…it seems they are
finally being forced to do something about the tethered horse problem in York:
The RSPCA brought the prosecution as part of an investigation into complaints from the public about horses tethered on roadside verges.
Lawyers for the seven, who are all called Smith and who live at Ryedale Caravan Site, Outgang Lane, Osbaldwick, successfully asked for their cases to be adjourned while probation officers prepare reports on them, and reserved their mitigation until the sentencing hearing.
Amazingly, they’ve all pleaded guilty straight off.
All seven were ordered to return to court on November 15 when they will be sentenced and learn if they are to receive bans on keeping horses or animals.
Mitigation should be….interesting.
