Update on Gamble the Dumped Foal

Rather than rush it struggle get wrong pics and links will leave pic posting til tomorrow where I can use a computer and not complicated IPhone.
 
Well done OP really well done! Might it be worth donations to national foaling bank? Just thinking that way we can repay their help in your rescue?
 
Just wanted to add my good wishes to you all, Gamble, the Old Mare, OP and her friend :) What a lucky lad he is. I also think that the National Foaling Bank is a brilliant idea for the donations.
 
Have just been reading lots of threads in breeding and the foaling bank are mentioned a lot and seemed to of saved many and helped in many awful situations.
It is entirely up to anyone who wants to donate what you do. So many charities do amazing work every penny helps in some way.
 
What a wonderful idea to donate to National Foaling Bank Does anyone have details where to send donations is there a charity account so they can benefit from tax added donations?

Oh that's great. Time is of the essence given the age of the foal so well done you for getting out there and putting foal on it asap.

Another product I've used is called Ipaligo Foal and made by Equistro, readily available in most on-line animal pharmacies :)

They're very impressive aren't they? I've never used them on my foals as I've been lucky enough to have straight foals (touch wood!) but I have advised others to try and some of the recoveries I've seen when friends have used it is absolutely remarkable. They do work, generally it's better had the foal been on something like this earlier in life but they're still worth a shot now. Looking at the standing photo, I don't think foalies leg is that bad tbh and I think nutrients and help from the farrier could help enormously with this foal.

Small caveat - not that I am suggesting you don't send donations, but National Foaling Bank is a business not a charity. Under anything but emergency conditions Miss Vardon charges handsomely for her services. So you won't find a Just Giving page, or be able to get tax rebates - there was a website, but it seems to have gone, she does have a FB page though so you can ask how to donate on there (for a couple of years I rented a flat at the stud, so I do know how it works).
I also totally agree with cobrambler about people offering financial help - it is brilliant that people want to help, but it does muddy the waters about future ownership and decisions about this chaps future. There was one on another forum and it led to all sorts of recriminations.
And no-one has given a thought to his mum - poor mare, lost her foal with no understanding of where he has gone :( Everything is crossed for a good useful future for Gambler

The people who dumped him came along the footpath between the neighbours. Cut a hole through the hedge, dismantled the post and rail and shoved him through. He obviously made towards the other horses which were in the adjacent field.

Interesting to hear the lengths they went to, which shows in no uncertain terms he was dumped. Very glad they managed to dump him near people (and mare) who really care. Feel so teary reading his story unfold!
 
OP has already apologised for incorrect photos, she uploaded the wrong images as she had been researching contracted tendons and saved images that were similar to Gamble's condition. When tired, she uploaded the wrong ones by mistake.

A quick PM wouldn't harm, just trying to make yourself out to be the big HHO detective and say "I was the first to say it was a hoax!!!" Not big, or clever.

Let's just imagine how that would pan out. Hey OP I think you might be misleading the good people of HHO. Are you sure you rescued a iddle biddle foalio?

Why yes dear fellow HHOer I did indeedy doody rescue an iddle biddle foalio.

Yup that's cleared up any confusion hasn't it?
 
Easy enough for anyone who wants to know if its fairy tales.
The foaling bank won't be rushed off its feet this time of year. Did they offer assistance with this case or not.
 
It has highlighted what appears to be less of a discrepancy and more of a deliberate attempt to dupe people with not one accidentally posted photo but two, and one conveniently cropped. No doubt if the OP is genuine they will satisfactorily explain the errors and we can all have tea and cakes.
