Update on Gamble the Dumped Foal

This.
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.

not big or clever to play on peoples emotions with a poorly foal story either, not the first time it's happened here and i'm sure it won't be the last. Didn't take me 2 minutes to find the picture via google and it's not even of a foal with contracted tendons so rather odd for the op to have found it in their search for info on the condition don't you think.
 
I gathered that the pictures are only examples of what the foal's deformity looks like so that people could see and advise and not pictures of the actual foal because the OP does not want him to be recognised by the person who dumped him.

I hope that this is the case.
 
Yes I read it as pictures the OP had saved as comparison stories.

If this is real, I really admire you and your friend OP, and I'm very pleased that Gamble has ended up with you both.
 
No signal all day so just got the update. oh my the eyes are a bit watery. just amazing news. Truell amazing. You 2 ladies have given a wee lad some hope and that tender care needed. There are no words to describe how what you have done makes me feel. Come on Gamble keep that twinkle going in your eye because even my unhorsey work collegues are rooting for you(texting them later :)) . I will be making a donation to WHW in not on Gambles name but in respect to you 2 wonderful ladies x x x

OP said to me that the pictures she'd sent me by PM before she posted them on this thread, were not of the foal, but comparable to how his legs looked. I assumed she'd found the photos on the net just as a comparison for me to give her my opinion.
 
I'll reserve judgement, there might be many reasons why OP hasn't been on. Could also be that they don't need to feel that they have to defend themselves.

ETA: and if it is a hoax, I still don't feel foolish for feeling hope and joy and even love towards someone who would care for such a sad, little creature (real or not - how are we to know)?

I think if you re read the whole thread OP said she was only posting pics of his legs not the whole foal. That's HIS legs not comparable leg.
People also commented that they expected coloured hairy type but pics of his legs indicated a finer horse. OP agreed, suggesting the trotter type of travellers horse.
When the first query was raised re calf hoof she hurriedly explained she'd posted by mistake a research pic, not saying yes it was an example pic.

Come on guys, its a lovely story but its as plain as the nose on your face its a con.
She was totally plausible until the silly girl (?) posted those pics.

It's either some one desperate for recognition and praise, in which case its very sad that they felt the need to concoct this
Or
It's some sick idiot enjoying getting everyone in a whirl over an imaginary foal.

At least there was no financial scam but some members were champing at the bit to send money even though none was asked for.
Wise to remember lots of this forum is odd people's make believe.
 
Very true spring feather but if it is a hoax its sad as next time s genuine person comes on a figger of doubt will be there. if it is a hoax of course . i truelly hope not
 
To who ever chose to go to such lengths to find that "cropped" photo - do you really not have anything better to do?? If it's a hoax, what harm was she doing in posting this story? She clearly wasn't after any donations of any kind! Tell you what it brightend up my day true or not until I read your post!
 
I feel a little 'dim'! Been looking at the 'calf leg' for a while, thinking it seemed so familiar for whatever reason, but actually couldn't put my finger on why! Now I know, Aberdeen Angus!! Got several fields full of them right here, and yes, even had several born this year with contracted tendons!
Oh well, onwards...

Giggles:D
 
It is surprising the OP has the time to concoct such an elaborate story. Especially as looking back through the OPs other topics and threads she has 4 shire horses, a maxi cob, appears to have moved yards on various occasions and is expecting a baby. Wonder woman, I could do with some of her energy.

Really? You're annoyed at the person that revealed this as a hoax (if it is), rather than the person that actually posted the hoax?!!:D

Yeah, nobody got hurt, nobody was allowed to make donations, if anything, it may make people think before sending off money (as in to check things out) and it was a nice story! Can't see how it makes any odds whether it was true or not.
 
I feel like an idiot! I can't see why any of you support her - it was attention seeking in a massive and twisted way. Sad puppy she is. Bet she is having a laugh though.

Absolutely, always shoot the messenger!

Look on the bright side, there's one less poorly foal with contracted tendons out there to worry about! That's a good thing, right? For those feeling cheated of a feel good story, Mills & Boon? Enid Blyton? Your choice is endless.
