www.worldhorsewelfare.org/contact/tellusI frequently read topics on here where people have information they are not quite sure what to do with but feel they need to remain anonymous. This link above gives people, like the person who thinks their pony has been given steroids, an outlet for that information to a trusted welfare organisation. This link is not for welfare concerns needing immediate attention but to help WHW build a picture of our concerns. Suggested topics include Transport Disease Passports Horse Sales Banned people keeping horses Horse slaughter Legislation Horse Rescue Anything which involves horse welfare I would be grateful if this link could be pinned

The thought of horses being abused, makes me physically sick

Personally, i think overbreeding is the biggest issue right now. Overbred, not selling for much, people who have no idea about ponies buying them, as it is cheaper than buying a pet hamster and cage! Then the problems begin! Everyone and their dog, seems to be breeding! How many "studs" are on here, for example?

We have been breeding in a very small way for nearly 40 years but haven't bred a foal for 4 years now. Until people wake up and realise that, until we all cut down, the market will not improve and more and more ponies will go to the knackerman.

Ill treatment of any kind is reprehensible - I would like to see less ponies bred and a licensing system in place to stop random breeding from unsuitable mares. Live export banned Steriod abuse stopped That's just for starters!

Here is a suggestion- look at some threads on here, work out which livery yards are insisting on horses becoming prisoners for the whole of winter, taking away more than one of the 5 freedoms and go sort it out.
I do not know how they get away with it. But you can see the controversy over it on this site alone. Those who agree with it are only those on such yards who have somehow managed to convince themselves that it is ok.

It is also time to stop people who are banned from owning horses putting them into the name of a family member and carrying on without a blip. They should all be confiscated and rehomed or sold to non family members. Fed up of seeing people banned and then seeing them showing the next week

i am on a livery yard , where the lady gets ex racehorses given to her , to sell on , she as also been given a little 14h pony of mixed breed. the other day this pony got hung up on the gate nearly breaking her neck trying to get free, this livery yard manager came in and it the pony in the face with a hammer, why because it got its self stuck because she left the head collar on, i have reported her to the rspca, . but a warning to people out there she is still advertising for more livery's and still trying to sell these horses , so go on her yard she will beat your horse then charge you a pound for doing so. yes i am the last livery there but i go on Sunday , one day and counting

RE Woolley Horse Show 2013 This is one of my favourite shows, I didn't make it this year but my parents went as spectators. They loved the M&M Champion, can some please tell me the Champion pony's name?
