A friend cycled past there recently. I can’t believe this is still ongoing.
Perhaps getting in touch with some of the horse sanctuaries in the New Forest can shed some light on what the process should be.
Having said that, their situation is most definitely neglect and goes against DEFRA’s guidelines on how horses should be cared for and they are missing main things, like shelter, water and clothing in the winter. Food control is acceptable if they’re not skinny but exercise and regular maintenance is important for their well-being according to the document. I’m not a horse specialist but I do think that this is wrong and those poor horses deserve better!
