It's utterly inconceivable to me, to receive the best part of 20 years of back breaking, bone crunching labor from a loyal, dedicated Draft horse who toiled the soil on my land for 10 hrs per day, only to commit the ultimate betrayal by selling him into an abattoir for slaughter. Especially as Anish are renowned for the extensive land they own that they could have easily set this unfathomable beauty to pasture smdh. It's unfathomable to me at the total absence of any sense of anything for a horse who's given you 20 bloody years of hard labor. Ugh.

We rescued two of the big Amish draft horses from a slaughter auction a few years ago. We named them Jake and Elwood. They were in horrific condition, but we were able to give them a few good years of retirement before their age caught up to them. It’s beyond sad that these gentle giants give their whole lives working for humans and then are dumped like trash when they no longer can perform.

It astonishes me how much people love animals aside from humans. Listen to how carefully and tone she uses to talk about the animal. You never hear any of these tones or words being spoken to human beings that are homeless or struggling in life a lot of the times.
These animals get treated royalty compared to humans that really do need it. It's unbelievable and scary at the same time.

When I lived in England my grandmother had a retired timpany drum horse and he was as big as Big John. His name was Duke. I used to have to climb on the tractor to get on him. He had been retired due to his front fetlocks being too straight. He was loads of fun too. On the beach I let him. loose for a little bit and he walked over my foot. Thank God for sand. XD

These are the same beautiful horses who pull the carriages in Charleston SC in 95 degree F heat and 90% humidity. One poor horse just did not want to move, the carriage driver just kept cracking the whip on him. My heart ached for the horse.

The Amish are notoriously bad to their animals. I feel so sorry for their horses, dogs and all of their animals. The Amish run them into the ground and are so unloving. They care and regard they show their animals is out of the 1800s.

This is disconcerting and saddening.
I would have thought the Amish would have been more caring in their treatment of animals.
Anyway, I’m happy to see him happy, and hope he lives at least another 20 years.

Thank you so much for rescuing these horses, to save them from slaughter! Humans can be so ignorant of our beautiful animals. They deserve life shown with love and kindness.

Me an Irishman now wanting to pick up about 100 beers to go on the session with a giant horse. Lad looks like he could put away about 6 pints in a minute when he's taking it slow

Horses, big or small are so kind & gentle & do not deserve to be badly treated, I hope Big John is still enjoying His Beer & retirement.

That's all any guy needs when he retires. Room to run with the boys, a beer to chase down the hay and a lot of scratches & kisses.

It is astounding that the Amish do not seem to take better care of their horses, since horses are integral to Amish lifestyles.

For anyone who thinks the Amish are 'quaint' and kindly, this should open your eyes. They are notorious for their awful puppy mills

Thank you for your great kindness. Once again, evidence of the cruelty of practicing Christians, in this case the Amish.
