Amazing they get away with it. If it was a cattle or sheep farmer running animals and dumping bodies like this they would be in jail for it!

stallions no longer are legally obliged to be licensed, my first stallion many years ago was licenced by the ministry of agriculture, a vet came and gave him a basic vetting and opinion on confo etc., the licencing was abandoned later maybe because horse are not considered agricultural animals in uk.

my present stallion is licenced by his breed society to enable his foals to be registered.

i personally think all stallions and breeders of horses should be licenced, the current tragic situation is prove enough for anybody, i should have thought.

In France, I am regarded as an 'agriculturalist' because I breed horses. I do not need a licence for my stallion but

all horses must be registered on the National Database SIRE

all movements of horses must be recorded either in a book or now registered on line with National Stud. If a book is used, then one page per horse which must be signed by the local Mayor.

all 'keepers' of horses must be registered

stallions must have a breeding book issued at the beginning of each year, all coverings are notified to National Stud on-line and if for some reason the stallion does not have a book foal births must be registered on-line within 15 days.

People who breed from horses who have no SIRE number can only obtain 'pet ID' type passports for their foals and they cannot then compete in anything other than Western Riding or Le Trec.

The National Stud also protects breeders by refusing to issue passports if covering fees have not been paid to the stallion owners.
 
Wow, learn a little or a lot in my case, every day.

Just an update, a lot of mares And foals have been rounded up. Pistol shots on yard have been heard, had loose horses up and down the lanes for two weeks. Just to keep you up to date on my area...
 
However sad that may be, and it is, it's the better way.

Somehow, someone, somewhere, needs to have a hold on the owners, and point out to them, quite clearly, that this really wont do.

No one who shoots horses enjoys doing it, NO ONE. I've done it, and hate it.
