A neighbour phoned our YO to say that a horse was laying down in the field after it had rained !!!!! Ordered her to get the horse up and in a dry stable b4 she reported her to the rspca. You couldnt make it up........
 
I used to drive passed Donklets field everyday, and ride passed most days, her horses are very well loved and cared for!
What a silly woman R
crazy.gif

She needs to go to specsavers

I too shall report you to the RSPCA as they are clearly starved and in need of a good meal
wink.gif

I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life, I cannot believe she has rung up claiming that your horses are under weight what a utter numpty!
Oh actually after reading Tillythreeshoes's story I think that has you beaten on the ridiculous scale
grin.gif
Made me laugh quite a lot. It really is amazing what people consider 'cruelty' and how quick they jump on the phone to the RSPCA. Mental.
 
they are in perfect condition and their owner should be very proud of them and herself. The person who reported them to the RSPCA should be fined for time wasting and declaring false.Whoever did so is out to cause trouble and deserves a 'virtual' slap around the face
mad.gif
What a waste of space this person must be!
Do we know who is responsible for this cowardly act?
 
Donklet I must admit I do love my heavy horses. My shire is 19 years old so he gets spoilt rotten and well looked after. My french chunk is great and have just backed him. I also have a 2 year old comtois mare. She is either in foal or is just starting to be a chunk. Vet has just said wait and see.
 
How ridiculous

As you say, obviously someone out to cause trouble.

They both look well prepared to cope with the winter to me

Shire x Dartmoor?

The mind boggles - where there is a will there's a way I suppose

We do indeed

You should have seen the chestnt when he came a few months ago - he's losing the weight slowly.

I hope the woman who 'reported' you gets a phonecall from the RSPCA to tell her to go to bl**dy Specsavers!!
mad.gif

TBH they both look on the chunky side to me (spesh the chestnut) but in my defence I've got a LW TB and everything looks massive in comparison!:o

They're both very purrdy

God help me then if anyone saw my boy, who did not know how much per month I spend on his feed ( touching £100), still looks a bit ribby, and top of hind quarters a little prominent.

They look absolutly fine to me, sill person who reported you
 
I had to laugh when I opened this, expecting to see malnourished animals!

I think they look great. I know you say the chestnut is a strong draft breed anyway so looks a bit more chunky, but I couldn't see how you could report them for being overweight either. The whole thing is ridiculous.

the rspca should take a course in horse care and mangement as there are horses out there that really need help yet they seem to ignore them and go and play up to known timewasters ,this ppople have nothing else to do but cause trouble for normal horse owners , i think the 2 horses look well consideing the bad weather we have had the last month
 
you can post them both to me - I'll give them a good feed! ;-)

ha ha - some one needs to report whoever reported them! they look completely content and very happy - I wish people would worry about something that needs worrying about...

gah!
 
A few years ago I kept my NF mare in a field with a public footpath running thruogh it and thus was reported repeatedly....

1) My horse had a rug on in the summer - that would be her Bott blanket

2) She had got her feet stuck in some rubbish and it hadn't been taken off - rubber over reach boots

3) She was in the field blinfolded - fly mask

Arrrgh, some people! Your horses look perfect for going in to winter x
 
there's someone like that in my area who left notes and stuff and kept bringing it hard feed! the hoss was on his own and a bit cold but nothing major bad. made us nextdoor look pretty bad really.

what's interesting though is the shire/dartoor think lol how did that happen!
 
I read this wrong and thought you were reporting them, you were called a few names after looking at the photos (sorry!), perhaps they stand at the fence looking starving, mine would tell everyone they could that they are underfed. On a serious note, it is a worry when people who don't know anything about it see them standing on bare fields (talking about ours here) and are not around to see the bales of hay you put out several times a day. Have to admit I do worry that ours will be reported although all but the tb are on the heavy side if anything.

Yours are lovely and will drop any excess weight over winter, that is how nature made them.

This is not the RSPCA's fault. They have to investigate reports, they have no way of knowing that their time has been wasted (again!) until they get there.
 
How ridiculous!

.. but seeing as you are clearly incapable of looking after horses properly, I would like to take the shire x off your hands... just my type!! ... please????

Absolutely no blame on the RSPCA here. They haven't as far as we know, even looked at them yet. Hopefully they have learnt to ignore this crazy woman.
grin.gif
 
Some people are ridiculous.

I know of a woman who reported a horse on her yard as starved ... the vet had been out the day before to take blood to find out why it was dropping weight despite being pumped full of feed
