I got a reply this morning from the people who were responsible for trying to rescue these poor ponies and I am happy to report that ALL were found homes and NONE will go to slaughter
nikki yes the breeder is breeding more these are wild ponies living in the wild of snowdonia so the mares will already be in foal for next , i have tried to say on another site about rallying round and trying to change there ways regarding breeding that like the new forest maybe they should take the stallions off for the odd year to reduce stock etc apparently though there is one stallion that evades caption every year so unless they are all caught it would not work ! so unless something is done there will be 100 odd foals going to market each year
Ponies in urgent need- due for slaughter ! updated
