We received a very serious complaint of cruelty at a Hackney Stud in N Cape.
Bobbie and Ashley have just returned from their trip – and what they found was absolutely appalling.

Caring for equines is a costly operation, as any horse owner knows! It costs us over a thousand ZA Rand a month to keep one horse at the Unit. It is not possible for us to keep horses on a permanent basis - we would love to be a retirement center - but we have to spend our precious funds where they are needed most, and that is to bring in needy cases, rehabilitate, and re- home!
We cannot do this without your donations.

[…] I am in tears How can someone do this? Have people no heart at all? I'm so furious, this is beyond the point of abuse. I have never been so disgusted in the human race until today! I hope the people who did this get put down and no second chances they don't deserve it. This is beyond disgraceful. HACKNEY STUD INSPECTION – N CAPE […]
It is awful, isn’t it, that a human being can do this to an animal.

These people must be locked up forever!
No man, this makes me sick to my stomach!
This is monstrous.
Are they doing it because they think it’s the right thing to do? Are they aware of how wrong this is?
Its not possible for them to NOT know how wrong that is, you can clearly see the animals are in pain and uncomfortable. It makes me feel sick and im glad im not the 1 dealing with this as i would not be able to contain myself.
There is no excuse for this kind of blind, senseless cruelty.
I think I know who this is…they must STOP people like this from keeping horses!!! :'(
This is horrendous. Those poor beautiful animals.
it doesnt mater, they can mos see it hurts the horse! They just plain cruel!
Heydi Cronje please then tell us who it is – their name must be splashed all over the place and on TV news. I want to know where these horses are now, please tell me or I will go there myself to take them away!!!
Heydi Cronje Das ist an Abartigkeit wahrhaft kaum zu überbieten!!!! Arme Menschheit! 🙁
Heydi Cronje if you know who it is please do not hesitate to name and blame! We all want to know who it is, but most of all, have the horses been saved from this torture now and where are they?
Kathy ‘Ruddock’ Wiles Dear Kathy, i’m sure that we can not rescue all horses who abused by the human beeings, but this subject must get a sanction! That’s my opinion too! (sorry…my english isn’t perfect! ;-( )
Terrible…. how can people call themselves reputable horse breeders/people when they do THAT?
I hope that you are going to prosecute?
I really hope that everyone makes a serious effort to inspect yards in their own areas as these people will not be alobe in their actions – others are surly doing this right now and it takes a lot of people to catch them!
oh yes, Rob, the charges were laid quickly after the inspection!
OMG…i hope this place can be shut down….
scary that this si still happening.
I’d say buyers are equally to blame.
Makes me sick to my stomach as well! Think we should do that to the people.
Its terrible! Kylz how did u share it? From ur bb?
Vicky Ashton Now you asking
What the FUCK!!! For a lack of better words! This is SICK!!!! Stupid idiots!
How can they even think it’s ok to do this, they need thier heads examining!
But why do they do this??
WTF? How on earth can anyone justify this? Disgusting!
Utterly barbaric… there are no words…
Hope you are able to do something about these poor horses.
Hope and pray those f#ckers ROT in hell, but before they go- I’d love spend some quality time with tem in private!
You can take me along please Linette Myburgh!!!!!
Kathy ‘Ruddock’ Wiles can i come to sicking sods!
Kate Wrathall me too
And Me!
Don’t get down on their level. You can’t get lower
why is this allowed to go on????????????
This is terrible – words don’t describe how awful this is.Just so glad someone reported them. Please name & shame the place so that buyers are aware of what is going on behind the scenes. HHCU you guys are our heroes!
I’m speechless , what next. Hope the people involved come to book , lock them away and throw the key away.
Appalled at what I have read and the pictures…well I hope by sharing this people will not use this stud…they should have there Stud licence revoked for cruelty.
sick sick sick sick.
Makes my heart so sore 🙁
This is disgusting! Makes my blood boil sooooo badly!!!! Humanity sickens me
There is a special place in HELL for people that do this!! These poor poor horses – I don’t even get what the supposed purpose of this is???
is this the Soutfontein stud?
I’d like to treat the EXACTLY the same way as they did those horses! and those poor animals have no sound to make for how much pain they’re in!
A damn disgrace. Hope they get the book thrown at them. Should be banned for life from owning horses!!!
being without words!! but glad people out there and reporting and the public gets to know about it!! next and most important step is now to DO something about this and those kind of cruel people!!!!!!!!!!!!
Louise Thompson should be banned from Life .period
not you Louise the the ones doing the horrible cruel acts
Louise Thompson – this is what we will aim for at the trial – the owner must be banned from owning animals for life.
I am appauled, why do these people even own animals if they are not going to treat them humanely? why do they even bother.. thank you HHCU for coming to the rescue yet again! hope you manage to put these monsters behind bars and give these horses decent homes!
If I was to speak my mind about the way I feel about this absolute barbaric cruelty, I would be stricken off FB.
I agree with you but who cares people who do this should have it done to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG WTF?
Makes me sick & so sad!
How can humans be so cruel?
I’d like to know – where from here? I haven’t stopped crying……look at their eyes! MONSTERS I HOPE YOU GET AN INFECTION IN YOUR ASS!
it’s toooooo disgusting for words 🙁 🙁 🙁 …. I seriously shudder to think what else goes on at other places behind closed doors … but very glad this was caught… these poor poor horses!!! And for what? A human being’s effing ego! 🙁 🙁
Please tell me they have closed this place down!!! I am appalled and disgusted. Name and Shame the owners of this place. That way they can get the same treatment they gave those poor animals. Fucking monsters like that deserve to die in a firey car crash, slowly!
This is just HORRIBLE 🙁 Those poor horses, I hope they are taken far away from those awful people and they don’t get to keep horses again!!
Now-now people… don’t be like this…. I’ll invite the owner and the groom over for a braai at my place, then let them tell me how this “new” way of horsemanship works…. Then after I have roasted the motherFu(<ers over the fire dump there sorry arses down a mineshaft…… I do have one on my plot in Springs…. that is ofcorse a place to braai meat… 😉
Is something going to be done about this?
WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME THERE NAMES I,M IN KIMBERLEY AND WOULD GO OVER THERE AND FETCH THOSE POOR BABIES!!!!
That’s awful. Why! You have to be stupid not to see that its wrong!
I don’t think I will ever look at red baling twine the same after this….flip! SHOCKING!
Its horrible! Can’t believe it 🙁
Absolutely disgusting! Those poor, poor animals:(
To be treated so horribly without any ability to fight back! Makes a person sick in their stomach. 🙁
They should strap up the arseholes that did that 2 those animals in exactly the same way… Just plain evil.
Horrific.
thats disgusting!
Never did like American Saddle Horse people – I’ve been hearing stories like this for years about how they go about training their horses. I’ve also seen how their stables are built in barns so they can keep the horses in the dark and when they are finally let out in the sunshine on show day, they are oh so proud of the response the animal gives at the shock of the sudden brightness! The judges look favourably on the panicky reaction and score high points. Neanderthals!
I hope you get it right to throw the book at them!
Sick f**KS Hope they rot!
One of the reasons I lost interest in showing horses. The people, the process.
People like this should be hung and quatered! Barbarians!
This is so unbelievable!!!!!! These poor animals!! 🙁
And all this utter cruelty in the name of Beauty? Sad thing is these horses will never forget. Hope these cruel people are prosecuted and remain locked up for ever.
If only people would educate themselves!!!!!
you got to be kidding me?????
This is disgusting people like this should be shot ,icant believe this
That is truly despicable!!! Makes me absolutely livid!
hang them with bailing twine! this is horrible, cant believe anybody can justify doing this!
Wow. These people should get only the same treatment that they give these animals. Bastards.
OMG!! Makes me sick to my stomach!
people can be unbelievably cruel! so sad!
Take the people out in the yard and shoot them.This is not okay. What has happened to empathy and common sense?
To see the levels so called civilised people will sink to in pursuite of a few trophies is sickening but you get the same kind of behaviour to greater or lesser degrees whenever it comes to breeding for shows and is just as prevelent in the dog showing world.
Awful photos.
that is horrendous!
Totally unacceptable.
The FEI has outlawed hyperflextion , very simelar to what i see here .It is done by means of flexing a horses neck in a unnatrual way .This is supose to make the horse more submiting or look good (whatever ) but what it does to the poor animal is stress and pain especially on the neck and can cause pirmenant damage on the tendants and ligaments in the neck…….sad to see.
this is abuse plain and simple they should be named and shamed and banned from having horses again it is disgracefull
Unfortuantely this is a result of “fashion”. Buyers want to see Hackneys with hyperflexed arched necks, so the sellers take horrendous short cuts. What distresses me is the resignation in the horses eyes: despite the veins standing out in pain, the eyes show they’ve given up fighting the inevitable.
Thanks to HCU for finding them.
It broke our heart too, Kirsty.
Maybe we should do the same to the owners may they die and rot in hell.
Die a slow painful death and then burn in hell forever!!!!!!
Poor defenceless Animals. I pray that God keeps all animals safe from Barbarians like these. :'(
I am appalled by this cruelty. So difficult for the inspectors to view this. So hope that this place can be closed permantly and that the owners are severly prosecuted and.
punished.
