Attention All Horsey People!?
A little while ago I put a question on here about a horse going to the sales. I found someone who was willing to buy him and then sell him on to a loving home. Anyway, I am in ANOTHER similar situation. This horse is a 2 YEAR OLD FILLY. She is a Romanian Warmblood to make 15.2hh-16hh. She is priced at £950 and if she is not sold by 25th March then she will go on a lorry to Italy for Slaughter. She is a 2 YEAR OLD!!!!! She is located in France so there is a transport fee of £300 + VAT. Someone help?! I can’t let this filly go to slaughter! I’ve asked loads of people at my yard and none of them can afford another horse!!! Please Help!!! Give me some I deas as to what I can do!!!
So, £1295 all in?
Just think what nearly £1300 could do for ILPH / World Horse Welfare.
One horse’s individual story is touching but what about the bigger picture? This will carry on happening. The best thing you could do for horse welfare is to donate your £1300 to the “make a noise” campaign to end the horrific travelling conditions hundreds of horses are enduring. Think bigger than just one horse – she is not the only one heading to Italy on a wagon.
And besides, if someone is wanting to spend £1300 they can do better than a two year old currently in France and probably not in very good nick!
I don’t doubt your intentions, but your methods will not change things.
