Free horses?

New Topic

• hunterseat Posted : 11/5/2010 1:50:07 AM There's a farm in Dickson TN (between Nashville and Memphis approx) that is giving away all their horses.  Mostly TWH's.  Some spotted.  Don't know the breeding.  If anyone's interested I can post the info.  Or someone else who knows it can post it.

• Painted Horse Posted : 11/5/2010 3:25:49 AM I'm glad to see them trying to place the horses in homes.  Here in the west, Folks have been turning them loose on range land. Thinking they will just join the mustang herds and be fine.  doesn't happen.   While up shooting some ground squirrels, we asked the rancher for permission to shoot on his land. His reply, was sure, and if you see any horses shoot them too. People just turn them loose and I have horses running all over the ranch.   LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• hunterseat Posted : 11/5/2010 3:38:18 AM Agreed.  Then there are those who allow the horses to starve.  [:@] LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• face Posted : 11/5/2010 9:25:09 AM People are just clueless. We have a big problem with people dumping dogs around here. They think that we "country people" will just take them in or the dogs will make it on their own. People can only handle so many animals and dumped domestic dogs form packs that become wild, if they survive. The wild dogs around here become very aggressive towards people and kill the family pets. One neighbor took in a puppy from a pack a few years ago, but the dog was not right and was very aggressive. It ended up putting my son in the hospital with a dog bite. The county will not do anything with wild dogs until AFTER someone is bit, so we have to take them out ourselves.

• jungle_cat Posted : 11/13/2010 11:51:24 PM It can be hard to place even free horses in this economy.   Hope they find good homes.

• JC Javelle Posted : 11/14/2010 4:00:34 AM It is a lot of horses to place. I wonder how many stables around here actually have the available space to take on some horses.

• hunterseat Posted : 11/14/2010 11:00:46 AM I smiled because they listed their colors as: [pre]Palominos, all colors, Black and White spotted, sorrow, Black, tri-color Sorrow.... [] I have a facebook friend who kills herself with racehorse rescue. She offers 30 days of training free for any horse adopted. Recently she's realized that every time you buy them away from a kill buyer he's just making money and buying more to send to Canada. So... it's like buying a slave's freedom. The trader will just go buy more people. (human trafficking is an abomination practiced widely, even in the USA) Didn't mean to hijack my own thread.

• JC Javelle Posted : 11/14/2010 9:09:21 PM More like Mexico. Canada's slaughter houses should be closed down by now. I know that process started back in February.

• hunterseat Posted : 11/14/2010 11:45:37 PM I'm not anti-slaughter per say.  I'll use my own horses as examples.  Miles is not rideable and never will be.  Bully is blind and in his 20's.  I've gotten them forever by contract and I don't mind honoring the contract.  HOWEVER, if I could humanely euthanize them I could get one more that needs rescuing that is a sound, rideable horse.  They're great horses and deserve a good retirement, which is what they have.  Australia has rending plants where every horse owner understands they will be taking their horse when it comes that time.   Part of horse ownership.  I can see using horse meat to feed the big cats in the zoo....etc.  But the fear and torture associated with slaughterhouses.... Sorry.... hot topic.... LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
