QR.. Hey come on guys this isen't about having a slanging match this is about getting some help for these horses,i know emotions are running high but as horse lovers we should be pulling together not pulling clumps out of eachother.

The chestnut was described by the vet as 'the old boy'. It apparently has no teeth but the vet said its eating

.

I just hope that between us, we've made enough noise to get these chaps the help they need.

Personally, if the RSPCA don't arrive tomorrow I'm all for offering the owner a new home for the pair of them. I recon JM07 could strike a good deal with them. I'm sure plenty of us would add pennies to the pot...

It's legal and TBH the owner might be glad of £200 each to get them off their hands?

Who are the owners???????
 
i was also wondering if they had been poisoned by something which could be why they aren't putting weight on ifthey had had rat poison then they would be really thirsty

Andy
Thank you for all that you are trying to do for these horses. Stamford Mercury headline should read "while these horses have everything (photo's of Burghley Horse Trials) look what's just around the corner and no one from the RSPCA will do anything". I am going straight to the BHS stand tomorrow morning at Burghley and I shall find the RSPCA guys that are always around the car park making sure no one is leaving dogs in cars and they can't so anything for these horses is so wrong. Good luck and thanks again.
 
yes but we all know things can be taken differently than intended in print so I wouldn't worry about it, I don't think anyone meant anything badly.

The Stamford Mercury and The Rutland Times are both weekly papers - they come out on a Thursday so won't be until next weeks papers. Anyone know how to email link to Daily Mail etc or put a link to this in Latest News - journo's sometimes look in there especially as KP has just bought another horse - noramlly sniffing around to see if there is any comment.

me strike a deal, charlie?...well, yes, maybe BUT...£200 each?

that would be a joke, sorry.
£300 the lot is more like it..the chestnut, on the hook is less than 60 quid for pies..you get the picture, eh?
 
Ive emailed the "Stamford Mercury", "Visit stamford" (just for the hell of it), plus the BBC and ITV


Will keep trawling for other relevant news sites to contact.

Hopefully, some reportes might be reading this thread just now!

Why is it all sorts of "newbies" pop up every time there is a neglect thread?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its free country, I was here before but lost my details, so resigned up, I was told about this post about someone, them horses are in a awful state, why can't new members reply?

[/ QUOTE ]

I wasnt having a go, take a chill pill... it was just an observation!
I wondered if this thread had been mention on other forums prompting a influx of newbies......

Okay
cool.gif
 
Think emotions are just running high with people,BER good luck with whatever you have planned sorry cant be any immediate help but too far away and too many kids to be able to pop over.
Glad both BER and JM picked up on the thread as know from reading on here that they both do a great job and know what they are talking about.
Good luck everyone and will look on in the morning for an update
 
What an awful situation

And how amazing that an honest chap with no experience of horses has brought this to light (huge praise to you Andy for going to all this trouble) - but surely he's not the only one that walks that footpath?

I should imagine that the RSPCA already have the details of the owners if they saw them last month.

Maybe whoever is going to Burghley could print off these pictures tonight and take them with them to the RSPCA stand?

Good idea, is anyone going tomorow?

Bloody inspired!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Can I just ask, To many pages to read sorry but is there any chance these horses were rescued? hence why they are in this condition, If they have only been there a month?

It would seem that they were seen a month ago by the RSPCA and a vet - with no mention that they were recent rescues........ (from a post earlier)
