You have probably already seen this on the forum somewhere, but just in case you didn't, have a look at this weblink. Need Google video player or another video player to view it. Nice to know that there is humanity out there! P.S. Get the tissues ready.......

The horses were going for meat weren't there in the end?

Or was that just a rumour in the end?

No! Don't say that!! Really? Oh my God. Thats terrible. (Well, I'm english so would say that) Some of them looked really good quality too. Especially the coloured ones. Blimey. Struggle to find a good coloured horse over here. Sure they would have got a lot more here for them than for meat!

Seen it before, brought a tear to my eye then, and a tear to my eye now. What amazing footage. And yes there were it seems some quality horses amongst them

What an amazing sight. Very tearful at the moment i would have them all i would be very busy but it rather have them all than them go for meat. Hey we could all share them on here.

I really felt for that coloured foal that followed the ridden horse when they hit land, it looked totally lost. It was such an amazing operation to rescue them all like that. What a happy ending
