WARNING - THIS THREAD CONTAINS DISTRESSING PHOTOS. PLEASE DO NOT SCROLL DOWN UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO SEE THEM I'm adding this warning as people need to be aware they are not nice. In 2008, me and a friend were taken to Clwyd's place to rescue/rehome a couple of ponies, and bring on as a project. What we found was completely unexpected! We were taken around his property by himself. we then went around by our selves, pretending to show interest in a couple of the mares. The property we went to was different to the one shown on T.V so i am presuming his house and land etc, were repossessed. The following pictures are NOT for the faint hearted!! The little grey mare with the broken leg was being jumped on by about 4 colts! The carcasses were only 2 of many! The RSPCA later found 10+ on his land! The grey mare was destroyed before the rspca arrived.

I am actually speechless! I am still not a fan of the RSPCA but obviously this makes me think the show was a clever publicity stunt staged for the benefit of Michelle and Clwyd!

I've not been convinced of the whole thing from the beginning, you've only confirmed my suspicions unfortunately.

And here was me thinking hes was quite a sweet if slightly crazy man, funny how the media can portray someone in a completely different light. The truth always comes out.

Definitely a publicity act from my point of view! Also, I was only 14 at the time!

Just a tip- perhaps leave a bigger gap between the warning and the first pic- as TBH im no wimp, but would not have wanted to see that, how do you ever get over seeing that in real life and if that isnt enough for people to cut down on breeding i dont know what is That poor Grey- i wonder if she was once someones much loved pony. poor girl.

Holy s**t. That really isn't for the faint hearted. I don't know what you said when you were there but I don't think I could have held my tongue.
Ive honestly never seen anything that bad in my life.
I'm pretty disgusted in Chanel 4 for portraying him in the manner they did. He deserves to live in squaller.

We didn't have the balls to say anything there and then. We were genuinely scared of the guy, and were tempted to walk home after meeting him, as we were worried about being taken by him! Instead we played it cool, took sneaky pictures, went home and reported him to the RSPCA. We then had to move our horses from their fields as the guy who took us there, knew where they were kept, and had already asked us not to report him! How could we not!

Living quite locally to Clwyd, I too have heard from a few FB friends that all is not as it seems so this does not surprise me unfortunately

Fair play to you, I suppose he could have come across as a scary guy especially when there are no cameras. Must have been awful for you.

I haven't commented on the thread on the programme or facebook pages ect but these pics are truly horrific! That poor grey mare! How could anyone that is a horselover (enless you have mental issues which may be the case) leave them like this without being totally distraught! Even if you don't have the money to have something pts call the rspca yourself and get it put out of its pain and misery!

What is the name of the FB page?

Post by Guest2013 on Jan 12, 2013 20:38:12 GMT
By the state of the property, with also a few cows/bulls, a scary looking dog tied up outside. .. I'm pretty sure he would have had a gun, so he would have been able to shoot the mare himself, which would have been better!

And anyone wondering why it has taken a few days for these pictures to be released, I had to find my old laptop and change hard drives over to get them! I felt VERY strongly about the programme... And people's views need to be changed!!

Oh dear. Would seem like a lot of people have been taken in. Myself included. Just goes to show you how a bit of careful editing can show a different picture

Horrific!!!! the grazing itself looks ok so the condition of the animals must have been worm burden and the face on the little grey mare haunts me as she looks so kind the man wants torturing!!! I'm no tree hugger but this is dispicable!!

OMG! If these pictures are truly Clwyd's horses, I am truly horrified.
That poor little grey mare, where were the RSPCA when these were taken?
