This Line Of Horses Is Famous On TV, Now Watch How They Treat An Elderly Friend…

The Budweiser Clydesdales are a group of famously well bred horses used for various commercial and advertising purposes by the Budweiser brewing company. They are showcased each year at the annual Superbowl and have a running fan base of many passionate horse lovers.


One of which is Marian Roberts, an elderly 95 year-old currently in hospice care at Crossroad Hospice. Crossroad Hospice has a tradition of attempting to set up each client’s own version of a perfect dream day and then making said day come true.

For Marian Roberts, a visitation day with the Budweiser Clydesdales is just what she wanted. As a recipient of her first pony at the young age of seven, Marian has interacted and loved horses for the entirety of her life. She later become a trick rider in her teens and is to this day still very passionate about the animal she loves.

She has loved the Clydesdales since the day she first saw one of the immense and majestic horses and through a bit of effort her perfect day was able to be granted by Crossroad Hospice. She was taken to the Clydesdales’ Warm Springs Ranch in Missouri.

Normally visitation of the ranch doesn’t begin until later this month yet an exception was made and Marian got her own day to meet and greet with some of the seventy plus horses bred there. Marian was more than happy interact with the horses and can be seen having a phenomenal time with them.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore.  We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist.  Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change.   I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia.
