Remember that Daily Mail Story of the pony in the living room?

I am also tweeting celebs. Have done a few this morning, including Lord Sugar and Ian Solmerholder (he rides and is a huge supporter of Animal charities, he plays Damon in The Vampire Diaries if anyone was wondering)

Ive just googled him as I dont watch Vampire Diaries and didnt know who he was, how gorgous is he?

Im not familiar with Twitter and dont use it but well done those of you who are spreading the word.
 
May have missed it in the thread, but has anyone contacted the local paper/radio station etc where these people are? (I don't know what area they are in)
 
That's a parody account.

Has anybody approached her local council (Environmental health, ponies in the garden?? and the planning department) also keep at trading standards.

Sadly you'll get her over rule breaking and money before you'll ever get her over welfare.

I think you are probably correct. Just wish that someone who had a good chance of doing something about this weeks and weeks ago never took the opportunity to take them down then!

But onward and upward, this Rescue needs to be stopped and this person/family banned from owning/keeping animals for a very longtime.
 
I don't do twitter but Kaley Cuoco from the big bang theory is an equestrian too so someone might want to tweet her?
well done every one for spreading the word! Tessybear, watchdog is a good idea!

It has been mentioned that various welfare organisations have been contacted and say that something is being done. If people involved are being monitored/investigated/whatever they probably can only go at a certain speed

Agreed. After all it is imperative she is stopped for good and not allowed to start all over again :(
 
Hello everyone,

Following my raising concerns directly with the WHW, I am able to let you know that they have confirmed that the situation is in hand with them, the RSPCA and Animal Health; all working with the owner to resolve any concerns identified.

That, to me, would seem like a step in the right direction. And the kind of response that many were hoping for.

Hmmmmm.....I don't like the sound of 'working with her.' She needs prosecuting, not helping IMO.

I think that at this stage, it is probably to be expected. Although I'm sure we would all agree that several of the horses should have been seized yesterday.

The wheels of welfare run slowly, unfortunately. However, the fact that confirmation has been given of the involvement of the various welfare organisations should give us some satisfaction.

As I hear more, I will of course be happy to update.
 
At least its a start and someone has paid attention and looking into it, i suppose its only after they 'help' and its no better that they can act to remove the various horses and ponies
 
It is a start, I suspect an improvement notice has been served which is probs why she is desperately trying to offload ponies now.

The agencies have to stick to the rules unfortunately, it is not their fault, the law demands that people be given a chance to improve. The law can sometimes be an ass.

There are a lot of eyes on this woman now, she will not get away no matter how fast she tries to run.
 
I contacted watchdog -I'm sooo angry that she has created these horses misery to line her own pocket. Worst thing was the sister was on fb (clwyd Davies truth page) encouraging people to buy ponies from Beeston to 'save' them - ps I messaged her a link to this page and the pictures so she knows what scum of the earth the horse community know she is.
 
I'm not on facebook nor twitter so not much help (plus I live over the water), but I think it's great what everyone has done here to raise the profile of this case. What's worrying (apart from the state of the horses), is that she'll continue to operate her business, that is relying on donations to outbid genuine buyers. I don't suppose it's illegal, but it sure seems unethical. I don't think a dealer should pose as a rescue, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. So, even if the various welfare organisations get involved it's unlikely that they can stop her if she follows their advice over the wellbeing of the horses.
