What if a note was left explaining that water and hay was brought down?
I have e-mailed WHW, Bransby, RSPCA Lincolnshire and BHS, maybe if more people did then action might be taken quicker?
Well done to everyone who is helping

I really hope these poor horses can be helped

Vetsbestfriend you could well be a lifesaver tonight! Is there any way you could meet up with _charlie_ , I think she has rugs that could be used!
 
I'm too far away to be of any practical help, but will happily donate towards any vets fees, petrol costs or whatever if it helps get these horses some help asap.

Is anyone in touch with Kerilli on FB or has her number??

There's a member called Royalpolo who is in my area, and someone called Jakesmydog (or something like that).

Have contacted Ovidius.

for kerilli I would post to see if someone has her contact in CR- best you do it rather than me as a 3rd party.
 
Can I sugges that we wait a coupkle of minutes to see what gonetofrance suggests is the best course of action? In our understandable desire to help we do not want to jepordise them by our actions - and ues rugs, hays and water may well do that if the charity/authorities concerned do not know where they have come from and as it is torrential rain here right now any notes or signs we leave will be gone in a few minutes least of all still there tomorrow.

I have PM'd Gonetofrance for advice.
 
Much as I applaud everyones concern at the shocking state of these animals please be VERY careful about intervention.

The MOST I would be doing now without the express permission of a vet would be allowing them to consume small and regular amounts of fresh water.

In cases of severe malnutrition any food going in has to be very carefully monitored or the body cannot cope and further problems arise very quickly.

Hopefully the chestnut will make it through till the morning and either Bransby or WHW will attend. Please, all you locals can you keep pestering and let us know what happens.

The biggest I have is a 4' rug. My others are at yard, tackroom is locked, and i don't have a key.
 
I have emailed Bransby with the photos as suggested. I have to go to work all day tomorrow, but my partner will be in all day, and she (Chloe) is more than willing to show anybody where they are, and offer any assistance. We live about 30 seconds walk from where these horses are.

If anybody can do anything tonight, then mores the better, but tomorrow morning looks more likely.
 
ok i have just rang the rspca helpline and she assueres me she will get someone out there but obviously cant say when.
She has put it as a high priority so fingers crossed.

The state of those poor horses should surely be criminal offence. Shame on the RSPCA - another job well done

Andy and everyone who is able to help, well done for taking action. I hope this has a happy outcome.....
 
I can do anything that is required, can't stand it when horses are neglected this way. Whoever does want to go or have my join them either tonight or tomorrow, drop me a PM and then I will give my mobile number. I am 15 mins away from Stamford from my house but my yard is 15 mins the other direction from the house so if I need to get supplies, then will obviously take me a bit longer.
 
Ring Equine Market Watch, if they are about they will answer 07870 860825
I know it's hard, but please don't hay and water the horses until you have got some advice. I think if you do that the RSPCA may not help. And as said above, as they are already involved other agencies may not go in. Although... I think Redwings would. Please try to get advice before doing anything.

forgot to say RSPCA wont touch animal if it has water and hay so mabey bucket and hold and hand full of hay at a time dont chuck bale in! or RSPCA will see it as horses being cared for
 
Sorry, havent read to the end of this post-

Just wondered if whoever spoke with the vet is able to see if the vet has the owners contact details if he went out to see them last month???

Well done Andy for spotting this and highlighting to people that can help. xx
 
Haven't read all through the posts, the pictures were enough! Have spoken to the relevant people regarding this and please be assured it is being dealt with by the RSPCA and other organisations......... Well done Andy for bringing this out into the public domain......
 
seriously with the chestnut horse in that state even if it had hay and water they would confiscate it surely?

Surely that is a case of veterinary care not being given when required? It is going to need incredibly careful management.

will be intrested to see what GTF says on this.

BER do you know?
 
I told them that you lot were all trying to sort hay and rugs out for them tonight as they were so bad and she didnt say anything, Ive told her its live now on this forum so really you would like to hope and think that they will do somthing, wouldnt look t good if they didnt now, would it.

I live about 5 miles away and will go up there tomorrow morning with hay - and am happy to be there all day in the hopes of a rescue turning up. As others have said we need to be careful about rushing in tonight. Yes its wet and miserable but it is still quite warm and no worse than it has been several times in the last week or so.

Andy - I have made a note of Chloe's number and will call her in the morning - thank you.
 
cant believe there is 2 horses like this on field with [erfectly good weight pony! do they walk buy 2 and just see gray makes me angry! if i was closer i would have them in my stable wrapped up chewing on hay !
