I haven't heard that that they have Emma...you hear about something "like this" ( with regards to animal abuse, not necessarily equine) every now and then and you wonder did the perpetrators ever have a pup/kitten/dog/cat/goat???? I reckon not, and the people who are inclined to forgive and forget at the drop of a hat, ought have another glance....the thought of what those horses were subjected to...it really gives me the shits, our society here in the land of Oz is better than most and not as good as some, but what has happened there makes me want to throw up.
yours truly,
