I am Prince

I received a rug today from the lovely bestdogdash! So as soon as it arrived i ran down to the yard to play dress up with prince and oh my god!
It is his size but because he's so small in the body it looks hilarious! Hopefully he'll be abit fatter by the time he needs to wear it!

This picture made me cry! There's just something so heartwarming about his expression and that snuggly rug!!
 
Hello everyone, haven't updated much as ive been busy at work and the next pic i post i really want it to show some improvement! prince is fine, some cows moved across the road today so all hell broke loose at tw yard with horses flying over fences and some heavy snorting! But Prince was the only one who took it in his stride, he's more interested on talking to them (: x
 
I assume this horse is now yours? Well done for highlighting this porr animals helpless little life. I wish you all the best luck and look forward to seeing and hearing about his progress.
 
Not a brilliant update but prince had his feet done today! Very successful and good news all round. Blog has been updated, turns out they weren't publishing so theres a few on there.

Worked out he's getting through a bag of speedibeet and fast fibre every 10 days. The micronised linseed is holding up well however! Pics tomorrow for the 2 week update. Let me know if you see any improvement, i doubt i'll see it as im with him everyday almost!
 
Gosh he really isn't that old at all :), hopefully that means he will be able to pick up relatively quickly with some care :D. So pleased you go there in the end :D
 
That is a lot of feed, lucky prince! :) Our old boy prob gets through a bag of fast fibre in 2.5 weeks and speedibeet near lasts a month I think, glad you have him on that it really seems to have helped our poor doer :)
 
Pictures on the blog. Its been 2 weeks and although he's abit soggy i'd like any experience eyes to tell me if they think he's getting any better. Simply for my own wellbeing, he's obviously going to continue being fed his current diet :D but id like to hear that he may be changing for the better.

Im shocked. Would it help if you ask the organisation that helped you save Prince to write to the RSPCA. You are doing a wonderful job with Prince and if he could talk he would have told the inspector how hard you are working to give him his life back (and tell them to sod off!) I understand how upset you must feel as i am furious on your behalf!
Perhaps you could send them a copy of your blog and of this thread, with a covering letter.
Hugs and virtual moral support x

Yes I thought exactly this. Just ridiculous! If you continue to get problems ask for their email address and we can all email them with a copy of this thread and your blog! You are doing a great job. x x

ETA - Just had another look at all your pics, bless him. I think you said the vet said there was some liver damage and that can interfere with weight gain. Might be worth investigating that a bit more so that you know that your expensive feed does end up doing the good it should! x x

I was angry at first then i just got really upset! Its easy to see he's being cared for, his field is immaculate, he had a rug on and im sure they must have seen the 2 feed buckets by the gate.
I understand why they came, hes a skinny horse in the field, they didnt know when they came out that he had been chaned ownership. But they called the old owner before writing the note and he explained that he had transferered ownership to me at the begining of the month and gave them my number and address! Yet i've had no calls and done all i can by leaving my details with reception.
 
I know you do not want to have a RSPCA slanging match but have a look at this website for support and get information on your rights.

I got a rescue pony at the start of the year and I 'hid him' for a least two weeks, but it allowed me to worm him and de louse whilst in. There are so many people that see a thin horse and think it must be mistreated when just like people there can be an under lying cause.
To be honest for the sake of your sanity I would move him and turn him out rugged. The RSPCA employee is just ticking the boxes and as long as they follow their guidelines their line manager will be happy. Never expect anyone who think they are in the right to say they are wrong especially if they belong to a big organisation. I neighbour of mine was asked to get a youngsters feet trimmed, the farrier trims them and the RSPCA girl is still not happy, knows more than a farrier.
 
He's under the care of your Vet, so get the RSPCA officer to call the Vet as well as putting them in touch with the welfare agency that helped you.

I'm so cross that they finally try do something after he's been rehomed to someone who actually is caring for him... talk about missing the boat.
 
Do hope you can sort this without more distress to yourself. Suggest you get in touch with BHS officer who helped you with ownership transfer and ask for their help to clear up misunderstanding

Why not talk to your vet as well and explain what has happened, they may be able to give you some proof to send to RSPCA as well.

You have done so much, really sorry you have been given all this worry.

I was pretty much thinking this above! (maybe add your vets number in too, plus links to blog/h&h threads)

You have done an amazing job with Prince and i love hearing about his progress, so please don't let this get you down. :)
