update on neglect

[jhoward]

hi all, ive had a few pms asking about pluto, so thought id do an update, hes fab. hes back to a good weight. and hes character is back. and thoose awful rug rubs have finally gone.
it is going through the rspca as a neglect case. its taking so long as my vet and the inspector kept missing each other, and the vet needed my permission to talk to the rspca.

theres some pics here... http://janineshorses.blogspot.com
i started the blog as a suttle way of directing people to the pics and story, as i could post private details on a forum.

I have just looked at your blog - how did you not kill them on the spot???

i think i was in shock, and so devastated when i went to see him, then when we went to get him, it took 2 hours to get him in the trailer, ive since discovered he doesnt want to go in stables either, so soomething else may of happened. who knows

Which are the pics o fhim come back?
I can't see any that look terrible..My 3/4 tb poor doer often looks similar/worse over winter..

the pics of him are the very bottom ones. the fuzzy one was taken in a pic the night we went to see him the rest a few days later. the picture of me on him, is the day he left. 10 weeks he was away.

i dont think the photos show how bad he was, as he has terrible mucsel wastage, it was so bad on the quarters, he was almost staggering... like one back leg in front of the other.

and the rug rubs he had were so bad, they covered hes shoulders and chest, no hair and burning to touch.

He's looking gorgeous now, though - you must be so relieved!

What a beautiful boy. A real dream horse type.

i wasnt saying that this morning after a complete palvour to get him in a stable.....

unfortunatley he will be sold once hes muscelled up. hes the perfect teenagers horse.
but yes hes the sort that is a joy to have about, husband was bouncing on a trampoline thats in the field the other night, pluto was like what the hell.... and kept coming and hiding behind me! poor boy when i first got him back actually shied away from a brush..... and this is a horse that will sit down if you hit the right spot when scratching his bum!
