Mrs reckons people just dump them up mountains . On the lower level of horses I don't think you can give some away sadly so people dump them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterhunter86 8,627 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I hunt a bit of common land across from my house thats a dumping ground for horses last winter some thick cnut put a foal with a head collar still on and as it grew over the summer it got so tight it couldnt eat and the flesh was rotten and full of maggots the smell was awfull i tried to catch it but couldnt get near it so i got in touch with a girl from a horse charity and they got the keeper from dublin zoo to dart it and sorted it out and now its in a good home. Then last week i was having a mooch an came across a young foal with lumps took out its legs and shoulder and were full of puss and infected it took me all day to catch it and fairplay to the charity the came straight out and took it to the vets and its doing well and drinking milk. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 My cousin has ponies on the Beacons same as his father and grandfather before him. Start at 18.45 on the video it's my cousins two daughters helping with the gathering in of the ponies. The foals are separated from the mothers and are sold usually for the hook in France. Although one of the main reasons that there is no market for the ponies is that they do so well on rubbish feed once they get on good lowland grass they get laminitis.

gamerooster 1,179 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 The issue with them is is that they're a lot denser boned than say a thoroughbred, which on turns means less profit percentage,I think last time I checked it was 70 pence a kilo for light horses, and 35 pence a kilo for cobs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
