Oh dear Lord...

Is there anything that we can do as a group to stop this?
Fight for changes to the laws - make indiscriminate breeding illegal, support having one governing passport body and give more powers to the big welfare assos to effect change.

The UK missed a great opportunity when everyone recoiled at the plans to amalgamate all PIOs into one body.
 
I wouldn't say that the fact she has full feathers means she must be in all the time. Both mine have & they have only just started coming in for 12 hours at night in the last 2 weeks. I wouldn't want that comment to dievert attention away from her looking such a poor scrap. Such a "help me" look on her face.

Apologies, my only real experience with feathers is on our young cob and he always has bogburn. Hairies would not be my forte tbh!

My point was, the poor beast looks like she lives in a stable, but is still quite thin and pitiful looking, so someone makes the effort to keep her in but doesn't bother to feed her properly or anything.
 
Jeeeezuz that fat one looks photoshopped! I can hardle believe that's real.

So many poor sods on there... If I had my own land I'd be very tempted to go and bring one or two home... But then I don't want to encourage them to breed more ... Catch 22.
 
Good grief, I've never seen such a fat horse, that's disgraceful.

I'd love to take another one but just couldn't afford 2 livery fees.

Exactly what I thought, poor mare, wish i had some land to rescue a few of these, but as said you think catch 22 if they keep breeding from these poor horses. There are clearly far too many being bred and not enough homes, you can just see that by the price some of them are going for, very sad. Wish I could help this poor little mare bless her
 
I hate dragon driving, I always fall in love with some of the rescue cases on there but I refuse to buy from them as I know it would just fuel the fire so to speak :(
