Judith Evans is feeling angry.

I've thought LONG and HARD about this posting but I am sick and fed up of the RSPCA giving out all this crap - I am sorry if some of their genuine supporters are feeling threatened etc but please look long and hard and the truth will come out. So in the meantime, the following is an open letter to the RSPCA and all it's supporters of what actually happened on that fateful Saturday. I am sure the girls will post their recollections under and I will add them to this post.
WE ARE NOT LIARS, THIS IS THE WHOLE TRUTH AND WE HAVE WITNESSES TO PROVE IT.
14th July 2018
At 11.31 am I was requested by a local farmer who farms the land adjacent to Team Thor/Annette Nally’s yard to come and give my opinion and try to help the horses that were on the land – he said he thought there was a dead horse in the barn.
When I arrived on the premises I started looking at the horses in the 3 stables and found a mare with a foal of approx. three or four months – both were extremely emaciated and had no water or food, their bedding was filthy and covered in faeces and stank of urine. Next stable was a chestnut stallion with a heavy stable rug on – he was extremely emaciated and after doing a pinch test found him dehydrated – he again had no food or water and was eating his faeces.
In the third stable was a bay horse – he also had no food or water and was emaciated.
I moved round to the barn, which was padlocked, I looked through the gap in the door to see 3 horses, 2 x chestnuts and a bay, all emaciated with no food – I moved round the side of the barn and looked thru the slats to see a chestnut horse laying dead on the filthy floor in the same area as the three horses. There were lots of faeces around his backend and his body was bloated – he had been dead for a while.
I moved to investigate the horses in the fields – in the first field was a dark coloured horse who was on his own – he looked in poor condition. The adjacent field had two coloured ponies – a mare and her foal who were thin but not as poor as the other horses. In the same field standing by the water trough was a chestnut horse with a fly rug on – its protruding ribs/hips etc could be seen through the rug, its feet were in a dreadful condition and he was standing with wire wrapped round his legs, there was no hay in the field and the water trough was empty.
In the adjacent field – which shared the same empty water trough – were five horses – four were wearing NEW ZEALAND type waterproof rugs – every single horse was emaciated and their feet were in a dreadful condition. The temperature was over 26deg that day and when we removed the NZ rugs, the horses had long term sweat marks and rug rubs over their protruding bones. The horse with the blue NZ rug had what looked like a bite mark on its neck and the flies were bothering it. We videod everything before removing the horses rugs and started giving them water and hay – there was NO HAY on site.!!!! There were 16 live horses and one dead horse on this site of 5 acres – BHS suggest 1 horse per acre and that’s when there is adequate grazing!!!
I immediately I tried phoning World Horse Welfare but sadly only getting their answer machine stating they were open Mon to Friday and would deal with it in office hours – this was an emergency so I rang the Police – got an incident number etc and begged them to send officers and someone to help – they said they would contact the RSPCA – I BEGGED THEM TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ANY OTHER WELFARE ORGANISATION BUT NOT THE RSPCA, BECAUSE I HAD NO FAITH IN THEM!!!! Having seen and read about previous welfare cases and contacted the RSPCA on another unrelated welfare case and the RSPCA NEVER turning up – I was naturally VERY apprehensive.
At 12.36 the RSPCA (0114 450 3520) rang to get further information of the exact location of the site. I told the operatior again in no uncertain terms that I didn’t have any faith in their ability to do anything about these horses and my reason why. She assured me they would get this sorted and my final words to her were ‘YOU PROVE ME WRONG BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T THE PROVERBIAL WILL HIT THE FAN!!!!’
I had an appointment in Droitwich so left the girls giving the horses water and hay.
At 15.30 I had a phone call saying the RSPCA were going to allow the woman Annette Nally to continue to look after these horses.
At 15.51 I went down to the yard and noted the RSPCA were there along with the owner of the land Andrew Herbert – enraged at what I had been told I requested the RSPCA officer meet me across the field – he eventually walked over along with Andrew Herbert and I asked the Inspector on the scene if he could give us an idea of what they were going to do – he said he didn’t need to inform me of anything – I said as a courtesy to me for being the person who was first involved with reporting these horses and getting the RSPCA involved it would be helpful to let us know what their intentions were.
Again he refused to tell me anything – I asked whether he realised this was a rescue centre Team Thor – he said he didn’t know that it was – I asked whether he knew the person running Team Thor – Annette Nally – he said no but that they (the RSPCA) had prosecuted someone to do with Team Thor a couple of years ago.
He informed me that the owner (Annette Nally) would be coming back at approximately 21.00hrs tonight she was on the south coast rescuing another animal!! I said dear God not to bring the poor animal back here to this awful situation. I asked him to give me assurances that the RSPCA would NOT HAND OVER ANY OF THESE HORSES TO ANNETTE NALLY’S CARE – he said that was nothing to do with me!!!!
On Sunday 15th July around 14.00 I visited the site and spoke to a female Senior Area Officer, she assured me that the horses that had left were being cared for on another RSPCA welfare site. I asked whether any had been returned to Annette Nally, she said no. I also informed her that as I was one of the first to find the horses and in fact it was myself that rang the Police, I would be more than happy to give a statement to help them with a cruelty prosecution against this woman - she said they would be in touch. TO DATE NO ONE FROM THE RSPCA HAS CONTACTED ME.
I have heard lots of awful things since Sunday about the possible whereabouts of some of the horses and who's horses they were. That is not for me to post, others have evidence etc to do that.
This is FACTUAL, I HAVEN’T MADE ANYTHING UP AND I HAVE PROOF OF EVERYTHING STATED ABOVE.
I am sure the girls who were here over the Saturday and Sunday will add their statements to the bottom here.
WE KNOW HOW MANY HORSES WE FOUND ON THE SITE, WE KNOW HOW MANY LEFT ON THE TRANSPORTER ON SUNDAY AND WE KNOW AND HEARD MANY WERE SHOT OR REMOVED TO ANOTHER OF ANNETTE NALLY’S YARDS.
SO RSPCA WITH YOUR ‘OFFICIAL STATEMENTS’ WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH – IN THE END IT WILL COME OUT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROBE AND ASK AND COLLECT EVIDENCE AGAINST THOSE WHO ALLOWED THESE POOR VUNERABLE HORSES SUFFER IN SUCH AN AWFUL WAY.
ON YOUR HEAD BE IT!!!!!
