Not sure this will come across right as feeling a bit emotional but here goes.

Having heard the upsetting news today about those poor horses I just wanted to say to everyone that whilst we're worrying about haynets and draw reins and over-rugging and some of us aren't that experienced and others might put a bit in incorrectly or a noseband on too loose - can I say that today it just doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter that some of us have arguments about feed and the right way to school a youngster and some forum members have different thoughts on spurs and whips that others might not agree with.

Just thank goodness for people like us. (And who cares if your YO puts 5 rugs on her natives.)

Thank goodness for people whose horses are happy and well cared for.
And lets spare a thought for those who are not

Here here!

I think everyone on here adores their horses and it makes all our little bickers so insignificant.

It's very sad.

Well said, its heart breaking what is happening to those horses. I hope that those that survived are able to live a happy life from now on.

DG.
 
i totally agree,its a sad day and i hope the ones they did rescue get better and have people like us to care for them from now on
rip those poor horses that didnt make it x
 
I completely agree but the sad thing is there is not enough of us people to stop this from happening again

!!However i hope that these charities get the donations that are so much needed and deserved at this time!!!!
 
ah, thanks for your replies, those poor ponies really got to me, as they have got to all of us - is truly awful.

I was worrying tonight as I left my broodmare's stable rug off. Silly worries they are but they do show that we care..
 
You know I was sitting here thinking the same thing. Last night I woke bolt upright worrying that maddie was cold she wasn't, I worry all the time over little things!

I wish I was closer to where the horses are located. I'd offer temporary emergency grazing to however many horses they needed it for. We have about 60 acres that won't be used for first cut silage or the first round of grazing when the cows go out. It's going to be a devil of a job to find foster homes that urgently for so many horses.

Poor things.

sadly I dont think they will let people help like that, I have a spare space and stable but would imagine they will want to gather evidence and check them first before letting them go...
 
I realise that of course.

I just meant if they struggled in the interim to find enough places at sanctuaries for them, after their initial vet checks, that I would be more than willing to have a number of horses here on a temporary arrangement for two months or so whilst a more permanent solution could be found for them.
 
if i had the money the time the space i wud have all the rescued horses, so i cud look after them and give them the best life ever. then i wud go 2 bed every night knowin i have done something good in life which would make me very happy!
