This is about an extreme and isolated case. Please read the OP properly before humiliating yourself with a response that has little to do with the thread. Thank you.

I don't suppose for one minute it's an extreme or isolated case TBH,many people have commented on how rife the ragwort is this year.Perhaps it's more that most people don't tend to make such a big fuss about it when they see it as you are??

Don't worry I don't feel at all humiliated:),although am a little confused as to how my post wasn't to do with the thread??

Just an observation but you don't appear to be able to cope well with others questioning your judgement,with that in mind starting a thread such as this on a public forum might not have been the way to go.....................................................................
 
I am fascinated now, was skewby on holiday before this thread was started because she is now, same as dandelion

so are you saying that if you see ragwort in your field you would leave it? Im afraid to say that people do worry about and there are also owners that do not give a toss. On the way to my yard there is a field with 6 horses and also a mother and foal and the field is absolutely riddled with it. So no not all owners give a crap, but most of us do give a crap about ragwort. If ragwort is got rid of at the start and kept up it will not return as much if people keep on top of it from the start and actually do it properly.

It sounds like there is. It also sounds like he or she's been given the H&H okay to keep their horses in ragwort infested fields because this person saves horses :confused:

Not ok in my book! :mad: anyone know who it is? :confused:

There is a girl who keeps horses near me and is on her own. She got overwhelmed with the amount of ragwort she had. I got fed up with hearing horsey people slagging her off so rounded up a few friends and we spent a day clearing her fields in exchange for coffee and cake and a big thank you. Not that hard to help if you are able to.

awww has the dandelion been pulled up by it's roots like an annoying weed:D

spring feather and happy horses, no one has said it's ok to have ragwort, people started off giving advice on who to report it to, dandelion didn't want to reveal her own identity or who she was accusing so what more could people do:confused:

Absolutely not,I don't get a lot of rag simply due to type of land and how it's grazed etc,but any I do get is pulled and disposed of as soon as it's seen.

I don't approve or condone keeping horses in fields rife with ragwort,but it's not my place to presume I know all the circumstances of anyone that does and judge them,and it's also not my business to tell them how to manage their horses.

If I had fears for the well being of the animals concerned I would report it to the appropriate organisation.
I understand your point about not so caring owners,I just don't think a thread like this is the best way to determine or address that.
 
oh and whoever it was who accused me of copying and pasting a million pages ago, of course i copied and pasted i was being sarcastic and annoyed, do you really think i could be bothered to write pages of text for a load of up their own arses i know it all , and can't be told cretins?

But I was brought up with good manners and of course would never actually say that to anyone, just smile and say you are welcome :-) XX

I do apologise for any rudeness, i spoke before i thunked!
 
please do not label all - for 4 years i have on my own rag worted every year( field with 16 and plenty grass so mmmm not sure how big but mmmm)now im limitedafter 8 weeks on back on morphine and now back weak - at started of season i pulled 12 barrows of young florrets now me and daughter ( she does not have horse on yard) are pulling as we can but given big yard lots of children with ponies in field and patronising comments i try but why?????? do they understand what it does - im trying but failing to keep on top and my heart breaks as walk across field and no moving is not an option but wish was - so please some of us understand and try but fail :(
