Sadly no,with the financial situation here at the moment there are more unwanted horses and ponies than ever,the sanctuaries and charities that normally give them homes have more than they can afford to keep,so there is nothing they can do to help.
Unfortunately in France horse is considered a delicacy,so these despicable people who claim to be horse lovers see a way to make easy money from supplying horse meat for the French restaurants and dinner tables.
The government did try and stop the trade and banned the export of live horses and ponies for slaughter,so they get around that law by having them slaughtered here and ship the carcasses to France instead.
Thank goodness you are able to do something to help the situation there,and that there are other people who also care.
It really makes you wonder what is in the minds of those who can cruelly mistreat any animal or cause its death for fun?
Here dog fighting has been illegal for almost 200 hundred years I think it is,but now its a very popular "sport" again,fox hunting has been banned,but they are still campaigning to change the law so they can go back to their traditional way of life as they call it and enjoy the sight of a pack of dogs tearing a living creature to pieces?
With up to 40 horses being treated like that,what sort of people are they that can do that,there can not be the slightest amount of humanity or compassion in them for any life form?
Its a shame I am in England,it would be wonderful to photograph a happy ending with a horse or any animal,even just once.

Thank you very much!
I tried to get the car reflected in the puddle too,but there was just no way possible to do it?
As you must have noticed,I do have a fascination for burnt out cars,stripped of shiny paint and plastic trim the remaining skeletons have their own strange beauty,plus make a quite powerful statement of decay in the disposable society.
Have you thought of trying deviantart yourself?
It is a very friendly site,plus there is no upload limit like on flickr,and the only real drawback is me being a member!

You might find flickr ok and it could just be me?
I can be slightly outspoken on subjects I feel strongly about,and do have a very strange sense of humour that can be a tiny bit acidic and often borders the surreal,so.....
Those two were lucky,I just wish all the others in the same situation could have such luck?

Would you like the castle ghost in the shot as well?


depends...is the ghost family??


Not sure on that one?
It does look a bit like great uncle Arthur though?

Would you like the castle ghost in the shot as well?

Give me a day or so and I may be able to arrange that?
I even just so happen to know a castle that does wedding ceremonies,I could put them in front of that?

Thank you!
I do have another gallery where I put some of the darker work that I do,if you would be interested in seeing that?
Its sort of my scrapbook of dark and depressing work,plus any experimenting I do.

Thanks very much!
I did actually have a flickr account,abandoned it as I did not like flickr very much to be honest,people on there are not very friendly I found?
There is a bit of sort of good news about the two ponies,they are still alive and I think somebody must have bought them,spotted them in a field today and would recognize those two rascals anywhere!
They are both very friendly and mischievous,and it would not surprise me if somebody fell in love with them and saved them?

Of course you can,anything you desire will be yours?
It will be the wedding from your dreams as some dreams do come true?

Thank you very much!
This one is dedicated to you.

One of the earths wonderful natural beauties,quite fitting I think.

Basically I take shots of cruelty and mistreatment of animals,and put them on the internet in the hope of making people aware of what goes on?
The horses are unwanted pets,a certain group of people buy them cheaply at an auction,when they have a lorry load they send them off for slaughter for the meat trade.

Thank you very much,and thank you for looking!
That is why I put the shots on there,to try and raise peoples awareness as to the way horses and ponies are treated.
You should see the state some of the poor creatures are in,they have injuries nobody bothers to treat as they are going to be slaughtered anyway,plus they have no water to drink apart from the stagnant water in the ditches if they can get to it?
This country has a lot to be ashamed of with the treatment of animals here.

It is a tough one I must admit?
Healthcare does depend on which health authority the area you live in comes under,some are very good,but others,well,lets just say it may be best to write a will at the first sign of the slightest ailment?
So it does pay to be a bit crafty like me and use different addresses,then you pick the one that gives the greatest chance of survival and recovery!

So it could be a case of your country or mine then if you have been looking for somebody in the UK?
Would English country life appeal to you as I live in a village in the Kent countryside in an early Victorian cottage,its four miles to the nearest town which has a 10th century castle and a 12th century cathedral,plus shops and buildings going back to the 14th century.
Its about an hours drive to London,and less than two hours on the train to Paris,and its close to the sea as well,so have the best of all worlds really?
But if that is not to your taste,I shall meet you at the airport tomorrow evening?

Oh yes,you most certainly have!
Its taken me over an hour to stop the tears flowing after finding that you are in America!
I shall just have to buy a ticket and fly there as soon as I can,hopefully be there by tomorrow evening?
By the way,the bit about getting it right this time was me clicking the wrong button trying to reply,thought I was quoting you,but ended up sending a reply to nobody.

I have a bit of an interest in photography,my specialist subjects are macro shots of insects and arachnids,plus wildflowers.
Also shoot urban decay type shots,ruins and derelict buildings,burnt out stolen cars in a fine art style,and the odd industrial wasteland shot.

I do have a gallery on deviantart if anybody would be interested in looking at it?

If you did have this "slim" body,would you really be happy?
Always being hungry and never being able to enjoy the foods you would like to eat,and having to constantly watch and worry about every calorie?
From your photo you have a very pretty face,you are still the same person whatever size you are,try and accept your figure and looks and be proud of them?

Yes I see what you mean!

You are right with what you say about confidence,as I mentioned in my last post,I have known and met some very large ladies who were confident with their size and knew they were attractive,with the way they dressed and hair and make-up,they knew how to make the most of themselves and get noticed in the right way,they were very beautiful women.
Yes,with preferences,it must be pretty obvious I do find larger ladies attractive,thats not a hard and fast rule though as I go by personality first,but there are a lot of men out there like me who also like the fuller figure.

Thank you!
I think,and hope,a lot of people do think that way,sadly life is full of very shallow people though,but what they think is not important and does not matter?

Yes,I see what you are saying,but the media is just a fantasy world they have created and most people realise that,reality is very different and none of us are perfect in our own eyes?
You say "fit,healthy,trim,attractive" but size does not really come into it if somebody is attractive,I have known and met some extremely large ladies who have very beautiful faces,they were confident and accepted the way they were built,that did show with the way they dressed and acted,and they had no shortage of men chasing after them.
But on the other hand,over the years I have known or dated what were considered very beautiful and perfect women,models etc. and to be quite honest the personality of most of those did leave quite a lot to be desired,they were very much in love with themselves with not much room left for anybody else in their lives.