If only we could treat these people who do this exactly the same way!
People who abuse horses should be shot !
This is cruel beyond measure, they should have their own heads tied in a unnatural position for hours on end with baling twine…
DISGUSTING! I’d like to tie THEIR chin to their chests and leave them for long periods of time. Bastards.
No words for this…
What people don’t realise that the damage caused by this goes so much deeper than what we see in the photos (never mind the mental/emotional damage). Putting that kind of tension on the nuchal ligament will cause irrevocable damage to the external occipital protuberance of the skull where there will be actual bony changes to the skull. The parotid glands are being compressed. The horse won’t be able to breathe properly in this position. No doubt there will be damage to the hyoid apparatus which can in turn also affect the horse’s balance & breathing. The jaw & tongue – the damage caused there you can see for yourself. There will be soft tissue damage to the neck muscles. The nuchal ligament will be damaged as well as the supraspinous ligament in the back (and these are the ‘suspension’ of a horse). The pressure placed on that horse’s back is ENORMOUS. The back is in such an unnatural extension that I dread to think of the damage caused to the intervertebral disks seeing that these horses are forced to stand like this for hours. This extension of the back in turn places huge pressure on the stifles & hocks Look how ‘tucked-up’ that horse looks (pain response). Also look at the stance of the fore limbs. There will no doubt be visceral problems due to pressure & stress.
I can carry on & on but you guys get the idea…
I HOPE these so called horse owners are prosecuted & these poor animals removed, SOON!
Keep up the good work HHCU!
Wow this is truly horrific! Poor poor horses.
wrongen’s Thats disgusting! 🙁 x x x
Thanks for sharing Este, blows your mind doesn’t it! Good to know that there’s a horse care unit in SA doing such great work.
Please name and shame these people. We need to know who they are.
YES PLease DO!!!!!!!
let their names out of the bag..Please!!
Its terrible, these people should be shot, or better still do it to them.
The question is are the show judges blind to markings if there are signs and omg hearing and seeing are two different things wow
Terrible and sad there are such people, and out with the names of the people
Digusting these people are the lowest of the low! Such beautiful horses and they don’t deserve any of this treatment. Hope you crucify the owners/trainers whatever I will help!
I agree with my niece, this type of behaviour has to be stamped out and the full arm of the law applied.
this is terrible, these type of studs shouldn’t be in state to be open, please I hope that something happens to those responsible, my heart is bleeding for those horses!
Why !!!! It breaks my heart :-((( Terrible, how people can think that this is right !!!!
Det er så forfærdeligt 🙁 Forstår ikke at man kan være så grusom.
It’ really terrible
Utterly disgusting! What cruel bastards!
I am sick to my stomach. Cannot believe this happens out there. And its probably only the tip of the iceberg:-( 🙁
There are no words to explain the utterly disgraceful handling of these poor poor horses! I am shocked to think people can do this with NO CONCIENCE!!!
This truelly is sickening, I hope they will be prosecuted and above all the horses removed from the property and the owners banned from ever owning horses again!
People really have a gift for cruellty!!!!!!!
These people should be named and shamed.
I cannot bring myself to look at the close up pic of the poor horse 🙁 I agree bring them to book !
These people shouldn’t be allowed to have horses, or any kind of animal, ever again…
I truly can’t see the point to this practice. Poor horsemanship by people who probably claim to be experts.
Sickening, disgusting, how can these bastards sleep at night! The same must be done to them!
Have the horses been removed? I truly hope Lady Justice can make these A…H..L.S. pay! What makes a human think this is ok?
I don’t know what to say…. I am sitting crying at the horrific pics – and I am sure that there was worse that cant be published…. I know where I would like to tie the bailing twine – that poor beautiful horse – I hope he is able to get over his horrible ordeal and find a wonderful loving home along with all the other horses there – and I hope these people feel the full force of the law :o(
Absolutely horrific!!!! Words actually can’t convey, i feel sick looking at this pics – and ashamed to be part of the human race!
I think the horses should be confiscated and a court should award a whopper of a fine for each one – then the fine can be paid to HHCU so that they can carry on their good work! They do this for money so hit them where it hurts most!
WTF are the trying to achieve doing that bullsh**t?
I hope they neame and shame them, then tie them up in a simular fashion
This is absolutely disgusting , cruel and disrespectful and has to be stopped.
no quiero ni verlo.eso se lo tenian que hacer al que lo ha hecho pero en otro sitio que se yo y tirar pero bien fuerte.
this is discussting.
This is awefull!
WTF! How cruel can humanste be? Makes me very sad and i feel with this poor souls…
…humans…
I truly cannot find words to explain my absolute disgust at this blatant torture. Give me these bastards for only half an hour! I agree that these bastards should be named and shamed. My anger reaches peaks I didn’t think possible! God watches remember and these are his creatures. Treat them as they treat their horses who place trust in them, they should be shot!
People like that have no place on this earth
Totally disgusting! please post (for overseas people) where this is taking place and you must name them!
utterly appauling……eye for an eye I say!!
here it starts www.ehorseequipment.com/browse-categories.aspx?cid=32
sorry I do not like to use this word, but occasionally it is called for……..these people are CUNTS! I hope they rot in hell, the bastards! This is so sad!
No Words,,,sick to my stomach …
What on earth were they hoping to achieve apart from break its jaw or neck!
So cruel.
Disgusting! I just don’t know what goes on in some people’s heads
This is so sad that people feel they have to do such stupid things.. What do they think the horses have no feelings… Idiots fine them don’t let them have any other animals.. name and shame for sure.
makes me ashamed to be human
Ifelt sick how in gods name can human do that Iam very very ashamed
Disgusting
poor babies :'(. Agree with Remus Rugs “What do they think the horses have no feelings… Idiots fine them don’t let them have any other animals.. name and shame for sure.”
Oh all my support go’s to the people that are trying to help
Disgusting. Where and how can we report the owner or trainer.
omg. I’m speechless.
Seriously shocking
Why??? For what purpose????
Sickening!
Beyond words. Name, sanction, prosecute!
Eye for an eye! Those s.o.b. trainers’ punishments should be exactly what they put those poor creatures through – bailing twine through their mouths, and make them stand chin to chest in their cells for a few years…or until their brains rot – which ever happens first.
Thank God somebody saw this happening..hopefully they will do something about this now..
I cant believe what I am seeing, it is barbaric. You have to name these people!
It’s horrible. American saddlers are also victims – tail muscles severed to set tail up, neck binding, kept in total darkness for weeks before events so that they look startled – so so cruel. Name & shame them!
Very cruel,
terrible
I hope something gets done to stop this trainer , makes me so sick and so sorry for that poor horse :-‘(.
Cant believe people think that this is okay. Its people like these that put all the good horse lovers out there in a bad light. You are cruel and emotionless. Hope you get a maximum penalty and are never allowed to own horses again.
Really heart wrenching sad!!
If we supposedly come from apes, then these guys prove it. Absolute drop kicks.
This is horrible!
What is the matter with people? Disgusting.
Da kann man nur noch heulen…
Just crying…
Es gibt immer noch “Menschen” für die Tiere seelenlose und gefühllose Kreaturen sind. Eine Schande und zum Heulen.
How can a normal human do that to such a beautiful animal? I hope that person dies a horrible death.
WE MUST DO IT TO THOSE PEOPLE. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAME. THE FLIPPEN ASSHOLES!
What is going to happen to the owners of these horses? And have these horses been removed or left at the stud? This is seriously disgusting.
Why do you do this to a horse its sickening
WHAT THE….. are people out of there minds, the most loving and trusting animal, can you imagine if they turned agressive.maybe they should, fight back beautiful animals. May these disgusting people..**.**.
I know, Felicity. It is just too terrible to think about what those poor horses have suffered! The perpetrator of this act has no soul.
This is DISGUSTING! Fine the bastards and remove all horse from their care. 🙁
Holy shit! Send them my way and I’ll give them the same treatment with pleasure!!!
Holy shit! Send them my way and I’ll give them the same treatment with pleasure!!!
I am at a loss for words! If it were not for the good soul who reported this – these poor sad horses would still be suffering! Please people – don’t look the other way, report cruelty immediately. BUT don’t waste the inspectors time with frivolous reports.
How somebody could even think to do this. What kind of a human being does this to an animal. You are a waste of good oxygen. Name and Shame, they don’t deserve to be protected.
ITS SICK! I HOPE THOSE “SCUM” DOn’t SLEEP AT ALL AT NIGHT! HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO CRUEL! THOSE HORSES DOn’t DESERVE TO BE TREATED THAT WAY AT ALL! I REALLY HOPE THAT THE STABLES WILL BE CLOSED DOWN AND THAT THE HORSES WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF BY REAL PEOPLE! THANKS LORD FOR REAL PEOPLE THAT LOVE ANIMALS WHO TREAT ANIMALS WITH THE RESPECT THEY DESERVE. GOD WILL SURELY NOT LET THE “SCUM’ WHO DID THAT TO THE HORSES SHOWN IN THE PICS, GET AWAY WITH THAT SICKENING BEHAVIOR. AND NO ONE CAN RUN OR HIDE FROM GOD!
