Leigh animal rescue

[sarahann1]

Am curious, does anyone know anything about this place? Currently selling off colts at 8weeks old up to 4months purchased from an unnamed breeder for £600. They’re calling themselves a charity, but not on the charity register.

Just been reading that. Sounds dodgy to me, but like the 52 TB’s thing that does the rounds every so often.

Scam its a dealer foals are from £2,000 for the smaller ones when people have messaged.

Figures, they’ve got a good sob story going.

These are local to me, they once squatted on church grounds and had to be taken to court to get them gone. They were also selling pretty bog standard, sweet ponies for thousands and thousands under the guise of charity very recently.

They’re local to me too, they’re currently stabled round the corner from where I live. She seems to have a few “rescues” yet one of the latest is a 6500 cob ? it’s very nice I will admit.

But she definitely isn’t a rescue

Is this the same person who had the land down firs lane way?

I think you will find those poor foals were bought from Appleby for a lot less than £600 definitely not rescues.

Unless they are claiming to be registered charity and quoting a registration number they are not doing anything wrong.

A dealer in cob foals, but a dealer nevertheless.

 

[Kaylum]

These foals are said to be as young as 8 weeks and already away from their mothers.

Poor little sods

I was trying to remember who previously had a deal with a 'breeder' to act as an outlet for their poor quality cob foals - sandra/whispering willows.

I get the feeling from this one that they are saying all the right things (and prob quite well practised at doing so)

This was my first thought when I saw this on facebook.

So everyone involved makes money and next year the ‘Breeder’ breeds even more for people to rescue

I never failed to be amazed at how gullible some people are. The FB post is full of people offering to take them.

I saw lots of people willing.. until they were told how much they were! But I agree with you, people will literally fall for anything with a sob story, it amazes me.
It's like the gofundme's for animal vets bills.. someone I know did one for her dog which my mum donated to, mum told me I was unreasonable for saying if they can't afford it the vet treatment isn't undertaken, but no-one jumped up to pay my 000's worth of vets bills when my horse was unwell

Crikey.

 

[coblets]

Saw a FB post that *allegedly* some of colts have tested positive for strangles too... Poor babies

This has to be a wind up

Doesn't appear to be. Is on dodgey dealer fb page.

 

[Poingsettia]

Should be reported to the police, as the reg is clearly visible. I wonder what Oliver George wants to tell the purchaser?!

Why? A shetland 2 year old was once delivered to me in the back of a Discovery, people do dumb things.

Anyone seeing our Yorkshire Farm will have seen the pony from Appleby transported in the land rover.

Is sad.

Perhaps I’m just naive ?
