OK here we go. Your views

I'm sorry but if you work for a rescue.....you should be grateful that people ask questions when they see a horse in this condition!!!! :mad: We have seen cases where people do not realise how poor their horse is and if it weren't for people jumping to conclusions, the horses would remain that way.

All it would have taken is a short explanation. FGS, would you prefer us to walk past a field with a horse in seriously bad condition and think 'there is probably a good explanation so I'll just leave it'.
 
Can i just make it clear this horse is nothing to do with intelligent worming. Comments such as that could be damageing for the company. It was a seperate question.

I havent a problem with that, and I'm not bothered if you are silver Florin or a friend - there just appears to be some confusion over it.

I just cant understand why you are popping threads all over the joint deliberately getting posters to jump to conclusions, when it would be far nicer just to give a quick answer about that horse/pony/donkey/mule/camel rather then playing guessing games.
 
If this is some sort of silly game please ignore the PM I sent you offering help. Im not here to be mucked about and there are horses out there who genuinely warrant my time.
 
Bound to make people suspicious when one minute you ARE Silver Florin, the next you are a FRIEND of Silver Florin and you start contraversial antagonistic posts all over the place that are obviously designed to wind us all up with no understandable explanation!!

I dont know what all this is about.

What i think about the state of the horse-
1) its old and has been fed inappropriately.
2) neglected
3) seriously ill

I shouldnt think its grass sickness because i would expect it to be dead if it were but that is a slight posibility.

The growth rings on the feet suggest starvation to me, if not long term then certainly periods of it. This is either intentional or as said, inappropriate feeding that the horse cant chew or digest.

The sore on the withers from rugs also suggests neglect- its quite big although not raw. There are ways to prevent this, which havnt been done.

Whatever the cause i really hope that the horse is under close veteinary supervision and its lucky to be alive. I hope that its state is not man made but i strongly suspect it is.
 
Go and play your sillygame of "I know something you don't and I will have power over you all, by smugly withholding" somewhere else.
 
My question is, why is the horse living in an outside yard with straw? How are you going to keep that bed dry when it rains?

Very strange post, as others have said on here. Perhaps you can tell us the story then??
 
Having read the other thread (re: worming) I don't feel that any of the posts were inappropriate. People were asking what had happened with the horse. (Yet when someone did ask, you posted something about them jumping to conclusions and that if they had asked you would have told them. This is clearly untrue as they DID ask)

Surely you can see why people assumed the problem related to worms? You started a thread about the worming programmes then those pictures appear at the bottom (you have since said that they were due to you playing round with your signature but, as noted, people did not realise this) People were merely expressing their concern and wanting to help- as indicated by some very kind people offering to help.

When someone did ask about the horse, you also became very defensive. Most people would, at this point offer some explanation instead of opening, ANOTHER pointless post. To be honest, I hope this horse isn't yours as, based on these two topics, you seem to be a bit odd and lacking in maturity. (NOTE (as you seem the type of person to wilfully misunderstand) You may be the nicest, kindest, most dedicated horse owner ever, I am merely stating the opinion I have formed based on these two topics. I will be willing to admit I am wrong about this if that is the case!)
 
Well as you didnt see fit to ANSWER any of the questions on the other thread i'll ask again
Is the horse old?
Have bad teeth?
Have a terribly neglectful owner perhaps?
Whether it was caused by you or someone else, the end result is the same. That horse needs to see a vet, and a dentist....in that order.
Cr*p like that does not happen overnight, it takes many months unless there has been a serious underlying medical issue which could possibly cause it.
Either way you are being less than honest yourself. You could have answered the questions asked on the other thread.
And as has been pointed out before, unless you have a split personality, you have already admitted on another post you are indeed Silver Florin. You may have a problem with your short/long term memory, but please do not assume we all suffer from it too!
 
I haven't read all the replies, but I would hazard a guess that this is something to do with red worms? The worms lie dormant and can attack at a later date and no amount of worming will save this animal. And worm counts don't show them.

We had a horse with this on a yard I worked on, he was given all the treatment money could buy, but sadly died. No amount of food (and he was getting bucketfuls) made a difference. His worm counts showed clear, but after his death it showed a different story.

Worm counts show bog all...... never in my life have I seen an animal go through what that horse did. And all down to incorrect worming at some point in his short life. The vets, experts, everyone was baffled until after he died and he was cut open.

If it is what I think it is then I suspect this horse won't recover.

OP is just trying to be antagonistic and troll-y.

Let's keep the forum a place where everyone is comfortable and friendly, and not filled with arguments.

And OP? Adding a :) after everything doesn't make what you're saying less provocative.

instead of wasting your time playing silly games on here, use your time in getting the poor thing sorted out!!!
 
Wow, everyone is harsh today! The pony is seriously thin, looks like it has been severely neglected. Needs a Vet to see it, needs some decent nutrition. Don't know if it's old- its tail looks like it might just be a baby. Sad to see but it looks like it has just been rescued as it has a bucket of feed, clean straw and just been brushed. Hope it gets better soon. :(
 
i did think that this forum was a place to talk about horses and seek advice if needed, in the past few days there seems to be more biatching going on than the worse livery i know of whats going on??? i personally think people should ignore this and any other thread of its nature as it gets overheated and personal. come on guys lets just all be friendly
 
The problems here are

- that these pictures have been posted which are going to shock any horse lover.
- that the OP has decided to play a riddle/game with us
- possibly to slag off a welfare organisation or a member here
- that people are biting ?

Although I hope to god that the horse is ok, I will slam this thread in the troll drawer, as the suspense is NOT killing me.... I have an idea what it's about. I will also flame the original post.

Well I dont know what is going on, but Ifindthose photos shocking. I am concerned that a pony looking in that state can be part of any trollism, I want to know that something has been done about this poor animal.
 
Bizarre posting strategy, horrifying pics, what is she on is all I can say? I am not being bitchy but why do what she has done this way? It is upsetting for people to see those pics...I certainly did not expect to open this thread and see them, I have not even read OP in regards to worming :confused::mad:

Not the way to start trying to become involved with a forum. Off on wrong foot springs to mind. Stupid games to prove what? I guess the fact I have posted she is winning, hmm note taken on that thought, I am off to go read something forum worthy from decent forum members ;-)
 
I know this is a forum and although we know eachother by user name we don't all know each other off here ( I know some do) but when there is a thread like this (and the cob one) where are the moderators or is this a free for all?? Sorry bit peeved there seems to be a few stirring threads recently. I came on here for advice and horse chat not a bitch fight!
