Happy holiday for Gracie-May
A horse which arrived emaciated at Bristol charity Horseworld is celebrating the new year after making a full recovery. Gracie-May, a popular seven-foot-tall heavy breed horse now lives a full life at HorseWorld Visitor Centre in Whitchurch, 11 years after she first appeared at the yard in need of help. When the horse arrived from north east Somerset in 2001 she was extremely emaciated and had lost most of her hair. But she was nursed back to full health by HorseWorld staff and after spending time at a loan home, she now lives happily in the charity's grounds. She recently spent a special Christmas holiday at HorseWorld's behind-closed-doors Welfare Yard, just up the road from the Whitchurch Visitor Centre.
Yard manager Karen Hardwick said: 'Gracie is a very happy horse who just loves meeting and greeting her many admirers at our visitor centre. But like most people, she appreciates a change of scene from time to time and so she had a few days to graze and roam in some of HorseWorld's 180 acres of land in Whitchurch during the Christmas and New Year period. Meeting some horses she hadn't encountered before, Gracie made some new friends too.' Gracie is 17 hands high and now a healthy animal after her recovery.
She joined hundreds of other rescued horses at the HorseWorld charity which rehabilitates and re-homes up to 100 abandoned, neglected and mistreated horses every year. HorseWorld's 365-days-a-year animal welfare work is funded by voluntary donations from the public

“I still wonder on those who advocate the breaking of laws, good or bad. The fact is, the Heythrop Hunt KNEW and deliberately broke the law...then didn't have the courage to hold its hands up when faced with facts so therefore extending the trial to where there was only one conclusion. It stands to reason that honesty, courage and integrity is something that is apparently NOT recognised by the Heythrop Hunt.”

“Fox hunting was never an issue for the British population at large; just an extremely vociferous, self-important minority, who dislike having their bigotry challenged.

“Historically people will always break bad laws.. The motorway 70mph limit for example.
But what a tremendous amount of good Horse World could have done with the staggering £326,000 the RSPCA spent on posh lawyers prosecuting the Heythrop Hunt.
That was just the unacceptable face of 'Charities' and their 'illegal' politics.

“But surely, the RSPCA wouldn't have spent this money if Heythrop Hunt hadn't broken the law in the first place (4 times that that is - convicted of anyway). You can turn it round to say, due to the selfish nature of the Heythrop Hunt who deliberately and knowingly, broke the law several times cost a charity (in this case the RSPCA) £326,000. It was highlighted that costs mounted because the Heythrop Hunt blatantly denied that they broke the law, which in turn, they knew was untrue. This hasn't done the integrity of the Heythrop Hunt or any other hunt any good at all.”
