It's really worrying, as often these lead to copycat attacks. You keep asking yourself why would someone do this horrific attack. We will be keeping vigilant and hope the perpetrator will be found soon.

I hope this person knows that if i find them i will not be held responsible for beating the crap out of them. Some boys from cadettes fired an air rifle at the horses in our field last summer and i chased them down with my crop and they absolutely crapped themselves. I swear people who could kill a beautiful horse are a waste of space and air!

Oh, that poor horse! Some people are truly terrible. If i ever met that person i would do what they did to that poor horse. If that ever happened to one of my horses i would probably go insane, them having to live through that kind of torture before they died! Those poor people, those poor horses!

I hate animal cruelty and it's about time the police and courts took it even more seriously. Luckily it sounds like the police are really onto this case, as they say, if someone can do this to an animal then what will they do to a human. But I feel it shouldn't happen to an animal and that's a terrible crime in itself:(

I heard about them both only the other day through facebook, and the one in cornwall was written in the SUN Newspaper yesterday. I was almost physically sick, the fact that people can even contemplate doing something like this is just awful! They think it was possibly a 'witches ritual'! Poor innocent horses! :( I agree with Flicka I think animal cruelty at any level should be taken more seriously. Its no different to a human being abused except animals can't fight back and don't understand whats happenening to them!!

It's true that people who murder etc often have a history of wanton violence to animals first. Ghastly stories, it preys on the mind that someone can do such atrocities. Poor owners to live with what happened to their horses. Humans have a lot to answer for.

WHAT THE HELL. Why would anyone ever do that EVER. Wether you like horses or not, any behavior REMOTELY like that is completely and utterly disgusting and unacceptable. Who would ever do that to a poor horse, never did anything to you, much less a horse that's not even yours? Sometimes the human rae disgusts me. Why why why why why. That horse did not need to die. Despite whether he was the worst behaved horse in he world, no horse, no ANIMAL deserves that kind of treatment. What the hell was going through this persons mind? I'M speechless. Doing something like that is so simply Horrible and STUPID. I can't believe some people.
