Get Hamlet home. Horse sanctuary being underhand?

[fairyclare]

Please have a look (Facebook link, I hope it works!) this has happened on a yard less than half a mile from me and is not the first time I have heard of it from this particular sanctuary.

Ordinarily I am a supporter of local charities, especially animal charities. However, if what is posted in this page is the whole truth, I find it very hard to see how the horse sanctuary have justified removing this horse without the adopted horsey family even knowing, and on the say so of a non horsey yard manager.

See what you all think - I do not know the parties involved and first became aware of it when a post appeared on a page I am admin on for my area.

Have you read the messages?

I suspect some inaccuracies may be arising here, but obviously don't know.

Yes I have read them, as I said I am not on the yard and neither do I know the parties involved.

It is common knowledge that the new yard manager is trying to clear the yard of a lot of liveries to make way for storage, all seems very strange to me. The sanctuary have been appealing for people to do winter fostering of the rescue horses, this horse has been in his adopted families care for over 10 years - something somewhere is not as it seems!

All very strange and difficult to sort out. Perhaps the faked Facebook page will throw some light on it.

Yes, there is defiantly something amiss somewhere!!

I can't quite get my head around it all.

I'm not sure what they think they will achieve

The horse looks to be owned by the sanctuary and was taken back by them (if I am reading it correctly)

So they want the horse to be returned to the lady after a campaign and have a very uneasy, untrusting relationship thereafter? surely not really a result for either side?

 

[fairyclare]

Quite WelshD.

I can see the sanctuary digging their heels in and not returning the horse to make a point.
The sanctuary manager/owner (not quite sure exactly what but seems the buck stops with her) is very well known for sticking to her word so I am fairly sure she will do over this too!

From reading the posts, it looks as if a third party meddled and caused these problems...

I agree, however, person who had the horse is missing the point however harsh, after 10 years, they still DO NOT OWN the horse.....not got a leg to stand on.

These little scuffles irritate me so. Why can't everyone just get on with things? At least the horse doesn't lose out this time.
