Came up on a friends profile (she doesn't own the horse, someone posted it to her in disgust)
I'm not familiar with any NSW rescue orgs & who's dodgy & whatnot but if anyone knows of them can you please pass this on?

or if not send off.... dogging is by the least worst end.... me i think living in the paddock starving and not looked after a far worse life, than a quick trip on a truck.
while not my choice, it not the worst fate.

No - finding a companion home is NOT a bad thing - hence why I just put this post up.
Sending it to the doggers just so you can reclaim a little bit of money back - are you kidding me?
Yes, your right there are MUCH worse things than death - so put the poor thing down instead of enduring a unnecessary trip to the knackery.

Woman that was rang stated that he was just put up for advertisement - so no he hasn't be around for ages. They want him gone asap or he will be sent to the knackery.
Taylorboy - I actually never knew that NSW was like that - thanks for the heads up.

| Stockhorse wrote on Tue, 24 July 2012 10:45 | So is the person that rang going to take the horse or was it just for the purposes of putting it on a forum?
|
Nope - purpose of finding out the truth first. She is willing to take him once she can figure out transport but the main point of this post was to see if any rescue orgs up in NSW can take him on. Not for people on the forum to take on out of the goodness of their hearts - if you can, good on you!

That's okay! thanks for considering it but!
I don't expect people to open up their hearts to take him on - I just thought if someone out there from NSW can give anyone a heads up about him it might buy him some more time until some can do right by him.
I'm no way associated with this horse - so don't shoot the messenger! Just trying to help out!

I'll have to ask the girl who rang as I actually don't know who the school is! Give me a sec!

Who are they? What is the background of the school? I actually haven't heard anything on them!

Yes that's them.
No, they do not need to send him to the doggers - if worst came to worst, they could have him PTS and buried on their countless acres of land. Legally, they are able to do this also.
They are just money-hungry ferals and I'm not in the least surprised about this.
I'm moving back to the coast (not far from them) but haven't moved yet and at the moment I'm about 6 hours away I will forward his ad on to some people I know on the coast though.
As I said though, doesn't surprise me in the least about these people.

Unfortunately, I agist about 20minutes from there but do not have the $$$ (agistment in NSW especially only an hour out of Sydney is through the roof).
The poor thing, he has probably been used even with his arthiritis, like RE said they have a ridiculously large property and are more than capable of PTS opposed to the doggers.
Glenworth are notorious for many reasons. I would never ever consider leaving a horse in their care.

| roses4roses wrote on Tue, 24 July 2012 15:53 | I have to say why is it "soo disgraceful" when a horse might be sent to the doggers when for one its getting old ,
2 has no use for the current owner and
3 is unrideable ?
SERIOUSLY not being harsh or anything but horses are stock and cattle get killed everyday and know one cares why is a horse any different?
|
I completely agree R4R but in this instance if this horse has provided that much work for them & generated money it deserves a retirement or at least a week / month off then put it down in a loving way. Not ship it off in a truck to it's fate. They owe that animal a dignified death.
As others have pointed out - yes there worse fates than death in this world but if that's the case - put it to sleep on the property!

it annoys me, cos they dont want to look after it anymore, yet put the guilt trip on all of us that if no one takes it, it's off to the knackery.
It would be kinder to PTS at home in his own environment peacefully without the stress of transporting and the smell of death at the knackers
