Exeter Livestock centre sales 12/11/13

Our welfare officer attended Exeter livestock centre on 12th November 2013. There were 27 horses and ponies for sale, The top priced paid was £380 for a 7 year old bay gelding, while welsh mountain filly foals were selling for only £70. Most horses were left unsold returning back to their owners. No meat dealers were present and the sale went smoothly.

Horses and ponies were moved around the centre in a calm safe manor with minimal stress to the equines. Hay, water and bedding were provided for a few horses but not provided by all......

 Our welfare officer stayed until the end of the sale, assisting loading and ensuring that all horses and ponies were moved and handled correctly onto the transport.