This is truly appalling, where is the FEI now?
Oh my god, who would treat any animal in this way. Unfortunately the punishment of these types of people is not enough.
I hope these people are charged & the FEI takes issue with this also. Truly heartbreaking
I bet they don’t get caught, let alone punished!!
This is absolutely heartbreaking to see. People responsible for cruelty like this should be banned from
owning animals for life at the very least… Horrible 🙁
What a disgrace for human kind. We all should shoulder up against people who treat animals is bad ways – tomorrow it might be humans.
discusting, all in the name of winning.
We should notify the breeders who sold them the orginal stallion, anyone want to help me track them down, Bev, do you know where they got the original one from? Or do I start spamming ALL hackney breeders to let them know about this chap?
We must name – a REALLY STUPID cruel woman in my village in england did this…WHW took away one horse…this goes on more than we might think – wicked sods expose..this as cruel its the only way! to STOP cruelty like this.
Awful!
Johanna – has she been prosecuted. And what did the RSPCA do?… little, I fear. S.
Sylvia Loch the horse was taken by ILPH (then as was) she still has another 2 horses 🙁 ….
How dare any human hurt and humiliate an animal in this way…it is a psycotic act of cruelty…it should be punishable accordingly!
I don’t have any words 🙁 These people are disgusting and should not be dealing with any animals, let alone breeding them. If this is what they can do to an animal, then what do they do to their loved ones? I’m so sad that there are people out there that can be so cruel.
they need to be shamed in the papers and prosecuted for cruelty!
those people should be forced to stand lie that nd then shot! makes me SICK.
that’s just evil and cruel…..i hope those pple rot in hell after there been charged and named and shamed.
Where was this at ,i could kill them cruel bastard’s ,my dream is to have a hackney pony ..
Words simply fail me P, they need the same pain and misery inflicted back on them, then put away for life would not be good enough for these barbarique inhuman folk…Disgusting…!
PLEASE PLEASE what can we do to stop that immediately? Say the word and we WILL help, it is absolutely monstrous!
What an asolute disgrace! please name these people, they need to be publicly shamed a the very laest.
This is too shocking for words. How do they get away with this & does the hackney fraternity condone this barbaric cruelty? What sort of “people” are these?
Omg.. :O :'(
Wer zu solchen Mittel greift , kann nicht reiten.Sind keine Menschen und dürften sich keinem Lebewesen mehr nähern dürfen.
Can every one of us who are horse owners and lovers donate a R200 to HHCU now so that they have some funding to help these animals in such a desperate state? Please, forgo your Friday evening outing for this week.
There’s a place for these bastards and I just wish it was with me for 5 minutes!
Hang them high, those bastards
Some people do not belong on earth.
It`s terrible!! What a shame, what people do with the wonderful creature horse!!!
It’s a shame!
How do we contact these ‘horse owners’ and who exactly do we complain to in regards to this please? Absolutely disgusting….words fail me.
That’s just F#^k*d UP
@[1035606449:2048:Ben Abbott] It sure is…..someone must know where this is???
N Cape, wherever the fuck that is. assholes
South africa
OMG ..That is disgusting !!
@[671941182:2048:Jane Tunstall] …South Africa Jane…just another reason NOT to EVER go there. Barbarians 🙁
@[100000004114851:2048:Caroline Bolton] Certainly is Cal :((
my heart go’s out to that poor animal, people are so so cruel.
This is absolutely horrifying that people can do this with no problem. they should be tied up like that
Imagine how sore that poor animal must be after having its neck bent over like that day in and day out all because the “trainer” is too lazy to build muscle the proper way!
schämt euch Menschen !!!
wie furchtbar!!was gibt es den für Schweine auf dieser Welt!!mögen sie in der Höhle schmoren!!!!!!!!
oh mein gott…wo holst du nur immer diese horrorbilder her, iris ???
Das sollte mal mit dem Trainer gemacht werden, schande, ich hoffe man bestraft sie aber richtig.
I am disgusted. Who does this? So barbaric, and for what…a pretty head carriage later on? This is sick, fitness and correct riding promotes neck muscle growth, not this. I am just gobsmacked. The fact people are actually doing this…. Please take the horses away from them. No horse deserves this treatment.
How cruel can people be. It’s disgusting and barbaric. Please do something about this.
Ziek hé !
My good…I have no words to express how I feel when I see tghings like this…what is man able to do??
DAS habe ich vor 25 in einem Dressurstall gesehen – der “Bereiter” hat sein pferd (mit Zügeln) ausgebunden stundenlang so abgestellt, damit es “am Zügel” geht!!
Wei traureg 🙁
Man man man.
Da fehlen mir die Worte!
Hi se asb wie is die trainer sodat almal hom of haar kan boykot /Siek Siek Mense gelukkig is ons perdjies by n goeie trainer wat lief is vir perde.
Hou op gatkruip hulle gaan nie jou keep minder maak nie HAHAHA!
Shocked, disgusted, deeply saddened and abve all, wanting these owners and trainers to be punished in the most severe way possible. Tears fall as I beg you please to make sure this happens. Please horse owners expose these horrific, eveil people. They must NEVER be allowed to own horses (or any animals) again and thier names and faces must be shown to the world! So we all know who they are and avoid them like the plague, watch that they never ever do this again. PLEASE HHCU can you tell us what has happened to these horses now?
I have also asked for the name of this stud to be made public but have had NO response! They need to be exposed for who they are!!! Grrr!!! Does anybody know what has happened to the horses? Are they still at the stud or have they been confiscated???
Let’s put the owner(s)/trainer(s) through the same procedure.
Hi @[1162625671:2048:Lynn Muller], how did you ask, have you phoned or sent message, or e-mail? How can we find out more. There are two members of my AHS Group who are very involved with HHCU and have messaged them as well, so hoping for response soon. Just can’t bare to think they may still be suffering …. not for one more minute please!!!
@[100001046389579:2048:Ingeborg Hernes] can you please tell me of a plan to do that and I will join the team on their way there!!
Debbie Geyer OMG Please I cannot believe what I have just seen!
This brings tears to my eyes how can people do this ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
Let do to them what they do to the animals and see how long they will last.
lets do that to them for hours see how they like it, poor horses.
Sick and disgusting!!!!
shocked by these human beings destructive cruel behavior.
Shocking – I hope they get what they deserve AND they are shut down!!!
Please tell me they have removed the horses from this dreadful place?
Absolutely disgusting!!
HORRIFIC!
PLEASE tell us who these misfits are. I’m for naming and shaming and then tarring and feathering. Legally has anything happened?
Saw it Dawn! So sad brought tears to my eyes! I love hackneys! I want one
Cunts. Sorry, hate that word but some people just are. This is bullshit, no matter how hard we push the topic of animal welfare it just doesnt get through.
My Heart felt words ARE to rude to type, These people need to Feel to PAIN they have shown these horses!!!!!
Shut them down! Evil!
Disgusting! Hope the people who did it die a painful death.
Zieke geesten!
Echt triest!!
Stoning this people would be à proper punishment.
no words………
Jeetje ….
What kind of human being do this to an animal? I hope they get the worst sentences possible!
Pisses me off!
What the hell were those people smoking?
ugh that’s disgusting. poor sweeties…i hope they get taken away and given to people who will love them.
Terrible and sickening. How rotten has the horse world become to do things like this that my horse shows better than your horse.
Shocking. Prosecute and close them down!
give the people who did this the same treatment, make then stand for hours with their mouths tied back like that.
no prison sentence would be enough for this cruelty.
Awfull !!!!
Grusomt:-(.
This is a completely Unnecessary and abusive practice, I am sorry but you are not a trainer if you have to result to this because any good trainer knows that there are correct and very humane workouts to teach a horse to carry himself properly. They also know that exercise, ground work, and correct riding will build those muscles the best way and not damage the horses pride.
The media should get involved. There is so much of this shit going on behind locked stable doors especially in the saddlebred and Hackney yards.
Makes me sick ~How can people do this stuff~they should ban the trainer from ever being able to show any Horse~Awful~.
This is disgusting !!!! Can we tie up the trainer like this? I can’t believe I just refered to them as a trainer! This is so wrong!!!
Sorry I couldn’t look at it. the small picture was bad enough.
Conrad and I learned of some abusive practices when shopping for his Rocky Mt Horse. They do tongue slicing- cut across the tongue to make the horse drop its head away from the bit- and they pin fire the legs to develop tendons. Also inject acid in the feet to make them lift their feet. These are all typical practices in Kentucky/Tennessee where the horses are most popular. Conrads horse did have acid injections prior to purchase. another horse we saw had a huge scar on its tongue from slice and pin-fire scars. Bike chains were also used to hold one horse’s head in place so he had scars behind his ears.
The things people will do for money and prestige, or simply because ‘I was told to…” there can be no claim of ignorance here, this is pure disregard for anything other than selfish human greed.
OMG are your freakin’ kidding me. Like someone stated earlier, name these people. Someone has to know who they are and man up and turn them in for animal cruelty. Would you want this done to your horse if they came into your barn????
