I'm sorry not have got on sooner - after much talk we have taken a momentous decision to cut for silage, after tomorrow and the next monsoon due. With regard to the closure of the EMW fundraiser for the Percheron Mare. Chanellie is right that we - EMW - cannot support further horses under this scheme. The decision to offer a net under Cybelle was due to her age and the fact that we have a place for her to go to under EMW contract with the safety net in place for her. Gill is right insomuch as EMW will continue to support the ILPH Hook not Hoof campaign and Cybelle will be a highly visable ambassador . We are not forgetting the other ones left there but sadly only taking what we can cope with now. Each and everyone who has helped to bring this mare to the UK owns a little of her and together she is an IHDG/EMW appeal equine and always will be. Using Cybelle we will be able to highlight what would have happened to her and what is happening to the others held at this farm and others across europe . We have a meeting of trustees shortly and the whole issue of the French farm and it's links with the Italian abattoirs will be discussed thoroughly and all information we have has already been given to the ILPH in the hope that it will help future horses. I know it's a terrible hard decision to take not to attempt more horses - the biggest stopper is facing a winter where feeding is to become a huge issue in the UK, and the probability of many British horses being in need of help as a result of shortages, means we now have to look to closer to home. I hope this helps explain why the desion is taken to end this particular appeal. emw

i think whatever the decision it is about funding, not just one horse that has been saved there are at least 3 on here which now have new homes and a brighter future so things are being done i for one will be going over later on in the yr to get some more and how many of us have seen the website passed on details and have the knowledge that many more will be saved because of someone highlighting the problem which i never knew of before yesterday so even if there are no more funds to be raised there are still people who will save these horses

I agree with iwillbuy and lucy, I had no idea about the farm and I'm now aware of what is going on, I personally will without a doubt travel over later in the year and bring back 2 horses. Thank you to everyone for making me aware. xxx
