Ok I've not read all your replies but having seen recently that the rspca alone rescued around 800 horses I think in 2013 with that figure set to be even more this year they cannot simply keep paying out for all these horses. So as most charities are full if say the rspca were too, which...

This part I agree with, it's highly likely that they've known about them, but whilst the management of them may have previously been poor, there was insufficient evidence of not meeting their needs. A photo of a dead carcase is always heart rendering, but as the vet has said it was too...

Equimax does not do encysted redworm.... I agree with others, 5 day guard and follow it up later with either a double dose pyrantel or an equitape. Alternatively have your vet give anti inflamatory or steroid prior to a dose of pramox.... If in doubt speak to your vet...

I believe all the equine charities are signed up to the National Equine Welfare Council which is trying to sort the root cause here: http://www.newc.co.uk/

with 300 I doubt uk wise there are that many spaces in centres! :( :( If you look at the RSPCA site in 2012 they took over 700 equines in, there are 281 here alone in one fail swoop! 50 were removed here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-25006452 costing the society £300,000 to...

completely agree with all above 300 removed, 19 of them into redwings care, who's paying for the rest??? that's one hell of a bill.... :( :( :( I was talking to my other half tonight about the current situation and the law needs an immediate change that any unidentified equine is seized/pts'd...
