Horses in Herston Fields

Does anyone know who owns the horses in Herston Fields? If so could you please tell the owner that the horses have no access to food or water. The only water source is from muddy puddles. Eleven horses, including a very young foal, have been in the lower field next to the main road for over three weeks (they are usually in the top fields) so there is very little grass left. Now the ground is covered with snow the horses should have access to hay. Many concerned people have already called the RSPCA at Ringwood 0300 123 0749, and will continue to do so until the situation for these poor animals improves.

I believe the owner is the Scott Estate. The agents are Savills.

I saw them taking hay into the field yesterday lunchtime. They were parked up opposite the fish and chip shop and lugging the hay over.

There is no excuse for not feeding the horses. I don't know, but I wonder if there was a reason they were moved to this field in this cold weather? Many owners are having difficulty getting water to their horses without it icing over. The muddy puddles refered to are actually springs in the middle of the field and so have been able to provide both the horses and large numbers of birds with fresh water as even last week they did not freeze over.
