I am disgusted that they are not having a mare with an injury such as this vetted for travel.

Horse welfare my effing a***....... I am so angry for her.......
 
dont be angry. Just think of the 'kudos' being earned here

The well being of the horse is of the least importance

. Toni, where are you, dont you think its time to take a stance against this 'defamation' or do you secretly agree with us? Regards Mairi.
 
You put that far better then me.

BER and the others involved was all quick to jump and name everyone when this came to light and back one another.

Where are they now?????

I would just like to say this could be the most civil 7 page thread I have ever read on such a normally heated topic.

no reason why it should turn heated really, PS

the Horse Trust article has these sites bang to rights.

Just goes to show we can have a grown up debate, I too would love to hear Toni's reasons for abandoning the UK horses in favour of the Franch ones.

Would also love to know how the vet checks have been done so quickly for this mare to leave tomorrow

I'd like to know how she came across that very obvious injury to her ribs, but yet again our questions go un answered!

Thats hardly a surprise, as long as she dosent go to slaughter it will be party time at BER/ERR and yet another Franch dealer is laughing at the stupid Eeenglish
 
I know I feel so sorry for that mare if that is the state she is in and just can't understand why anyone would ever think its a good idea to ship her.

But I would like to thank JM for pointing out that there is at least movement on this issue which I think many of us feel quite strongly about.
 
Not taking anything away from the plight of this poor mare for a wee minute I would just like to say a big "WELL DONE" to those of you who have tirelessly worked on the franch import cause, it seems that this news is a small step for a big issue but nonetheless a big step in the right direction.

I have followed your progress with interest and have witnessed some of the **** that you all have had to put up with and applaud your efforts.

:-) well done

According to a thread on one of the rescue forums after she openly had changed side, she said something like that she had realised that a real horse lover most support all horse rescuing.

Then we have the allegations of the anti-Franch being a bunch of illegal activists etc, but I doubt that either is the whole reason behind her changing side. Personally I neither agree about the allegations or think it is as easy as saying that all that matters is that the number of saved horses increases, to me f.ex. the risk of spreading diseases does count.

Apparently this little mare is going to travel over tomorrow with the latest batch of 'rescues', how in the hell can they arrange a vet check in time, it looks like the Defra advice is going to be totally ignored - and they wonder why people are against them!

This mare is injured, and not fit to travel, as far as can be seen from the photos.

To bring her back to the UK is cruelty, not rescue........

Especially when she is going to a 'rescue' place that has confessed to not having enough money for adequate fencing and footcare for the horses in her charge already. (I have that info in a pm)

[/ QUOTE ]

Toni is not bringing her over here until she has had a full vet check, at least that is what she has requested as she is not happy to do so unless this happens.
Secondly it states quite clearly that the names of individual organisations are not to be named and thirdly she stated that she was fencing her field bit by bit.
Also she has not said she will breed from her, if she is fit to travel then she may come her and live out her days happily in a field doing what horses do.
Not all want a horse merely to ride or work. Some are happy if they are fit to travel to just give them what they need, tlc and a happy loving home to live out there days in.
The mare is only 11, if she is fit to travel and is painfree, has no illness why is this wrong. It is merely something else for you all to bang on about.
 
MC, you have internet access??? Or is it restricted hours.........?

Anyway, if this horse is being collected tomorrow, with the best will in the world there will not be time for a vet check......... maybe you need to read the sites before you come on here......

ETA........get your facts straight, the mare is in fact a 5yo

Of course I have internet access, why wouldnt I. Just because I am not infront of it 24/7 doesnt mean I dont!
Sorry she is 5, Sisko is 11, that was what I was thinking of!
Yes some of the sites are saying tomorrow, but Toni does not want her to come over til she has been checked fully.
