Handing over of the cheque to SWHP!!!!!!

[VeronicaF]

Hi Guys, I went over to SWHP (Society for the Welfare of Horses and Ponies) yesterday to hand over the cheque that everyone had helped raised.
Jenny at SWHP was in total shock at how much everyone had raised for them,she was also so very grateful too
and sends a very very Big Thank you to everyone!!
Here are a few photos of yesterdays visit

This is me passing over the cheque to Jenny at SWHP on behalf of you all


This is a little very young beautiful Filly ,she had been left to starve, and SWHP had rescued her.





This is a beautiful photo of Jenny with some of her rescued horses





and this is a handsome boy they had rescued who also suffered from sweetitch

Fab V. I am so glad YOU took the cheque ;D Photos like those make me want to pack up and move to Wales to work for SWHP!

Well done V. Its absolutely brilliant for everyone concerned to see exactly where and how their money helps these wonderful places.

I know that it was a long round trip for you to get there, so well done and thanks from all of us !

Hooray! Lovely photos as well. (I want that little filly now...).
How much was the cheque for? I'm sure I've missed it somewhere

[roo]

Hee! Kas I want the little coloured chap in the last picture! Its fab the DG raised so much for SWHP.

Hi Guys, The cheque was for a whooping £3,200!!!!
They were so very grateful, I want that Filly too, she was so very beautiful, so gentel, and poor little darling had been through so much for someone so young, so unfair
not only had she been starved but she had been tried to be used for breeding!!! can you believe that, poor little love.her name was ellilouise!
so sad to hear some of their sad stories, there was one chap that they had rescued who had lived in a stable with no turn out at all for two years! and his food had been chucked over the stable, it was so sad to hear his sad story of his past
he had so many vices
weaving and windsucking you name it he had it, but with lots of TLC and plenty of company and 24/7 turn out he was learning to overcome his past.
so many sad stories, heartbreaking, but so lovely that there is people and places like Jenny and team at SWHP to help rescues these poor horses and ponies.

Also which I was unable to get a photo of him but there is an old chap who is 16 hands high, I forget how old he is but he is old but beautiful, he had a hock problem, and because he is so very big and can't be ridden none wants him.
and they desperately need to find him a home because they might have to have him pts because none wants him because he is so big and old and can't be ridden and none wants him.
so if there is anyone who can offer this old dear man a home? please get intouch with SWHP
Love Vxxx

well done V!

poor old boy, if I could I would have him someone out there with space may be there for this old boy?)

I have to be honest tho, I assumed this sort of charity didnt PTS

[kas]

Yes, me too. I can understand for extreme health, but not just because can't be ridden. Do you know if they've been in touch with Redwings V?

[Gail&Merlin]

im supprised they PTS too, surely the 3k would look after him for a while, hes obviously a good cause if he's on deathrow!

[Lorraine L]

Just to clarify, because V is away today, I think i am right in saying that the old boy has been with them for sometime whilst looking for a home. They are hoping a home comes along but its not subject to any idea of him being pts - that would only be a health deterioation (sp) matter in the extreme as Kas says.

I think V was hoping to 'pluck at your heartstrings' !! lol. I know that she wanted to bring them all home with her !!!

[Jenny (& the boys)]

What beautiful horses and how fabulous that Jenny and the SWHP team invited Veronica to visit them and see where all of the raised money will be going

[sulasmum]

I would love to visit there. That little filly is so lovely, go on KAS you know you want her

Lovely to see where the money went.

[eileen]

Isn't it wonderful to know where the money will be going and how much all the fund raising everyone did is going to help all those beautiful creatures. As with all charities they still need money to keep going and doing the brilliant job they are doing. Isnt it just a beautiful place with such stunning views? Thanks so much V for going on a long journey to personally hand the cheque over on behalf of us all. eileen x
