  • Beautiful Totally beautiful to watch and great knowing so many saved. The horses look so elegant. Dankuweil for this.

  • 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!

  • ZOVEEL paarden!!!! ik ben ZOOO gelukkig dat ze allemaal veilig zijn aangekomen ; D

  • 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.

  • Wat in froulju!

  • Obviously none of the Resecures were Politicians.  They got the job done

    without the help of the Federal reserve Bank of N.Y. leading them 5 Trillion dollars.

  • @williamwagener Man oh man; you spelled "lend" wrong.

    "b-r-i-b-e"

  • Honest, concerned, altruistic leadership. Boy, I wish those guys would show up in Washington!

    What a touching, wonderful video.

  • @CNN911Fakes You mean women ;-)

  • @freepalestina88 Of course, I meant the non-gender "guys" and, what I really meant was

    "any of them and none of ours"

    But, I am confident the banksters would corrpupt or kill them too.

    Still, I love this story!

  • kippenvel..tranen in m'n ogen....zo super om dit te zien..ook de muziek is hier geweldig bij...

    Respect voor de redders!!

  • Ik blijf kippevel houden als i kdeze beelden terug zie.

  • Oooh dat klein paardje :) Zo mooi om te zien die reddingsactie.

  • die op de bonte ziet op mn manege ;)

  • Mooiste beelden ooit

  • thats so amazing pictures...

  • prachtige paarden, die eet je toch niet op!! kom op zeg mensen denk eens even na!!!

  • het is zo goed gedaan door die meiden!

  • Is wel heel slecht Engels, maar het filmpje blijft indrukwekkend.

  • heyyy chrissy, wat leuk om je hier te 'lezen' hihi, tut Fardow

  • Perfeckt is zn lief beest en de anderen ook natuurlijk maar die arme beesten zijn gelukkig wel gered van hun slacht en het eiland

  • @christie1234562 Wat is erg vind is dat veel paardenslachters beweren dat ze alleen maar 'wrakke' paarden slachten. Wat natuurlijk een grove leugen is.

  • wat zullen die 4 dames wel niet trots zijn! geweldig om dit weer te zien.

  • zoo zielig:'(

  • Heerlijk om deze opname te bekijken.

    Grote klasse dames.

    Eigenlijk zou men er een bioscoopfilm over kunnen maken.

    Met durf, liefde en verstand van zaken werden deze prachtige paarden gered

    door 4 amazones.

    Het klinkt eigenlijk als een Hollywood -scenario.

    Merci om de opname te delen "ferwerderadiel"

  • @gerhardg1

    Met die bioscoopfilm zijn ze al bezig, alleen moeten ze de financien rond krijgen (daar loopt de filmmaker tegenaan .. fouronemedia )

  • Top !

    respect voor de meiden(L)

  • Absolutely heart lifting video & beautiful story! Love & respect for horses! : )

  • Prachtig met die muziek eronder!

  • 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.”

  • GEWELDIG! egt diepe \buiging voor die 4 meiden!. k kreeg gwn kippenvel! zo mooi. egt heel goed! diepe respect voor jullie! ('ll)

  • Én olyat böböltem...

  • nee het waren geen slacht paarden hoor,

    Het waren paarden die bij zon boer stonden en die stonden daar gewoon.......Eigenlijk zijn het wilde paarden!

  • echt fantastisch hoe die vrouwen dat hebben geregeld! echt dierenliefde!!!

  • A M A Z I N G ~ ♥ tears in my eyes - and ladys I go down on my knees for what you've done - Chapeau!!! - thx for sharing ferwerderadiel :)

  • Comment removed

  • ma xchè tenevan la tutti quei cavalli??

  • yessss!!!!! thay made it!!!!

  • Geweldig! zo mooi hoe die paarden het land op komen en samen weg rennen.

    KIPPEVEL!

    Ik zou het zelfde doen, me paard pakken en samen met paard anderen of zelfs nog alleen als het moest die paarden probeeren te redden!

    dikke respect voor die 4 vrouwen en hun paarden!

  • Ik had het zelfde gedaan als ik daar zou zijn!

    Jullie zijn helden

    Respect <3

  • Fantastisch!

    zo goed! echte helden! :D

    Kippenvel+Tranen in mijn ogen!

  • Mooi he!!Nog altijd dik kippevel moment hoor...

  • Ik krijg elke keer weer tranen in mijn ogen als deze video bekijk.

  • Het waren geen slachtpaarden, het waren fokmerries met veulens. Zou dat anders zijn dan?

  • Respect voor die 4 dames.

    Voor het redden van de paarden.

    Ze hebben verstand van dieren!!!

    Maar het waren toch slachtpaarden??

  • @Boellieee ja maar dan kun je ze toch nog wel redden!! beter als laten verhongeren!!!!!!! en ook dikke respect voor die dames!!

  • @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.

