrition or lack of proper exercise. Either way I am glad you fixed it. I had a pony with it and she had an injection into the stifle that fixed it for her. I'm glad you had her checked before considering breeding, but if you decide not to breed, why not geld the stallion? he would be a happier horse gelded and able to stay with his paddock mate, than kept entire and be isolated.

You are a gift to the animal world and inspiring to anyone who has compassion and love for animals. Thank you so much for being such a good example to us all ❤️

Imagine going down the street or having a beach day and you just see a guy walking 2 mini horses

Love how nano took a look at the dog and said “yep, I know a horse when I see one”

I loved seeing Iris leap over those logs! I can’t get over how good they look. The braids on Iris with her sweet Babydoll collar is just adorable. And Nano looks so happy.

Love can make such a difference to animals. They feel so much.

"I really thought he wouldn't make it." She clearly hasn't seen this channel before

And just imagine he is raising his children to be as compassionate and passionate as he is. Together I can only imagine the many many lives they will restore to wellness. God's Blessings.

What a kind soul you are, and how many lives you have helped. A voice for those without. This is truly what life is about, and why any of us are here.

Cruelty unfortunately has no borders as proved right here! Thank you for your kindness towards these beautiful little creatures! ❤️👍

You just gotta love this man and don’t forget his kids for helping him. The vet also

I'm so Glad you took IRIS away from that cage, and gave her home where she is Loved, and cared for

So beautiful and lovingly done. Wow.

This guy is amazing, i wish all humans would aspire to be like him, we need nature and its inhabitants

I would not recommend breeding mini horses, as they have a lot of health issues. But thank you for rescuing them! (edit: I know he will make the best decisions for his horses with the proper guidance! I love A Chick Called Albert! Those of you who are criticizing him instead of trying to help/offer advice aren't being productive)

Horse: oh look another small horse! Just like me! Dog: what a wierd dog. Are you a goodboi? I think you a good boi.

My god you are an animal angel you were sent to all these little babies do not stop please from Ireland ❤

You really are an angel to every single animal you've rescued, and many more to come! Thank you for everything you do! Nano and Iris are exceptionally beautiful together ❤️

I like how he’s so dedicated to animals he moves somewhere for them

Can we all take a quick moment to appreciate the vet? She's amazing!

Enjoyed every moment!!! Thank-You once again for sharing.

This man deserves a global recognition for his love and determination for fellow animals!

They’re super cute, but if they were mine, I’d personally geld little Nano. Foals are wonderful, but gelding has so many benefits, both for the health and behavior of male horses.

As someone who's worked with horses, mini horses are a terror to take care of; health wise at least. Their unique congenital health issues can be worked around, with a lot of surgery for the ones with limb problems at least. Topping it off with people don't know how to breed healthy animals, they go for cute looks, and we end up with deformed and sick animals. Personally I would try and get the bloodline papers for each horse, so if you do end up breeding them (I would recommend just castrating Nano) you can know what you're in for and prepare with your vet during the pregnancy.

Thank you for giving those cuties the best life possible!!

What a beautiful story god bless you for what you've done for them I won't lie I did have a few tears seeing them on beach happy we need more people like this in the world today 2022 for many reasons animals children etc .God bless you and family ❤️

The best thing to wake up this early: watch this miracle man

you are a good man for doing so many things to this horse, the fact that you even bought him from horrible care to do this. Was really looking forward to number 2, thanks for doing this

Thank you for ALL OF THE Souls you have saved. Your heart is oversized and it is wonderful to behold. I am thankful for the thought and love you have poured into the well-being of creatures that you continue to help. I couldn't do it. It would break my heart. I am so thankful for people like you, who actually make lives better. You must take great pride in your family!!!

AWWWWE!!!... NANO AND IRIS!!!... A BEAUTIFUL STORY OF RESCUE, HOPE AND MOST OF ALL... LOVE!!!..., WHICH SPARKED THE RESCUE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!😃💜💕😍🐎🐴🙋🙏➕👌👍🇺🇸

They even braided her hair, Iris is so beautiful

SUPPOT THIS MAN SO MUCH THAT HE CAN BUY THAT HOUSE WHERE HE WAS ALLOWED TO STAY JUST FOR A YEAR

One of the cutest videos you’ve ever made ❤️ I’m so glad you saved them!

