Hi John

I am not going to beat around the bush in sending this email to you. I live in One Tree Hill and have horses. Everyday I drive down Crosshill Road to go to work in the morning.

Every morning I see the same poor grey horse with the canvas rug on. Every day (especially on days like today) I say to myself "please have your rug off".

I don't know you personally and have only spoken to Linda once at the Golden Grove Fodder Store but I have seen your brown hatchback on Crosshill Road where these particular horses are (I don't think for one minute this particular horse belongs to you).

I am hoping that you know who owns the grey horse and can find out why he/she still has a rug on in this weather?!

I have read your warnings - Number 7 says "overrugging is cruel and can cause colic and death".

I am at the point where I want to jump the fence and take the bloody rug off myself!

You may think I am a nosey bitch but that is not the case at all. A couple of weeks ago when it was 28 degrees the horse had its rug on! I would hate to think what it looks like underneath it.

Hope you can help.


Regards

Trish

Hi John,

Today Adelaide has a forecasted temp of 44 degrees, so out here in Two Wells the temp will probably reach at least 46 degrees.

3 mares and 3 foals are in the paddock with no shade again.  The only shade they have in the afternoon is from one little tree.  Which would maybe sufficient shade for an ant.

Please find a few photo’s attached.

Cheers
