look the point in the post was to let people genuinely interested in ponies welfare....I had them in lieu of a debt off a girl who was not looking after them, I didnt want to keep them( no place to keep them and couldnt afford 2 more horses) so i found them a good home with Fumanchu, what she does with them is her choice. they are in a stable being looked after..she payed me 30 pounds for them...it is now her choice what she does with them although she is going to be keeping me updated. she seems like a very very nice person indeed when I met her today. whatever has gone on regarding fumanchu on here I don't want to be any part of it. now please everyone grow up and stop being utterly rude. :cool:
 
Geez guys.,..chill.

Here I was, thinking 'oh! a nice story about someone helping out poor defenceless ponies...'...

Nope.

Bad move on my part, eh?

It's a BitchFest!

I have always said Fumanchu is one of the few HHOers if I had a horse I would have no qualms about her taking over their care. She is forthright, not fluffy (well perhaps a little on occasions) and she has a great practical knowledge of horses without the rose tinted specs. She may be a dealer (I don't think she has ever denied that) but she is a dealer with a heart who would always do the best for the animals in her care be it rehome or PTS. I think the forum is worse off without her.

Id love to hear this too....in all seriousness. As someone who actually KNOWS FMC IN PERSON I find all these threads, snipes, lies and downright defamation really annoying.

Rosie Im going to put you on ignore user before things get out of hand.
 
ok, I never get involved with these slanging matches, am slow on the uptake and cannot work out who is who, but was FMC actually the other user who got banned whose name I cannot recall - J something 7?

please yourself- ive said nothing about the woman,but carry on!!
 
Without mincing words. FMC is a blunt old-fashioned horsewoman who buys up the unwanted dregs of the horseworld and offers them a certain future - if they have what it takes and respond to handling etc they are handled and sold on, if they have physical or mental problems they are taken by her to slaughter - most of them were on their way there anyway before they came to her. Sometimes FMC gets in ponies that she shows photos of, the difference she makes to them is dramatic. FMC has a vast wealth of knowledge which she is willing to share. She cba to wrap it up in velvet though, it's said as she sees it.

Several different sorts of people dislike her. Those who want to be seen as the ultimate source of advice, those who want to be seen as the ultimate rescuer, those who ask idiotic questions, those who ask sensible questions and then don't act on the good advice given, and of course those for whom every equine life is sacred.

You'll find that the majority of balanced down-to-earth people consider her advice sound and her attitude understandable.
 
And yet again a thread about ANIMALS in NEED gets taken over by personalities.
Shame on the slaggers - and well done FMC, didn't see any of the naysayers rushing to help when JB had problems with those ponies.
 
I don't know FMC personally but what I remember of her when she was still about was that her advice was pretty reliably the most sensible and practical given. If I had asked a question and she had commented I would most definetly have taken what she said on board. Even if her opinion was different from mine. I really don't think I understand what the problem is or ever was with her?

Maybe I missed something though as I am only a sporadic user.

"If", we assume that you are right, then is what she's doing wrong? No If ponies can go on and have a useful life, when they've been condemned, then is that such a bad thing? No If fumanchu(?) is a dealer in horses, and she turns around the unacceptable, earns (probably scrapes) a meagre living from it, then is that really so wrong? No again :)

Nothing wrong, nothing illegal. I can never see what people have a problem with. Lucky ponies, good luck to all concerned.

Hey! Guess what? I do exactly the same, only I choose not to talk much about it. I won't be the only one on here doing it either.

It is just the fact that HHOers have put her on a pedastil, she is a dealer no more and no less. She is not a charity, they are all sold on if they pass muster, otherwise they end up at the slaughter house, where they were oringinally meant to be. To get the record straight they are not rescued, if there will be no profit, off they go to Potters. So if we can put this in context, she is a dealer!, and a bin end dealer to boot.[/QUOTE

I have no doubt JM will assess these ponies and make a decision which will be in the best interests of the ponies and financially sensible. I have no issue with that tbh.

Dont know the full details but if it is as it reads then..

If this lady provides a safe haven/ halfway house for an equine in need then fair play to her. Im sure on the money/profit front then she makes nothing. I remember that little grey mare and the cremello foal...enough said. The video was delightful, to see two little lives that had another chance. I found that really heartwarming to be honest.

Each to their own..but Im sure if I was an equine destined for slaughter and I happened across this lady, then very likely I would be counting my blessings indeed.

I totally agree!!! anyway there is nothing wrong with dealing at all...I have done it in the past...quite a good money maker if you got a good eye for cheap horses work with them sell them on and make a profit...whats so wrong with that - as long as the welfare of the animal always comes first obviously!!?

So.... what precisely IS wrong with being a dealer?

Bin end? Again, so what? Smaller, cheaper ponies means more ponies 'rescued', mended and sold on. Where is the problem in that?

Potters, once again, so what? If it is best for the pony and it was destined for there in the first place, so be it. The ponies don't know, they don't suffer and in the end, that's what is most important - isn't it?

Pastie, how many ponies do you take on, get sorted and re-home, for cash or otherwise?

If you have done it in the past, why did you let 2 ponies go for £30. Considering meat price, they were cheap. Quite a profit there dont you think.
