22 A Billinge horse owner is asking members of the public not to feed horses whilst out and about. With country walks on the increase during the pandemic, horse owners across the UK have reported incidents where horses and ponies have suffered and died due to well-meaning passers-by feeding them without permission. Jenny Walsh, along with fellow horse owners on the same Billinge yard, is the latest horse owner to take action to stop these incidents happening. Jenny said, “We have put new signs on the field fences and gates and have posted messages about this issue on local community blogs, but some people continue to disregard all this. “Horses have delicate digestive systems and are unable to be sick, so ingesting something that their body cannot deal with can often lead to a very painful and distressing death. “Just as you wouldn’t give a child some sweets without permission or feed a dog a LeafLet Distribution service Your leaflets delivered alongside this magazine to up to 39,000 local homes Flexible service for all businesses, large and small Prices from £27.50 per thousand (minimum 4,000 leaflets) Call or email us for a Leaflet Coverage List then simply chose the postcode areas you want to target Call us on 01744 649722 Email chrisp@locallife247.co.uk www.locallife247.co.uk Rein It In GPs Tracked Distribution DesiGn & Print services also available LocalLife treat without asking its owner, don’t feed a horse or pony. “Look at the horses and take pictures, but please don’t touch or feed them. I know people mean well but, whilst they can just walk away after feeding horses, owners can be left with vet’s bills for thousands of pounds because of their actions”. Fellow horse owner Tracey Holland, pictured above with 11-year-old Troy, also warned against petting horses. “If you pet horses at the gate, they think that they are being fed, so they can bite your fingers”, said Tracey, admitting that her own horse Troy had even bitten her a few times. The campaign to stop the public from feeding horses gathers momentum, with extensive coverage in national magazine, Horse and Hound, and the campaign has also reached social media. ‘Stop Feeding our Horses’ is a Facebook group consisting of almost 10,000 members and was created by former horseowner Hannah Johnstone whose Welsh gelding Lightning died after he was fed a raw potato.
