Emaciated rescue horses go from strength to strength

Emaciated rescue horses go from strength to strength

World Horse Welfare Field Officer, Rachel Andrews was concerned about a group of ten horses being kept in apalling conditions on a yard in Winsford, Cheshire. They were removed from the site immediately and taken to World Horse Welfare’s Penny Farm in Blackpool. This is the story of their rehabilitation and rehoming.

World Horse Welfare rehomes more horses than any other horse charity. Rehoming is more important to us now than ever before, with so many equines at risk, find out more here; http://bit.ly/orvMqA

Joseph, one of the young horses from the case has been picked to be the Penny Farm’s Adopt a Horse – where you can follow his progress with updates from his groom, find out more here; http://bit.ly/c9J2BA

  1. this for the horses owners who cannot take care of their horses. the minutes you know you stopped being able to care for the horses call someone who can adopt them instead of putting the animals in such crucial critical situation

  2. When she said they were from close to Winsford my heart dropped as I used to live there, thinking these horses were so close to where I’m originally from and thinking of their suffering honestly breaks me, I’m so happy they recovered so well

  3. I wish in America that they were as hard on people. Owning animals is not a right, but a responsibility. I also like how you always own them, but allow people to loan them out for life. I like that control you have

  4. A lovely result for these ponies. I live in USA. In this area we don’t have the assistance of animal help groups for farm animals. Only cats or dogs. That is something for which I am unhappy. Keep dong the good work. Maybe we can catch up with your kindness.

  5. I am so glad you guys are doing this wonderful thing. Horses are the most wonderfully spiritual animals, and so trusting of us. People abuse them, but there are so many wonderful people, like you, that can help to rebuild the trust. God bless you, and may you always be able to do the wonderful thing you do. If I lived in the UK, I'd be right with you. I'm 61, and I've worked with horses pretty much all my life. I've met some very sad cases, but loving these animals brings back their innate intelligence and beautifully trusting nature. They make me feel small as I've come to know them.

  6. I really appreciate you guys saving all these horses but I have one question that really bothers me as when your workers are working with these horses why in God's name do they need to wear helmet in my book so you don't need to wear a helmet if they're just doctoring and maintaining these horses riding is one thing I guess you want to do that but personally I don't think you need to wear the helmets

  7. You DO NOT neglect a mare of 22 years old, who's in her golden years, ffs! These psychopaths who do this… [Worst thing is that they don't receive any real consequences (we need to fix that). BUT, however, there is karma…

    I love, love, love seeing how they recover. The horse at 6:47! 5:54! And the little foalies with their long legs… 🙂

  8. I'm becoming a vet for big animals like horses and cattle even though I'm still pretty young and ride horses and still need to learn a LOT more about vet care I'm hoping to help animals in need

  9. Omg Joseph looks just like a horse that I know called Eric but Eric is piebald not skewbald (sorry don't know how to spell) I hope they all have a loving family home and that they are never put in that position ever again

  10. How could people have disliked this video? That is just plain mean if you did. If you did your saying that you didn't like the recovery of horse? Rude…

  11. God Bless You all for the amazing work that you do! I can not believe the before/after views of these poor, unfortunate horses. You have truly changed their lives…and saved their lives! I wish every mistreated animal would have the same chance. Keep up the great work :-)!!
