Wanted: Horse trailer

    Guys, a few colleagues and I have recently been dealing with the issue of a few abandoned horses near where we work. It got quite bad, to the point we had to call a vet to have one euthanised. Other ones have died on their own and the ones left over stand among the skeletons of their brethren:(.

    But East Galway Animal Rescue have agreed to take the remaining 4 horses (pic below). We're raising funds for them but it turns out now that their trailer is broken so we are helping them find one to borrow for a day. That day to be hopefully this week, the horses can be collected from tomorrow evening under County Council Bye law.

    So if you are or know someone that might be able to facilitate this, please PM me.

    If you can get funding, and if you are dealing with horses on a regular basis, there is the likes of this available to buy: http://www.donedeal.ie/trailers-for-sale/double-axel-horse-box/6732136

    You could try one of the equestrian centres to see if they would come out with one of their trucks or trailers and help you out; they may see it as very good PR for giving a little bit of time.

    Storm10, getting contact with the council is far from an easy task as we have recently found out...

    Fey, this is quite an exception for me. But we had the same idea as yourself and Galway Equestrian Centre has agreed to help:D

    It is really tragic to see such beautiful animals abandoned . call veterinary services in the county council , they can arrange transport. best of luck.

    Great to hear. They'll also be used to dealing with horses of all temperaments, which I'd imagine will make it easier for the animals.
