Must say I'm surprised. We hear so much from many posters about all the wrongs in the game and all the people who are destroying the sport (and rightly so) yet this post seems strangely quiet. A stud farm guilty of mistreating its horses is absolutely shocking. It's been said many times that this game ultimately is about the horse . Yet there is hardly a post from anyone condemning this. Granted we don't have many facts but they have been found guilty . No word from any trainers or press . It's truly strange. Do this stud have horses at the Sibaya sale and if so who would be supporting them?

Really shocking what is been done where there are many people in this world including me that would absolutely love to be around such amazing animals that horses are.

I'm sure the horses would be much happier being bought by new owners than going back to the farm

How are you found guilty of essentially animal abuse and receive a suspended sentence ?? You think these people are suddenly going to have a change of heart and actually start looking after their horses ?
As Miss T said - I find it pretty strange that the owners and trainers that frequent the forum have remained decidedly quiet on this topic.
Fully agree with Mr Hawaii - let's hope they sell as many lots as possible - not for their own enrichment, but so the horses can hopefully go to decent homes.

.....apparently all these horses although under nourished due to consequences of the drought at the time were being fed sub standard lucerne due to feed supply shortages.....they were however free of ticks..... none of the horses were welfare cases......yet the proprietor had to admit that they were going through a tough time....now why name and shame here.....when apparently the case of the KZN breeder horses are found to be in far worse condition......:huh:
