I must have missed that update. I'm still not sure I believe them either.

Then rhe supplier must be making more money out of them than normal. Those bales are also £35 here and small bales are between £5 and £6 so hay definitely isn’t cheap here.

Looks like the Marley situation maybe under control. Old owner has seen him, and has vet going to the horse tomorrow to assess his fitness to be moved. Fingers crossed it doesn’t go pear shaped.

Jeez poor Marley. That's heartbreaking.
I do understand the horses are rescues and won't be in perfect condition, but there is a very poor looking foal on their latest set of photos. Someone has commented on its odd stance and said a vet needs to look at it, only to be told they're recovering from trauma and getting all the care they need. Might be true but I keep coming back to look at its photos - poor lad (lass?) looks very sorry for itself indeed. A little bit of stalking shows (s)he didn't look anywhere near as camped under a month ago...

Are the Rspca involved in this? This so called rescue seems to have a lot of supporters but if that photo of Marley shows a horse that's been in their care for a while then something's very wrong.
Looks like they have overstretched yourselves.

Yes, they've issues a section 9 (might have remembered the number wrong!)

They have removed the pics of Marley, but I downloaded them, so I have them on my puter.

She's holding back until he is fit to be moved.....that's how bad he is.

That was me. I kept saying will somebody please look at this foal? This is their latest batch of foals. The answer was he's been vet checked. I don't believe them....there is something wrong with that little one, and if he has to fight for his food, he's not going to make it. How they can't see that, I don't know.

Ah I see. Good for you - there is definitely something not right with him at all & he looks like he's just lost the will. Can't see him anymore - not sure if I've been blocked or they've taken it down. Poor boy. I'd love to "step up and offer a home" as they keep asking complainers to do, but firstly, I REALLY don't want to encourage further rescuing; no one seems to know which foals are available and the people in charge of organising that keep passing the role on, which says a lot; and finally he's a massive vet bill waiting to happen - I'm not experienced enough to be the one trying to get legs at those angles to come right! There's something more than simple cow hocks going on there; I think there's a lot of pain somewhere else sadly.

Btw, this is another batch of foals. On top of the ones they already have. NLPM the foal you (and I) are concerned about have only been there for a few days. 
The say all vet checked and then say they're feral, so I personally don't think a vet has done a thorough examination of this new lot.

We must be talking about different foals then (dear Lord!) as when I went back through their photos to see whether the recent photos were actually an improvement, there were pictures of this little black one from very early October (as in 2nd, 3rd, something like that), so he must have been there over 6 weeks.

Unless my eyesight is FAR worse than I thought, this thread was started in MAY. So RSPCA must have known about it for quite a while and have been doing not very much!!

Something seems to have happened. Both groups have been archived and theres a few posts on various groups saying the same. But you never know with facebook

As far as I can tell it’s all Kicked off because of the photo of the horse Marley and also the landowner where some of the horse are begging for help and the RSPCA have gone in. I also read she’s been prohibited from moving any but was caught doing just that.
Sandra is apparently ‘not well’ and has now gone awol 🙄

There was a post yesterday that horses were being removed, not verified and from which site was not mentioned.

I read on both the truth page and the real page last night that the RSPCA were in with the authorities and a vet and actively working on removal from all sites. I also read on the 'real' page a strong hint that what was going on was not only about the horses but related to the use of donated money...
time will tell. I am no fan of the RSPCA, but am grateful that someone is there doing something for these boys and girls.

Unconfirmed reports of animal welfare on site removing horses right now.

Yup, as far as I know all horses are now either removed or being removed. This doesnt bode well for their futures sadly I hope all those donaters and supporters take a long hard look at themselves and are a damn sight more careful in future. This is a situation that didnt need to happen.

Wonder how long it takes before H&H reports this as it is relevant to the Equine world. I hope she gets prosecuted as this is as bad as Spindles Farm.
