Help Humphrey

They can't help animals that are really suffering but take in a horse that appears to be well cared for...
 
What are these people thinking? Are there so few abused animals in need of help that they are resorting to stealing perfectly healthy, happy horses. My heart goes out to Humphrey and his owner.
 
That's a beautiful video of a girl who apparently adores her horse and her horse appears to love her back and be in good health. What are we not seeing? Surely somebody has been in touch with a solicitor etc? I'd like to know more - can't find anything on google - does anyone have any further knowledge of this? If it is as cut and dried as in the video then I'm appalled.
 
I agree Angelbones what are we all missing as they clearly have a great time in that video enjoying life to the full. What a gorgeous horse.
 
Very local to me, and I have my own theories as to why this particular horse was targeted.

I really don't want to say anymore for fear of causing an uproar but this horse being taken is a complete disgrace. He is a bit on the lean side but we have had a horrific winter up here (still going!) but he is very well looked after and much loved.
 
Flippn eck if that's lean I'd hate that person to see our mares after the winter.
 
Horse does look lean, lacks top line and would look better with more cover, but I'm surprised that it has been removed -


This was the ride it was removed after -

I am normally the 1st to think there is no smoke without fire, but don't see why advice not given rather than removal.
 
This is a disgrace:eek:....the RSPCA/SSPCA etc. have alot to answer for especially as they fail to actually help those animals that ACTUALLY need it!:mad:

Don't give up your fight and I truly hope you get him back soon, you clearly have a wonderful relationship with YOUR horse.:)

*hugs*
 
That is just heartbreaking. I'm just lost for words. Talk about picking on an easy target. And... a feckin' weaving grill. Just... *!*!
 
Saw this on Facebook, if you type in help Humphrey it should come up. Really feel for the girl, is there something we are missing??
 
Unless there's something sinister hidden away somewhere (which does seem doubtful) then this makes me SICK!
How dare they? I'm utterly lost for words!!

That poor girls reaction to her boy being taken away makes me cry. Her heart must have been absolutely shattered.
 
If they think he's too skinny and more than a lean tb I'm scared to take jazz out in public incase they take her off me for being grossly overweight ;)

Just the type of horse someone would take a fancy too as well
 
I would like an explanation from the SRSPCA charity that seized this horse as there is something very wrong going on here.

Totally agree, they seem a law unto themselves.

Horse looks lean, but noway an animal that need to be removed as far as I can see.

Additionally they don't appear to have given the owner any paperwork. That can't be right. :mad:
 
The horse looks quite poor in a few clips on that video, HOWEVER I don't think it's lean enough to warrant it being taken as it was. But are we missing something? Why did they feel the need to video it on a small circle at what looks like a meet of some kind?

I think they were just videoing him at the start of the Currie Riding of the Marches. Doubt they thought they would need it as evidence! Also suspect he was only walking in a circle as, as an ex racehorse, is unlikely to stand still in that kind of atmosphere.
 
SSPCA are a COMPLETELY separate charity to the RSPCA. They have no links, rules, interaction or policies in collaboration with each other.

Help Humphrey
Wednesday
The SSPCA have no reason for Humphrey to still be in there care! The owner is not being charged! An independent vet has given him a clean bill of health!

Help Humphrey They abused our rights, we didn't know that night they couldn't take without a warrant! We asked for names they refused! We had no choice police were there! x
