Oh wow, 36 ! Send the photo to yourself on messenger, then you can upload it here. No idea why ?
I know Shy is fine, and that Carla will keep in touch with me. Pepsi and I are enjoying our daily walks. Hes been a star through all this!

Has anyone got a way of contacting Shysmum? She was last on the forum in 2022.
A lady in France with a similar description to the lady who was able to take Shy has died and her 11 gypsy cobs will be being rehomed (several with COPD), The charity has posted info there :https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064323117014.

Munchkins Miniature Shetland rescue have Pepsi now, she’s usually in the comments on FB but you could contact munchkins, I’m sure they’ll pass on a message to her. x

I’ve just tagged Munchkins and asked them if they can flag up the FB post to her. Xx

Can anyone tell her in person? If it's the right place, and the first thing she sees is that Facebook entry with the starved horse, with Shy in none of the pictures, and the news that one was PTS last week because of the state it was in, she's going to crack up.

I’ve just found her on FB, I’ve sent a message to her. Time is potentially at the essence, hopefully Shy isn’t one of them.Can anyone tell her in person?

Absolutely horrified to read this. What on earth can she do? Bringing him home wasn't an option. Fingers crossed he isn't involved.

I don't think he was starved, he has bad COPD and he is the only thin one. He is now on meds but they say "will be PTS if no solution is found".Can anyone tell her in person?

They were being fed hay on top of the pasture they were on.
ETA: I think the thin one looks like Shy from the markings.

I'm sorry but for whatever the reason, that horse was starving (not digesting enough to stay alive)
and is skeletal.

I don’t think the thin horse is Shy, I was looking at the markings on photos on Shysmums FB page, to me he actually looks like the center picture of the montage of 9 horses and looks ok, I really hope I’m not wrong. x

Thank you Maxidoodle.
People are already offering homes for rehoming them so I don't think that will be a problem but I think the more history they can get on the horses the better (and particularly vet history).
ETA : yes, definitely not the thin one as looking closer the little white horn on his blaze above the left eye is higher up.

How desperately sad for all concerned. Nothing is ever guaranteed is it.

The trouble is not one hat fits all. They can lose weight through a variety of reasons can't they, COPD, abscesses, being bullied and running around, being thoroughly stressed, having major issues that make them uncomfortable, etc. The others aren't thin, so I guess its just him.

Shysmum's email was in this post looking for British livery. There's a near side view of Shy in this post of a clip, that looks like none (?) of the horses in that composite picture.

No it's not and I guess she did her best although I did question it at the time due to the significant issues the horse was suffering from. I know what its like stuck between a rock and a hard place and its absolutely debilitating mentally.
