Another huge thank you from France..

[tag13]

Well what can I say except so many thank you's to all of you who have been generous,brave and kind enough to give these horses another life.

When I first visited the yard on Sunday July 8th and had to choose one from all of those horses I was heartbroken and feared the ones we left behind had absolutely no chance of finding homes in time.Just over 3 weeks later and I still cannot believe what has happened...its truly amazing.Every chance I get I'm on here looking at all the threads and photos and each time I get tears...tissues are now permanently by the computer now!

Also many thanks to the people behind the scenes like Lucy and all the Nouvelle vie webmasters who have tried so hard with the translations,and also the transporters for safely delivering them to your doors.

Sadly this week I have encountered a very sad and horrendous cruelty case involving donkeys and mules here in France which I will post on here later in the week as I don't want to jeopardize the outcome yet...I will see if Elaine thinks the photos I took are suitable to post on here as they are shocking but I do want to highlight the terrible welfare laws here in France and see if a few voices make a difference.

Give all your beautiful new horses and ponies a big kiss from me and treasure them, their value is not monetary.

Hello Trina, it has been a pleasure and I feel honoured and privileged to have been involved and been able to give a home to Lafun. Thank you for your help also, I remember you offering free livery at one point.xx

[morse98]

I agree with you melissa I too feel honoured and privileged to have been involved. If it wasn't for Trina I would never have known about Lancia or any of the others plight. I Thank her from the bottom of my heart because without Lancia my life would be a very dull place now.

Love you Trinaxxxxxxxxx

Lucy can you PM me your email and i'll send you the photos.I'll post the story this week but at the moment i'm still waiting on the authorities to act...lots of talk but no actions!You'll all be heartbroken by this i'm afraid!

My rescued boy,new name Zurito,also has bad scars and the back of a back fetlock..he also is reluctant to lift it for me at all,dread to think!He's had a bath and getting fatter and is an absolute cutey.If someone can tell me how to upload photos I will.
Aparently the Breton and donkey we rescued at the same time are also doing very well,donkey loving cuddles and the Breton eating her way through house and home by all accounts!

[Lucy]

Just about to go out but you can either email me on [e-mail] or I can ring you a bit later?