This is why I am afraid to send Journey to a trainer!
Heather, just pick and choose your trainers wisely. A good trainer will give you clients names and phone numbers to contact for references. They will also welcome you into their barn at any time of day. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about a trainer. There are a lot of people with a lot of knowledge about trainers that will help you out, myself included.
Thank you. When I am ready you know I will be bugging you with a million questions!
Glad to help.
Poor, poor animal(s). How could they…
Their neck, their back and most of all, their SPRIRIT is broken and destroyd. I deeply hope that these horses get a new home and be loved SO much.
Those owners should get the same treatment. Bind a nylon rope around their jaw and tie it down on their chest for 2 hours, with a short break… Let’s see if they like and get better from this treatment.
LET ME TIE THAT ROPE IN THEIR FN” MOUTH- THE JUDGE SHOULD HAVE DONE UPON THEM AS THEY DID TO THE POOR HORSES HERE-HERE!
Sick!!! Echt gestoord, arme beesten 🙁
Sick!!! Echt gestoord, arme beesten 🙁
Wtf, ze moeten die mensen zelf ‘ns opknopen!:s
so the training purpose of this is? I would like to see those people stand in a stall with this attached to their mouths and of course let them have a 2 hr break also….disgusting!
Shocking! Hope you get them arrested and they rot in jail. Those beautiful horses deserve much better. Name and shame.
Poor poor horses….. They should never ever ever be allowed to have animals….
Hoe verzin je het????
Horrible! :-(((
Echt vreselijk
Hier ga ik echt van over mijn nek….
Gatver, hoe kan je zoiets doen, of zelfs maar toekijken.
Shocking! Amazing that the horse hasn’t kicked the people who did this into hospital yet.
Assholes!
Wow sick
Mafketels laat ze zo zelf maar paar uur staan!!!
Te belachelijk voor woorden ja!!!!!!!!!
Dat mensen zo met paarden omgaan is echt Vreselijk!!
shame shame shame on these people!
mein gott.wie kann man sowas machen!

Mein Gott, was für eine unglaubliche Tierquälerei und Tortur für die Pferde. Ich hoffe, dass diese Schweinerei sofort gestoppt wird.
Menschen sind Schweine!
WHAT THE HELL??????????????? These disgusting people shouldn’t own any living thing!!! PLEASE save these poor horses!
Dt is verskriklik erg!!! Kan nie glo iemand is capable daar van nie!!!!!
That is truely unbelivable!!!! How is someone able to do something like this…????
Schrecklich….:-(
Grausam!!
Fy for satan 🙁
How can people be so pathetic .
This is seriously disgusting…..who in their right mind cause think that was ok!
Troubling on the way people treat kids and animals!
Altså nogle mennesker er altså for meget.! Føj………
Hvorfor så sur, søde Lise?
Hvad havde de dog forestillet sig de ville få ud af det?? Jeg rider i grime.
How cruel can people be!!! They should be treated like this, too!!!
i have no words for this…… I am deeply ashamed that this done by human beings. 🙁
es ist und war immer schrecklich was Menschen für perverse Einfälle haben, um ihre Ideen durchzusetzen oder ein Ziel zu erreichen.
Mir fehlen die Worte!!! :O
In mir kommt eine Wut hoch, das is der hammer! Wie kann man den nur?????? :,-(
Disgusting I cannot believe people treat their animals this way!
xx
I am stunned………. finds no words for so much perversity; – (. Only tears for these poor horses……….
Holy sh*t :'(
Waar is die vind ik niet leuk knop nou toch, echt ziek dit
Vreselijke beelden, echt walgelijk!!!
Really disgusting. All this senseless torture for just some stupid prize or rotten money. It makes me feel ashamed to be human. Hope the ones responsable for this will received their deserved punishment.
that is totally illresponsible, i cant beleive my eyes they need to be jailed for horse cruelty!!!!!
Disgusting!
So horrificly unessessary! how cruel the human race can be!
This is disgusting, that goodness for horsecare, as an owner and breeder of horses I am appalled at the things some people do, the end justifies the means CRAP! These people should be banned from ever owning/training horses again. Well done on your effort.
Tell me these fk wits arnt still walking around unaided.
that is disgusting, surely these people can’t call them selves animal lovers. I know how hard it is to even cut hay twine, so imagine how much it would cut into their mouths and necks, Hang the bastards.
This is revolting.
Those swine should get the same treatment! NAME AND SHAME!
Spread the news, name, blame and shame these horrifically cruel people. Have the horses been saved from their evil hands??????
Oh my god!!! Awful, really sick!!! Those who doing this, are not human beings!!! Do it to themselves, and harder!!!! Oh no, wait, it cannot even harder!! Disgusting!!!!
Disgusting. As long as people an make money with those horses, they don’t mind to hurt animals.
Øv, det var grimt 🙁
det er der vi burdte have sådan noget som spca i lille dk… alle lande burdte have det!
Some of the worst cruelty i ever seen done to horses. Shame on those who did this.
why?
I truley hope that the old saying “what goes around comes around” works here. I agree with Linette Myburgh’s comment. ROT IN HELL PEOPLE.
kripes – that is a “bit” excessive – poor bloody animals!
OMG!!!!!!! I’m speechless. Mongrels!!!!!!!!!!
It makes me sick….. Cruelty….. May these Barbarians who do this suffer when we do this to them!!! MotherF***** !!!!!!
Name and shame I say! Absolutely despicable!
Absolutely appalling – Everyone is supposed to be looking to improve our world – they obviously need help !!!!!!!
Id like to see them hang from their ‘bits’ with twine! name and shame these horrible people, they should never be allowed to be close to any animal again 🙁 sickening!
Id like to see them hang from their ‘bits’ with twine! name and shame these horrible people, they should never be allowed to be close to any animal again 🙁 sickening!
Jill the f*ckers
Please tell me the horses have been taken from this place and the people arrested who did this!
The sick stupidity of some people makes me see red…seriously, I could live just fine seeing the stupid cruel #!!@*** that did/do this have it done to them…2 hours on, 2hours off, two hours on,…..for life.
those fucken bastards no need to this kind of abuse..
Amen!
OMG! why do they do that?, is it to make them softer in the poll? I love hackneys, I own a hackney/thgbred cross, shes wonderful, never,never did anything like that for a nice head set, by the way your grey on your profile pic is ABSOLUTELY stunning!!!
Carol Bass Thank you Carol the grey on our profile is our stallion..
may I ask for what reason he did that to that horse? cant understand … sorry
These physcos should be named and shamed, have their faces shown on every news channel, radio etc. They should be prosecuted and NEVER be allowed within 100 ks of horses or animals…. in fact they should be LOCKED UP for good. Bloody cruel, sadists!
gutter crawling vermin….
Omg poor horsey :((
That’s bloody disgusting!
this is SICKNING – can you not name and shame. Hope charges were pressed.
Kan nie glo mense kan so fucked up wees nie………..wat n wereld !!
This practice is actually very common amongst the Hackneys, Friesians, Saddlers and Vlaam horses. This is the way most of these horses are being kept and nothing is being done about it. Their training methods are apalling and the way these horses are being kept is beyond words, but because the horses are fat and doesn’t look “abused” it is okay. These practices are being encouraged by the way the horses have to behave in a certain way in the ring – they have to look scared and alert! This horse is probably one of only a handful of “lucky” horses that will be helped. The other thousands will stand in their dark toilet-sized stables for the next 15 years, only to come out for 30 minutes a day in a harness of torture and being made to work in the most horrendous fashion imaginable with chains and elastics on their feet and legs and horribly overgrown feet. People who have never attended saddler / hackney / friesian or Vlaam shows just cannot realise the extent of suffering these horses have to endure every single day of their existance.
just worng
I do hope the horse kicks the shit out of the one whome did this. This is torture to a sweet animal.
How sick!
Nou zeg dat wel…
Jezus ik kan hier zo boos om worden :@ dit is toch niet eerlijk! 🙁
Jezus, gaat nergens meer over!!!!!!!!!
Wat is de nut hier van????
It’s not a pretty sight but how often we see this in the dressage ring. And then its normal.
Don’t get me wrong, I despise this kind of “training” but if you open your eyes you will see it everywhere.
echt ziek ja!!! bij diegene die dit gedaan heb precies hetzelfde doen en de handen achter op de rug binden zodat die het ook niet los kan maken, en dan lekker een paar uur zo laten zitten.
you are so bad thats asi
Beyond disgusting.
France’s it’s good to have truth out there and whilst this is disturbing the other picture was just disgusting….I don’t agree with animal cruelty but what about positive messages instead of animal abuse photos….
Eve-lyn Kennedy we always try to post positive messages. The positive message on this case will be when the owner is found guilty and banned from owning any animal for the rest of his life…
Why is it written a Hackney Stud? Put their name and pictures here and on every web page horselovers all over the world have. Get them banned everywhere.
I agree with you, what`s wrong with this people!!!
Hilde, it is illegal in South Africa to name the people until the court case is concluded. Once it is, we will, we assure you!
please tell me what is happening to the stud owners?
This is terrible!!!!!!!!!! And this is supposed to be a horse lover??? Well done to the people who reported this and to the HHCU!!!
