I have watched this video several times, and I cry each time. Those women on their beautiful horses did an extraordinary job saving the stranded horses! Love this video!
paarden zijn kuddedieren en dat heeft hun leven gered! Ik vind het ZO jammer van die 18 paarden die verdronken zijn. Maar 18 paarden op een stuk of 200 is gelukkig een klein aantal.
@christie1234562 Wat is erg vind is dat veel paardenslachters beweren dat ze alleen maar 'wrakke' paarden slachten. Wat natuurlijk een grove leugen is.
het zijn gewoon hadels paarden, er lopen hengsten en merries door elkaar heen, de merries worden gedekt door de hengsten en de veulens worden in de groep groot en worden dan verkocht of blijven staan en worden dan weer gedekt.
als je weer langs die weide toevallig komt staan er weer zoveel paarden.
Heel erg mooi om te zien. Ik heb het fragment opgezocht omdat het bij de uitvaart van Harry Mulisch werd getoond. Harry Mulisch was zeer onder de indruk van deze beelden en heeft er over gezegd “Die paarden dat is mooier dan Shakespeare.”
@Boellieee Wat maakt dat uit?? Het zijn levende wezens. Maar je hebt wel gelijk. Uiteindelijk zijn ze opgekocht, niet voor de slacht, meen ik me te herinneren.
beetje late reactie :P het waren idd slacht paarden. uiteindelijk is besloten om deze paarden niet naar de slacht te brengen. maar te laten genieten om een droog stuk weiland
Echt geweldig wat die meiden hebben gedaan, er gaat hier ook een film over worden gemaakt, alleen spelen die meiden en hun opaarden er niet in maar echte acteurs, het wordt dus een flut film andere mensen gaan weer met de eer strijken terwijl andere mensen die paarden hebben gered :S
omg! what amazing bunch of people! this made me cry I'm glad they manage to get across safely. Thank you so much for posting. its really nice to see people trying help animals. :)
The herding instict for horses is strong: those women knew what they were doing! And I don't think there's a more noble sight in the world than a great mob of them running free.
Thanks for sharing this, Lorrie- it got to me too!
Bravo to the women who risked their own lives to save the lives of these beautiful animals! 5 stars for this magnificent video! Thanks Taevara for sending this one to me...
Lorrie, you said this one was awesome and made you cry...ME TOO!! Thanks for sharing. This is really incredible to watch. I am really glad they were able to rescue these beautiful horses.
I always have to come back and watch this I always think about these horses all the time, and I do hope they did find wonderful homes for them like they said happened. God Bless those girls and all those poor horses.
I am so glad this is still on here, I kept it in my faves never cried so hard, wish I could've been there to help, I would've wanted to keep every horse there love them all, and the braveness of those girls!
The wonderful thing about this video is it shows the spirit and determination of human and animal. Not always a positive combination. Those of us who love and own horses can totally relate to the heartbreak of them being in peril and at a loss of what to do. The brave women who make the trip across to save so many are truly heroines.
I watched this a long time ago and I cried and cried and cried. I have taken up horse-riding since. When I read about this rescue in the Reader's Digest this month, I just had to watch it again. The rescue was awesome. It must have been cold and wet and awfully frightening but Micky, Berber and their friends gave all they could muster out of the love in their hearts for fellow living beings! I love you all!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
All the fuss about the horses is ridiculous. Everyone eats meat, they don't care about the millions of slaugtered cattle every year, and now everybody was concerned about some horses!
I was looking for it too - a beautiful film and the music is so fitting. How brave these people were and it's so good that these beautiful horses were saved.
Bullerbyjejen, I'm in the US and it was reported here that the owner had notice to move the horses to higher ground as the flooding was a forseen. The follow up to this which was reported on our LOCAL news that the owner was being investigated for animal negligence. I was asking about what I had heard on the news here and not suggesting anything. Pardon the f%ck outta me.
Place the horses on higher ground means in Dutch term: Put the horses behind the dicke!!! And not in the kwelders. (Kwelders are flooded when the water is high.) Gosh. You know nothing?
i had to watch this 3 times because i couldnt see through the tears streaming down my face....x)......those 4 woman are heroes....what a fantanstic video to put your faith back into human kind!!
There's not an awful lot you can do about an overnight storm and rainfall. The owner feels as bad as everyone else. It's in no one's interest to convict the owner. He already lost 18 of his horses.
hi yes here is holland .. friesland in fact.. the owner was not convicted because he had apparently correctly expected the horses would choose to go to the highest location...which strangly enough they did not do..everybody here was disgusted in the beginning but now understands a bit...
I have seen this version of the rescue many times..and always cry my way through it..The use of Vangelis, was brilliant!! I show it to everyone..It is truly inspirational!!!
These horses gained the attention of about 15 million Dutch people, who watch the news everyday and heard about these horses everyday. I'd draw my own conclusions from this. Additionally, these horses are a small pride of the north. It just makes the question seems like a bit of a stab at the Dutch to those who were reading it.
This really touches my heart, its so wonderful, it makes me cry from the joy :) if only everyone helped animals like this, what a wonderful world it would be x
Excellent camera work! Outstanding music!! Magnificent video!!! It's one of my favorites on YouTube. I weep tears of joy every time I see it. Thank you so much for posting it.
My friend emailed me this video and I saved it, when I wantd to view it today the link was closed. I found it again on YOU TUBE (of corse) and once again cried most the way through. Who ever added the music was spot on...KUDOS to you. These horses behaved better than most humans I know, LOVE IT !!!
This was magnificent. The women who risk their lives to save these horses were heroic and brave! It brought tears to my eyes (and I'm not usually emotional)
thankyou for making such an impressive little jewel! the music is exactly right and i almost cry every time i watch it. i dont want to defend the farmer but it was strange of the horses that they did not go to the highest point when the water rose... they simply went to the wrong 'hight"...
...these horses were never intended for meat...these horses all look remarkably well cared for (especially considering what they'd been through) and many look to be Freisian horses - the pride of Holland. Make no mistake, these were not horses intended for slaughter (just my opinion).
Acctually, the poor unhealthy horse are the only horses that get slaughtered is a myth. I've seen video tape of the slaughter houses, researched the whole issue in depth, and the way these horses look is typical of horses that get slaughtered. Besides, Holland is a major slaughterer of horses
Beautiful Totally beautiful to watch and great knowing so many saved. The horses look so elegant. Dankuweil for this.

Echt heel mooi filmpje!
Die muziek eronder is erg goed.
Ik vind het erg knap van die meiden
die zowel het leven van hunzelf als
die van hun paarden waagde om deze
paarden te redden! Petje af!

I think this was nothing short of magnificent. And, the women who risk their lives to save these horses nothing short of heroic and bravery!

hmmmmmmm I wonder what ever happened to the farmer who rented the land to the horse owners in the first place

...these horses were never intended for meat...these horses all look remarkably well cared for (especially considering what they'd been through) and many look to be Freisian horses - the pride of Holland. Make no mistake, these were not horses intended for slaughter (just my opinion).

Acctually, the poor unhealthy horse are the only horses that get slaughtered is a myth. I've seen video tape of the slaughter houses, researched the whole issue in depth, and the way these horses look is typical of horses that get slaughtered. Besides, Holland is a major slaughterer of horses

Ik vind het ook een heel mooi filmpje!
Wel zielig dat die paarden bedoeld waren voor het vlees.
Maar toch! Ik woon zelf ook in nederland dusseh ;)
