I have to say this is bloody awful and prior to reading through this, I had no real idea about WW. Hillview Farm animal sanctuary don't seem any better, the woman who 'runs' that one claims to have 600 hundred animals over 8 sites around essex

She does at least have staff which WW didn’t have. It very unlikely she did any anything herself with those nails!I have to say this is bloody awful and prior to reading through this, I had no real idea about WW.

Hillview or Hillside (the latter is a bit further north though)

Oh no, so sorry I have got the name entirely wrong. It's Tower Hill stables animal sanctuary, that I suspect something is not quite right about.

I've just been told that 9 dead horses were found on one site It sounds like the situation was much worse than most people imagined. I really hope that shes prosecuted to the full extent of the law both for the abuse and the financial irregularities. How anyone who was involved in this, helped at the yard, defended her and/or donated sleeps at night, I'll never know!

Its sounds like she is already playing the mental health card (not meaning to offend anyone). I hope authorities see through it or at least investigate it properly (mental health that is)

Those poor ponies. Taken from bad situations to even worse . There is no line of defence for this level of abuse. Please keep the updates coming, she has to pay for this.

I’m not certain this is going to be as dramatic as we think. The RSPCA statement doesn’t say anything about seizing or an investigation, nor does it ask for anyone with information. This could have been a voluntary surrender, in which case it’s unlikely they’ll prosecute at all.

I understand that maleeka, but I think it will be, reading witness statements who were on site the last few days, breaks my heart.
This has been going on in the background for most of the year.

'witness statements' I didn't think anything had been released yet? (apart from the vague newspaper article last night)

Where are these witness statements please?

Yes, what witness statements?

Maybe witness statement isn't the right description, but they can be found on a number of the posts on Facebook.
One in particular is the lady who spent the day there trying to save her horse, I think it was on the OAR post.
I didn't mean it to sound like I had more information than anyone else, bad wording on my part.

Some of the WW admins are on there commenting protesting their innocence to people they banned and branded haters when they asked questions on the WW page.

Do we know what happened to Sandra? Has she done a runner?

Remarkably similar to the equine disaster outed at Little Mill, Monmouthshire in 2013 with its catalogue of abuse and dead horses

Had them on facebook for a while, did not like what i saw and heard, so deleted them. Such a sad end for some of the supposedly rescued ponies, could not be more pleased this dodgy rescue is no more.I really hope these people are never allowed near another horse, or any other animals.

Just looking at the pics of the new batch of foals, you could tell that at least one had serious problems, yet we were told they had all been vet checked. (Feral, but managed to vet check them all?) Pics of Marley (or Marlin) were put on the site, and immediately removed. Marley was handed over to WWS as owner couldn't cope and thought the horse would be safe. In Jan the horse looked great....in October it looked like a rescue. Owner "played" it very well, not saying anything until vet check. The horse was deemed unfit to be moved at that time!!!! I said that she needed at the very least a good, experienced yard manager because all the foals were in the yard, which looked like a total disgrace and at some places downright dangerous..... while ONE person mucked out the barn...but was shouted down....she knows what she's doing, blah, blah. No, she didn't and horses suffered because of it. Why no "lives" now? Why did the Rspca put a Section 9 on the yard ages ago? Lots of lies and misdirection by admin, who, by doing this sort of thing, are themselves culpable.

Gosh Dree you’ve certainly changed your tune. You were one of those defending Sandra to the hilt earlier on in this very post, damning everyone who dared question WWS.
Seemed like those who raised concerns and asked questions were right to.
