Horse Sale at Hallworthy Market, Cornwall

Today SWEP attended the "Bonanza" Horse Sale at Hallworthy market to oversee the welfare of horses at the sale.  We found a miniature mare and foal entered into the sale that were deformed.  The owner tried to hide the ponies away in another person's lorry but SWEP reported these ponies to the authorities at the sale and the deformed ponies were subsequently withdrawn from the sale.

The rest of the sale ran smoothly and we were pleased to make good contact with the auctioneer.  We stayed until 7.30pm until all the horses and ponies (such as the ones below) had been loaded at the end of the sale.
