Was not sure which thread to post this on.
Has anyone cycled past the horses on the River Lea, on the west side on King George's Reservoir, i think it's technically Enfield and just north of where Lea Valley Road cuts through (coordinates: 51°38'56.5"N 0°01'21.5"W)
I cycle past there a lot, and saw the horses around a month ago and they looked pretty healthy, with quite a few foals, but went past yesterday and was completely shocked at how their condition has deteriorated - look malnourished, manes and tails completely matted, bloodshot eyes and in distress. It looks like nobody is taking care of them at all but they are not wild, on private land and no more grass to graze on. It was really upsetting to see.
I've contacted the RSPCA and British Horse Society. If anyone has seen them and has similar concerns, please can you do the same to try and get something done about this?
