Hurrah for DVS Sabah
Heard last night that DVS Sabah will be obtaining a court order against the owner of Ranch A to seize all his horses and ponies and will be housing them temporarily in their quarantine areas until it can be determined what to do with all the animals. The DVS felt that the owners had not done enough in the pass two weeks to improve the situation and were of the opinon that they were likely not do more. There were 37 horses on the premises and of that 9 were deemed to be acceptable which sounds about right as they were probably the racing horses. Of the 28 horses in DVS Sabah control they estimate between 6 - 10 horses will need to be put down because of their condition. The Shetlands are still alive yipee! We have already offered help in anyway we can and will be flying down at some point to offer assistance.

Post CNY Thoughts
Hours of debaunched drinking, days of gluttony and am back in reality so out the pensive comes again. People have a filing system but I have a blog to track what I am doing and keep tabs on myself. Lol. Well some order is better than no order I guess. In fact am toying with the idea of moving the blog to a site that is easier to handle cuz am such a spaz when it comes to techie stuff.
Ranch in Malacca - Have written up a draft letter outlining what I think is wrong with the place and am going to put in a recommended feeding program for them to follow. Will follow up this case in a month's time.
Ranch A in Sabah - Two weeks' time is UP. Am trying to get hold of the DVS to see how they are going to move on from here. So far no phone pick up but its only morning and after a long holiday. We have heard a rumour that they are going to put down all the horses but so far have been unable to ascertain whether its true or not. If they do or if they salvage some we are still going to push for prosecution so watch this stop for further news! Still trying to locate where the other possible farm could be in Sabah!
Riding School in Frasers' Hill - We have yet to go there but did receive a report from an indy source that two of the four horses were in healthy condition although they were unable to see the other two horses. At some point we will need to verify everything but at present the situation does not seem urgent.
