Please note: Latest news on this issue: I learned that this dealers yard is a lot worse than I had at first thought.
1. They are buying the polish horses destined for slaughter and selling them off here in the UK
2. Horses and ponies are drugged before being shown to a prospective buyer to conceal behavioural problems. These horses have subsequently caused accidents to adults and children after the horses have been taken bought, and the drugs have worn off.
3. The dealer only shows buyers the stables at the front of the yard, and not at the back, where horses are in stalls where they cannot turn around or lie down
It has come to my attention that a horse dealer's yard here in the UK is selling off their unsold horses on a regular basis at a horse auction...Many of these animals, who have been, in some cases, handed over by owners who have been under the impression that the dealer will ensure the animal is to be sold to a good home, but the reality is, if they are not sold to a private home, they will be sold for slaughter. I had reports that in most cases, these horses are unwell with heavy worm burdens. I decided to take a look for myself. I can only describe the place as a shambles, where they brought the horses out for me to 'try' as if they were products on a conveyer belt, they just kept bringing them out, so desperate were they to make a sale. These people have seemingly no concern for the animals, and all the horses I saw were clearly infested with worms and looked generally unwell. I am not a vet, and therefore, cannot make a medical diagnosis, but I know a sick horse when I see one. I have had reports too of constant outbreaks of Strangles at this yard. (a highly contagious disease in horses) This yard is named in the auction entries. I cannot post them here, but if anyone would like to see the entries, please let me know. In early March 2007, we will be attending the horse auction where these dealers sell off their unsold horses. We will be outbidding the meat man for as many horses/ponies as we can possibly rescue. We need to raise awareness now in order for us to accumulate the funds and help needed. We desperately need your help with the following:
• Funding for:
• Ensuring safe and efficient travel to a safe and secure foster home.
• Vet fees
• Farrier fees for immediate foot care
• Worming pastes
• Feed and Hay
• Bedding
When we place an unwanted horse or pony into foster care, we cover most of the costs of the equine's keep... Many of the animals we place have been neglected and desperately need farrier visits, vet treatment and wormers. And as they have been uncared for, they often need a programme of treatment for their feet, worm burdens and vet treatment, to bring them back to full health. Providing this for horses and ponies doesn't come cheap, and we need help!!
Please help us to rescue some of these horses and ponies. No matter how small the amount, it would help! Please click here to donate: Last Angel Equine Defence Donation

Thank you
Yours for the horses

Russell
Russell - is 9 years old and everyone at GRWE agrees that he is a really special boy. Whoever gets to take him home will have their lives enriched by this wonderful dog. Russell loves people and greets everyone he meets enthusiastically and simply loves his cuddles and kisses.
Can you give Russell a home? Please visit http://www.grwe.co.uk/ (west of england)
Shady
Shady has a sad story to tell, and he needs an understanding owner to help him settle into his Forever Home. He is 11 years old and has only ever lived outside and had just a wooden kennel to call home. He lived in a total mess and was kept chained to the kennel with no room to run around and be free. He had been owned by the same owner since he was a puppy, and when the owner left home 6 months ago he left Shady behind with his partner. Thankfully we were asked to help Shady, and we intend to make his twilight years the best ones of his life.
Can you give Shady a home? Please visit http://www.grwe.co.uk/ (west of england)
Lucky
Lucky would like somewhere warm to snuggle and sleep, but she also tends to not be very bothered about where she widdles so some waterproofing may be necessary! She can live with cats.
Can you give Lucky a home? Please visit http://lizziesbarn.dogpages.org.uk/ (South Wales)
Kendra
Beautiful Kendra is a 7 year old lurcher girl who has been in rescue for two and a half years. EGLR are making a real effort to try to find Kendra her special new home.

Randy
Randy is a lovely quiet girl who needs a home of her own. She has lived in kennels all her life and has been used to produce a couple of litters of puppies.
RGOA feel Randy would suit any type of home, but she cannot live with cats. Can you offer her a warm cosy bed for the rest of her days?
If you are interested in Randy, please contact RGOA on 01708 640895. Please mention that you saw her on the Oldies Club website. http://www.oldies.org.uk/
Randy is based in Langdon Hills, Essex (Rescue would prefer that Randy is homed within a 50 mile radius of the kennels, but would consider rehoming outside of their usual area)
