I've stopped posting or even opening my mail with anything concerning DR1.
But I do a quick scan and mostly ignore everything.
This evening I saw a PM from someone that I respect concerning an abandoned/dumped foal and was asking or help. Being that I respect the person and have some knowledge/contacts about horses I responded ASAP with all I had at that time.
The thrown away foal was not on his property but on a friend of his. His friend found it in a ditch. NO mare or other horse around and they have searched and asked. The finders have done and are doing a good job to keep this newborn on its hooves and alive. They will be up ALL NIGHT warming milk and drizzling it into it. NOT an easy task and given that everything is closed that just can't run out and buy equipment to help.
I thank the person for contacting me and that he knows that I'll help when the chips are down. I'm proud to be of help to the couple that will be up all night working on saving........ A thrown away foal. I do what I can in the morning.
WHAT A NEW LOW!
and then again; some people are really great. I've left names out since I don't have OK to post them. But they are people that can speak for themselves as they wish. As for me, I'm just someone that could try to help and do what I can but this 'Throw away a foal into a ditch".....
