boy oh boy
so he is a fraudster
i wonder what his mitigating evidence was
don't tell me
it must be the vets fault
for forgetting to bring his pen along

ps
i hope he doesn't embarrass the system any further by appealing

I think these incidents are a sign of a deeper problem with smaller yards struggling to survive and cutting corners out of desperation.

I feel very sorry for him, he seems a nice man.

I disagree. I think its just an attitude that its just a hassle and a victimless crime . Millions could be lost to the industry if there is an outbreak of Flu.
Likewise people knowingly breaking the AHS transport rules because they "know" their horse not affected could set back the international trade a couple of years but they still do it so that they can get to a sale or show etc.
Its just selfish narrow-minded thinking, probably no malice intended, but thoughtless that they could affect many others livelihoods if things went wrong. If everyone did the same then there would be an flu outbreak annually, no question.
To me its a far worse crime than drugging your horse to the eyeballs because at lest then you are only risking your own skin.
