Oh you have got to be kidding me!

Will these people sell them to you just so you can get them out of that situation?

How can the people sleep at night when they know their horses look like that?

hawk · 05-06-2008, 01:56 AM

They will not sell them we have tried. The Spca says they will not do anything and that everything is fine

cowgirlspurs · 05-06-2008, 06:40 AM

I hate to say it...but try again in about 2 months-by July there will be no "pasture" left and the horses will not be faring all that well in the heat and lack of good food. Watch for the condition of their feet, coats etc and docuent everything.
Being on spring grass the SPCA is likely thinking they will regain what they have lost.
It's amazing how they have been given more power and have actually retreated from doing more because of it.
You could try contacting rescues in your area (I know of a few) who may have more of a voice than you do.

the 1st pic is of a 32 year old she will not make it till june. Also the 2nd pic is of a 2 year old QH and you wouldnt know it cause he growth has been stund. The 3rd is of a 6 year old TB and she is werst then she looks in the pics cause of her winter coat. This horse will not last. There is also 6 more horses, these are only the girls. We did want to go on the property to get pics of the boys. If i can get listings of some of them rescues that would be great to see if they can help. These horses are in Brampton

I know it is distressing-but I think the mentality is well the grass is here now so they "should" be ok and put weight back on. Which is why I said by July they will be back down in weight again if the pasture is simply small enclosed areas.

The problem is there is not enough pasture for all now most of the padock is mud and small pactches of grass. Also the padock that they are in is only about 1/4a for 4 horses there is judt not enough. Also for water he only gives them a 10 gallon bucket a day for the 4 of them.

cowgirlspurs · 05-07-2008, 06:04 AM

I think you will find that Cannington gets some results-she's great.
Keep us updated to the situation-thanks.

Send me a private message and I can give you some more info.

hawk · 05-07-2008, 06:04 PM

hawk · 05-07-2008, 08:11 PM

Please don't give up, I'm sure it's frustrating, this may be a thought...go to your local news. Tell them your story, it's not fair that you are trying so HARD and no one is willing to lend a hand!! But when it get broadcasted over the news or in the paper people all of a sudden feel a need to respond!
Give it a try!
