New animal welfare legislation

[DD]

does this affect assisted livery yards? or dealers (schedule 3) ? or stunt horses eg Sheamus?

 

[SEL]

Interesting on the dealers side - I can't work out if this covers the sale of horses as well.

At one point when this was up for consultation I thought they were going to be tougher on the land allocation per horse, but they seemed to have backed off on that.

yes its ashame about that SEL. horse welfare has a long way to go it still seems.

Opposite of a mule - by a horse, out of a donkey.