Dis verskriklik hoe mense diere kan dwing in n ding in. Da is nog sulke wreede mense da buite. Hulle moet net gevang word
Dit maak my somer naar!! Kan nie glo mens kry sulke aaklige wreede mense nie.. As mens hulle kan mense noem.. Hulle moet so vasgebind word!!!
Have never seen something like this…..hope they going to be prosecuted!
Ek kan nie glo mense doen sulke gruwel dade met enige dier nie! Die afskuwelik! Hoop al hule diere word weggeneem!
This is disgusting. Absolutely horrific. And all for what? So that they might get a rosette??? I truly hope that these people get what they deserve.
NEEEEE ….. 🙁
I am unable to comment on this as so disgusted….who/what in the hell gives people the right to own and torture such a beautiful creature….sick is what they are and sick is how I feel 🙁
That is so sad omg can’t think how those poor horses feel :((
looking at those photos just makes me sick to the stomach, they should be named and shamed and never allowed to keep any animal ever again.
aaarrrrgggghhhhh!
What on gods good earth would make you think that this is a wise and sensible thing to do to any animal at anytime bunch of idiots.
Do you know what purpose this actually serves? I can’t think of any. It just looks sick
my philosphy with people like is do to them what they have done to defenceless animals and see how they like it!!
Ich würde den Kerl / das Weib umbringen welches das getan hat!!
I cannot believe how the expensive well groomed horse has been treated and abused in the horrible way of inhumanity! I am disgusted! What a shame!
oh no!!!! i am very mad at them for no reason.. my own 5 stallions are good boy .. i am feeling oh sigh they are never to understand handle with the stallion’s life..i take him away from them!!!!!
WTF? And this is in aid of what? Over exagerrated necks and highstepping action? These idiots need a serious wake-up call. I agree with Linette Myburgh…just 2hrs in private and then they can have 2hrs off… My South African horse friends: please have a seriously close look at what goes on on our showgrounds. This is embarrasing.
Please tell me thay are going to rot in jail.
No other words come to mind other than pure cruelty. WTH is wrong with people?
Stopp THAT!!!
Das ist voll die Quelerei..!^^
Jaa so uebel 🙁
they could have easily sweat off with a sweat hood. What A***** Besides he doesn’t need it. He’s perfect!
Heartbreaking!
Sorry, dass geht gar nicht!
this people must be named !!!!
A quoi ça a sert??? Juste a montrer que l’homme est monstrueux ….
Elevage de la Tour .. à quoi ça sert quoi ? à dénoncer !! et à banir de telles cruautés au nom de quoi ? de ce putain d’orgeuil de merde ! voilà mon sentiment .. et pas juste mon sentiment . mon dégôut !
An absolute disgrace! They should rot in jail for a long time to come! Name and shame the bastards!
I agree. And do unto them…When I think how loved some horses, and animals, are, and how much some have to suffer, it makes no sense
Dit maak my soooo sad 🙁 And to think it’s not the only abuse out there!!!
No one person or animal deserves this sort of treatment …dont get mad … get even… use razor wore on the people who do this.
jesus christ how sick are this people?
Weet je Het, de foto die ik nu al kan zien ziet er zo gruwelijk uit dat ik niet meer verder durf te kijken……word er helemaal beroerd van….waar zijn mensen toch toe in staat soms….scary…..
TORTURE!, in every-way. This people are Sick.
THE AUGHT TO DO IT TO THEM THE CRUEL B…..DS.
Thats really sick they wanna kill the people who dun it thats awful respect to the owners
Will the owner have the same “treatment” ?
ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL…..words fail me….
barbaric!
Thank god they found them, but I hate to think how much of this continues to go on…
Dear HHCU thank you for your excellent work. You have helped CLAW on many occassions too. Wishing you all the best in your efforts.
Were the horses confiscated?
To do this to them for hours at a time day in day out is heartbreaking! They do not love horses- sadly as so many in the showing world of any species prove. Why do breed clubs, judges, audiences condone their “standards”? 🙁
its a money making industry @[1785517060:2048:Kay Or Karen Thomas] How heartbreaking is this? Deliberately inflicted cruelty. I will be following this – had no idea this kind of thing happened. Big ups to HHCU for exposing this. Hope they have the time to keep us updated and ask for help from all of us to bring the perpetrators to justice.
As @[1200332152:2048:Linda Scrace] also pointed out – this happens all the time, American Saddlers is another one, Morgans too. What kind of society thinks its normal to break a horses tail for heavenssake?
nico nel pse see
@[1402031381:2048:Nico Nel]
Thank you Cora, I have seen and do not like what I have seen. I will be motoring to the Cape in mid-March. I can give up to 6 persons a lift to support me when I call in on the Hackney Stud. Where exactly are they?
the people responsible for this should be tortured in the same manner, it is totally barbaric.
Please let the animal friends met the “Trainer” turn around and keep your eyes shut….
SICK DEPRAVED MORONS! LET’S PUT A PlASTIC ROPE ON THEIR LOWER JAW AND TIE IT TO THEIR “NETHERREGIONS” and leave them that way for the rest of their lives!
what the HELL is the purpose for all of that??My GOD people can be such damn sadistic animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick 🙁
Get those horses the hell out of there and shoot the idiots who thing that is training!
One way to send a firm message, stop attending events that support this kind of treatment. Stop paying dues and fee’s to belong to organizations that support this kind of inhumane treatment. Money Talks. Stop spending your money in these kinds of events, breeders, trainers, demonstrations etc.
My mare is half Hackney, and has the natural head and neck “shape” of these wonderful driving horses… Why oh Why inflict this torture on these poor trusting beasts… I hope that Karma visits these folk very soon!
Total abuse, nothin will be done about it, they move on and set up again:( blame people who want to buy them like that:( it sick init!!
and and. they returned and found this.. and? what is being done? I’m absolutely shocked that this reads like some report THIS IS A SERIOUS case of animal abuse and the entire operation needs to be shut down and the horses removed now! I need please to hear of what is being done I intend to make this public and create an international petition within 48 hours so please bring US up to speed and tell US what the current status is of this situation,
oh dear G-d…… :’-(
Unless there are other feeds or information This is circulating On the internet/ facebook with little or No information I have come here seeking it please. I’m an animal advocate I take things like this very serious… and this “practice” is ABUSE and can’t be allowed to continue I am not even sure who YOU are? If You guys are investigating this and have the authority to do so then again please inform me and the international community as to who is being charged when and what is happening to the horse. If you are NOT the investigating body then anyone please tell me who to contact regarding this travesty. thank you
What is this craziness?!!
OMg this really has me going… Im going to start a petition… a big one.. this is too much… but it will be effective because the abusers are known and it’s big business… I cant bare to see this antonia these are majestic horses! 🙁
I’m absolutely appalled!!
tag me, Lauren. I will definitely sign and share!!!!
I will post..
This is no substitute for proper training. Whoever did this to this horse and left it in this concrete cage should be banned from competition or ever having another horse.
Disgusting souls are the ones who do this, may they rot eternally in hell.
Horrible!!
The trainer need’s to be tied up with hay twine like the horse and see how he feel’s after oh 2 hours of this then un tied and re tied 2 hours later again I would be glad to help tie him up.
I’m from California and this is HORRIBLE! The people doing this should be shot, it is horrific!
Does the UK Hackney society know of this?
Was the horse saved?
Why this people mistreat the animals??? why this people don’t love animals??? what they are going to get with this??? We should name them and shame these people, I am agreed. We should send the authorities!!!!Animals also deserve to be loved, respected and good care.
do the same thing to the PRICKS that did this only no stoping see how loud they can holler.
terrible way to treat horses,,, sad sad.
are you there ?
Sickening.
Absolutely disgusting….they should not be allowed to keep horses..
Arseholes!
They should have it done to them and see how they like it
publish the names and pictures of the sadists who authorize and/or carry out these practices next to the pictures of their victims–shame them.
this isn’t just cruelty it’s barbaric, they should have this done to them & see haw they like it, these animals have feelings & people wonder why they animals have no respect. xx
hi maz how are you ?
so discusting, how can people do this to such beautiful animals,i just cant believe it 🙁
most this people rot i hell
såda noget forbandet svineri håber fandme de mishandler dør en ond død
oh my god! Just when I thought it could not get much worse than using a bungie or side reins to tie down neck someone manages to stoop lower, discusting horrible people!
That’s made me feel sick to the stomach. Poor poor horse xx
hey I’m a female bouncer take me along and ill tie them up the same way absoultly appaling what they have been getting away with, they would soon stop if I had 5 miuites with them.
You sort them Julie X
Why do people even consider this is acceptable – but when the judges pick horses that unnaturally look like the results this kind of torture produces – then sick people are always going to do this – bring back natural looking horses in the show ring……and make these people pay for the horrid torture they have inflicted on these horses.
Absolutely appalling. Shame on them. :0(
I am a great believer in what people do to animals, it should be done back to them!
We have a huge problem In Miami Florida like this amongst the Latino community training paso finos I was a trainer of horses here I have seen the most horrendous torture of horses by so called trainers . I wish it could be stopped.
