i went for the first time. i enjoyed some parts looking about the stalls but on the trotting road it was appaling. a little boy got run over by a trotter racing up and down. he went in a ambulance i witnessed it it was horrible. also there was around 3 travellers constantly racing the poor horses looked sick the rspca were a load of rubbish too

i went. it was my first time to, have to say it wasnt as bad as i thought, all the horses i saw looked in good condition and there was lots of rspca, police, welfare for horses, vet and farrier on site

i had a good day even if walking round the stalls was in a vat of mud lol though i agree the road they trot on is scary if your not on the other side of fence and there was a few flogging them a bit too much but overall i thought it was well handled

i thought there was a lot of cobs looking well looked after. but the ones that were getting constantly trotted one was underweight and was sweating so much it looked really weak. also on the journey back to the car lots of ponies were teathered in which many ribs were showing. but as soon as that little boy got ran over i went home i mean it could of killed him

the rspca were watching these trotters and i stood there for 1 hour straight and throughout that time they were trotting constantly at full speed while the rspca didnt take any notice.
