PMP are you posting on that fb thread?

There're people on the way from Telford but not sure how far away they are.

yes i am - my name is Sarah :)

I am really disappointed in myself for not going over but i am actually agoraphobic so it isnt easy for me to make spontaneous travel. I offered the use of my trailer but i think they are sorted now, i hope anyway.

Ah ok :)
Don't worry about it, I think everything is getting a bit confused!

OMG RSPCA have left him!!
 
but if the owner has handed him owner surely that must be to the RSPCA? So I doubt joe blogs public will just be able to take him as the group on fb seems to be thinking?
Surely the RSPCA will be wanting to take him somewhere?

Wonder where the poor mite's mother is?

Handed over to police I think they're meaning.
The actual owner is in hospital but has said to just take the horse.

There's a lot of people there now apparently and it's all a bit confusing!

Yes...but will they actually DO anything? :rolleyes:

Well... There are apparently police there now... And it's turning into something that may well make the news... And maybe some comprehension of public knowledge via social networking is sinking in...

*climbs off cynic box*
 
People should be there within the hour, hopefully police and RSPCA will be helpful!

Apparently the RSPCA man left once he'd spoken to the family member and wound him up so he was angry, left the 2 ladies there with the angry man and then came back when the police showed up!
 
OMG I cant stand this waiting - i hope they pick him up soon.

I could have been there with my trailer 45 minutes ago but i cant get over my anxiety to get out and help, i am actually disappointed and ashamed of myself, i'm letting down everything i stand for. I could literally cry right now, i can never find my inner strength when i actually need it.

I wont be able to go to bed tonight until i know he is safe :(
 
Help is definately on the way, the telford group left 15 mins ago but due to the ammount of snow we had which has now frozen they are having to take it slower than normal. The lady fetching him does have knowledge in rearing rescue foals, and does have a mare in milk if he needs it. A group of us have donated rugs etc and what ever else he may need, I just hope the RSPCA dont mess it up and decide that maybe that want to help this foal afterall due to bad publicity for them because they have already antagonised the owner once then left the scene for the ladies to deal with.
All being well the foal with be in a nice warm stable and all his needs met by the end of the night :)

Aww Sarah don't beat yourself up, he is getting help now and it isn't your fault!
I can't imagine a scene with police and everything being the best thing for you to go to :)
 
Paint me Proud - please dont make yourself feel guilty. We all help in our own way and just knowing that someone cares is a very big thing ((((()))).

See my previous reply PMP... Honestly, don't beat yourself up for not doing something that may have had negative implications for your own health or safety... x

thanks :o one day i hope i will be able to help something like this. I have climbed over frozen lakes to rescue geese, clambered through gorse, bramble and bog for 3 hours to rescue a kitten, rescued a goat of a main road, reunited 2 losts dogs with their owners, rescued another kitten only 6 weeks old, jumped in a river to save a puppy who got swept away. When i think about it actually i shoudnt be too ashamed of myself :o

Sarah, I wouldn't have fancied driving myself into that situation either, so don't feel bad. A team is what's needed, and it looks like a team are on their way. I'll keep an eye on this too, I'm not too far away, I don't have horse transport but could lend a hand if needed.
