If this person is as arrogant as you say, then perhaps a call to the ILPH should be on the cards. Can they actually do anything?

Hence why Im asking if this is cruelty.

The condition of the horse in the pics is cruelty - being asked to carry a rider (irrespective of the riders weight and way of riding) compounds the issue!!! REPORT EM!!!

There's weight and there's weight. Again it comes down to getting the right type of horse, overweight people have every right to ride -but they do not have the right to cause an animal pain or discomfort. I think this mare would be in pain so definitely report it although out will come the pc brigade and it probably wont even get a call out...

You don't have to give your name and adress when you report I don't think, and you could block your telephone number when you call. I agree, I wouldn't want to see anyone riding the poor thing.

I suggest you call the ILPH from a phonebox if you are worried about not remaining anonymous. I understand that this is difficult for you but that poor girl just looks half dead! what does your YO think? is there anyone else who can help you in speaking to this person?

I reported someone once. I did give my name, address and telephone number, but it was all kept confidential. ILPH actually rang me the day they were visiting the horse in question as well.

I would definitely report that horse, she looks appalling.

OK, i haven't seen the pics, but surely if you think the mare is is poor enough condition to be reported as a cruelty case WITHOUT the rider, then I think you should call.

Don't YOs have a duty to report welfare cases these days? Please don't tell me this woman is the YO...

In fairness she has put on a little bit of weight since those pics, they were about 3 months ago, but that doesnt change her conformation.

she Does love her horse in her own way, but it doesnt change the facts or her ignorance.