  • @Boellieee

    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

  • Comment removed

  • @Boellieee en euhhh nee het waren geen slachtpaarden

  • nog altijd tranen in m'n ogen... dit zijn helden

  • Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise

  • This video will never lose its power and beauty.

  • Whooo!!! Elke keer moet ik vechten tegen mijn tranen...! Echt super mooi!!

  • brrr kippevel!!!!!!!!

  • 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

  • I havo noy yo see so wonderful movie

    I am worried for our beautiful islands in the North and East Sea.

  • Yeah for the women!

  • aww girl ty for sending this to me..made me bawl though! and yes yea for the women who led them!

  • Hoe heet het liedje?/ What's the name of the song?

  • powerful most perfect

  • splendid just so splendid

  • 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!

  • Moat anazing, what folks can do just by caring .

    :)

  • Bravo!

  • 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.

    ~peace~

  • Lorrie sent it to me --and I cried too ! But then a smile came to my face when I saw the happy ending...

  • This is amazing, truly amazing.. I think this is what you can call true love for horses.. risk your own live to save them.. No words to describe!

  • Amazing!

  • The music is so perfect prob is I keep crying every time I watch it OMG

  • 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.

  • very moving

  • Αmazing!

  • Purely magnificent! The Horse...the beauty, the heart, the power the gift of the Spirit. May respect for all that he is be remembered.

  • Wow. Let's hear it for the salt water cow girls across the pond!

  • I will never tire of watching this. It is the most beautiful act of selflessness that I have seen.

  • amazing

  • watching this, i ask myself, it vangelis´s song is made for this film, or if the video has been extra filmed for this music !

    It fits excellent together !!

    Thank you !!

  • Saw this many months ago. Glad to discover it here. Nice music. Beautiful video.

  • thats an amazing story even though i do wonder what would happen to them all once they got onto dry land.

  • 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!

  • Glorious operation, exquisite animals, a classic video. Thanks for uploading. :)

  • It's a good feeling seeing people help fellow cre@ures : )

  • That was Amazing!!!

  • Wow! That was amazing! Brought a tear to my eye.

  • wow. How proud must those riders have felt after saving the lives of thousands of horses?

  • there were about 200 horses, not thousands.

    and there were proud.

  • Weet iemand hoe dit liedje heet???

  • Vangelis

    de titel is Conquest of Paradise

  • this is very AMAZING. Give me shivers when I look at it.

  • 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.

  • Bravo! Bravo!

  • Been looking for this thanx for reposting it is so beautiful xxxxxxxxxx

  • heel vet

  • Could not stop crying. What an epic!

  • 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 was being facetious.

    If your only option is behind the dike, there is not much higher ground. Joking aside, Natural Disasters happen. Death is a part of life.....etc

    (En Ik ben heel slim!) :)

  • RabbitRed: How the f"#k can you get convicted for a natural disaster?? :-P

  • 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!!

  • Does anyone have an update on this? Did the owner get convicted of animal neglect or abuse? Where are the horses now? Adopted?

  • 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.

  • Wasn't he warned? Ach well stubborn northerners.

  • 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!!!

  • i cry when i wathch this video. it is beautiful!

  • That's so amazing!  I almost cried. You know what's kinda scary? One them horses looks almost just like mine. O.o

    PS: no PS

  • awesome video.

  • i dont beleive everything i hear, but when alot of people say it, its confusing so i thought id just ask.

  • 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

  • i heard the horses were rescued to be slaughtered. is it true.

  • Uhm... No. Do you believe everything you hear?

  • what is not to believe than???

  • Thank you all, for all your blessings, we did it, because we love horses.

    they are all (except the drowend horses) a life.and healthy.

    muts regards, Fardow de Ruiter / Kijlstra,

    Holland, (one of the 6 riders)

  • for all you guys who thought the music was awesome like i did...its called "Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis

  • GOd bless those ppls...most amazing vid.....

  • . . . speechless. . . :)

  • I am in tears. Thank you for posting this . . . The score was perfectly matched.

  • telkens al ik dit kijk krijg ik tranen in mijn ogen !!

    ik ben zo trots op de 4 meiden die tijd voor elkaar hebben gekregen !!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful....just beautiful.

  • 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.

  • Most beautiful video I have ever watched. I cry too when I watch, time after time. Simply Beautiful.

  • LOL XD

  • 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 !!!

  • So awesome! Probably - nope, definitely! -- my favorite video!! Just fantastic.

  • 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)

    Incredible...astounding, beautiful.

  • 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"...

  • Quite amazing.

  • 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!

  • incredible...astounding, beautiful.

  • this really was amazing :)

  • I saw it on television when it happend.

    but this really beatyfull to see, how they get saved.

    I was so happy when i saw they where getting saved.

    (I live in The Netherlands)

  • 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 ;)

  • I can never watch this enough! So beautiful.

  • Beautifull < Picobello > Fantastico! > Love it

  • fab vid... take my hat off to thoses women.. but its so sad to think those horses were ment for meat..

    music goes so well w
