Thanks Morse, but I think now that equinesection seems to be running alongside the French forum, I will leave it now.

Seems that situations with horses keeps changing. For instance the black trotter mare I enquired about over a week ago says she is saved on the UK forum, but does NOT on the french forum. I am sick of asking questions about her andnot getting a reply.

Same goes for the grey spanish gelding, who was apparently saved last week, now he isn't?? Oh and he doesn't have a code either.

I was just doing this for people who didn't have the time to log on the french site or faff about translating and also to keep it up to date from what I saw on the French forum.

It's nice to know that a few people did appreciate me doing it though.

First: Andaloosa, the grey spanish is saved... Not by equine...
twice: trotter mare saved on Uk forum, but we waiting about confirmation...

I put a check point on the english session on Nv, i update when i have information...

It's an hard work! I know! but I can explain all it's happened when i 'ev not myself the good information...

All make all we can... It's difficult, we have to synchronise three site!!!

Keep cool, lot of work did in few days, and the have more to do...

I'm soory if i make you angry, but for each poeple sames rules...http://equinesection.proboards92.com/

I think you've been doing a great job! and having had my own experience of coordinating and bringing back 12,totally understand how hard it has been fo you! well done!x

[poppyandbea]

i expect its hard work trying to get the 3 site updated together but you are all doing an amazing job to help theses horses.

Thanks Thundersprite on behalf of all those involved!

It is important to remember that this work is being carried out by volunteers who are juggling other commitments such as family, work and recently rescued horses. At times, they even need to sleep! Add to this that they are all working in a new language and the sheer size of France, and you will understand the huge task they have undertaken.

I know that alot of effort is being put into keeping the sites up to date and making them more user-friendly (the new codes will definately help).

I would strongly recommend that we use Tag13, who is on the ground in France, and Lucy as our co-ordinators to prevent any crossed wires. They already have a good working relationship with the NV team and the transporters. Please allow them time to get back to you as they sometimes have to leave the computer for a while. For instance, Tag13 is visiting the 86 farm today (with a potential rescuer) so won't be able to respond to e-mails until later. She will then have the latest information.....

Good advice Dobsie! Would just like to re-iterate Thanks to everyone for working soooooo hard!

We have been flat out and have barely been able to read threads on horses which is why i have been giving my tel no out to those who email me directly, so i can type and talk. We have had alot going on lately and barely sleep whilst setting up staff and a new system, it would be easier for us to shut down for 4-7days and train everyone who has volunteered but instead are still going as best we can. i have replied a mountain of emails even if it is just to say ring me so we can talk. Its hard when we leave the pc and return to over 60 emails some times. But this can only be good news for horses in a desperate situation. I have replied to every email i have recied from andaloosa re french black mare and have written to you to say that although she says certain horses havent been updated this is because i need to liase with french side before updating for more details and also that there are some legal issues regarding some of the horses so they were infact removed rather than not placed on the site.
In the last week i have not had 24/7 internet access but have tried my best to do what i can although i havent been active on discussion groups as i have had no time and still wont until things are running more smoothly. The comments about setting up a site and a discussion group that we cant update need to be ironed out too, the site has snowballed ina way that has put a huge strain on resorces eg phone bills etc (im expecting a £400 bill for mine) but that may give an insite of all the liasing myself woffords and the french side have done aswell as keeping new owners in the loop. I have a family who have barely seen me yet im hoping that by working so hard now i can spend more time with them in the day. I have been working from 7am until 4am most days since the 1st horse was saved. The new site is 11 days old and until the last few days i only had me to run it whilst building it and liasing with the horses and new owners, transport, defra to keep everything in order. Had i set this up expecting this responce it would have been organised 1st ready for kick off. But like i say it just snowballed. I try to check mail on dg boards as often as possible.

ok on a better note, we now have a number of people as mods admin on the forum and now 3 will be 4 on the main website. there is on each horse a point of contact which we hope people will use to save 3 of us doing the same thing only to come together to relise the others were also handling the same horse/new owner, double booking horses etc. in one case 4 people were on the 1 horse. Its early days i hope most people out there can bare with us we really cant try any harder than we are but are slowly slowly getting a good system in palce. For anyone interested in horses on equine section must only really contact the people whom are liasing with each other eg slescaliver lucy tag and me. We have not and do not liase with anyone else so cant vouch for info given by them.

No names here, but i will state this, the person who has mentioned in pm that quote "There is a money maked racket that is going on and will be exposed some time soon" i think this is very uncalled for and insulting after the efforts by many. This has came out of no where and were open to investigation.


Thanks all the lovely people who has stood by use at this manic time, its all worth it your all doing brilliantly. we will give a no count of how many horses have been saved from day 1, (i cant be spacific but its quite impressive) well im about it xx

I would just like to thank Lisa for explaining the situation, I am sure there are plenty of people who realise that you have all been working very very hard.
For my part I would just like to say a BIG THANK YOU to you all, after all it is the Horses that are the most important thing here and obviously you guys see this and that's why you are not going to bed when you sould be!!!!!!!

Good luck and well done!
