:-( Thor the rescue horse

[buffy2]

Hi all , can any one remember the t.b Thor that was rescured ? Well the woman who had him , and rescues horses , yesterday they have had to be rescued again for the awfull condition they are in :-( some have now been pts and the rest removed , sorry can't do a link to face book

 

[Tiddlypom]

Oh no. Do you mean that the lady who rescued him has neglected him and others?

 

[ozpoz]

I just saw this on Facebook - 7 shot, although good homes were apparently waiting. RSPCA what are you doing?!!

I don't know where it is, but so desperately sad and unnecessary - the pictures of the ones I saw looked as though they could recover. I had to walk away from my computer. Surely it is time for the RSPCA to stand down from horse welfare - they are a disgrace.

 

[buffy2]

Sorry , yes the lady that took him on and is a so called rescue centre , is being investigated by the rspca, for neglect , apparently hot is safe and is at her home address , i really wish I could do a link , sorry x

 

[buffy2]

Ozpoz , can you do links , I've tried , but it ain't working

 

[ozpoz]

Try this - it is where the link on my facebook feed led.

You might have to copy and paste. Where is this place buffy2?

 

[TheOldTrout]

I got a 'broken link or page removed' when I clicked on that link.

 

[ozpoz]

It is still working for me? and there are comments on the Team Thor page too.

Try this one https://www.facebook.com/paulaa.jones.5?fref=mentions

Does anyone know where this is?

 

[touchstone]

I wonder if the link has been removed in case of potential prosecutions being affected.

Hopefully any remaining horses will be well looked after; I wish that all 'rescues' had to face regular inspections; far too many supposedly rescue horses end up in a worse predicament when they deserve so much better.

Edited:- Link is working for me, but I'm disgusted that the remaining horses are left in the care of someone who allowed them to get in that state in the first place.

 

[buffy2]

Thank you , link works , I think it's Worcestershire area

 

[TheOldTrout]

Second link worked for me too. Poor horses.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Poor horses.

What's the involvement of the RSPCA in this, am trying to make sense of the comments. Were they being kept at one of the premises that the RSPCA use for 'private boarding' (aka livery) of some of their rescue cases?

The last time Thor was given to a 'good home' wasn't it with the person who he has now being confiscated from. Poor horse. There's far too many being bred.

 

[Kaylum]

Why arent the RSPCA checking up on the horses they have rescued?

God knows. Mabey they don't have the resources or mabey the person Thor was rehomed to sold him to this person. Mabey the home was suitable at the time but things changed.

Not good is it we check on all our rescues in fact we always own them.

Saddened, sickened and heartbroken, after receiving a message yesterday asking if I know Annette NallyTeam Thor ?, well yes of course I do we helped with Thor in the beginning , we helped fund raise , Annette was with us at the Bridgnorth Horse Rescue she's one of the good guys right. ????
Wrong !! To be greeted by the following when we got to her yard was utterly heartbreaking, these horses were starving no food , water or Hay standing and eating their own poo her excuse they all have liver damage !!!!!!
These are not new rescues , what rescue centre leaves dead horses in a barn with its friends , starving to death , mares and foals so weak they need to be shot , stables up to your knees in muck , we all tried when annette arrived last night she asked the Rspca Who we were ??? , I had just spoken to her on the phone and have over two years of messages on my phone plus pictures at the show of us together but yet she claimed not to know me !!!
We were thrown of her yard on her instructions , RSPCA have said at the moment she is being allowed to keep the remaining horses , Thornton was not at this yard and is believed to be at her home address which allegedly they are visiting today .i can only apologise to everyone of us that believed in this woman, the RSPCA better handle this correctly as it will not go away , well done to Paula PJ Jones and Charlotte Edwards for finding them and providing them with emergency food and water ThAnkyou Phil Price and Julie Smith and beyond heartbreaking that we weren't allowed to try and save you

 

[Follysmum]

Disgusting. Anyone that has caused abuse like this should have an immediate ban for life and be handed a jail sentence.

Same with the organisation that my horse was born in. Up until last year they only fostered their horses. They allow transfer of ownership now in an effort to get riding schools to take on suitable horses. Don't know how it will work out, hopefully well.

When I got my horse I got him through the man who originally fostered him. Because he didn't own him the centre was able to check out the new home before anything was decided. The rescue where my horse was born was an equine only centre aswell, so they would be more knowledgeable than a general rescue organisation.

My horse's dam had been brought to them in foal with him. She had some injury that led to her death a few months later. She also had a condition that led to her producing antibodies against the foal so the poor thing nearly died and had to be bottle fed. It was strange because he has good breeding on his sire's side and it was before the recession so horse's like his mum weren't being abandoned back then. Anyway, I'm proud of him. He's turned into a superstar

Perhaps the RSPCA has bitten off more than it can chew? Things like this won't help their reputation, or public trust in them.

It has been mentioned that she works for the RSPCA, which is maybe why they weren't checking. The photos posted by the person who transported them to this hell hole shows they were in pretty good nick on arrival.

Feel for the guy of the recycled racehorses team (they do falconry) who recently had their loan terminated and returned the horse I hope he can get him back.

What a mess all around. Humans can be so horrible at times.

 

[Goldenstar]

Poor poor horses .
I hope there’s better times ahead for them .

I am also so angry I had to turn the post off.
If you are "in" with RSPCA you can get away with murder, literally of an animal. And why horses where put down, again by a private "knackerman" and not an RSPCA vet, or any vet for that matter god knows. Probably hiding evidence against the prosecuation... bet there is no prosecuation as this women was 'popular' with them.
Such a corrupt organisation at the moment it boggles the mind.

Are they really that bad? I'm not in the UK but noticed they seem controversial on hho.

 

[dominobrown]

Mule- I really really do hope I am wrong but they seem to have had a few controversial cases where the horses are taken to private yards, knackermen, taken away without evidence been taken... there was that whole dodgy thing with the arab breeder a couple of years ago (rspca lied in court saying horse where alive but they actually got them put down by private knackerman on another random yard etc etc). I have lost all faith in them, beaeing in mind they don't tend to bother coming to this county at all 😞

 

[ozpoz]

There was a team of knowledge volunteers on site who brought this horror to light and a sensible plan would have been to let these people, who had already stepped in to help and raised the alarm, continue to feed and water the horses until they could be assessed as not on the point of dying from lack of care.
I am boiling mad that this could happen twice, and my first thought was that the RSPCA can't cope with anything other than little ponies - if it has a bit of blood, i.e. arab or TB then they shoot it because they don't have the expertise.

Do you mean the horses weren't on the point of dying when the RSPCA was first notified?

That's awful

 

[dominobrown]

I think rspca had been notified a few times....
Ozpoz... I think you are right. If they are putting horses down there needs to be reasons which are made public... i.e bad broken leg, too weak etc and the decision made by a vet, with phtos and videos illustrating the reason why.

 

[Tiddlypom]

The RSPCA IMHO can't be expected to publically justify every equine PTS. They are inundated with reports of equine suffering and can only take in a few, so some animals which could have been saved have to be PTS as there's no room to take them in. They have just 3 specialist equine rescue centres in England, in Shropshire, Surrey and in Co Durham. They also have a network of 'private boarding' yards who take in some of the excess, and it sounds like this yard was one of those.

I'm not defending them willy nilly, they certainly don't get everything right but they do have some really good knowlegable equine staff such as the ones at their Shropshire equine centre, who I've fostered from in the past.

The RSPCA MUST rigorously investigate and treat these horses as a matter of utmost urgency. If they have been using a rogue private boarding facility, then they need to come clean and make steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
