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.
