In the horse world, you will find these sort of low lifes that think it’s okay to mistreat and harm the animals. With the volume of horses going through that farm, who knows how many they’ve mistreated and abused.

Hi Jan

Apparently he “cared” for over 2000 horses a year so he must have been selling on but to who is anyones guess.

I must admit that when I first heard about this case I did my usual soap box ‘string em up’ bit and the evidence hasn’t particularly changed my mind in this case but we do have to think carefully about setting legal precidents (not sure if that’s how you spell it).

My family have been in the equine business for years and we used to have a old pony with an illness, bless her she was as thin as a rake but still had quality of life. Mother often commeted that if she was a stranger passing our fields she would be tempted to call the RSPCA. Of course it’s a different case, a quick phone call to our vet would show she was being well cared for but if we start banning business owners from keeping pets the moment they are accused of animal cruelty (without being found guilty of anything) then where would it end?

Certainly in a case like this I would like to see the court order that the business can carry on under supervision of the RSPCA until it comes to trial. Perhaps that is what was done but it wasn’t reported?

I know a horse died and a foal at his farm since the case began but in both cases the RSPCA said neither case was due to cruelty, so they must be watching him carefully.

The legal system beggars belief, this man should not have been able to continue trading, pending the trial, and causing more suffering. How many more horses has he acquired since he was cleaned out in January 2008?
I wonder, given John Parker’s evidence that the defendant regularly wormed, if records have been examined at Mr Gray’s wormer supplier? Whenever I purchase wormers for my horses there is always a record made at the retailer.
What was the man doing?! He can’t have been selling on, just accumulating horses, those that were said to be in good condition must have been recent purchases.
He needs to be committed under the mental health act.

HANGING WOULD BE TOO GOOD FOR THIS SHOWER OF SCUM BUT I WOULD LOVE TO TIE THE ROPES AROUND THEIR FILTHY NECKS.
