Poor Doc.. he’s such a good man.. I have so much respect for him after hearing him say “I don’t want to do this!”… I felt that in my soul..

My vet told me 25 years ago when I had to put my first rescue Rottweiler to sleep. It's the last loving thing you can do is to not let them suffer. I know you say it's the last act of kindness. But people don't understand if they're not in the rescue business how it is to be in that situation. So thank you all for everything you do please know it does not go unnoticed. ❤️❤️❤️

So sad. Shame on the "owners" who let Carter get in that state. Thats totally unacceptable. I will never understand how people can be so cruel. But I'm glad he had your kind hands to help him through the pain.

Thank you for all that you do. Our daughter is 22 months and every morning has to watch your videos. She does not want to watch cartoons or movies. She says “horseys rescue” everyday and does not want to watch anything but you all.

So sorry that you lost the Carter. I can imagine him looking stunning if he was in full health. You guys do such an amazing job. At least he was loved and fussed on in his last days xx

Rest in Peace Carter, run forever free over the Rainbow Bridge where never- more U will feel pain or suffer . It's awesome that once more, horses found homes but young Carter had to lose his life cos he had a uncaring owner who starved him and than dumped him off at an auction and then left him there .I'm thankful he found all y'all who tried ur best to not only give him the love and help he needed but, cos of all the horrible things this young horse went thru before he found y'all he had to cross the Rainbow Bridge .I think about the person/s who had this beautiful boy before y'all did and I pray that they never have another horse again and if they do that they get caught abusing it and lose them all to Horse Plus .

What a sweet girl. Telling everyone she can how evil the big lick training and shows are. Making people aware is the most she can do!

[vilmaarce]

I am glad to see that they still vets like "doc" that are compassionate and go the extra mile to try to save an animal. Thank you "Doc" and Horse Shelter Heroes.

How adorable is Bubba😘kissing their new horse’s nose💕

[terrillrogers]

I think Marvel got the perfect home. Loved seeing that Wyatt got Star.

So sad seeing a youngster suffer so much that he isn't able to survive.

[lisaberruti]

She didn't want to leave.. poor baby, she knew she had it good

[sallywaites]

Carter would have died horribly in some truck on the way to slaughter. Instead he spent his last days surrounded by love and comfort and food. He had all the care you could possibly give him. You guys couldn't have done more. R.I.P Carter. Run free.

So sorry, Doc.. it is so horrible to have to put a young animal down... I am so glad that the animals, have a Vet like you to care for them...

[juliacollins]

Loved Carter glad he experienced love at the end of his life. He was gorgeous.

[starlenekalinski]

Nice episode. It's awful to see the young horses have to be put down. I could tell how upset Doc was when he talked about the horses bodies actually eating their organs and the thought of it is very upsetting.
When I was 13 years old I brought a 6 month old filly back up after the vet told me there was not a good chance that she could make it but she was a fighter and in spite of all odds, she survived and was the best horse that I could imagine.
In 2009 I rescued 2 starving Mustangs that could barely walk. Both of them survived. They were so thin that you could see where the ribs connected to the bone and their front legs had very little space between them. They took 6 months to start looking like horses instead of skeletons, then they really took off and were beautiful.
It's so rewarding when you do win the battle. God bless you for what you do.

I am so angry that someone neglected poor Carter so badly. It’s criminal that he suffered for so long. Thank god that you guys rescued him and his last few days he was shown love & kindness. The first pony I ever rode was a palomino called Cornflake. Sleep tight sweet Carter, no more suffering now xxxx p.s Doc is the sweetest xxx

[jennifergudmundson]

Wow Tawnee!!! The blond highlights in your hair are Keep it up beautiful!

[debbiedunn]

So sad that people let horses, or any animal get in the shape Carter was in. Your Vet is an amazing doctor. The young lady at the end of the video is special. Horses need more people like her. I love the work you all do. Thank you.

[dreamcatcher]

Awww, the Wyatt family are so lovely! When the little boy kissed Stars nose, I just melted.
Sleep peacefully Carter, I’m so pleased you found these incredible people in your last few weeks of life, you were loved. 🙏🏻🌻🌻🌻
