My neighbours really are the pits 🥺 Animal welfare called as it had been reported that the equines had no food, no water and no shelter....REALLY! The SSPCA no longer visit after visiting 5 times, they realised it was simply malicious neighbours. Then they moved onto the World Horse Welfare, who visited, saw that all the equines were in great condition and had food and water. They spoke to the SSPCA and likewise, they no longer entertain them. So, running out of options, they called Animal Welfare from the council. Now I have my Riding School Establishment license, so the horses and facilities, are all checked as part of the license. She drove into the yard, passing a number of horses standing at one of the 5 hay stations, walked through the barn, noting some the horses inside (beside the water butt's!) and witnessed the rest either in the woodland, the donkey shelter or at the other hay stations... this isn't to mention the visits from SEPA, environmental health and the planning department 🙄 Oh that's not including the one who posts pictures on FB of horses standing in the field and she edits out the ring feeder full of hay and says the horses are starving 😳
Really, do they have nothing better to do? It's a witch hunt, pure and simple. There are just a small number of neighbours, one ex neighbour and one ex livery who do their best to try drop me in it. Yet not one complaint has led to any negative findings or wrong doings. Why can't we all just live and let live, I do no harm to them, yet they actively seek to spread their hatred.
I truly hope that no animal is in real need of help when there people waste the time of these under resourced officers. 🙏
Some pictures of equines eating, drinking and sheltering 🙈
