im very shocked to see such pictures of horses in this state and glad that its getting looked into
but i really think we have to be careful because we dont now all facts we only going by what weve heard and seen so correct me if im wrong but if this turns out to be completly wrong and are accusing such people of such things and touching private property ourselfs and horse and hound are open to legal matters ???
good luck to all those involve and hope it gets resolved soon !!!! and healing vibes to ponys

I'm getting proper sick feeling until I know that these poor animals will be moved away - and hope that they will travel ok too.....if they do get moved....fingers crossed!!

Thanks for all the UPDATES.....i'm not able to look at anything else at mo til I know whats happening with them....

The problem is if everyone had not gone in 'all guns blazing' nothing would be done to help these horses. In the condition that they are in THEY HAVE DAYS LEFT, not weeks, months or years.

They need help now before it's to late. If that chestnut goes down he will not get back up as he will not have the strength to do so, he would have died slowly and painfully all alone.

Hopefully now help is on the way it is not to late to save them or at least put them out of the misery they are so obviously suffering.

Without making noise that WOULD NOT have happened!

Agree, just shows that when people pull together on a forum, what a difference it can make to the life of two ponies, either by being re-homed and cared or being PTS, at least they won't be found dead in a field by someone one day.
 
I have a feeling that, if Horse and Hound were in any danger of prosecution, this thread would have been pulled by Admin ages ago.

I truly hope that these poor horses can be helped. I am amazed and delighted by the goodwill and energy created by an internet forum!

Being an oldie, I do err on the side of caution, though. And I wonder if involving the media without knowing any of the background facts is such a good idea. And I speak as one who did just that a few years ago, with the best of intentions but without knowing all the facts.

I hope everything turns out well in all respects

poor horses and well done to everyone for doing there bit esp andy. i hope a rescue plan is undertaken soon and they throw the book at the owners. theses horses didn't end up like this overnight and if they are old they still need proper care. so even if we don't know they full story you would need to be blind not to know these animals where not getting the proper care

Agreed! I mean, I think that contacted WHW, BHS etc. is a good idea, but perhaps the media shouldn't have been involved until we were certain of the facts, I'm pretty certain that this is neglect but obviously I don't know for sure

That's great that they agree something needs to be done and that they've turned up so quickly! I just hope the RSPCA gets there soon and does something.
