How very sad, 28 yr old Lambton Rose to go through York sales.

Can i just make a little plea, please dont try & track down the vendors, as nice as it would be to save her the journey to the sale, not everyone is as nice as us & they may not appreciate it & you may find you end up with no horse & not knowing where she ends up. I would really sit back & wait, i know its hard & i know you all want whats best for her, but honestly if they are horrible enough to stick her through the sale whose to say they wont just arrange for her to go straight on the knacker lorry if they get wind there might be a lynch mob waiting (im not saying there is, but IF you were the vendor reading this, what would you think?).
I really do hope it all works out ok for her, she really shouldnt be going through any of this.

You are right, softly softly catchy monkey as they say. I've found that the majority of vendors who get to the sales and are approached in a reasonable manner are far more willing to be reasoned WITH

that makes sense but can u really sit back and watch the meat man take her! ok i have space for her to live out her days with me but not the money to buy her! if everyone chipped in we could buy her and give her a life to remember x

Where did i say sit back & watch the meatman take her? Someone has already said they are prepared to go & bid on her, you stand as much chance of buying her as the meatman & its doubtful she will fetch a large sum, the meatman usually bows out at around £300. If you read my post properly what im saying is if you try & track her down now you might find you end up with nothing, the vendors obviously dont want to be known, infact at a guess for this exact reason. I really do think they will bolt & you will end up with nothing & not knowing where the mare has ended up, at a guess they will probably just stick her straight on the meat lorry & leg it before they are spotted!

i hope u did not take my post the wrong way was not intended!!!!!!! if u read my post i know exactly what u meant i was just getting all gung ho with the thought of saving the poor soul and i know exactly what you meant xxx
 
OK just getting a bit confused now about who is actually going to buy her.

I am happy to help with transport. If I am needed could someone let me know.

If you PM me I will reply with my mobile.

Thanks
 
Agree with navaho on this ,the seller wont want to be known as they must know this is not the right thing to do.
Whatever their circumstances they should ,if they cannot keep her, have had her pts at home or taken her directly for slaughter.
I am sure that if approached in the right way,although the vendor may not be at the sale,this poor mare can be purchased and live out her time in a good home.
It is not the time to start a witch hunt, remember the fuss over the Criccieth ponies and that situation is still ongoing.
When she gets purchased may I suggest a new prefix HHO ROSE.

i can offer rose a home! and will be doing my utmost to get that for her x
 
I am sure you can Kim but I think woopsiid and DeJavue have it covered they seem to have the money to buy, an owner or 2 and rockysmum for transport.
I would leave it to them and send loads of good luck vibes on Friday hope we get a good report Friday night.
 
If the people selling her are reading this I imagine the will have high hopes for lots of bidding and may be quite pleased :confused: I HOPE everyone is on the same page and only one HHO party bids. I would get these details straight and now I am also left to wonder if the mysetry sellers will not have somone planted to bid up the 'do gooders' if this has been directed to their attention.


I hope you can reach current owner and make a deal before any of this comes to pass.

But isn't DeJaVue closely related to somebody else who had their "rescue home" closed down by the authorities? That place near York that can't be named?

Apologies DJV if I'm wrong but I'm pretty certain I'm not.

It would be a crying shame for the horse if she was going to go to a home where she would be given insufficient food for her needs :(.

I hope she ends up somewhere where she can live her out her dotage in peace, quiet and happiness.

I agree

You dont want to bid against each other and line the owners pocket any further!

It's early and my brain hasn't rebooted yet but I gather that this mare has someone to bid on them, transport to a yard and a new bed to sleep in. No further homes are needed.

I'd be happy to give a small donation (I'm skint :o ) to pay for diesel for transport and such like.

The horse must not be allowed to go to "her friend"!!

I'm having severe memory loss, what happened to this rescue centre in York? I know of the one in Co Durham but didn't realise there was another case of neglect further down the country.

Oh dear :(
 
I remember the storm there was when she had the twins - those in the DPS and in fact the NPS at the time will also remember too!

To those who mention 'shame on the RDA' - maybe she did this a while back - not recently & its nothing to do with them & hasn't been for a few yrs

If all else fails, am happy to liase with someone to give full funds & provide a final home for this old girl. Have plenty of field space, shelters & stables - and 2 other ladies - 1 of which is 1 yr younger & used to living with other big natives.

Please drop me a PM tonight if you need help & I'll respond with phone numbers. Transport can also be sorted, tho prob not at the drop of a hat.
