not good, thanks for the warning.

 

[Pidgeon]

No not good at all, will keep posted if I hear anymore

 

[martlin]

Oh, dear, do you know who's horses they were? PM me if you prefer...

 

[kiteman0]

im not far from there
ill keep my eyes open
thanks

 

[Pidgeon]

Martlin, sorry don't know whose they are as only heard tonight, only just got in as been at a dressage comp, from a friend on facebook and Staffs Horsewatch. Will hopefully find out more tomorrow if I can
Sounds rather worrying and a bit dodgy so hoping the police can get to the bottom of this and deal with the person responsible. Poor poor horses

 

[martlin]

You got me really worried... as the bay in my sig is in Wolseley Bridge...

 

[Pidgeon]

 

[Pidgeon]

If I were you I would contact Staffs Horsewatch and ask for more info based on the fact your bay is in the immediate area to see how much risk he's in. As the two horses were owned by the same person it may be person related rather than horse but either way I'd want to know more info

 

[narkymare]

poor horses, poor owners - what is wrong with people?????????????

 

[Pidgeon]

no idea I have no idea what makes some people do these sort of things, seriously seriously sad situation, feel so sorry for the poor horses and the owner must be absolutely distraught

 

[martlin]

Unfortunately, Pidgeon, I don't think I have the right to know as I don't own her any more It would just be good to know if she is OK Hoping it's not the person I sold her to

 

[Pidgeon]

Oh poo Can you contact her tomorrow to check she is ok? If I hear anything tomorrow I'll post as soon as I hear x

 

[martlin]

I think I'll have to text her... It's going to be awkward though

 

[Pidgeon]

any news?

 

[martlin]

Nope, can't get hold of her

 

[Pidgeon]

 

[Pidgeon]

bump

 

[martlin]

I still have no news... left the girl a message but no answer.

 

[Pidgeon]

friend drove past there this morning and saw a chestnut in the field with 3 people round it. Not sure if its one of the two Staffs Horsewatch reported or whether this is another one, I really hope its not number 3

 

[martlin]

that sounds rather horrible, doesn't it?
What kind of person do you have to be to do such things

 

[Pidgeon]

makes me feel sick if I'm honest
Can't imagine what sort of people hurt innocent animals, sick sick sick ********
