The last few horses of dept 86 are at this moment traveling through France, finally away from that place! after a very traumatic 24 hours. I received a phone call from Trina in France early yesterday morning to say that of the final 3 horses left 2 had been saved by a lady in France and there was one left , and that he was destined to stay behind unless I could guarantee payment to save him as they were loading the last lorry. I had no option but to quickly agree and get him safely to England.He is now on his way. Welsh Cob has said she will give him a home as I cannot really take on or fund a third(my other 2 are coming on the same lorry), but we need to continue to raise funds for this as I have had to very seriously borrow money in order to save him. The important and great thing is dept 86 is now closed and the horses are now safe and now hopefully coming in the right dorection to England.!!!! Thank you so much to those of you who have donated to this final rescue.If anyone could please still contribute I would be very grateful.I haven't got the final price yet on the horse and there is the travel cost. So far I have received £130. Trina and Jon in France have done a fantastic job of saving these horses, as it was not easy .Hopefully they are now coming to happy lives in the UK. Please donate if you can by paypal, cheque or internet bank and pm me if you need more details.Many thanks. ;D

brilliant, youve been wonderful and have laid everything on the line for this big baby. Your right it was a very stressful time. well done.
I would like to also make people aware that in this case not only have we saved them all and cleared him out. He will NOT be restocking. This man was selling up due to ill health, he had sold the farm and needed the horses gone fast hence why he had them weighed up for meat as he couldnt look after them any longer.

After an eventful and long day yesterday, we (the French team!) are all waiting expectantly to hear of the safe arrival of all the horses.
Trina and Jon worked incredibly hard to get the horses safely on the lorry and the paperwork was a nightmare to organise. But knowing they are now on their way to new homes in both the UK and France makes it all worthwhile. Our thanks go to all those who have rallied to rescue the horses - please help Welshcob and Podkinpie raise the money necessary so the whole project has a happy ending for everyone involved.
Good luck to all the new owners - you really have saved these horses from an awful future - thank you!

.Please help to fund the rescue of the final boy if you can .I saw him in the box last night. He is a stunning big baby. I AM SO GLAD HE IS SAVED, but desperately need to try and cover what I have paid out as I need to pay my rent this month.Thank you and thanks so much to anyone who has donated already. I know there are many other horses who need homes too ,but this boy is not for me (sadly-he is so lovely-although mine are beautiful too!).
