Thanks for the link rosie. I didn't see this episode, tho I watch it occaisionally. Good to know they are trying to tackle the problem altho its very sad that there's a problem in the first place.

I can't believe those 3 poor horses sold for just £10 Sadly I've heard this is very common with some foals going for a fiver! Probably a result of over (and none-too selective breeding) coupled with a growing snobbery over what types of horse/breed are desirable nowadays. Kunuma will probably know more about this as I've heard its very bad in the Dartmoor area.

It's terrible down here, there are people desperately trying to find homes for some of last year's rescued foals, ( I can post links to photos of them if anyone knows someone with a big heart) and there is no longer any pretense that the foals and youngsters are going as riding horses, they are being shot in vast numbers as zoo meat. There is NO need to keep producing them and every time I see the foals on the moor I am ashamed of being a human being.

If only we were all rich we could rescue the poor mites. I must say I would be upset to see them on dartmoor since I found out the truth of whats happening. There really should be a public outcry about it as they are a huge tourist thing, if tourists knew the fluffy little foals they saw on their hols were gonna end up as animal meat they may have a different view of the place.
