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

I am a frequenter to york sales, and sadly cannot make this months as weve got a full on day at work and cant take the time off!! So sadly i cant be thereto offer any HHO support, but im thrilled to see so many people offering their time, money and space to this poor mare, im so happy that she will be finding a lovely home from HHO, well done to the OP, for raising this issue!

Dont know if DJV is involved with rescue centre that cannot be named, or who she is, but i know of this "rescue centre", and this is NOT somewhere youd want her to go.
 
Just a comment ref RDA pony. They dont often own the ponies that they use. Two of my ponies are used at the RDA and only one of the ponies on my day is actually owned by the RDA. They have two that have retired to a life of luxury.
I hope that this poor mare gets helped without lining unscrupulous peoples pockets.
 
Before this turns into another argument I will tell you what I know.

I have offered to collect Rose from the sales and deliver her to hch4971, who I happen to know. I dont need anything for diesel. Heather has offered a field at her place for Rose to stay for a few days until whoever buys her can arrange things. Basically some breathing space.

Mine and I'm sure Heathers offers are not dependant on who buys her.

As to who the people who are buying, there seem to be several and I dont know anything about any of them. I also dont know whether they are clubbing together or will end up bidding against each other.

I just hope whatever happens Rose gets a lovely home for life.

That sounds fantastic. And a great offer from both of you.
 
The Dales Society will have her owner registered, time is so short, but a message could be got to the owner that there is a home waiting for her and she need not go to the sale.

Poor old lady, I know times are hard, but if you have the diesel money to get her to the sale you have the money to call the local hunt. I can only think something can have happened to her owner, surely nobody, even the most callous b'stard would send a horse of that age to a sale. An absolute disgrace. I have very little spare cash, but if she needs anything in her new home I will offer any help I can.

Who is BER, checked all the posts and can't see a poster with something that matches these initials, and why are you worried (PM me if you don't want to get into it on the forum).

To be discussed at another time on another thread - not this one or it will be pulled.

some people have no shame. How could you put a horse of that age through a sale and ensure it will have a decent future. So unfair. Hope somebody takes pity on it and gives the horse a decent life for the rest of his/her days.

Agree with this totally. FGS! Some people don't get it do they?!
 
Does anyone own a dales pony. I'm just thinking about travel boots. Do you think the cob ones I use on our coloured cob will fit. Just thinking about width of leg with all that feather. I use full on our other cob but he's bigger and they will probably come too high up the legs. Perhaps I had better take both and some pads and bandages.

To be honest I have never booted up leaving a sales (so much going on, people want you loaded and gone etc) I doubt she will be shod anyway. Just put a bit of bedding down for her. Just leave it as your aim to get her to destination no 1 safely and stress free as poss.

I haven't got a dales but I have a full feathered 14hh cob who takes cob size travel boots.
 
I had a Dales mare. I bought her from a sale in emaciated condition, she foaled 2 weeks later. Cob size travel boots fitted her fine, but, as others have said, no boots and plenty of straw will be far less stressful for her. If she's like mine, she's probably never worn boots in her life.

So great you are doing this.
 
Good luck guys in trying to secure a happy home for her (shame we can't rescue all of them including the "ferrel" ponies from the moor)! :( :( keep us all posted with the result.
 
Wow, thank god for the good people left in the world eh?
Who is paying? and is it actually sorted where she will live? Just it all sounds slightly up in the air and the beh home (that i know nothing of) just sounds a bit like it may be dodgy.

Very best of luck to all involved xx