Let’s make it stop!
bloody disgusting, they should be banned from keeping/owning horses, surley the breed society have an oppinion.
They should do the same treatment to the owner
Wat verschrikkelijk!!!
Dear Hackney Stud Inspection, please put this awful abuse on Facebook for the world to share in order to prevent this!
The people who do this type of cruetly should have it done to them, see how it feels! poor horses hope they got a new kind home 🙁 🙁
yes Jackie they should !!!
the more you look at it you can nearly feel the horses pain !!!
Y do they do tha to the horse wots it ment to do like x
Because they think it looks good when the is being ridden to have its head that way, but im shocked that they havnt broke its neck! xx
Sad twats shud try it on there own necks c ow they like it xx
Whoever had the nerve to do that should be locked up!! Animals dont deserve to be treated like that !! X
And the poor horse has probly had a good beating too to get that bailing twine there!! poor things x
So is someone going to tell us who it was that did this…a lot of people, it seems, would like to know!
c’est juste ignoble, vive les cons !
eurk je devine le truc rien de voir la photo… Heureusement qu’on a pas trop de truc comme ça chez nous! Espèrons que ça n’arrives jamais par ici
and what happens to the person who did this to the Horse ? I am sure nothing.
Go to fucking hell you sick creature. No respect for people like you.
The usual 3rd world shit.
That is frightning and very disturbing….
Oh my god, I am in severe shock right know! How can people be so cruel to helpless creatures?! Hopefully everyone responsible for this cruelty will be punished and shamed in front of the public! They should never be allowed to come close to any animal for the rest of their lives!!!
tie them up and see how they like it, better still I will come and tie them up TIGHT, them poor horses, shame the horse did`nt kick shit out of him.
I bloody hope those bastards arre going to pay dearly, get them horses out, there not fit to take care of any if they are capable of doing this…[:@] Its made me so fxxxxxg angry.
We need to bring awareness to those who feel that winning is more important then the well being of the animal. It needs to start from the bottom) grass-roots casual rider all the way to the top – the judges who would place horses in the winning circle that are braced into an artificial frame. Lets all work together to help each and every animal to feel safe and cared for.
That is some sickening stuff, wherever it is I hope their animal abuse laws are much tougher than ours.
This kind of thing HAS to stop. Karen’s absolutely right, we must raise a protest at every level.
I’ve never seen anything so sick. I hope these people are thrown in jail for the rest of their lives.
This is really horribly sad. It is so strange to me that in a lot of ways we seem to be moving away from natural beauty (e.g., deathly skinny models, German Shepherds that can barely walk, and this). Why do we resist mother nature’s design?
They want that doing 2 fhem c how they like it fhe cruel evil sdds.
Best idea would be to take that trainer try the same thing on them and she how soon they’d do it to horses again!
see that is.
I would love to adopt this poor lovely horse and provide him a wonderful life .. he will be mentally & physically in pain for ever .. horses have a memory ! je te hais sale type et ne viens jamais par ici !! this is TORTURE and TORTURE IS A CRIME !
I hope the f**in owner was sued !! SUED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate you deeply, shame on you ! may u roast in pieces ! I spit on you ! bastard !
OMG.. HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO CRUEL!
this is sickening
its yuck 🙁
Omg how shocking and cruel are these people xx poor guys.
Wann hat diese quälerei ein ende?
I agree with you Linnette , take me along with you , we will do the same to them , ive tears rollin down my face ere , cut the bastards balls off , people like that ave no heart , i love animals more than humans sorry to say , but true xx.
Where did this happen?
Heartbreaking!
Unbelievable! I´m deeply shocked about the brutality.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? THEIR NAMES SHOULD BE OPEN TO PUBLIC AND THEY SHOULD BE BANNED FROM EVER OWNING OR BEING NEAR ANOTHER ANIMAL!
Not felt so angry in a long long time! Unforgivable and totally unnecessary.. The poor horses eye says it all..
It’s utterly disgusting! Very upset! Can’t believe people would do this, they must be prosecuted and banned from all and any animal ownership for life!
I don’t know whether to be angry or sad…maybe both!!!
Verschrikkelijk dit om te zien , dit moeten ze hetzelfde bij die mensen doen weten ze ook eens hoe het voeld om gemarteld te worden!!!Hier moeten ze echt hééél zwaar voor gestraft worden vind ik.
Had het gelezen ja echt heel ziek! Straffen die mensen.
Afgrijselijk! Waar gaat het een met de paardnsport 🙁
ieuwwwwww viezerikken
mit solchen Schweinen muesste man das gleiche machen.Diesen Tierquälern muesste man das handwerl legen.Die duerften nicht mehr aufstehen.Dreckschweine
Pictures like these need to be on the front pages of the national Sunday newspapers so that people know not to deal with these bastards – look at the expression on that poor animal – what is he feeling, besides the horrific pain?
Absolutely incredible .. sad to say that though you’re accross the globe, this shit sadly .. very saddly.. happens all over
These poor animals…. shut them down….
That breaks my heart. The perpetrators should be made to endure the same.
Diese Leute sind KRANK! Wie kann man bloss mit so tollen Tieren so umgehen.
Some people are not fit to go near animals let alone own them. It is great this horse was found and something done.
What this “people” do with allready ONE horse, they do that for ALL horses on this poor poor world… :-((((
Ganz furchtbar!
Grauenhaft! Wie ekelhaft doch manche Menschen sind! Wo bleiben nur die Tierschutzgesetze?
Why? What do you hope to achieve with this appalling treatment. For hundreds of years horses have transported us, provided many with livelihoods, entertained us in one sport or another and given their lives in appalling circumstances in warfare and yet in this day and age this is how some see fit to treat them! I’m ashamed to be regarded as a human being!
There is one practical way to deal with those responsible short of shooting them. Put them before a court, heavily fine them, or imprison them, and most importantly, either way, impose a LIFETIME BAN ON KEEPING ANY ANIMAL with a dedicated team of people to police them. Also at the homes of these criminals, because that’s what they are, the authorities should make an order that any animal stabling, shed or kennels must be demolished coupled with the confiscation of any land to pay for prosecution costs. This harsh treatment would only need to be meted out a few times for the message to get through. This is the only way to ensure the protection of these animals. These shouldn’t be allowed to care for a pot plant never mind an animal.
I should like just 60 seconds with whoever did this! Its certainly not a true horseperson.
are you going to prosecute these people! This is all over the web and an outcry is beginning worldwide. It must be in your power to prosecute, so pPlease prosecute these reprehensible people so they no longer can own animals. It not, please turn it over to authorities that can bring animal abuse charges against these monsters.
absolutely disgusting
Ich bin fassungslos, zu was Menschen fähig sind. Der das getan hat, gehört weggesperrt, und selbst gefoltert!!!
Yes I agree name & shamed, out of horse world, forbidden ever to keep horses anymore nor other animals. This has shown enough that they are not capable to keep animals and not to mention train such beautiful animals. When you lack the skills you start violonce! That simple, these are skillless, cruel people and top of it all – idiots!
Lets tightly tie twine around their mouths so the corners of there mouths are sliced and their neck muscles break down. Because apparently they think this sort of treatment’s alright. C*nts.
want do the same to the owners and trainers but with no break.
That is so disgusting! Thank god that twine didn’t slice into that poor horses mouth! They should be closed down!
That horse is so stressed it’s unbelieveable, just look at how pumped his veins are!
That’s horrible! There’s really no need for it!
I would do the same to these sick bastards…i would do that from their jaw to there dick and pull the string tight as possible!
Where the hell do they get these f**ked up idears from!
absolutely terrible why cant some people let horses look like horses…natural!
Those poor animal. Who ever it was wants naming and shaming so that they are never allowed near another animal again
That’s absolutely disgusting, I’d like to do that to people’s mouths with baling twine for hours and see how they like it cutting into their flesh and holding their heads in completely unnatural positions
totally vile practice,goes against nature and the welfare of of the horse.these people should be banned from breeding and i hope they get held into accound for this un-necessary torture.
This is appalling in the extreme! Those b**tards shpuld never be allowed anywhere near an animal again. Personally I would have them skinned alive-slowly! Heartbreaking pictures! 🙂
This is just disgusting!!!!!whoever did this to these poor poor horses should have the same thing done to them.
I would say they need it doing to the owners but that would be to kind I cant say on here what I would do them.
Bastards
Such cruelty. Soooo sad.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr heartless b****** sorry had to say it. they need horse whipping , with my lovely lunge whip don’t use crops but on this occasion yes makes my boil boil let me at who done this.
THERE MUST BE A DECENT ANIMAL LOVING ATTORNY OR SOMEONE OUT THERE TO HELP SHOOT THESE IDIOTS? COME ON-COME FORWARD.
THIS IS APPALING…. PLEASE SOMEONE CLOSE CAN YOU NOT TRY DO SOMETHING OR GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE ON TO THIS STUD
Karen Kemp to the rescue – whoever has her mail address – please forward to her…..
