I suspect tomorrow when the RSPCA realise the press are involved they will come along to rescue these ponies just so they can become the 'Hero's.'

The real Hero's are all members of this forum, Andy, Slinky, BER and MANY more; People who will act for no other reason then being a true Animal Lover that will go above and beyond to ensure the best outcome for these ponies.

I do not have a positive thing to say about the RSPCA, they are Bl00dy useless and hopefully tomorrow they will be named and shamed!
 
Well I think THIS time the RSPCA should be answerable to people and give a full explanation of their actions in this case and the only way to get that is through the publicity tomorrow!
 
are we going to have a FB group on the matter? get a bit of support from outside HHo and really pile the pressure on this so called 'charity' that don't have animal welfare at heart?

I would but i don't know how

I did post a link on FB to this page so that should have made a good few more people aware

I think a FB page would be good.
 
Haven't read all of this thread.

I've seen the post giving the horses' location.

What is due to behappening at 10am tomorrow?

I'm near Huntingdon so attendance is possible if someone can tell me what is happening.

Sorry if sounding a bit vague, normally in bed by now.
 
Sadly I am not going to be able to make it tomorrow

I just can't get out of a meeting in the morning.

I have PM'd BankEndRescue but just want to say my offer remains and will remain until these horses are safe, that I have a spare stable available.

Please PLEASE keep us updated on the outcome from the mornings gathering.

I must get off to bed else I will never get up in the morning, not that I imagine getting much sleep thinking of these poor horses out in this hammering rain

Can you post a link to the FB page when it's done and I'll join. I'm off to bed now so I'm in a fit state for the kids in the morning.

Good luck to everyone involved, good work and fingers crossed that they find the stregnth to hold on a bit longer.

Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to everybody here for all advice, help and action. Its amazing that this post has had over 4000 views in about 4 hours - that in itself is a lot of publicity. And to think I very nearlly didnt register here, because it seemed a bit silly when we had already contacted the RSPCA.

To the unititiated, the RSPCA is first point of call in issues like this - and I would automatically have though that the one phone call to them would have been sufficient.

Well done everybody. There is a really good community here.

All the thanks goes to you Andy, you are the one that has acted to create all this and I hope you get all the credit and not the RSPCA if they act tomorrow morning and take the ponies away.

I hope the press get the point across that these ponies have already been visited but obviously not monitored and that they will have taken nearly a day to act (thats if they turn up in the morning) in such an extreme case.
 
Anyone who is on facebook, update your status with a link to this thread saying that whilst the most prestigious event in the horse calendar is happening in Stamford, this is what is also hidden in the town!!! The more people that know, the better!
 
Well done Andy on posting this and looking out for these horses. Poor poor things.. Fingers crossed that they get rescued tomorrow. Well done to all on HHOers getting involved and taking action. Hope to hear a positive update tomorrow.
 
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??????
