it makes me sick to my stomach, I've passed this around my facebook, my whole yard are aware of it and have passed it on to others who'll pass it on again etc etc

it disgusts me, that poor horse

I posted about it in NL, the owner is a friend of mine and only a handful of miles away

Sorry Flintmeg didn't see your post, thoughts are with your friend and RIP dear stallion.

This is just appalling. I had a message about this earlier but didn't realise the extent of what happened, it makes me sick, I hope they catch whoever did this and do the same to them. Poor horse, thoughts with the owner who must be devastated. Will definately be being vigilant, we're very close by to where this happened.

So sick...hope they are caught

My friends live in the same area and she emailed me early today to say that when she went to her field to check on her broodmares, the gates were wide open and no sign of the mares at all. Thankfully she found them out on the road, all okay, but is now wondering whether it was the same people. How horrid for the stallion and his owners.

I hope the sick twisted individuals that did this are caught.

Horrendous

RIP Stallion

I have also just heard about this via a friend; I'm not far away. It makes me wonder, have there been any other odd happenings locally??
Just before Christmas we found my mare with a badly ripped nostril. 14 stitches and a £400 vet bill and she's fine, if a bit scarred. We put it down to high jinks in the field as the yearling was also on the wrong side of the electric fence (vet thought nostril bitten and yanked!) but now a niggling voice makes you wonder if it was the same evil bunch practicing/disturbed/not yet thought of sedative. If anyone else has any odd experiences, perhaps we could share here and pass on to police if it looks like we might have useful additional info???? Not going to muddy the waters by reporting an isolated incident that most likely was a field accident; too important to catch these people fast.

I heard about this via Facebook, it is absoultely sick and I think whoever did this is seriously disturbed!!

Something similar happened to a pony where I rode in Bournemouth where the pony was slahed with a sharp object numerous times and then died from shock.

I really hope they find they did it, but I doubt they will

 

[flowerlady]

This is terrible I've only just heard about it and googled this
