14 cobby types looking for homes - S Wales

[janwilky]

A colleague of mine has asked me to put the word out about a group of 14 horses which have been abandoned on a site in South Wales. The landowner (an energy company) is taking responsibility for them and looking after them until homes can be found. I understand they'll be free to good homes. I've got some pics in a pdf file I can e-mail to anyone who is interested, and I can provide details of the person to contact to find out more. They're coloured gypsy cob types, look a bit scruffy but not in bad condition (much like mine lol!). One or two look very nice, I'd be tempted if I had room for another... Some of them look like youngsters. Hard to tell from the pics how big they are.

I know it's not a good time for finding homes for abandoned horses/ponies, but if anyone can help, please let me know and I'll give you more info.

Are they sure they have been abandoned? Travellers in that area will often fly-graze their horses and will be watching them, so any attempt to move them is likely to trigger the owners coming back for them.
There are a lot of horses being abandoned around here now, but gypsy cob types are not normally among them.

Sounds like fly grazing - if the land owners put up abandonment notices they become their property after 2 weeks. Happens a lot with local authority/utility land. We had to deal with a group of 23 earlier this year - they were moved before notice period ran out.
