Sorry nasicus, yes I do remember that too, it threw up some queries about money already raised for gelding iirc. There’s just too many pages going on really!

The foals are being rehomed for £250. That comes from Sandra herself. Just seen you have shared the link already nasicus. I remember the figure as it is very high compared to the market value of £0 for these foals. And theres 44 isnt there? So thats £11000. Nice little earner when all its cost is buckets of slop. The microchips etc have all been paid for by donations.

she paid £50 for them iirc though so you can take that off

It's certainly one long, winding, twisty, turny tale, and we all know it's going to end up in tears. It's just a matter of when and how, and it's saddening that when it does happen, it'll be the horses who lose out.

Am I imagining it, but the WW saga did end in tears, didn’t it?

Saw the picture of Marley and saw today that the land lady from the Gowerton yard is requesting someone from the willows goes to the yard immediately. Seems she's been left with the care of all the horses on the land for the last 10 days.

I just has a look and couldn't see the picture of Marley? Has it been removed? Was it that bad?
I also say the land owners post she didn't sound too happy!

It's still on there, was posted about 24hrs ago so you'll have to scroll down a bit.I just has a look and couldn't see the picture of Marley? Has it been removed? Was it that bad?

Apparently the RSPCA visited and WWS is now under a section 9. I wonder what the poster who was defending them has to say now?

Can’t see any of the posts you’re talking about, as there’s simply too much stuff on there to work out which ones you’re referring to. Sounds like it’s all kicked off again though.

I vaguely saw a post about a horse called Marley and he looks dreadful. Is he at WW? I’ve sort of lost track if I’m honest, I’ve no idea what’s going on there now.

Apparently October. There’s another photo of him last year looking well. The owner signed him over some time ago. The story goes that he ended up there because of one of the volunteers but when she left they wouldn’t let her take him.

I know Marley. He used to be kept on the same yard as me. His owner wanted to go travelling and tried to sell him but with no luck. So he went to a sanctuary with the promise that he would either be rehomed as a happy hacker or retired. Absolutely gutted to see him like this, he was 19 when he left our yard in 2018, he has a BS record and was a really beautiful horse. I've been told that his previous owners parents had been trying to see him but were unable to (idk why) and are now trying furiously to get him back. So sad, his previous owners adored him but as the daughter went travelling, her parents couldn't cope and thought he was going to the best place.

Still can’t find the post on their fab page. But has there been any response to why he’s so poor?

Am currently watching the situation - 'rescuing' foals from the fallen stock man, putting horses all over the shop then can't move them when told too, poor foal care (the dummy foal). IMO she's just a hoarder but this is now looking like it is going to blow up bigger than Spindles Farm and it's going on in the full glare of social media with the huns and haters. It is so sad.

After a desperate post this morning it is apparently all sweetness and light back at the Gowerton yard after volounteers and the owner turned up.

It's not on their FB page, it's on the 'truth' page (link here - you need to request to join). No response from WWS that I've seen.

I do t get this mentality ... it’s a f***ed up way of
Looking at things I’d rather my horse was shot that went through all of that to be ‘saved’ from a charity that has more money than sense... they need locking up

The problem is the idiots donating money dont see it like that. Its life at all costs. Then they just ignore the fact that the place is an utter tip, horses are sick, adequate food and care isnt being provided etc, etc. She has horses hidden all over on rented land. Shes being asked to leave a lot of locations and has no where to put them.
So she is desperately trying to foster all the horses out for the winter, but people who are capable of taking them, dont trust her so wont take them. So people step up as they see a free horse, being delivered for free. I saw a comment yesterday where someone was being called out by a friend who said that she couldnt afford to do it. WWS ignored this and are still happy to deliver her a horse.
Its just a money making scam. They are asking people to pay them £60 to buy a bale of hay. They arent paying £60 for that hay. The same size and weight of hay costs me £35 in a much more expensive part of the world. So wheres the extra going? Its not going on the horses.
The whole thing sickens me.

TBF the supplier (next door) did confirm that was the price - and that he delivers it to the fields I think too. We've had 8 feet longs before in the £40s I think but we are prime haymaking country.
