Hi Just got back Not had chance to read all the up dates but heres what little thing I did for them today.
Armed with the photos I printed off from the earlier thread I went to Burghley and well pore lads and lass on the BHS, H&H & WHW stands nearly showed me what they had had for breakfast!! All wonderful and very helpful lass on H& H stand put call through to her contact with stables WHW officer (Taff) who came flying up looked at the photos and got on his phone also asked me to phone in. The ladies at the BHS were so shocked and were straight on the phone. Handed out to every press guy that walked passed me the photos. To say most were very shocked might be an understatement!! Do hope I will read in a minute that somethings have moved on.
 
yay they have moved the horses to a safe place

Erinite- Well done you!

I think you will read that they are in safety now!

I cant belive the power that everyone has had on here to save these two mites. They will be warm tonite and well loved because of everyones wonderful help!
 
I wasnt able to view the pics earlier as still at work but just looked at the link and its dredfull the bloody RSPCA should have done something!
what you did and how others helped you is so kind and touching. incidents like this just show that there are still kind hearted ppl in the world
 
Well done everyone!!! Good on the BHS, that's why I'm a member and have been for years!!!

Perhaps, just a suggestion, in light of this, more people would want to join the BHS, a truly great organisation!!!
 
Well done you. Your positive action reminds of me that saying along the lines of: All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. I hope you have a nice warm feeling - you done good!
 
well done to you for sorting this out! you did an amazing thing, so glad those poor horses will have some good food/warmth/fuss tonight

bless them, this forum is great - just that post on this forum may have saved the lives of those poor horses xx
 
i went and took photos and vids of the horses, then went on to Burghley.
the girls manning the Oakham vets stand (neither of them vets, vet who was already supposed to turn up there between 12.30 and 1 did not turn up) were not helpful, one assured me that a horse could be fine and a month later look like the chestnut (i showed her the photos.) she told me to call the practice and discuss it with them, but i can't help thinking that if i do, they will say that i have nothing to do with the case, and refuse to answer questions. they said that they do not have a vet there called Tim, which is who i was told had seen the horse a month ago.
i tried to find RSPCA stand but couldn't, a police lady there told us where it was but we couldn't find it (spent about 30 mins looking.) it wasn't in the programme either, perhaps they just had a few officers there checking dogs in cars etc, didn't see them anyway.

i showed the pics to the girls on the Blue Cross stand, 1 of whom said she had experience of rescue horses, and she said it was a Condition Score Zero (as bad as it gets) they were horrified.
spoke to a friend in the Press tent and showed her, she was also shocked by the pics. I am about to email the photos to her at her request, and she will pass them on to the Daily Mail journo when s/he turns up (prob on Saturday.) i'll email them to Daily Mail photodesk etc too.
further suggestions welcome.
the horses were surprisingly bright, even the chestnut. I was amazed. I was shocked to the core at how bad he was, totally emaciated, but he was quite bright in himself, which i didn't expect.
according to someone there, the horses have been in that field for years, and were reported years ago. if they were checked then, no ongoing check ups were done, certainly.
i have never seen a horse that thin still upright. i pray to god i will never see another case as bad as that. sincerely hope he'll pull through, bless him. great to hear that he's safe elsewhere now, tucked up in a stable, munching a bit of hay.