People like these should should be band from having livestock if that doesn’t work string him up by his balls I will pull the rope with pleasure
could someone please tell me what the reason is for doing this to horses?
omg ive seen somethings but this is sick take a step back and look at these poor animals suffering under so called training techniques well give me the trainers and id gladly tie down their jaws for a couple of hours.
disgusting
Never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to to get a 50c ribbon.
what is wrong with theses people do the same to the bastards then shoot them!
Gruwelijk!!!
why? I don’t understand….. bloody bastards….
was soll man da noch sagen
Einfach nur abartig!
Oh mein Gott sowas hab ich ja noch nie gesehen! Diese Riesen-Arschlöcher unglaublich!!!!
ich habe immer schon gesagt die funktioieren nicht einfach so ich kriege echt eine hass attacke
This is really discusting!!!!!!!! How can a human with a heart do this????? Well i guess they don’t have a heart!
unfassbar!!! :((( da könnte man glatt zum mörder werden…
I felt sick looking at this…signed & shared..all this for man’s entertainment!
It makes me cry seeing people treat these fabulous animals like this, they should be strung up themselves with string.
passed my comment, utter cruelty!!
Oh boy Ive seen some terrible things in my time but this is just so wrong. What ever happened to riding your horse into a frame, and I don’t mean dragging its head down like some dressage riders I know. Even my showie friends would never consider this. Makes you wonder how they got found out? Bet someone that cares bubbled them, thank God for that one person.
They should be ashamed of themselves, 2.2 to the trainers?
this is so horrible…can I just say if this horse had a bridle on and a rider in dressage arena in the same outline would so many people be cross? because it happens lots.
That’s just awful, how people can treat animals like that is beyond me. The people who inflicted that on the poor horses want the same thing doing to them!
sick bastards
These bastards should be hung!!!
Thank god someone spoke out! I Hope and Pray they are banned from ever keeping horses again or any other animal for that matter! The Courts must make them stand for 2hrs at a time with twine tying their arms and legs together and making them balance on one leg! Poor horses, peace and a brighter future be with you xx <3 xx.
Well this is an example that we have created hell on earth and allow the low life rabid human scum to get away with this treament of horses and other mamals, until they are given a fine and sent to a bed and breakfast they call Jail. Not good enough in my book love to know who the low life human scum responsible for this is. But no of course they are protected by human law under some privacy law that a human wrote. It is so wrong!
This is aboslutley discusting 🙁
Sickning.
It is just horrible and not the only form of cruelty humans subject animals to.
This absolutely disgraceful behaviour should be reported in the national press and these people – who no one will consider to be horsemen – should be brought to justice.
I pray that you name these people to shame them publically and prosecute them under the law. This just disgusts me that people can have such disregard to the care and welfare of such innocent creatures.
dislike!!!!
Disgust…shame….how can humans be so awful.
Omg! Just brutal. People consistently have the ability to absolutely disgust me.
I just can’t even imagine how “broken” these horses must be, both physically and mentally. It’s just so sad. I hope that these people are prosecuted to the full extent of the law (and their names made public)!!!
we should do that to their private parts.
That is sick hope those people are charged
where exactly is this? Where is N. Cape? what kind of training was this for, I saw the “sweat strap” on the neck of one..usually that’s done in Saddleseat show barns here in USA..what kind of barn was this? Harness horses??
Made me feel sick to my gut, discusting.Has to be stopped.
what is wrong with these people. I hope they get what’s coming to them.
Do the same to the person that did that to that poor horse.
I believe that because there is a court case pending they cannot be named by those involved. However, if anyone here is a budding journalist here is a story for you.
Tell everybody who they are so people wont want to buy from them. They should be jailed for this. Cruel evil idiots who clearly no nothing about horses. Ill pay my own way to come and stop them.
Hideous cruelty.
Dirty Rat Bastards!
wankers…and I hope you read this,,
hoe kun je zo met je paarden omgaan? dat doe je toch niet? ze zouden de eigenaar zo op moeten binden….
Inderdaad, gewoon de eigenaar zelf op een onmogelijke manier vastbinden en nooit meer naar om kijken. Eens zien hoe fijn die dat vind…
One word: Cunts.
close them down NOW !!!!!
and well said Emily xx
close them down NOW!
What is shown in that image is just how retarted and ‘stomach churning’ sick the human race can be… I am disgusted. Who the hell are the odd balls doing this and what are they doing walking around in society owning horses when they should be locked up, medicated to the eyeballs somewhere!
This is actually disgustingg!! Makes me soo angryyy
oh my god this is so horrible!! tired legs from hours of riding properly in the snaffle would result in a much happier horse willing to put the effort in for you! so so sad
Grrrrrrr what the F***. These people are sick MotherF***ers. I would love to go with ya too Linette. You know what I would do to these F***ers? I would tie that baling twine around their balls, pull it up between their legs from behind than wrap it tight around their neck not for 2 hours but til their balls fall off than shut the stall door, lock it, walk away and leave them there on the ground to suffer.
The way we treat our animals….. is a reflection of the way we treat ourselves!
those assholes should be bound and gagged and hung up high on the next tree!
poor horses all done in the name of beauty when a horse is most beautifull in its natural state…hope they got what they deserved.
They should make the people who did this stand for 2 hours like that
I cannot believe that people who are sopposed to love horses could do something so horrific as this! These beautiful animals will not only be scarred physically but mentally too! Shame on you disgusting exscuses for a human being! I hope you get your just desserts and someone does this to you and see how you feel. You are not fit to work with these beautiful creatures, it makes me so mad I wish I could get my hands on you!
Fucking Poepol!!!!! Hope something is being done bout this!!!!!! Asshole hope he burns in Hell!!!!!!!
Is someone saving these horses and make sure they can´t have horses anymore?
You all deserve so much support. How can the Classical Riding Club help? The unbelievably barbaric photo is posted on our FB sites, but seriously – just commenting probably will not make much difference. Anything else you suggest? Some government agency to write to, or tourism one – which might make a few people sit up – as they do when it could hurt their purse? Did the owners of this horse not realise what they were doing? Let us know and many prayers for all horses being tortured like this.
I have no words !!!
Unbelievable cruelty and stupidity. And they call themselves humans?
This is sickening, How could they do such a cruel thing to such a honest animal.
signed this last week
www.thepetitionsite.com/23/South-Africa-Stop-Hackney-Stud-Abuse/?cid=FB_Share
Vile and perverted treatment of a majestic creature. unbelievable….the people involved should never ever own an animal again….
You are totaly right, we have to think about how we can change something to help!
My heart starts racing and my hands shaking as I look at these photos – what can we do?
this is so upsetting, please lets do something to stop this now x
We’re trying….
I’m Speechless, The B**tards who did this want the band in their mouth and tied around their knees for 2 hours at a time. Who in their right minds things this is exceptable. Silent sufferers our horses its about time something was done about it ALL. WHAT CAN WE DO?
omg,i cant repeat what im thinking….
Unfortunately Sis, you can’t do anything about it. There will always be sick f*****s in this work, and loony liberals who don’t punish them, because “it’s not their fault”.
Personally I’d torture the b******s, before putting them out of societies misery, but the do good brigade would never allow it!
**world**
I have no words.. My heart bleeds..
Omg…. Tenk å gjøre det :((…. Idioter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that rules should be layed out with regards to the training of any type of animal so that when the time comes to monitor and lay charges there is some form of punishment that can be handed out. I hope that the culprits will one day feel the pain that they have put these amazing animals through.
ABSOLUTELY appalling and so VERY cruel and VERY sad! Bring them to book indeed!
very sad what people can do to animals..the indonesians are still slaughtering our cows inthe most cruel way and nobody is ding anything???? honestly….makes me sick
Horrible… It sickens me!
Grusomt!!!! 🙁
DIRTY LOW LIFE MONGRELS!
OMG thats terrible, They should have there balls tied up
Absolutely disgusting those poor horses.
what are they tryi.g to achieve? I dont understand the trainers logic behind this??
trying*
that is how they like their horses to carry their heads…there are so many Much nicer ways to teach a horse how and where to hold its head… Would love to tie their nuts to their tongue and see how they like it…
It never ceases to amaze me how humans can be so cruel when it comes to animals….especially the horse. These A-HOLES need to be shot & even then that would be to good for them.
Please , we must help the horses ! It is terrible !……….
Only together we can HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vreselijk, welk mens doet zo iets? Goed dat dit aan het licht komt!!! Oppakken die beulen en bestraffen!!!!
OMG! LOCK THESE BASTARDS UP FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. I HOPE THE ANIONALS GET CONFISCATED IMMEDIATELY! LET ME KNOW I WILL GIVE THEM HOMES.
that is horrible! these people are sick in their heads! I actually hope they go to rot in hell!
If this had been in Norway, the trainer had been jailed for three or four years !!! If I had meet the trainer, he had died !!!!!
I like YOUR comment!
Bastards! they need to be locked up for a very long time!
and a life time ban on keeping ANY animals, not just horses.
I’d like to do the same to them……
the problem is, that we are surrounded by these kind of people everywhere. unfortunately, as long as animals are “things” in juridical terms, this and even worse things will continue to happen… so please let us all engage politically for animals not be treated as things any more! it needs to be officially outlawed.
engage in politics 🙂
This is just obscene and hope and pray these people go to hell.
