NADINE ROBINSON OF CHRISTCHURCH CONVICTED FOR HORSE NEGLECT
In 2022, Nadine Robinson, born around 1976 and residing in Fernlea, Christchurch (BH 23 1AX), was convicted of extreme neglect of her two horses.The case involved two animals: a bay thoroughbred gelding named Madison and a grey Arab gelding named Flame.
Over the course of a year, both horses suffered neglect, with Robinson failing to take necessary steps to ensure their well-being.
Robinson was charged with neglecting to maintain proper body condition, provide adequate diet and water, and ensure they received proper worming and hoof care.
She also caused unnecessary suffering to Flame by not investigating or addressing his poor body condition and weight loss.
The court heard that these offences constituted "extreme neglect" and spanned a "considerable period of time." During this period, passersby and the RSPCA offered advice and guidance, which Robinson ignored.
Initially, Robinson denied the offences but later entered a guilty plea.
As for the fate of Flame and Madison, their current status is unknown.
Regarding sentencing, Robinson was given a 10-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, along with a three-month curfew.
She was also ordered to pay £908 in court charges and was banned from keeping horses for 10 years.
