    THOMAS NICHOLAS FROM MALPAS SENTENCED OVER HORSE NEGLECT CASE

    Thomas William Nicholas, born around 1996 and residing at Gallantry Bank Farm in Bickerton, Malpas, was convicted in 2025 for neglecting over 40 horses, including pregnant mares. Nicholas, who traded under the name Gallantry Bank Horses from his family farm, pleaded guilty to three animal welfare offences linked to 41 horses.

    In February 2024, the RSPCA, World Horse Welfare, and Cheshire police visited the farm and removed the horses from the site. The horses included mares, their foals, and pregnant mares. Some of the horses were on loan, while others belonged directly to Nicholas.

    The inspection revealed severe neglect, with some horses suffering from starvation and deplorable conditions in filthy stables. Many animals exhibited health issues such as poor body condition, rain scald, and lice infestations.

    RSPCA inspector Nadine Pengilly detailed her findings in her witness statement: “One stable, which housed a mare, was very dirty with several weeks’ worth of faeces, and there was no water or fresh hay provided.” She further described: “Another stable contained a bay mare with a young foal, both in poor condition. They had no water or fresh haylage, and when given water, they drank ravenously. The foal collapsed on several occasions due to weakness, and the mare had rain scald and lice. The environment was also filthy with no clean bedding.”

    She added that another stable housed a black mare also in poor health, suffering from rain scald and lice, with bedding and faeces of several weeks' accumulation, and no access to water or fresh hay.

    Following the removal, the horses were taken into the care of the RSPCA and World Horse Welfare. Inspector Will Lamping commented on the case, saying: “This was a very sad case to investigate, and it was difficult to see such a large number of horses and foals living in poor conditions. Nicholas failed to meet the needs of the horses, neglecting basic health and welfare aspects like environment, veterinary care, parasite control, diet, water, dental, and hoof care.

    “He failed to provide a suitable environment and proper care, making immediate action necessary. We are grateful to Cheshire police and our colleagues at World Horse Welfare for their collaboration, which has resulted in positive improvements for the horses under our care. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of partnership working in animal welfare.”

    World Horse Welfare field officer Rae Andrews remarked on the increasing number of horses being rescued rather than just one or two, emphasizing that when animals are viewed as commodities, their care is often neglected. She highlighted the poor health indicators, including high worm burdens, dental issues, and some of the thinnest horses she had encountered in her career.

    Andrews praised the teamwork among the agencies involved and welcomed the lifetime ban on keeping animals issued during sentencing.

    At sentencing, it was noted that Nicholas posed a low risk of reoffending. His penalty included a six-week custodial sentence suspended for 12 months, 100 hours of unpaid work, 20 days of rehabilitation activities, and a £154 victim surcharge. Additionally, he was banned from keeping horses indefinitely.
