I'm very sorry to have to say that the last three Comtois colts left for Italy yesterday. There were homes and purchasers for them but in the end the owner didnt wait for the arrangements to be made for payment and collection. These are the difficulties we have to face in France when dealing with some owners.If the meat lorry turns up prior to payment being made the horses are gone!!    R.I.P |

Apparently they are in Turin now and will be slaughtered on Monday......where they are kept until that time is anyones guess.
This is the very sad reality of the horse meat trade and why each and every horse that is saved from the whole traumatic experience that occurs BEFORE they get to die is so important to us.

Haven't stopped thinking about them since we found out last night, my heart is bleeding for these poor babies!
Trina please don't get too upset or despondant (I know you didn't get much sleep last night and when you did you had awful nightmares!!) unfortunately we can't save them all and we need you to be strong enough to carry on the wonderful work you have been doing. However lets make this a learning curve in the fact that we cannot always trust these owners!!!!!!!
Take care and remember I am here if you need me,
Rxxx
