Maybe this has now grown so large that a committee should be got together in charge of funds. A seperate account be set up and horses go out on loan contracts rather than giving individuals money to buy horses. This is the main stumbling block as far as I am concerned that has prevented me from joining in this appeal

That is an idea that could be thought about , bgut no good to me i dont have horses on loan as i said i rescue and then if there well and temperatment is ok they are then put out on loan type by an adoption , if the board so wishes then they could collect donations and then put horses out on loan but who is going to check homes out first and if down the line who is going to take these horses back if the home fails in maybe a year or two down the line ,
im not going to say any more on the subject i will carry on doing car boots and fundraise other ways till i can maybe save one , thankyou to all those that have so far offered funds i will let you all know when i have enough to save one and keep those involved informed ,kim

Ponytails.. look at what you have said. this is why more structure needs building into this. What if subscriptions buy people horses with no conditions, things go wrong and they end up tethered on people's allotments, or dragged round this country from sale to sale.

ponytails definately no disrespect to you but nobody knows who each other are on this forum and we have to trust and take peoples words to say who they are i feel uneasy about asking for a pound for a life as some people may not even have a pound spare and then made to feel guilty about it setting up a paypal or nochex account will mean they have to donate more than a pound as you will have fees, have you thought about if the money is not raised if you have to refund people it could be a long and messy process i hope you can understand where i am coming from

Just a suggestion here, shall we all delete our messages and delete the whole thread? I don't think Ponytails meant to upset anyone and she is obviously doing good spending her own funds saving UK horses. We all get carried away seeing those poor horses in France and I still think many more can be saved by us. Ponytails - I know you are wanting to help for genuine reasons and I didn't mean my words to appear so harsh, but what i am trying to say is, use the money you have to look after the ones you have rescued and if you can, rescue some more from UK as it is cheaper and we do need a lot of help here too. See if we can delete this thread and everyone can be OK with each other again. PM if you want to.

Well said Andaloosa, just on the issue of the needy, at the min I feel the most needy would be some of the donkeys or muels, we are moving the horses fairly quickly, especially the black mare trotter and others like look in good conditon!

Just wanted to verify that I have met Ponytails and some of the many animals that she has rescued including New Forest ponies, guinea pigs and dogs. I worked with a couple of her youngsters when I was over there. I don't know whether she can speak French though!!!!

Thankyou Sarah.W At least we now know ponytails is who she say,s she is . Not that I doubted her for a single moment.People like her who give up their time and money to take in rescues deserve a medal.
