Urgent...gloucestershire members!!!

I have only just seen this thread, words fail me. I am so, so sorry that you, Dan and the horses are going through this. I hope Fly has a comfortable night and I am thinking of you all.

GG my heart goes out to you, I'm so so sorry to hear the outcome :( I can't believe someone is tampering with your fencing and I can't begin to imagine how much extra stress it's putting on you right now :(

Is Dan able to be with you tomorrow? xXx
 
I'm so, so sorry to read this, at least she's not in pain.

I can't imagine how it would feel to be in your situation, and to on top of that have to deal with some unknown idiot tampering with your fences. Unbelievable.

I wish so much that I could offer something more than cyber ((((((Hugs)))))) and sympathy.
 
I hope fly has a peaceful night. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow, and hope it all goes as well as possible. Words fail me on the fencing, what do people think they are doing!?!
 
Just a thought, although not hugely helpful, could the fencing be taken down by a nosey neighbour not liking the look of it? Or something along those lines.

I got everything crossed for you and fly xxx
 
People never fail to amaze me! What sort of person would take down someones fence? I hope you get to the bottom of that one - that would make me really uneasy :( Will be thinking of you tomorrow - I hope all goes well.
 
She has a bright blue vetwrap over layers of white bandadging from stifle to hoof...you cannot miss that she has a significant injury. There is some history...things started going downhill on Thursday with a message that the farmer that keeps the cattle is being awkward about the horses but I don't want to believe anyone would be so cruel. The severity of damage could easily have happened as a secondary thing because she has moved on it too much...unsurprising with about 18 acres to roam when fence down. Fly doesn't break out of fences and can't jump!

What worries me most, makes me feel sick actually, is that a dog walker/someone thinking the horses needed more space etc would surely have just taken the fence down. Why go to the trouble of unscrewing the energizer? We are honestly feeling like we are being messed about with and to think that Fly is suffering because of it is unbearable. We rented a house with a fabulous landlord who had given us full access to everything. The farmer that grazes cattle agreed to the horses coming and chose the fields. There are tyre prints going up through the field and all sorts.

I am lost for words. I really don't want to think people can be so cruel, but I know from experience with my old mare that they can be. What's worse is Fly was so settled...I can't get it out of my mind that someone tampering has spooked her and caused a nasty fall and caused this fate.

I want to take her in my arms, magic it all better and just hug her for eternity. All she is doing is wanting cuddles (quite usual) but also being even more affectionate and watching Dan say goodbye to her earlier broke me. He can't be with me tomorrow, but I am hoping my dad can come. No idea how I will manage the little one until I can find somewhere for her, but if I have to walk her around to the bungalow and keep her there for a bit, I will.

To top it all off, there are now cattle in both of the access fields. We have had to call landlord back to ask if one of the fields can be clear tomorrow for us to walk through. The herd with the one that trampled me I don't trust at all...they ran at the hedgeline at us earlier and we both almost just buckled with fear. The other field has 4 new, what look like decent sized bullocks in it. They were ok when I walked through giving them a very wide berth, but it looks like we will have to dope Fly up and walk her down through the field to say goodbye as there is no easy way to arrange collection otherwise. I am hoping and praying the farmer will help and not hinder us tomorrow.

I am not a sorry or woe is me person normally but this week, I have almost reached my limit. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. It really is a comfort and thanks to all that have offered any kind of help, practical or otherwise. You are all beautiful.

I'll post sometime tomorrow.

xx
