Ruby EMW-UK's latest addition.

This photo was the one in her advert. taken last week. Ruby's story is fairly typical for am EMW-UK's rescue horses. She was well bred and   was looked after for the early part of her life, but, as is apparently common with horses of her breeding she became difficult to handle and over the past 5yrs  passed from person to person in a downward spiral. She was spotted by a man a couple of weeks ago in a very sad and sorry state, he managed to buy her then advertised her hoping to find a suitable home as he didn't really have the space for another horse. EMW Ruby's pedigree Ruby Treasure  His advert included a photo (above) and on seeing what a state she was in people on web forums began asking what was going to become of her most of all an ex owner who recognised her but didn't have the funds to buy and care for her. Janet George, one of our Patrons, talked with the Vendor who agreed a price to included him transporting Ruby to Janet's Yard today (12th September 2011). Ruby has been gifted to EMW-UK and will remain in their care for the rest of her life. She will for the time being remain with Janet so that she can receive the feed and any immediate veterinary care she needs and be assessed and rehabitated. This is going to be a long process but once Janet and her team Ruby is ready EMW-UK will look for a suitable long term loan home for her. This means she would be cared for by suitable qualified people under a very strict loan agreement and subject to regular visits and checks from an EMW-UK representative. Janet launched a campaign to raise money for Ruby's long term care and thanks to the generocity of friends and supporters £640 has been raised so far. This money will be accounted separately and used for Ruby's care which will include specialised feed, vet and farrier fees, rugs, tack and so the list goes on. Donations towards Ruby's care can be made through Just Giving Photo taken 12.9.11 on arrival at Janet's Yard.

2011 WE ARE GOING BACKWARDS IN TIME

Horses in the UK today

Each day this charity receives calls from worried public who have seen terrible sights of horses and ponies being kept in appalling conditions.

Each day this charity receives calls from the public with regard to horses being run flat out in harness, we get calls about thin horses, fat horses, horses with terrible feet, horses being kept in filth, horses with no apparent clean water source yet standing in high summer temperatures. 

There are horses with foals at foot, massive horses that are roaming the streets of towns and cities, horses being attacked and horses being victims of road accidents and other atrocities so revolting that it beggars belief that humans can stoop so low and commit these crimes. 

 Thank all the animal Gods that there are  that in the UK we no longer use horses as regular transport otherwise we could be forgiven for thinking we'd stepped right back in time to the later 1800's and early 20th century, the times of Black Beauty.

Equine welfare law in the UK is a joke, a sad and totally out-dated  provision that does nothing for the animals who are being so badly let down.
We need to implement changes and those changes must come soon. This charity will continue to campaign to update the laws relating to equine welfare and  call for the strongest penalties possible for ALL animal abuse crimes. If we can stamp out animal abuse we will be more than half way there in stamping out abuse toward children too.

We want your backing and need your support to help this charity continue to campaign for our E.N.D. Campaign (Equines Need our Defence) 

If you can donate just a little today please text EMWS11 and the amount to 70070. We thank you for your support.

My Website

WEBSITE

This is the fourth little website I have made for EMW-UK fundraising the last 2 were on Webs but I finally fell out with them a few weeks ago and changed to Google - - how I hate Google taking over my life but I fear it is because their "products" are so easy to use  even I can understand them.

 Back to the website it contains lots of info. about EMW-UK but is really concentrating on ways to help EMW-UK by fundraising, it also has links to photos including this one of the Herd being "frightened" by cows they see every day !! They don't actually run every day but this was the exception that proves etc etc

Of course the Charity has it's own website with far more information about every thing HERE 

About me and EMW-UK

I "met" EMW-UK through a couple of web forums about 10/11 years ago and felt that it was a  decent, honest organisation and what you saw was what you got. I gradually became involved in fundraising for them via the Internet. At the time my husband was very ill but desperately in need of something useful to do so he started making various small items which we sold via eBay to raise money.

After a great deal of work for many years EMW-UK finally qualified to be a registered UK charity ( No 1114700 )  which was a great step forward and I was honoured  and surprised to be asked to became a Trustee.

It wasn't until after he died in 2005 that I was able to actually go and meet the people and equines we had been helping but had never spoken to let alone met. During 2006 I visited Elaine and met the horses and ponies twice. Then just after Christmas 2006 I had a stroke which was very mild but has some unwanted long term effects.

So to the present where the changes in social media have made a huge difference to Charities I try to keep up with things via Twitter @EMWSanctuary and our Facebook fan page Equine Market Watch Sanctuaries(UK)  there are  3 admins of the fan page all post under the same name - just to confuse ourselves.

I feel that is long and boring enough to be going on with and will try to post something more interesting in future.
