Hi, I'm looking for a horse blanket that would fit a large mother horse and her foal. I'm not a horse person so I don't know sizes but I've posted a pic of the foal so hopefully that helps. The mother horse is tied up near my house without shelter and her foal stays with her, and whoever owns them doesn't seem to care that they're out there in below freezing temps. If anyone has spare horse blankets I can collect within a reasonable distance. Thanks.

Hi. I think I would contact the Dspca and hopefully they will take the poor creatures somewhere warmer and more suitable. Let me know how you get on as I feel really bad for these lovely animals. They are lucky to have you.

Thanks for your reply. The SPCA have been out to them already but they can't do anything about it. It wouldn't be my first thought to interfere with someone else's animals, I just feel so sorry for them and think at least if they had something on they might be ok. If someone has blankets to donate I would try and ask if it's ok to put them on.

Be careful with those horse jackets, if they are damaged or if the horse damages it, like some horses do by biting the jackets, etc, those jackets can do more harm then good, as once damaged they will hold water instead of keeping it out and the water will then freeze...

Its not something I would recommend if you don't know about horses, if they are not yours and you cant check on them up close...

If you can afford, a little extra horse food can go a long way keeping them warm, its not expensive and you don't give them much either, but it does help them a lot...

The only other thing you can do is use social media to put pressure into having someone do something about them, but if it goes wrong they could be moved anywhere, somewhere even worse...

No charity can do anything about it, they can only act when the guards ask them to do it or if say the horses were actually hurt or dying, same with dogs, cats, etc, charities have no actual powers to seize at all...
