Attacks on Horses-Wales

[apachepony]

Hi, I would just like people to post here about any attacks on horses in Wales, not to discuss, just to note the incidents.

I only know of a couple, and they are not the most recent;

Pembrokeshire- not sure what happened...was a horse slashed and anti english graffiti sprayed on a stable block?

A coloured cob youngster was slashed I think? It was reported in the TivySide paper

A Palomino show pony was blinded and another had his mane and tail cut on a yard somewhere in Carmarthenshire.

Can anyone elaborate on the above and add any further incidents to this thread?

The one who has lost the sight in one eye due to being stabbed in the corner of it is one of ours out on loan!

The yard had cctv but it was too dark to make out much but they have now put more lights up, in case there is any repeat.

It looks like he will keep his eye even though the sight is lost. He is still showing his normal character and is behaving as normal as he can.

I'm so sorry about your pony Red. I'm live in Carms and I hate to leave the yard at night thinking of what might happen.

Hoping your pony makes the fullest recovery possible.

Thinking of you both.

The ones that I've heard about recently were the palomino show pony, the old rescue pony also stabbed in the eye, both I think were near kidwelly and an attempted attack at another yard which I think was near Rhydyfro. 2 Horses were killed in an attack nr Caerphilly and 2 horses died after some low life took pot shots at them with an air rifle!!!! reported in Ponty area.

It's very worrying Hope your pony does ok Red
