🚨 PONY STOLEN FROM RESCUE SANCTUARY STILL MISSING EIGHT DAYS LATER AS CHARITY HIT BY CRUEL RANSOM SCAM

A miniature rescue pony stolen from an animal sanctuary in Ireland remains missing eight days after her disappearance, as staff endure a torrent of cruel hoaxes, fake ransom demands and sleepless nights while desperately searching for her.

Eleanor, a grey and white Falabella pony, vanished from the grounds of My Lovely Horse Rescue in Edenderry, County Offaly, over the June bank holiday weekend. The rescue says she was discovered missing on 1 June and believes she was deliberately taken from the site.

The tiny pony had spent the past two years in safety after being rescued from a neglect situation in Dublin by Gardaí and local authority officers. Before arriving at the sanctuary, she had already experienced hardship. Now, those who saved her fear she may once again be at the mercy of people with little regard for her welfare.

Martina Kenny, co-founder of My Lovely Horse Rescue, said staff spent days searching surrounding farmland, deploying drones and checking every possible location before concluding Eleanor had not wandered off.

Evidence at the scene appeared to support those fears. A section of perimeter fencing had been flattened, leading rescuers to believe someone had entered the sanctuary and removed the pony.

The disappearance has devastated staff and volunteers, many of whom helped nurse Eleanor back to health after her rescue.

"It’s very distressing," Kenny told RTÉ. "A lot of the guys at My Lovely Horse are crying. They can't sleep. They're searching everywhere."

As the search continues, the charity says it has also become the target of a particularly cruel scam.

Following Eleanor's disappearance, individuals contacted the rescue claiming to have information about her whereabouts and sent images supposedly showing the pony in a stable. The messages were accompanied by demands for money.

According to Kenny, the photographs were clearly AI-generated and appeared to have been created using images previously shared by the charity online.

For a rescue already dealing with the trauma of losing one of its animals, the fake ransom demands have only deepened the distress.

Anyone with information about Eleanor's whereabouts is urged to contact My Lovely Horse Rescue on [phone].

An important post to share please - it concerns an ex-police officer (PC Christi Hill) who has been incorrectly named all over social media as one of the officers involved in the Henry Nowak case.

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.

Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.

A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

“Twenty-five years ago, a story broke in Chiang Mai, Thailand about a Buffalo who ran for her life from a slaughterhouse. Covered in blood and with a deep wound around her neck, she bolted down the motorway, terrified and desperate. Local radio stations warned the public to stay alert ~ calling her “a mad Buffalo,” with some reporters even labeling her a “crazy ghost Buffalo,” claiming she was crashing into cars as she fled.

We rushed to the scene and found her drenched in blood, a bullet having grazed her forehead ~ thankfully, it hadn’t pierced her skull. We fought to save her life, refusing to send her back to the slaughterhouse, even as angry voices demanded compensation for their damaged cars and called for her to be killed.

With help from kind-hearted people, we rescued her.

The very next morning, in her new home, she gave birth to a baby boy. We named her Mae Sroy, after the scar around her neck, and her son Chokdee, meaning “Lucky.”

Since then, Mae Sroy and her son have lived peacefully among the Buffalo herd at Save Elephant Foundation.

Now very old—Buffaloes typically live around 26–27 years ~ Mae Sroy can no longer walk with the herd. Her son has grown up to become the leader, while Mae Sroy has moved closer to our shelter for more attentive care. She now eats only finely ground, soft food, as her teeth have worn down with age.

Then came the recent flood. Though her shelter was on higher ground, a sudden flash flood swept over the barriers, destroying everything ~ including Mae Sroy’s home. She was gone.

We searched everywhere, fearing the worst.

Our hearts were heavy, believing our beloved old buffalo could not have survived the raging waters. But on the third morning, a miracle happened:

We found her ~ lying in the mud where her shelter once stood. She had come home. When she saw us, she called out, and we cried with joy. I ran to her, and she answered with soft, happy grunts, full of life and relief. Mae Sroy had survived once again.

She truly is a Buffalo with nine lives.

This is the story of one life we saved. At our sanctuary, every animal has a name, a story, and a soul. They are not just Buffaloes or Elephants ~ they are living beings with meaning and worth.

Mae Sroy once ran from death to protect the life growing inside her. And now, once again, she has run from death to protect her own. She is a true survivor, and we will care for Grandma Mae Sroy with all our hearts for the rest of her days” ~ Lek Chailert. 🙏
