OK here we go. Your views

toffee, no mods which IMO is one of the good things about hho.

a search through OPs previous threads might help a few people out and I suspect that they are trying to discredit a welfare organisation.

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?

Yes you are right.

i've done a quick search of the user name(s - hada previous one too) - seemingly a rescue center - which would explain it all...

Maybe explains the horse but doesnt explain the deliberately cagey and provocative posts. Not really sure what OP has to gain by this? She maybe wants to draw attention to something but all shes doing is alienating members and making them think shes strange. Cant see how this will help the poor horse:confused::(

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

You seem to be writing this as if we are all a bunch a busybodies telling people what to do - but based on these pictures no-one can force that advice upon you as they don't actually know the history of the horse, it's age, illness etc..... I'm somewhat confused.:confused:

Instead of putting up a thread DELIBERATELY to cause people to start an argument/debate why not put up the pictures with a simple explanation of why the horse looks this way and a view of how you are treating it.

IMO that would have been a far more mature & reasonable way to deal with this.

Yes, people jump to conclusions, but if you give them the full story then the conclusions are less likely to be wrong.

Unless of course you are attention seeking - then, yes using a horse to do this is a bit sick, and pointless.
 
What an odd thread! I am intrigued to find out the full story. The horse clearly has problems, which could be down to any number of things either from illness or neglect. The impression I get is that this is not a sudden deterioration but something which has happened over a long period of time. I would hope the horse is now under the care of an Equine vet and farrier and being fed and cared for with a view to restoring the horse to health or if there is an underlying condition causing this body condition that the horses welfare is in the forefront of the current owners mind and that it will not be allowed to suffer.
 
This thread is making my brain bleed......

Seriously though, I really hope the poor animal in question has either been put to sleep or has received care and is on its way back to full health.

If presented with photographs like this I would want to know what the background of the animal was, do a worm count and then have appropriate worming done, have bloods taken to check for other issues, get teeth looked at and if needed have work done on them, start the animal on hay, hay and more hay, and introduce a mineral block and over time slowly introduce some easily digestable pellets in small amounts and often.

Or I would put the poor thing out of its misery asap.

I would like to know the real story behind the horse, but if the OP is going to be cagey about it, like I said - I just HOPE that the horse has either been put down or helped.
 
I don't really see the point of this OP.

A number of people responded to your thread about intelligent worming and they addressed the issue directly. Then your siggie appeared which showed a severely emaciated horse - in a horse lovers forum it's fairly normal that people would be shocked and asked about this poor horse. If you had explained the photos then that would have been the end of it (I imagine a number of people would have offered advice and help if you had needed it). Instead the photos as being used to generate discussion - why? What is the point of this?

If you have rescued this animal, good on you!!!! Please post more pics of his/her progress, I am sure we would all like to see the improvement. If you need advice/help looking after this animal do ask, there are many knowledgeable people on here, many of them kind enough to offer their time so perhaps someone can come out and help you. If you are struggling to cope with this animal you need to talk to a rescue centre ASAP or consider PTS.
 
OP why come on here to play pointless mind games!! talking in riddles! Bloody stupid and pointless. Horse is painfully thin, needs help. end of. Grow up or piss off.

ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should have explained properly what this was about. Foolish, damn foolish!!!!
 
I saw you other post and yes some did jump to conclusions.

Unless they were posted on that thread, they were in your siggy so there was no reason to jump to conclusion, she had no reason to explain to us on a Worming thread about her horse.

All I see is someone trying to bring this starved horse back to health, "follow my progress" aka watch me become healthy again.
 
Perhaps the OP should have explained that! Mind games just get peoples backs up! saying i'm not coming back till tues! pointless. Maybe my saying P*** off was a bit harsh and i apologise for that(to op) but it makes me angry that people come on here to mess with peoples heads, when a horse is clearly starving, teloing the story of whats going on and why et would have gained far much more respect.
 
This is a truly nasty and conveluted post to stir us all up. We are allhorse lovers and to see the pictures on her sig are upsetting to all of us. What point is this OP trying to make? Is she going to drag this out until tuesday?To what point FGS
 
'Tis Tuesday. I see OP popped back in on Friday but I don't think we have any good explanation of whether she is Silver_Florin or a friend of Silver_Florin's - she has claimed to be both - or how the horse got to be in this state.

So OP, without my jumping to conclusions, what IS the situation?

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 ?

Yes it was a rescue.
 
chestercharlie said:
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 was not saying what the weight loss was. It was 3 yrs old.
Good meal was actually wrong at that time but if you were saying it in the sense of its weight and not actually giving it a good meal, i see your point and agree.

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.

No not trying to cause a furore. People wished toair their views so i gave a place for them to do it. I was away until today, couldn't be avoided.
 
rosiefronfelen said:
all i can say and see, is starvation and therefore neglect, whatever other reasons, there could be a myriad!! horrific pics. anyway- sorry!
Click to expand...

Correct on both, starvation and neglect.
I will apologise for the horrific pics. I did not mean to shock.
I see so much of this helping SF in her work i suppose i have got used to it, but never get used to the neglect or anger.

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:
Click to expand...

There is a worming relevence or lack of. No relevence to intelligent worming.
 
and the necessecity of you not saying all of this when you originally pit the post up? I am sorry, I just dont get it!
