The owner knew they had Salmonella as he told our group who went to go help with the horses - they brought bales of hay with them. I have no idea how he knew but im just telling you what been going around..

Ah, so repeating here-say rather than actual known facts :) Which is why all this went so out of control on GHR....sigh....

PAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Oh bless, you are quite naive aren't you?

How were they 'killed'?

Around 60 horses and cattle have been left on land that is flooded and at a very high risk of being flooded again by the river severn.

Welfare organisations have been contacted and obviously cannot take on so many horses at once in such a short amount of time so they have asked anyone with spare land that can take a few could you please contact RSPCA or WHW.

We are due even more rain over the next few days and the water levels aren't far off 2007 in which case theses poor animals will not survive.

Link to photos of the horses currently:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4878853371214&set=a.4878851691172.2192292.1293924117&type=1&theater

Even if you can only take on one or two that would be a huge help the landowner says he wants them gone.

Local radio stations have also been contacted to put a plea out for people to temporarily take on the horses and cattle.

Please don't turn this into an argument but if you can help brilliant. :)

I do think it's rather rude of these new posters to come on here and tell long standing members what they can and cannot post on - how very dare they!? This isn't GHR where you can get a post removed simply because it's author doesn't agree with you and/or admin!


I'm afraid I'm taking most reports of hopping lame horses, dead horses, salmonella and missing eyes with a pinch of salt - provide proof and I might believe. There has been too much speculation, exageration and conflicting eyewitness reports going on over this I don't really believe a word anyone says.

For once (can't believe I'm going to say this) you are talking absolute sense, Moomin, and I totally agree with you :eek: Who wold have believed that?!? :D
 
Et voila, the classic "I'm not getting my own way so I am going to claim bullying and then flounce off" response :D

I would say please go back to GHR peek-a-boo, but I suspect you arent welcome there either :rolleyes:

Byyeee! :)

Ooh, before you go, could you be so kind as to let us know how the horses were 'killed'?

Ta very muchly!
 
Not going to get involved in the thread apart to say that the Netherlands clip has just sent shivers down my spine and brought me to tears! What an amazing sight. Not to mention the music is one of my favourites too.

Not sure if that was the poster's intention to prove - I think they may have just been posting footage generally.

Sorry I should have been clearer - I appreciate the person who posted this footage was not involved in the "rescue" effort, so was not making any point by posting it. I believe the video was taken by "rescuers" who were trying to show how appalling the conditions were for the horses...all I see is horses swimming?
 
The 6 horses in the video footage certainly don't have the look of malnourished horses, they all have adequately full flanks and topline. Horses can swim, and a few bales of hay are not going to make a jot of difference to 60 beasts (other than cause a fight!). I suggest you go and turn your efforts to something more worthwhile like the 'worldwide preservation of idiots'............

If that is the case and they are trying to prove something by that footage then that is laughable.

Plenty of people do the same on their horses in the sea! :rolleyes:

I actually saw a very similar picture on FB today (since I live 5 miles from the stricken horses) - yes, it was someone swimming their horse in the flood water having a great time :)
