Stallion Savaged with a Knife in Stithians, Cornwall.

[Roisin_M]

Between the hours of 4.30pm sunday and 12 noon monday, a two and a half year old Friesian Stallion was sedated and savaged with a knife in his field. He had his eye and genitals removed, his teeth smashed and his throat cut. They also removed his mane & tail. A mare and foal in the same field were unharmed. Police are warming Cornish horse owners to be vigilant!

I heard it on Radio 2 news. When they catch the culprit, I hope they will do the same to him.

Absoloutley disgusting ! That poor poor horse and i dread to think how his owner is feeling... What does this person get out of doing this... It's scary, as you worry about your own horses and if they are safe. I really hope they find the people whom are doing this to these poor horses.

Disgusting. What with the one in Wales too. Very very scary indeed that these sick people are walking amongst us.

There is quite a big discussion on Radio Cornwall ATM. Somebody inquired as to how this person would have gotten hold of the sedation and equipment that was used?

Just a thought, i know us horse ladies are tough, but some manic wondering about with a knife, what might he do if disturbed. I know I am often seeing to ours in semi light with just a head torch on singing to myself. So please everyone just be that bit more cautious, I know we like to think we could kill them with our bare hands but reality would be different. So take care and here is to catching the b######d

This is so scary and brings back terrible memories of when we had a maniac in Hampshire years ago.... you never knew what was best, to have your horses out or in!

What with the similarity to the attack in Wales 5 days ago as well you have to wonder where next. I am worried sick about my boy

Just read this, its horrific, this is not the first friesian to be attacked, I read of a gelding/colt with its throat cut on the net at the end of last year (2011) further north I think.

God i have two friesian girls of my own.

My heart goes out to the owners of these horses.

There are some nasty sick people out there!

Stay safe everyone.