Thank you for loving them

As much as having a foal from the two of them would be wonderful and exciting, i myself wouldn't be able to justify it for a few important reasons. As an animal welfare advocate (formally with horses but now i'm in neonate/feral kitten rescue) our purpose and goal is to help the millions of animals out there that need help, not make more. Not having a permanent place to live with the horses greatly increases my feeling about this. A simple solution that would be best for both horses and allow them to stay together, in the long run, would be to simply geld the colt. By gelding Nano you cut his risk of testicular cancer down to 0. A friend's stallion developed this and it was a painful, ugly battle that ended Dezi's life at the age of 7. Had he been gelded, he would have most likely lived well into if not past his 20s (my mares lived to be 32 and 34, bless them). Gelding also makes them more manageable and less frustrated making for a happier horse. And who wouldn't want an awesome gelding over an okay stallion? Bottom line, if you for sure want a baby from Iris and Nano (who wouldn't--they're priceless!), in my opinion after years of experience with horses and animal welfare, waiting until you are sure you have a place for 3 minis would be better than moving forward with breeding right now. Regardless, i wish you nothing but the best and truly appreciate what you have done for Iris and Nano. Thank you.

Other people: *walk their dogs* This man: yes but make it ✨ two small horses✨

They blossomed amazingly. Like different horses. Bless you sir it takes an extrordinary soul to do your work.

Thank you for caring and falling in love with these 2 beautiful animals

Listen, I’ve only really seen a few people raising this issue and I want to add to the concern and conversation. I love this guy, I think he does great work. He is kind and compassionate and is teaching his children to be the same. HOWEVER when you get into breeding things get touchy. When humans are directly interfering with breeding pairings, we have the responsibility to use the knowledge we have gathered to set every pairing up for success. Breeding should be done for a reason and should be done with the animals best interest in mind. So, let me ask you this: is it in these horses best interest (and minis as a breed themselves) for them to produce offspring? The answer, if you look critically at the situation is no, of course not. These two horses, although they may have nice temperaments, although they have pretty eyes and colourings, although it’s a happy story and the man who owns them is good and kind, should NOT be allowed to reproduce. Let alone with each other. These are rescue horses for one. They were likely not bred for conformation, health and temperament, meaning that any foal they produce will not be set up for success in life. *Good* breeders look to better the breed(or species). For example, a good rat breeder will look for individuals who are less prone to respiratory ailments. A good German shepherd breeder will pair dogs with good hips. A good Paint horse breeder won’t breed two frame overos together. These are just a few examples. You need to know the animals past, any issues they have conformation, temperament and health wise and make your judgments from there. We don’t know these horses parents, what problems they may have had. The bottom line is that it is irresponsible to allow these two to breed, and to promote this kind of breeding to a platform of impressionable viewers. The colt/stallion (have we even been told how old they both are?) should be gelded, the two of them should be allowed to live a happy life together. They do not need to reproduce to do this.

When the sad music starts and you get scared for a sec, but then you remember what channel you're on

Such a heart warming video, thanks. You certainly saved them from a horrible fate 💕 Some people buy a small animal thinking it cute and will be easy to look after, but then neglect it when they realise it's as much work as a big one.

I loved how you nursed both back to health. You are a loving, kind man. I truly hope you didn't go ahead and make Iris have a baby. I'm not sure what your reasoning was...but it seems a bit cruel to make an animal pregnant "just because." I know in my heart you aren't that type of man, really wanted to know your reasons. I'm so happy for both sweet horses.

never been this early, just wanna say that this man is amazing for saving all these precious lives on a regular basis. you are truly a blessing to this world.

Remember that horses can still have false pregnancies and they can get quite the grass belly so check up with a vet if you have a suspicion of the mare, Iris being preggos

Just because they are min-Horses, doesn't mean they aren't a Horse. They same sweet faces and all the love and loyalty of their Larger species. Congratulations, you have made so many people happy with your love and those beautiful Horses.

I'd love to see another update on these 2

I don't mean to ruin all the fun but I really hope, that he doesn't breed them. They really don't need a foal to be happy. Ever wondered why you don't see such small horses in the wild? It's because they were specifically bred to look like this. Over and over. Same as pugs for example. And such inbreeding results in a lot of diseases. Which was clearly shown in Nano's case. I'm sure there are some perfectly healthy miniature horses out there. But personally, I hope he doesn't risk it. Iris and Nano seem to be living a perfect and happy life. There is simply no need for a foal. Especially considering the risks.

