My friend has been keeping her horse on a really badly run farm trying to be a DIY livery yard. Are there any regulatory bodies she can contact or complain to as she has photographic evidence of such things there as asbestos roofing in the stable block, cat and dog faeces not cleaned up, worm ridden cats (about 20), falling down barbed wire fences, gates tied shut with string (not on hinges), dangerous machinery and rubbish lying about. She was left traumatised after her horse got wrapped up in a makeshift fence and is refusing to pay him a months rent she 'owes' as she feels he did not fulfill his obligations when supposedly running a business. There was never any contract of any sort but somehow he still manages to keep some liveries there, mainly people that can't afford to rent elsewhere. It seems criminal that these places can exist as the farmer has no knowledge of equines and doesn't seem to care much for their welfare.
