Hi guys,
Thank so all so much for filling it in. I received a HUGE amount of responses in one night! I'm going to have to do a lot of statistical input to get this all sorted! I'm really grateful.
Alec, I'm glad a gave you something to think about. It's something that i've had constantly...
Hi everyone. You have all been amazing, i'm astounded by the amounts of responses I have received so a massive thank you!
To all those you have said they have 0 mares for breeding, I also answered the same. That question is there for those who intend to breed in the future but at the moment...
Hi everyone. I wonder if I could ask for your help in filling out my dissertation questionnaire from my BSc Equine Breeding and Stud Management course at Writtle College. It is asking why a mare owner would decide to breed from her and can be filled out by anyone considering breeding a foal at...

I don't have a horse that's a knobber, but a little border terrier that is currently cowering away from the tv remote... You know, 'cos those things are so scary when they change the the channel!
I just can't even begin to understand the mindset of the people that do these truelly sick things. I have honestly never wanted to hurt an animal in any way, the thought alone makes me feel sick and incredibly guilty!
If someone can do this to an animal then its almost just like a small step...
The eyewittness account (in a comment at the bottom of the story) is awfull! If they have the pictures they suggest then this has the ability to get alot worse still.
I did get this impression at first as well. However I think if the quotes came from news aimed at non-horsey people then this would be the angle they went for because a story about a girl losing her horse (admittedly through awful means) is not nearly as interesting.
I actually don't know what to say about this at all, I am so shocked! Manes and tails cut off! I am gobsmacked.
Let alone this poor woman who has put years of effort into her horse to have it cruelly taken from her for no reason other then to give some sick person their kicks.
God how scary for you! I'm really glad to hear that she's ok for now and I'm sure it will just be a case of her getting more and more better from now on.
Keep strong x
