Also, Sobers (horse who was banned for 40 days as a non tryer in his care) won first time out for new trainer today.

The book thrown at at him I would hope!!

That's shocking total neglect & they must have been looking at that horse every day I presume ?? How could they fail to see it was in pain ??

I personally wouldnt blame the staff - I know how he treats them! They wouldnt have had a lot of choice in what to do.

Then that's even more disgusting

 

[ExRacers]

Certainly is - completely disgusting!

Awful... I rode past his yard on the endurance rid I did in near Durham, I'd have spat at the place if I'd known. It doesn't exactly look like he's short of a bob or two with that place, I'm sure he could have called a vet out...

Poor horse.

They need to make an example of someone and hit them hard with a penalty, I bet there are worse cases but this is high profile...

Gosh that is awful, poor horse.

 

[vicijp]

I think they will be glad to nail him for whatever they can. I have known of things that go on there that would make the most hardened horseperson chuck up.
I think he is guaranteed to lose his training licence. Mickey Quinn lost his for a lot less.

Oh my gosh that is horrible

R.I.P horse. Why do people have to be like this? It's awful how now nearlly every week you read about horses being mal treated

It's just sickening.

I see he was buying horses at Doncaster yesterday so he cant be expecting much to happen

 

[Alibear]

Well reading Coppertops post looks like he's got away with it , the fine amount is pathetic.

As for the judge saying there was no intent behind the cruelty hmm I don't believe that , I would think professionals all knew damn well what they were doing.

 

[Gingernags]

Its ridiculous, they had a real chance there to get a decent punishment in and show everyone in this country that cruelty won'd be tolerated, but they cock it up.

Ah well... kind of expected it...

 

[brighteyes]

Doesn't anyone 'know' anybody who could go and 'see' him and 'explain clearly' that abuse of horses is not acceptable?
