I'm not registered on FB so may be viewing the FB page differently to everyone who is registered but is there any way you can get the picture of the chestnut onto the front page, it is more shocking then the Palomino which I think will encourage more people to look.
 
This threads amazing. Really hope that the horses get help tomorrow. Im happy to offer a donation to whichever rescue organisation finally manages to sort this mess out, cant offer much else as im so far away. Congrats on all the posters that are highlighting this at Burghley tomorrow.
I look forward to an update

Well done Andy for doing something about those poor horses, owners should be taken to court! Hope RSPCA pull thier fingers out, something needs to be done like yesterday!!!!
 
Guys,

Only word of warning.

Lets not make this to public tonight, you never know who knows the owners and might be on facebook....
Wouldnt want you all to arrive in the morning and find the poor animals have been moved somewhere.

Maybe we should wait until everyone has arrived tomorrow.

p.s - FB - facebook. god I really am a thicko..lol
 
Have joined the Fb group, I am Burghley Fri, Sat and Sun if I can do anything from there. I have a 3 horse lorry and could get them stabling etc, if charities etc are full.

Just been reading up on the RSPCA.....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/animals/overview/latest.shtml

I particularly like this bit....

'Jackie Ballard, the RSPCA director general, said: "The new welfare offence will for the first time protect thousands of animals from enduring serious ongoing neglect each year, by legally obliging owners to care for them properly, something the RSPCA has been campaigning on for many, many years."

She added: "Every single day RSPCA inspectors have to watch in frustration and sadness as the neglect of numerous animals at risk turns into suffering. The Animal Welfare Bill would mean we could act before that suffering actually happens." '

So Jackie, JUST HOW MUCH DO THESE TWO HORSES HAVE TO SUFFER BEFORE YOU CAN ACT ON IT??????

Hmmm, Jackie Ballard used to be our MP and the less said about her the better

In Scotland so too far to help. Well done Andy on doing what you can for these poor ponies, you have come to the right place to get some action. Good luck all who can do something to help tomorrow. I really hope that the wee chestnut survives all this.
 
The RSPCA state that every animal has the RIGHT to 5 freedoms.
Two of those are to have freedom from hunger, and freedom from pain.
Thats two of the five those horses do not have.
Just to infuriate you further, a few years back the RSPCA caused outrage when they spent 4 MILLION on revamping their headquarters whilst many of their rehoming centres were struggling to keep kennel blocks from crumbling around their ears

OMG - these are awful. I have worked with the RSPCA and the police in removing cruelty cases and none of mine were as bad as this!!!!

Today is the 3rd. The post was dated the 2nd. What happened today? I am so, so sorry I did not see this yesterday as I used to work for one of the worlds biggest equine charities and my ex boss has often (but not always - depends on area) has access to the home numbers for world horse welfare and RSPCA officers for the area. As we are a mjor charity they will always attend ASAP for us as professional curtesy as they often need our help.

I am going to contact my ex boss. She WILL get something done - I can guarantee it. I just hope she is not away on business or something and doesn't get the message until later in the day.

Sadly the RSPCA do need to be involved to make it easier to get the horses removed. I am disgusted that they were not removed before. The RSPCA will go along with whatever the vet in attendance says and this is what is shocking me most.
 
Hollycat. Join the Fb group or PM Bankendrescue. I think alot of fuss is going to made about this tomorrow (today). The post was posted yesterday evening (seeing as we're just past midnight)
 
Hollycat,

Its tomorrow morning everyone is going down, at 10am, although some are checking them at 8am, as I`m sure Andy will.

Some press are also going so hopefully something will get done.
