Spill all what you have to say, what you know:rolleyes: and what you think you know.;)
I will not be back until tuesday:p so i will let you know who is right.:eek:
Should be interesting!:D
 
Im a bit confused what are you asking? (sorry if Ive missed it completely!)
And wow your a 'yearling' ive never seen that before-only seen junior member and senior member :D
 
I'm not sure what you're asking us tbh.

The horse is clearly starved but without more details who knows how to respond. I would hazzard a guess its not your horse because I can't imagine anyone on here keeps their horse in such a way.

Have you rescued it ?
 
I asked about intelligent worming and received comments about this horse which i did not mentioned. I just opened up this for people to give their comments and then i will tell them the real story.:)
 
somewhat vague OP but are you saying weight loss is due to worm burden and mistreatment or does it have some underlying issue, health issue or is it ancient??

Either way, I'd say it could do with a good meal!!!!

My own opinion of intelligent worming? Dont believe in it...as far as herbal worming etc.

If you are talking chemical worming following worm counts then yes I subscribe to that.

:rolleyes:

I have not said a word about this horse. People were commenting so i opened it up for comments. Where have they all gone?
 
OP posting this and then stating that you will not be back until next Tuesday is ridiculous.

I can only assume that you are deliberately trying to cause a furore.

Pointless and juvenile.
 
not sure i can be bothered to guess, but I assumed it was one of the animal (s) found alive with the dead mare recently.
 
Ok here we go.....

I know - it's a really skinny pony.

I think I know - there must be some sort of worming/intelligent worming relevance?

My view - haven't got a clue cos I don't know what I am being asked to have a view on:confused:

I'll spill all what I have to say then;

Your grammer is bloomin awful!

And you haven't actually asked a meaningful question so there can be no right answer. So I'm thinking troll like behaviour!
 
I am asking for general comments.
When pics are seen such as this people make up their own minds and comment on the horse/pony what condition they think it is in, what it needs doing it, who needs to see it etc.
O.k. imagine i put up a photo and this pony was in the background. I am asking for the same comments that would be given.
Somebody has already said it needs a good meal, any expansion on that?
 
OK, so the poor animal is either starved and neglected, or terribly ill.

If lack of worming has reduced the pony to this level, I would say there's damage inside the gut.

I saw a grass sickness case once and the pony became quickly emaciated looking before it was put down (but I don't think cases of that generally happen this time of year).

So, what's the story?
 
I'm confused.

It is obvious to anybody, you don't need to be horsey, that it is painfully thin.

Are you asking us to tell you how to care for it?
 
I'm guessing (forgive me if I'm wrong) that this is some sort of snidey reference to your last post when people assumed, perhaps wrongly, that your worming questions were about this horse.

TBH, it would probably have been easier to simply explain what was wrong with the horse/the story rather than being so cryptic. At the end of the day....on a forum of horse lovers.....people are going to say something about a horse in that condition!
 
my first thought was needs feeding up gradually - possible teeth checking to ensure it can chew properly... possiblly bloods taken to find out why so thin if unknown - unless it's obvious neglect... maybe recovering from grass sickness... the sores on the withers suggests either ill fitting saddle or - and prob more probable imho - rug - goes with sore on rump too then... rescue case maybe?

i actually think i understand why you put this up = i figure you replied to a thread about intelligent worming - or maybe started a thread asking what people thought of it? and instead of getting constructive responses i figure you got asked about the piccies in your signature - so instead of taking the intelligent worming thread off topic you decided to post thses piccies so people could jump to conlusions about the horse on this thread instead of the original thread... am i right?
 
Firstly he/she needs urgent vet treatment, if it has not recieved any. Then correct me if i'm wrong. Moving to a field or livery yard. It looks to me by the picture it is kept in a back yard.
 
Since you havent bothered to ask a sensible question, its quite hard to give a sensible answer. I havent read the worming thread, so don't know what point you are trying to make but here are my initial thoughts.

The horse needs medical attention and a good meal

Why is it in this condition - assuming its a rescue, perhaps the RPSCA/WHW need to be involved in bringing a prosecution against the owner. I cant see any justification for EVER letting a horse get to that state. If its ill and losing weight and condition whatever you do, then do the decent thing and have the poor creature PTS in a dignified fashion.

So what point ARE you trying to make?
 
Perhaps it would have been easier for readers of the intelligent worming thread if OP had stated 'not to do with rescue case in sig' or something along those lines, rather than getting annoyed with people offering helpful advice/expressing their shock at unexplained photos of seriously skinny horse.

I would really appreciate an explanation of those photos before Tuesday though, as I'm sure other members would.
 
My view is a horse should never be allowed to get in that state, whether by worming (intelligent or not) neglect or letting health issues go on until the horse appears as the one in your photos.

Regardless of how it got there in the first place, it is (IMHO) unethical, cruel and not in the horses best interest to let it get in that state.

There is a case for questioning whether it would be more humane to have it PTS – if it is a case of neglect/starvation then intensive rehabilitation is hard enough, let alone if it has liver/kidney damage or any other underlying health issue.
 
tbf OP the reason I thought it was the horse involved in the worming thread is that when the pictures in your sig were huge I thought they were pictures posted not a sig.
 
OK. I've just read the intelligent worming thread, which I hadn't seen before. The OP doesn't answer everyone's questions about this horse's condition on that thread either, so I am perhaps assuming this person is trying to court controversy and wants to create a huge long running thread and will continue to wind us all up.

My initial thoughts are that the OP is very inexperienced and could do with some good advice, but by winding us all up, she isn't going to get the help she needs.

I will be blocking this OP. There is nothing more I can add that won't be said by everyone else and I get terribly upset seeing neglected horses.

Ester, you were a great help. This is not aimed at you at all.
I just find it interesting how people jump to conclusions and attack people before they know the story.
I do not wish in anyway to have this thought of in any way with intelligent worming. I was asking a genuine question.

I have read other things on here where people have attacked a member over a horse without knowing anything about it.
I will tell the story when i have peoples views on this, why its skinny, what should be done etc Some people seem to think they know more than they do.

This is not a wind up or attack on anyone, its just for people to air their views and thoughts as they have in the past on many other peoples horses.

I will then tell the story - without saying anyone is right or wrong, but it may make the odd person think before attacking.

I was playing around with signature in the worming one thats probably why the confusion as it ended up huge.

Some good advice was given which i am grateful for, i was just ignoring comments on the picture as i was not talking about that.

I am now late as i could not resist being nosey:D
 
ive breifly read the other post ,and can say i think alot of people have jumped to the wrong concluesion without asking full story which is why the poster has reply in this manor .
i do think this horse could possibly be a rescue case beause poster is or was from a small charity . i would say possibly the owners have releyed on Intelligent worming and as we know majority of time worm counts can not pick up some worms which can be left if we dont use the correct wormer obversly we worm with what we told to worm with . if not not to worm which could possibly be the reason for the horse being underweight
i might be totaly wrong
