I love people like this that go miles and miles to save these horses. it amazes me how much dedication they have

I can't stand animal abuse ! I just cant

theyre well looked after you say? well then why do you have a DEAD HORSE IN YOUR FIELD!

[@LB-ou8wt]

[@MysticXcreature]

"They were in good condition" Apart from the fact that one was dead and another couldn't walk... :/

[@beverlydiltz316]

I would just like to say that here in America where I live I have seen many deplorable conditions going unnoticed. Reports never followed through. I am amazed at what you have accomplished and am very proud to have seen your work. Very hard to witness but so true around the World. God speed and I hope I can spread the word here about your organization.

That man should never own any animal, there is obviously something wrong in his head

Well just looking at him explains it all.

[@stripeyhorsestudios7800]

How could people treat horses like this

[@l337pwnage]

well, I think someones comment about mental illness explains it. He sure seems to act erratically and not seem to know what is going on.

[@sarahbarham8592]

l337pwnage Yep. Everything about how he looks, speaks, and acts says "mentally ill" to me. I feel sorry for both him and the horses.

[@nina-mo1ys]

How has he sacrificed 'his life'????????????????? More like the horses sacrificed their life....

[@kelliemccafferty8283]

This is horrific! I have a pony that I rescued from the RSPCA, she had laminitis. Trust me you do know when a horse has laminitis! Anyway my welsh pony is still going strong at the age of 23. It is not that difficult to look after them!

[@suemitchel-runow3566]

he fed the horses but did not keep up their care...but he looks like he may have mental issues

[@snazzydolphin5163]

R.I.P

[@anckothehaflinger]

This is so painful to watch. My own pony was overweight when I got him as an 8 yr old. About 3 years in he came down with chronic laminitis and was diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (type 2 diabetes) a few years later. I have gone to great effort to ensure he's kept in a place with a bark or sand paddock so he can safely be turned out, while carefully monitoring his diet and exercise. These measures have successfully gotten his weight down, and he's now comfortable and healthy at the age of 18. If you can't provide the care the horse needs, you shouldn't have it. Simple.

[@GiselaSchlingmann]

My congrats for your successful fight against the laminitis!!

[@Amy-bt5wv]

“The horses were in good condition” shows dead stallion and a mare that can’t walk 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Great to see an organization having such motivated members and actually making a difference!

[@persephonealmana2631]

Ryder is a sick man! He claims he loves them, but how can he explain the dead stallion on his property?! Good thing he is banned from getting any more horses. They deserve better owners than sick and twisted ones.

[@thestupidgirlnooneloves7949]

I have 5 rescued horses. One is a Fjord mare, Second a Dutch warmblood stallion,Third a Thoroughbred that is a blue roan that has a blood mark and is a gelding,Fourth a mini that is a filly, and fith a Appaloosa × QH which is a mare.

"good condition" what the hell is wrong with you!!A HORSE IS DIED BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!

[@mochimacaroon400]

If that is good condition then I'd hate to see his definition of bad. Those poor horses, it's a shame they weren't able to save all of them but at least the few that were saved are in good hands. (posting this almoat a year latter but oh well..)

[@annchap1]

he should be in jail! In the US I believe he would have been. Can you imagine not being able to move without excrutiating pain? Watching your dead friend rotting next to you in the field. Attrocious! Laminitis can kill horses as the infection worsens. A horse, unlike a dog, cannot survive on 3 legs. Besides, all 4 feet were inflamed according to the report. In the wild horses run and play and that keeps the feet healthy. In human "care" they are kept in a controlled sized space. Also, horses have evolved to eat low quality food so this fresh green grass is too rich for their system. This horse should have been fed hay only until he healed, then limited to the amount of grass he can consume by controlling his access. It is horse 101 and anyone owning a horse should understand this. It is the responsibility of any animal owner to know how to properly care for that animal or they have no business possessing it. He should have rehomed them after his first encounter with this enforcement agency.

[@glitterfun2495]

[@foxymaryjane3540]

Thank you for giving the horses a voice!

[@francessweeney2308]

I would hardly call a field full of poisonous plants, rubbish, dirty water and no field shelter acceptable conditions for a horse. Those horses weren't thin, they were fat and one was laminitic on all four feet. The dead stallion's body would be contaminating the soil as it decomposed. Mr Ryder Large clearly was too proud to ask for help and advice, which would have been given by world horse welfare and information on how to carry out their advice. They could have helped with reducing the weight of the horses, fat scoring, laminitis prevention and many other field/stable management tips that would have negated the need for prosecution.

[@avengerz43]

“ they were in good condition “ * has 3 horses laying on ground overweighted or dead *

"they're in good condition, i sacrificed my life to feed them!" nah, if you didnt tell me i wouldve of thought your horse playing dead.

[@abizadddy]

it it good he can't have horses anymore but i couldn't help but laugh when he said "they were in good conditions!" and then showed the dead horse.

[@Magrune]

Yet he allowed the field to be unkept and it's just disgusting that he just cover of the dead stallion over with a tarp without reporting it and finding out the cause of death. Weeds toxic to horses or they consumed some rubbish, who knows...and he was too ignorant to care. That field was just a death trap from the git go. Good to hear he's not allowed to own any more horses.

"They were in good condition." /pans to horse laying dead in field. Yeah, OK, buddy....

[@ayyylmao101]

In my religion, animals have feelings and presence of mind, but not a soul, so they don't have an afterlife. So the idea that someone would hurt, abuse, or even kill an animal out of sadistic intention... how can you do that? You're not a psychopath, you're not literally incapable of feeling emotion. You did that knowing that it hurt those horses, and that's just evil. Disgusting.

