I'm sure everybody is aware of the recent court ruling which has decreed that 29 of the animals rescued from Spindles Farm in Amersham must be returned to the Gray family, four members of which are awaiting on trial on offences under the Animal Welfare Act (2006). A further 82 horses must be removed from the sanctuaries where they are currently housed, and sold at public auction on May 3rd.
Obviously this ruling defies any logic and, while it will be hard to overturn, we have to do what we can. So please could I ask you all to take a couple of minutes to add your name to the online petition which has been organised by the National Equine Welfare Council.

Anything that you could do to publicise the petition further would also be much appreciated - friends, family etc. A link to the petition will be going on our website as soon as possible to target our members.
Please add your name - it will only take a couple of minutes and the horses involved deserve better treatment than this.
