CONVICTED (2019) | horse abusers Tanya Michelle Taylor, born 28 April 1966, of Oak Crest, Stoney Road, Kilcot, Newent, Gloucestershire GL18 1PB, and Jeffrey Frederick Taylor, born 8 September 1968, of Uxbridge Lane, Quedgeley, Gloucester GL2 2EY
Horse Tallie was found in an appalling condition due to neglect by her owners Tanya and Jeffrey Taylor.
Tallie was treated by Three Counties Hospital for multiple health issues in December 2017 but was too poorly and had to be euthanized.
A prosecution was brought against the Taylors by Forest of Dean District Council’s legal team following an investigation and the pair were convicted of causing unnecessary suffering to Tallie.
In his summing up, the Magistrate said: “Tallie could not have been saved by early vet intervention, but it could have reduced her suffering.
“We find you jointly responsible for her care, and jointly responsible for failing to seek treatment for her, which caused her unnecessary suffering.”
Sentencing | ordered to pay fines totalling £1,010 and court costs of £800. No ban.