Wasn’t it hideous Carole….and this goes on so much…not just hackneys but other breeds too….. awful people need shooting or at least been banned from keeping horses for ever….
The stud needs to be permanently closed and all the people responsible severely punished. Maybe gaol with twine in their mouth pulling their necks into position.
Which country is this?
Horrfying but “A Hackney Stud” – Why don’t you name and shame?
This is so cruel!
it’s sickening and it’ disgusting – hope the inspectors did the same to the groom or trainer..
Krass..
Cut the twine off the horses and tie it around the trainers/owners neck!
Honte à ses éleveurs ou propriétaires de ces chevaux qui ne connaissent que la torture et la cruauté pour arriver à leur fin. Ces gens là devraient être sévèrement punis par la justice et ne plus être autorisé à posséder des chevaux ou autres animaux car s’ils le font sur des chevaux j’imagine que d’autres animaux aussi sont torturer par ces gens sans connaissances, qu’ils aillent tous en enfer !!!!
Omg! What a stupid peoples :/ , poor horse
I can not believe that people like this still have animals. Hope they burn in HELL!
Ek voel ook so Marlene. Het na laas jaar se fiasko by Hoefslag aansoek gedoen vir die pos van “hoof vuurstoker” in die afdeling van die hel waar al hierdie idiote gaan brand!
Marlene-this is EXACTLY what I was fighting against !!! The ‘Saddler Half Breed ‘ that was employed on the farm had suggested similar methods & I could not subject horses to this brutal practice !! It cost me dearly- but I would do it all over again !!!!
What I want to know is, what was done to help these horses?
I am not a violent person, but I would love to get to the so-called trainer/owner of these horses. I have to be honest, I didn’t have the guts to look at all the pictures. I was afraid I would go out, find these people and do the same to them. Please name them, so that we all can shame them!
Oh my word how can a people do such a cruel things to innocent animals, they require love, patience hard work and time to perfect them not torture. People like that will drive me to violence!
This reminds of methods used in a book from the 1890’s!
I just read this article, its absolutely horrible, I hope someone dies this to the owner of this poor horse. Sandra you should be very proud that you have 2 studs on your property and don’t have to do anything like this, your boys are very well behaved, it all comes down to intelligent verses ignorant horse owners
whoops i meant does, not dies
Horses need to be handled with dignity and respect mutually by both
These people need their a** kicked, i hope they are public shamed!
they need to have that done to them as they do these horse and have their hands tied behind their backs so they couldn’t get loose. The Bastards!
I CAN’T bear to look at more than this thumbnail. I can’t imagine how people can be so cruel and how they can do it to WIN..
i kno linda. heck i cant repimend my child so i kno i couldnt do this sick crap that they are doin
I need to know and hope, were the horses taken away? Please say yes.
I say take that twine and tie them up like that and see how it works for them.
Why wont the HHCU tell us publicley who they are or what has happened to the horses? Is there a legal reason? Look how many people want to know! If that’s the case then as soon as you are legally allowed to tell us, please do…we are all waiting to hear.
Cela ne devrait pas exister!!!!ces gens n’ont pas de coeur!!!
Bastards !!!
Sick people..man.. Horsemen. My A**… not much to say about people like that..beside..hoping that to go straight to hell!
That is stunning……….I suspect that this practice happens more often than we know.
What is wrong with people?
c’est une honte; ressortez la guillotine pour ceux qui font subir de telles atrocités
I would love to shoot the people that do this, they don’t deserve to live. May God have a special wrath on the pigs that do this abuse to these wonderful creatures.
I tried to find a way to sign a petition and I can’t seem to find it can someone help me so I can sign against this torture.
This is horrible and I hope it is stopped. Has someone been contacted? SPCA or Dept. of Agriculture to have these idiots looked into! God help these poor horses!
There’s a protest form that you can sign too Shelly. They are trying to get this stopped. It’s barbaric to say the least. :/
It’s disgusting!
stupidity breeds cruelity…it’s hard to believe these people have any education. They are obviously uncapable of knowing what right or wrong.
what so called “purpose” do these “techniques” serve in the minds of the breeders?? curious….
I suspect they feel it helps in the way a horse carries their head in the show ring. A horses head is supposed to be relaxed and not carried high
Šílenost!! Nechat zav?ít ty lidi!!!
elektrický k?esla na n? ;))
on devrait faire le même à ceux qui font sa à leurs chevaux !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! et après on rigoleras bien !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let the people who wants to keep animals in South Africa, pay for an animal license like way back in the good old days. If something like this happens, the owner’s animals should be confiscated and owner hanged.
Skokkend!!! Kyk net die perd se tande, daar is niks!!! Is hy so jonk of oud of is dit uitgeslaan!!
This is shocking! Look at the horse’s teeth. or the lack of it! Is he that young or have they been knocked out!
This just shows how man will destroy hurt and maim at every opportunity I wander how God feels when he sees what man is doing with his creation
Sad indeed!
Disgusting! Thank goodness for observant people who have a conscience and a heart.
In the name of ….? Who the hell does this?? If this is for fashion… or some other bloody insane obsession… Animals do no deserve this and the owners can go rot in a cell… disgraceful… yes and thank goodness for kind people with guts and determination to make things better
string them up by their balls or whatever hurts the most.
I agree Terry, it’s disgusting
That is so cruel! Those poor horses. What you wouldn’t like to do to those bastards. They need stringing up!
Mir ist schlecht geworden, als ich die Bilder sah… ich wuenschte, ich haette sie mir gar nicht angeschaut. Solche Tierquaelerei muss beschtraft werden, ich glaube nicht that simple education is going to be enough!
How can I help to stop this? Have authorities (Humane Society, Anti-cruelty Organisations, Horse Rescue Groups, Animal Protection Agencies, etc.) been informed? Will anybody help, take responsibility?
Furchtbar gell, aber Du weisst ja jetzt wo meine Seite ist, meine Freundin Jenny Burger macht hier sehr oft petitions rein fuer alle Tiere. Bitte helfe mit und unterschreibe sie. Love Inka
STOPPPPPPPP J’en vomis de dégout pour ces gens qui disent être des éleveurs de chevaux. STOP
Just give me ten mins in a room wi the sick freak who did this and I’d show them pain! this is so sick and wrong.
There arme Kerl!
Ja, leider wird so etwas gemacht! Echt traurig!
horrible, horrible, horrible….
Mir wird ganz schlecht…..
danke dir Walburga,für dein Aufmerksam machen.
Oh my god this is gross!!!!!! Think of the mental damage!
MAIS C EST MONSTRUEUX!
DAS SOLLTE MAN MIT DEM AUCH MACHEN.
why do they do this? What is their reasoning behind this?
oh gott… das is ja so schrecklich…
so etwas hat kein pferd oder pony verdient! wer so ein pferd oder pony behandelt dem sollte man genauso behandeln mal sehen wie sehr es ihm dann weh tut!
poor horse-people are crap!
sorry dont think i can,would upset me to much
We are awaiting the outcome of the hearing which will be held by the Hackney Society of SA in May 2012. We are also expecting to be subpoenaed shortly for the court case in which we have laid charges against the owner and trainer of these animals.
I cannot believe that any human could do this to a horse! I pray that Karma works fast…
Sickening beyond words!! How can they believe this “training method” is justified?!?!?
Peut-être qu’une idée personnelle, mais… ils n’ont jamais songé qu’un cheval entier, bien dans son corps et dans sa tête, serait toujours plus prometteur que des chevaux massacrés comme ça? Traumatisés, qui vivent en enfer, ils ne doivent plus avoir aucune envie de se donner dans le travail!
these people are the scum of earth and deserve the same treatment.
How awfull! They should do the same to those people before sending them straight to hell!
this is bad, and it seems like I may know these people. I wonder how they would feel if they were the ones with nylon in there mouths.
I can´t find the right words… I thought nothing can shock me anymore… when will they ever wake up! this is so, so bad… this must be stopped.
That sick, cruel, stupid heart- and brainless.Please stop that now. I feel endless sadness :((((.
may all this and more will happen to those who have done this to these amazing animal friends :-((.
wat on earth is this world coming to! God definately could not have created them! soo sad
If horses could speak….. what a terrible screeming it would be!
Å det är tur att JAG inte är en häst! Då hade jag varit slaktad vid det här laget! :-))
Wie krank ist das? Ich bekomme diese Bilder nicht mehr aus meinem Kopf. Mir wird schlecht.Man sollte das selbe mit den Menschen machen, die das den Pferden antun. Diese sch.. Typen sollten daran ersticken, das Pferd bekommt auch keine Luft mehr.
I Honestly rate that this kind of people should not get away with this kind of sick stuf! they should reveive actions against them and the horses should be handed to someone that has the correct facilities to look after them and treat them with love and respect! Actually these people should go to jail and never come out of there! Horses should not be treated like this ever! I personally think these people shout be treated like they treated this horses! sick people like this should not be called HUMANS!
This is heartbreaking!
Dear animal torturers,
one should make this with you what you do to the horses (Hackney).
this is only the opinion of an animal welfarist.
Maybe the same treatment should be done to the people who did this. You certainly cannot call them horsepeopjle.
