And why people are shocked that no one has done anything about him and even now the response is lukewarm at best. Hmmmmmm

Has the Daily Mail got hold of this yet?
I loathe the paper but once they shine their light on something it can make a positive (or often negative - but I don’t think that would be the case here) difference
ETA: checked and looks like no, he and his behaviour are only mentioned in the horse press…matter of time until the broader press take note

Fully agreed, these horses are being very sweet about the torture they´re enduring. It´s really depraved to consider only the suspension of Parra and not a full prosecution.

This is sadistic, nothing short of torture. If you treated a human this way you’d be jailed.

He should be jailed for treating a horse that way. Poor William - that was absolutely horrific and should definitely have resulted in criminal charges. As should the rest of that disgraceful behaviour.

I agree he's a sadist and should be in prison. Hopefully, his behaviour towards his employees will get him some jail time.

Agreed. There is no place in society for someone who treats animals this way.

I am sceptical that anything will change quickly. Long term attitudes may change but given that someone like I.W. is happy to be associated with Helgstrand and known abusers are still out there I suspect it is all lip service from the FEI.

I am increasingly wondering if we should be using horses for anything.