GUYS READ THE DESCRIPTION HE ISN’T BREEDING THEM CHILLL

There are so few like you ❤ I wish I had the resources to help animals in need like this.

Love your videos .I adore horses all animals birds you are lucky to have some ground for them.God Bless You and of corse the beautiful animals especially my favourite the horses. BUT ALL OF YOU.

I worked at a stable when I was a kid and we had one miniature horse...he was just the sweetest most lovable animal I've ever encountered. In a town near where I live their is a blind man who has a miniature horse who has been trained to act like a guide dog. Not only does this little horse provide a very workable alternative to the usual guide dog in many areas he is actually superior. His owner has even used him to guide him through the busy streets of NYC, including the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building! It is awesome to watch this tiny horse guide his owner through the mall!

When I grow up I hope I can save animals like you

I am in tears! I wish more excellent and lovely people like you existed! ❤❤❤❤❤

Let us know what happened to Iris and Nano after this video. I realize that all of these beautiful stories with animals that you tell us about, require a lot of work on your part. It`s a big commitment. You are gifted. I believe that it is your mission in life to care and love for all these furry and feathery friends. What a statement in our world ! We`re with you !!! Thanks for all your amazing work ! ❤

I would love to hear the reasoning for bringing more mini-horses to life. It seems people have them as pets for their children, then discard them when the kids get bored, grow up or end up in financial hardships. Horses, miniatures or not, require a lot of resources, space, food, medical care, and their daily physical and emotional well-being. Not a small undertaking. Bringing additional member(s) to life requires more resources and commitments. Average life span of a miniature horse is 25 to 35 years. I would only recommend if one has the resources, time (up to 35 years) and commitment before considering bringing a foal into the world. Miniature horses will most likely go through many owners, thus increasing the likelihood of abuse. Love the ones we already have (as you clearly do), but don’t bring more to the world. We need to think of ourselves as stewardship of our planet, of our land and animals. “Pets” are not only for our entertainment and amusements but our responsibilities. I wish more owners would think of animals as human children in terms of commitments and responsibilities. It would mean people would think differently about ownerships. There would be less unwanted, abused animals.

Its amazing how after a bit of training, the muscles got better

Awwww, so sweet. This is beautiful scenery!!!

❤very good of you. Thank you, you are amazing.

Big horses: *Gathering around the mini couple* Nano: Eyy stop staring at my girlfriend

WHOAA, SHE HAS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL EYES, IRIS IS SOOO PERFECT TO BE HER NAME.

God bless you for your kindness !

Nano looks like a different horse he’s so healthy now! Thank you for saving them!❤ 😂

Babys are wonderful, and a baby mini horse surely really cute. But there are lots of problems i have heard about when it comes to breeding these tiny horses. And there are so many animals in need out there... i don't like the idea of producing even more :/

I just imagine the baby is gonna be the size of a tic-tac

As a mini horse afficionado, this is probably one of the sweetest, cutest things I've ever seen! ok...it's been 2 years since this video...where's that bebeh???

Thank you so much for giving these mini horses a loving home and great care. ❤May you always be blessed!

Thank you for putting my name at the end of your video! I am so glad to support you and see the videos you release, they really brighten my day. I nearly cried when I saw how beautiful Iris was and the condition she was being kept in. When I get to a place with some land I want to do the exact same things that you do. It's amazing!

It doesn’t take much. These little horses never get trained. People just drag them around.

This is a beautiful story. I thank you for helping all those who are in need from squirrels to these sweet neglected horses the love and kindness you show is wonderful indeed! Thank God for you and those like you! ✨❤️✨

The most gorgeous horse couple I have ever seen. Thankyou for giving them a voice and all your other animal friends who need a voice too. Bless you always dear human.

Us seeing this guy: “You are a good man, thank you”

Having a baby mini horse might be wonderful, but I personally think that saving another one might be a better option. There are so many mini horses kept in bad conditions like Iris... Your videos are amazing. Thank you for everything

This is beautiful. Thank you for loving them and sharing them with us

“YOU” ARE AN ANGEL SENT TO THESE PRECIOUS LITTLE HORSES ❤️😘🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😘❤️Thank you & your family for giving them LOVE & LIFE😘❤️Barbara (S.E. OHIO USA)
