    • Horse owners fail to recognise dangers of obesity

    • Gruesome scene of horse suffering uncovered

    • Just three weeks ago, 25 thin and neglected foals, stallions and pregnant mares were removed from an isolated farm in Aberdeenshire. The semi feral horses had not been handled or received even the most basic of care for many months and were forced to wade through thick mud to reach what little grazing was available. They had been allowed to breed indiscriminately and the body of a still born foal had been left where it lay. A weak and collapsed filly was also found and had to be put to sleep.The plight of the horses was discovered after a concerned member of the public called World Horse Welfares free UK Welfare Hotline. Field Officer Doug Howie was sent to investigate and was shocked at what he found. Doug knew that in order to get the horses signed over and ensure their safe removal, he would have to keep quiet about a terrible discovery he had made at the premises.

    • Claire King visits training project in Lesotho, Africa

    • Actress Claire King, a long-time supporter of World Horse Welfare, travelled to Lesotho in August. Viewers will know Claire from Emmerdale, where she played Kim Tate, Bad Girls, where she was governor Karen Betts and from Strictly Come Dancing, where she partnered Brendan Cole. In Lesotho she met farriers and saddlery students being trained by the charity and the problems faced by horses there. "The terrain is so harsh and mountainous [in Lesotho] that they have no choice but to use the horse as their main mode of transport," said Claire. "What was especially noticeable was the tack. The bits were worn too low and were clanking against their teeth. The old military saddles were falling apart and the harnesses just didn't fit at all. I saw horses with incredible sores on their backs," she added. As well as Lesotho, World Horse Welfare's international training programmes are also underway in Mexico, Romania. Students are chosen from the local community to spend a year training in farriery or saddlery. The best students go on to be the trainers of tomorrow, passing the skills on.
