That's really devastating. And worse to hear that after all our efforts, no real intervention took place. Particularly from the land owners (Thames Water) who are allowing this to occur on their site. Maybe it does need to go to press for it to be truly acknowledged as an issue of animal abuse.
I cycled past a few weeks back and the horses looked a lot healthier than the previous years but I couldn't tell whether they were the same horse or just replaced with new ones? Sad to think they are potentially kept there through the winter like that too.

One of the foals fell into the canal last Saturday night and couldn't get back out. It was very distressed and so was it's mum. Luckily passers-by managed to pull it back out after several attempts. But it's only a question of time before another one falls in and drowns as the barbed wire fence around the field is broken in places.
