Ex- racehorse 'within days of dying',michael kors canada
2 ImagesA livery yard operator has been sentenced after one of the horses in his care was found emaciated and close to collapse.Officers from World Horse Welfare (WHW) found thoroughbred mare Galaxy in a weak,Michael Kors Outlet, malnourished and dehydrated state at Barcham Stables, near Soham, earlier this year.Concerned members of the public called the charity and officers seized the mare.Michael Hammond,Michael Kors Purses, of Lester Piggott Way,Michael Kors Outlet, Newmarket, was sentenced at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on August 15 after pleading guilty to causing unnecessary suffering.Hammond, who described himself in court as an “assistant racehorse trainer”, was ordered to pay £1,000 costs to WHW and to complete 40 hours of unpaid work.He had pleaded guilty by letter but magistrates deemed the offence so serious his presence was required at court.Galaxy’s owner, Heidi Challis, of Queensway, Soham, also pleaded guilty but the court accepted she had played a lesser role. She received a £70 fine and was ordered to pay the charity £470 in costs. A member of the public called WHW to Barcham Stables in January over concerns that some of the horses were very thin. Jacko Jackson, one of the charity’s field officers, found one horse in very poor condition.On a subsequent visit, accompanied by Trading Standards, improvement notices were issued on 10 horses, and WHW also offered to have three horses signed over into its care. The offer was refused.On February 28 a member of the public told the charity a horse on the premises had collapsed. Mr Jackson said: “When I was able to reach the site Galaxy was standing but it was clear that she was within days of dying and had given up on her battle for life. We removed her from the site and to safety under Section 4 of the Animal Welfare Act. She was brought to our Hall Farm Rescue and Rehoming Centre, Norfolk, for immediate care.”Galaxy’s condition has improved and it is hoped that once her rehabilitation is complete she can go on to find a loving new home through the charity’s rehoming scheme.WHW said it was told Mr Hammond has subsequently been evicted from Barcham Stables.But Mr Jackson said: “I am disappointed, however, that Mr Hammond has not received any sort of ban from keeping or caring for horses. “For someone who was supposedly rehabilitating ex-racehorses like Galaxy,michael kors canada, it beggars belief that a horse in his care could get into such a state, particularly as we had offered help and advice.”After the judgement Mr Hammond told the News: “This horse had food, water, bedding and pain relief at all times. “Galaxy was not neglected but became ill – subsequently revealed to be a salmonella infection. There is a difference between neglect and illness. My error was in not calling the vet out earlier.“It is not true that I was evicted from Barcham Stables. I gave notice several months after the above events because I could no longer continue supporting the yard and the horses within it, when so little money was coming in. “Many of my owners supported me with excellent references in Court, testifying to the excellent care I gave their horses over many years.” |
