I posted the before and after of Connie the other day (if you didn't see and want to just ask, i don't wanna annoy people by posting it again lol) and it got me thinking.

Why would anyone abandon such a lovely horse for 2 years in a field and just not be bothered with her? Even if they didn't want her, how hard would it be to give her to someone/find her a new home?

She's a pure bred hackney carriage horse and as they are considered a pretty rare breed, she would be worth a fair bit of money in her day. If she had been younger, we would have given her to the Hackney Carriage Horse Society to breed from. She's a right sweetheart, she might be a bit difficult but with time, patience and a bit of love she's turned into such a darling.

I just don't understand, but i don't think i ever will. Working at Mossburn i've seen plenty things i'd rather not have seen and helped bring a lot of animals out of a place they'd rather not be too.

This post doens't really have a point lol, just typing what i'm thinking, feel free to add comments or thoughts

I am also confused by this situation.

A few years ago some people rented the field next to ours, it was late in the season. They put a mobile field shelter in, put two really nice horses in the field and more or less abandoned them. Combined value in good condition was probably £3 to 4K and they just left them to starve in a field where the grass had stopped growing. In the end we reported the owner to the RSPCA (who reacted very quickly) and one of the local residents (who does not like horse) paid a farmer to deliver bales of haylidge to the field.

Why do people insist on keeping horses they don't want? I REALLY don't understand.
 
Sorry most horses idea of heaven would be being 'abandoned' in a field..................assuming they had enough to eat and water etc...
