CONVICTED (2020) | serial horse abuser Anne-Marie Becheley-Gordon aka Annie Wakefield, born 25 August 1990, of Grove Place, Southampton SO19 9QY – left an eight-month-old filly to starve to death in a stable
The filly, known as Brownie, was dying when discovered lying in her own diarrhoea by a horrified member of the public. She was emaciated and covered in sores. She passed away in the arms of her rescuer.
A previous horse owned by Becheley-Gordon – 18-month-old Echo – had died in November 2018 due to an untreated worm condition, but the mother-of-two was never prosecuted for this.
Becheley-Gordon also had a Shetland pony, who was seized and later died in RSPCA care. A fourth pony named Faith was also removed from her.
Sentencing: 12-week suspended sentence suspended for 18 months. Ordered to pay a total of £315 in costs and charges. Disqualified from keeping equines for five years (expires November 2025).

This is a case from last year that never made the papers and the abuser in question – Annie Becheley-Gordon aka Annie Wakefield from #Southampton – is about to get a well-deserved wake-up call as her cruelty is unforgivable.
Mother-of-two Becheley-Gordon locked an eight-month-old filly in a filthy stable without food and water. When discovered by a horrified member of the public, the young horse, known as Brownie, was found covered in sores and lying down in her own excrement. She died in the woman’s arms.
In November 2020 Becheley-Gordon was given a suspended prison sentence and banned from owning equines for five years. A previous horse in her ‘care’, Echo, died months earlier from a worm burden with another – a Shetland – dying a short time after being seized by the RSPCA.
The self-described ‘princess’ is a shameless irresponsible menace who will never learn from her ‘mistakes’. If there was any justice she would be in jail and that ban would have been for life.
She should have have a years jail for every horse she had no use saying more because she wouldn’t have got it
Well she only ever owned faith which only died because it tried to run out of the rspca. Probably trying to run back to her owner like any pet would do 😂
Ewww why are you sticking up for that dirty misfit!!!
Deserves a fucking hiding apsolute mess what a dirty little cunt
Don’t deserve no animals , suprised she’s kept her kids alive if that’s how she treats ponies and horses, vile creature id torture her just like she did them innocent animals
How do you know this please?
A family friend works for the rscpa its how they keep the animals protected.
I Hope She Looks After Her Children, Better Than She Did The Pony, She Locked In The Stable and Left It To Starve To Death.
Social Services need to keep a close eye on the children.
this is very upsetting , as she married my nephew but are no longer together she still carrys are name ( becheley) we have always had horses and ponies in the family and would like people to know that they have always been looked after and have always been put 1st in health and we’ll being I think my sister’s life on this planet is to have and look after these animals same with my brother and his wife , just wanted people to know
I’m so sorry to hear this and i hope you’re family are not getting any heat from this? It also says on the advert annie Wakefield which im guessing was her name before she married into you’re family?
Where did faith go? I looked after her for about 6 months when Annie abandoned her with my horses! I would love to get her back with her Besty my pony indie 💕
Horses removed by rscpa are not aloud to be rehomed in the county they were seized from for their own safety ( incase they are found & then stolen) I presume you are the same area as this women.
Don’t believe everything you read! There’s nasty ass people looking to ruin her life! Chrissy McCane or whatever your name is! She took on a lot because she was asked to and only wanted to help others and look where it got her….it’s a bitchy world out there you all know that
If you can’t afford or have time to look after an animal give it up and give it a good life, they can’t speak and the horse must of been in so much pain and had no energy by looking at the video. So sad 😥
If she took so much on why didn’t she ask a friend for help, she seems to have a few. She may well have been struggling to cope with demand whatever the truth is but the fact she didn’t ask for help or even consider asking the rspca for help is a disgrace. These animals didn’t deserve to die… Or are you saying the only option was foe them to die because she took so much on helping others? Whatever way anyone looks at this bullying is not the answer. But the courts found her guilty. There is no way this was all in complete and utter innocence.
