Wendy Davies, founder of an equine rescue centre, has been given a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £10,000 in costs for failing to meet basic animal needs. The 75-year-old pleaded guilty to one welfare offence and was found guilty of nine others at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on 5 March. The charges involved pigs and poultry kept at her facility, with no equids implicated.