[@inachu]

Cleaning hooves is easy and fast! I did that all alone when I was just 16.

[@heathert5455]

So, was that guy just going to allow that deceased stallion to rot out in his field? The body looked bloated to me.

Thanks for posting this. Hopefully it will teach horse owners to be more responsible & learn how to care for them!

[@Wavecattt]

Good work! Its nice to see how people are helping poor aniamals thank God!!

[@sanschill5765]

Why can't the USA deal with people who neglect / abuse horses and get help from the World Horse Welfare. Our family has reported cases of abuse of animals and no one came to help. We need World Horse Welfare here. Seems Great Britain is more on the ball dealing with people who do not care for animals; and in fact abuse by neglecting: no shelter, no adequate water, not enough food and not appropriate food.!

[@kurumais]

how do horses over eat on grass? isnt that their natural food? tia

[@gingersnap9585]

He said ” I sacrificed my life of 30 years feeding them”. It isn't a sacrifice, it is a choice. Horses are not just dumped onto people. He obviously chose to own these horses and then proceeded to choose not to care for them.

I really don't think this guy intended to abuse these horses... They were actually very fat..... I think he was over feeding them and didn't realize that this is harmful as not feeding them enough... U can't categorize him with the the people who get horses and starve them ... I think his issue is ignorance not purposely being abusive... Just my opinion

[@jetta.silence6356]

Thank you so much to WHW, spca and the judge for bringing this man to justice and giving him the sentence he got. I wish it had been a ban on owning any animal but this was a great start. I cant wait for more animal abusers to get top sentencing in the future. It is a gift to have animals in your life. If you care for them they will take care of you. If you don't know exactly how that works then you shouldn't have that special gift.I hope these horses live a long happy, comfortable life.

[@bgreen0115]

I never said the guy was mentally ill... It was obvious he just didnt know any better...there are many people who have pets that shouldn't... And are neglectful simply because of ignorance not always because of malice...

[@samadhi5757]

I don't think he was mentally ill either. I also don't think he understood what was happening to his mare and what also might have happened to the stallion he had. Lots of people think if they are feeding and watering regularly, patching up the occasional injuries that's all that's required. He even said he fed them, they were all in good weight and in fact they were. He simply didn't know about founder (laminitis), the connection with rich forage and surely had not called in a vet. If he could not afford it, he should have called World Rescue and the RSPCA and asked for their help. That's where his fault was really- not seeking adequate farrier and veterinary care.

[@mollyburn8999]

If someone doesn't know how to look after a horse then they should learn before they take one into their care, simple as that.

[@ania519]

Right? Also, 'they were in good condition' while there is a *dead stallion* in the field.

[@osorvei]

my uncle had a horse but he was unable to stop it from over eating, even though he did proper research and trying to keep the horse from doing these actions repetitively, the horse never got to any of these horses conditions and my uncle was so concerned for his horse's condition that he turned it over to a professional to see if their was a problem, it turned out the horse had a medical condition that could be treated and is live and well today, but in someone else's care because my uncle moved. No horse should ever be in this condition, ever.

[@krysty200112]

[@root6170]

Just plain sickening. Put him in jail and throw away the key.

[@Robertahausen]

[@AlaiaViper]

Feeding a horse is not the only obligation you have towards a horse if you own horses. Veterinary care (regular shots and care in case a horse shows discomfort etc), regular farrier visits (once every 6-8 weeks), daily exercise, grooming, attention, shelter and a well-kept field are ALL needed to have a healthy horse!

Thx for writing back Alyssa and enjoy your day

[@samadhi5757]

While I am very upset by what happened to the horses on the farm I'm not so sure the "Animal Police" are needed to go to everyone's farm to see how they care for their animals. It's an invasion of privacy for one thing. Better yet we enforce laws already on the books and ramp up the rescue facilities available for the unfortunate animals of the world. Owners selling to people need to be more certain the buyers can in fact care for the animal as well. That would go a long way to helping many. Don't sell just to unload an animal... be sure they can care for the horse, dog, whatever. I would be highly offended by anyone coming to just inspect my farm. I have nothing to hide but I don't need the government coming by to check on me.

[@bgood00]

I can't believe someone could do this to a horse and act like nothing is happening.

[@pennyridges]

So why is my farrier highlighting the plight of show horses, fattened purposely for the ring and a breath away from laminitis. This mans ignorance caused suffering, and he was rightly prosecuted and banned from keeping horses, but there's a culture of over feeding and fat horses at every show you go to.....why aren't they prosecuted? Why are judges heard to encourage more weight if people want to win??

[@rebeccasarah4362]

[@JesusGaveMeNewSoul]

Maybe a few of them were overweight but they look good, they were not thin, maybe few needed a diet but this is ridiculous they stole his horses! They should have monitored him and given him a chance to fix this issue with a few months diet they were not that overweight and the one that died could have had its stomach expand which happens when they die. Poor guy.

[@mollyburn8999]

It isn't just the fact that they were overweight (which can be just as dangerous as being underweight). The farrier/vet had not been called for a very long time, one of them was suffering from severe laminitis, and he tried to cover up a dead horse with a tarp. They didn't steal the horses, they saved them.

[@exolyoutube1321]

What about the chestnut mare that had laminitis? He obviously did not feed them the correct food. It did not register to him that what was happening to his horses was wrong or indecent in any way. He DID eventually change his plead to guilty. The chestnut mare was obviously in a lot of pain and laminitis does not get to the stage overnight. There must have been time where he could have called a vet or farrier to examine the mare and possibly get her help at least. He did not have his horses stolen from him. He willingly gave them up by mistreating them in such a way. We are at a day and age where this type of cruelty is just unacceptable.

[@kjenner707]
