There used to be a large area next to Brands Hatch race circuit where there were numerous horses 'dumped' for want of a better word. They were always in a bad state and I'm aware that a couple of stolen horses turned up there too. Well my question is where have they gone?
I drove passed the location today and the land has obviously been bought and there is lots of work going on and all of the horses have disappeared, anyone any the wiser as to where they went?
 
They "belong" (notionally) to the Dunns at Dartford, so presumably they have let them loose along a field somewhere in Green Street Green, which is what they did previously. They have been off the land for a few weeks now, as the work has started to clear the land and build on it.
 
On March 22nd, 2 weeks after 14 day notices were placed on the fields at Fawkham Road and Crowhurst Lane, the Land Owner accompanied by the police, RSPCA officers and other horse charities moved in to clear the fields of livestock. The Fawkham Road herd were seized and have been taken to rehoming centres and the others on Crowhurst Lane were claimed and removed by their owners after they had been penned in by the animal charities involved.

No more "field of death" so I suppose they will just use their other fields locally for the same awful purpose.
