If anyone can suggest any lines of inquiry for me to follow I'll gladly do so. (Please be polite )

 

[be positive]

Cannot be polite so will not say anything!!!!!! Just why do they think it ok to pass on the poor horse surely they can come to some arrangement to pay for treatment.

 

[risky business]

What an awful advert

Poor thing.

 

[bearTessy]

I'm taking it they cannot afford the treatment and therefore have to sell her ? This then begs the question just why have they let her possibly get into foal ... Foals are not exactly cheap !

 

[Elsiecat]

How sad. Hope someones got a space in their field/heart. Wish I had the money/time/space for her

 

[touchstone]

Poor mare, I wish I could take her on.

 

[dunkley]

Poor bl***y horse

I bet the owner will say how upset she is to be selling a horse that she really, really, loves............. yeah, right

 

[Clare85]

very sad state of affairs

 

[Foxy O]

That's terrible

 

[AmyMay]

Stinks!

 

[LittleMonster]

Poor horse

i hope someone nice takes her in

 

[Chestnut horse]

Very sad really hope she gets a lovely home.

No getting veterinary treatment for any animal that needs it has got to be an offence. I think this is shocking. Poor horse and ignorant owner.

 

[meesha]

cant post what I think, poor horse

I was just thinking the same. Awful.

 

[Crugeran Celt]

If the mare is pregnant then I assume the same owner who cannot afford £150 for an equine dentist has paid a stud fee which I would imagine was a lot more than £150. I paid that 21 years ago for my mare to go to stud to a TB.

I can't see the ad. Is the mare in Cambridgeshire?

 

[FlaxenPony05]

I can't see the ad. Is the mare in Cambridgeshire?

Kent

 

[Tern]

I can't see the ad. Is the mare in Cambridgeshire?

Not it's in Chatham.


Poor horsey..

 

[zigzag]

poor horse, and to say you could claim on insurance is wrong, as you are already buying a horse with something wrong

 

[*hic*]

Ah too far for me, for some reason I thought it was Cambs.

 

[babymare]

Surely this is a welfare issue as in not getting vet care? Poor bloody mare the pain must be awful. Just speechless of owners

 

[ester]

and tooth extraction usually requires a vet present as it is classed as 'surgical' poor, poor horse.

 

[Irishdan]

Just knew she was going to be an ex racer! How very sad

 

[FlaxenPony05]

Quite near to me. It's so sad

 

[Rose Folly]

Could anyone near Chatham go to see her on the pretext of buying her, and then report the issue to World HorseWelfare or the BHS? The owner wants shooting. Poor little mare.

 

[Megibo]

Poor mare!

 

[Boodles]

Agree with ester, a tooth out will legally require a vet in this country.

One of mine had a tooth root abcess a few years ago and it cost a 'little' more than £800, although his was a pre-molar so may well be less for an incisor if the lump really is 'under her chin' as the advert says. Mine wasn't insured so I well know how much it cost! He was a similar age too so the teeth are still long and deep - not so common for 'younger' horses to get tooth root abcesses when the teeth are still flush at the bases, but perfectly possible.

Absolutely agree that it's potentially a welfare case - and agree that I've found the BHS or WHW are better at dealing with these sorts of things than other 'charities'... I'm miles away - could some one closer report them?

Poor mare.

(She could be 'accidentally' in foal so no stud fee required...?)

 

[Tiddlypom]

Poor mare, she's got such an honest expression too.

I also don't believe that an EDT can do an extraction, I'm sure that it would be a vet job, and it is quite a major procedure. She must be in a lot of discomfort, poor thing.

Defo a welfare issue.
