Thank goognes somebody actually is trying to do something about horse breeding. I am disgusted by the horse breeding industry, when I first decided to adopt a pony, I was SHOCED by the number of horses being traded, sold, given away and ultimately being dumped by people. The term brrodmare maes me sic to my stomach now. My Shiloh and BJ were both unwanted, Shiloh happened by some miracle to end up with a man who refused to sell him to people who would breed him thank goodness, so he found a free home with me and BJ was another, ‘my child grew out of him’ pony. Horse slaughter is DISGUSTING and breeding horses is just a side to this horrible practice. I hope this movement to ban breeding will spread and horses will find a voice through more and more compassionate human beings. Thank you.

As a member of http://equinewelfare.net/ this is a topic much discussed on the forum.Sadly most people think they have a right to breed. I have a backyard full of these horses that no one wants..
So how do we stop the idiots breeding more dogger horses?? this problen exsists all over the world.

We agree Glynis. Our campaign focuses on restricting breeding. But we stand by our plea to ask people to please STOP breeding, if only for a time, until the country can get a handle on the overwhelming numbers being killed. Whether or not someone is a “good” breeder will not stop their chance of ending up in the same place as horses coming from “bad” breeders. It’s simple maths. There is an oversupply of horses. We also agree that horses should not be sold ungelded. Our allegience is to the horses first. Always.

I love the work you guys do and support most of the goals, but even though i am against backyard breeders and people who breed without considering the outcome,
i don’;t agree with a blankett ban on breeding,
studs and breeders should be registered, and all colt foals should be gelded before sale unless sold to a licenced breeder,and i support microchipping as away of identifying stock, it is a cheep and easy way for sales and knackeries to check on ownership off horses and will help to track horses and their histories, i meet Amanda Vella through losing a horse under these circumstances, he was sold on while under a lease because they didnt pay his agistment,. however by the time i saw his photo’s it was to late for him. he was sold through the Beaudesert sales to the knackery and dogged. if they were chipped they could be scanned and the computers would pick up that they were stolen.

I couldn’t agree more. Not only does this apply to horses but all animals. We have so much sufffering & mistreatment of animals around the world. Unfortunately I don’t think you will ever stop the racing industry. I didn’t realise that they breed so many each year. Then they just get ‘rid’of them when they are not up to their standards. Keep up your great work. Creating awareness is so important.
