thats brill the reason the horse trust got the worst cases is because they have the best vet, (was the queens) and because they have a hospital on site.

***UPDATE** AFTER speaking with the Yard Manager at the Horse Trust to make sure that they still do want donations of goods. The last thing anyone wants to do is to create a further problem for them by turning up with eg tatty, dirty, torn etc rugs and so on. Well, the Yard Manager was brilliant. Yes they DO still want donations but they are up to their armpits in rugs! What they want now is FEED and BEDDING. So please, please put the word out. Some of the other rescue charities may still need other stuff but the Horse Trust want feed and bedding. Their Yard Manager has asked for shavings, mollichaff, fibrebeet, small bale haylage. i will almost certainly be posting more about this asap. ready for the convoy perhaps next week. We desperately need others to join this virtual convoy as it could be a huge undertaking if we try to take it all. And it might well turn out that there wasn't enough load room on our lorry anyway so it would be pointless. Please talk tome well in advance...more news as it unfolds. By the way, Horse Trust also need ££££s and they guarantee that 90p of every £1 donated goes to the horses! x

well as most of you know things have gone mad! ive had 80 bags of feed donated from horsehage, i have a tack room full of rugs buckets groomkits ect, my boss has donated a cctv system and hfe signs who done my signs for the business have just donated... Many thanks to HFE Signs who have just donated 16 magnetic signs for our vehicles on convoy day, please have a look at www.hfe-signs.co.uk/horse.phpthey can make all types of signs, ive had my signs on our own vechicle signs since october, they are easy to clean hold well in wet weather and just peel off without leaving and marks, so once again many thanks to Karl for his time work and donation,

right this is the final call for devon donations... if you have anything to donate, i need to know by 3 pm ON FRIDAY, to arrange collection... i can NOT take ant more feed/shaving or hay. but have plenty of space for lighter items.
please dont be affended if i say your to far, as its not worth anyones while us traverlling 60 miles to collect 1 item, wed rather turn the fuel money into cash for the horse trust. (no that dosnt meen bombard me with emails. i have a headcoller im in plymouth,,,, hehe im not that daft!)
