This was a very enlightening video showing the workings in communities in other countries in the area of equine issues. I enjoyed seeing programs implemented for the better care of equines in these
areas. It is also so very important to have excellent communication with horse owners to improve the care of these horses and mules. I am blown away by these types of programs and the dedication of these professionals. It warmed y heart. Thanks for your committment to these people and animals.
This was fascinating. The empathy and care from the vets and students was excellent!
A lot of mutual respect. The horses look better than I thought. I’ve seen working horses in other countries that looked much worse. This team is really making a difference on so many levels. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you hp for helping horses all around the world.
Awesome video everyone!!!Lots of planning and organizing for sure!! Thank You for all you do for the animals❤❤
I understand a little about a part of our world I hadn't known about before. Great work, very good video! 🤠💓
Great job and a wonderful video 👍👏 Their mules were so gorgeous 🤎
An outstanding video. So impressive. Thank you so much for keeping us all informed with the great work being done in Costa Rica. Good job.
I was stationed in Panama C.A and was shocked to see their livestock so skinny. The natives can't afford hay so the cows are allowed to graze along the roadside.
I have a cousin who is in the avian vet. She has been to Costa Rica many times, working with the world parrot trust organization. As a volunteer in her clinic, I have help pack things to go to Costa Rica. Medical items for animals, medical items for human beings, clothing, shoes, food for them that is high nutrition, books, baby formula, first aid and dental kits. One of the first things that I was taught is you have to treat indigenous the same as you treat everyone else. They do not want to be poor or uneducated. They want to have their beliefs listen too. If you want them to bring you wildlife that have been injured or sick, you have to be willing to give something back, such as clothing, shoes, medical first aid.
In the United States we are so spoiled by having so many things that are convenient. Remember the indigenous do not have this, they work very very hard for their living: farming, raising children keeping animals.
Just a thought here, maybe HPHS in their endeavors to help foreign countries with their horses, would also consider helping the indigenous people of that country. It doesn't have to be anything fancy:food, clothing, medical and education.
Amazing work improving the quality of life of horses and helping train the students in different procedures. ❤❤
You do such amazing work for and with horses. When I decide its time, I will be adopting through your organization.
I enjoyed this video. Thanks for helping and sharing this amazing video
Wonderful seeing the teaching taking place…very impressed with the way the horses were lay down for the castrations and the ease that they got back up. Vet really knew her anesthesia. The 5 hour trek with the grey gelding really touched me with how much the owner cared for his horse.
That was such an eye opener to see all the people working together and helping so many animals, and the guy that walked 5 hours with that skinny grey horse to get it some medical treatment.
Almost felt like i was there with you over your shoulder, loved the drs and students speaking… it didnt lack for anything!!! It wasnt too short, honestly i wouldve watched more if you had it!!! I wouldnt xhange a thing about any of your presentation!!!! Maybe i hope you got some of the surgeries to put in an episode of horse vets!!! Im not squemish!!! I wanted to be a horse vet since i was young… but never had the funds to follow thru even though i got to ride with our vet Dr. HAMER out of New Jersey at the time when i was young. We would do surgeries etc and i was intrigued by animal health.
Excellent, excellent, excellent! What a phenomenal program. Horse Plus, THANK YOU for your grant program which helps the EI do this very important work helping horses and mules, as well as educating their owners and the students. And your media team did a PHENOMENAL job putting this video together, so professional. It was all just so fantastic! What a blessing that your organization is able to impact equines all around the world, this is truly amazing.
Love!
Thank you for filming, sharing and supporting the phenomenal efforts of EI and the Crew!! This documentary was amazing!!! Again, thank you HPHS for all that you do!! ❤️

6:10 this woman lists about ten general steps that she and her anesthesia team are doing for each and every horse there… out in the middle of a totally rural country with very little vet access.
And there in Tennessee at the auction house an auction employee skips 100% of those steps, for-gos using an actual vet, and performs a fatal procedure on a horse he just met and has no history on.
I mean… what a stark and glaring difference. Which country is first world?
All these animal science students wanting to experience and learn… what an amazing experience, they will keep these days of knowledge for a lifetime.
Each and every person interviewed for this vlog… I mean really it's a documentary… was SO entirely professional, intriguing, educational, interesting and entertaining. They performed proper vet care to some typical and some atypical cases. Good job to the traveling media person! From geldings, teeth and hoofcare to eye removal and tumor treatments. Wow, just wow. What a gorgeous group of people here and ultimately a gorgeous group of horses that are obviously valued by their owners, as all working animals should be.
I wonder what they do with horses once they are no longer able to work. Whatever it is, somehow it doesn't feel like they are thrown away like HPHS always shows us in TN. I know it's not perfect, but I bet they have more ppl taking responsibility for their horse to the end of it's life.
Thank you for sharing this documentary. Lovely work on all accounts.
The general condition of the horses as I could see was not as dismal as I expected at the beginning. That pour grey with the screw wurms though… so happy the owner undertook the trip just to get care.
Great Job
With education comes wealth to humans and equines ❤
Excellent video! Very educational and I love Costa Rica ❤ Pura vida.
