Video of Nick
White talking about his
experience of
Spindles Farm
Nick White was one of the first at the scene back in January 2008 and
will never forget what he saw. He says:
“After seeing the conditions in the fields, it wasn’t until I went into
the yard that the enormity of it hit me… there were dead horses on the
ground in front of me, and to the right. I looked across there was a
dead horse in the stalls. It was like walking into another world.
“There were none of the normal noises I associate with a stable yard –
horses moving about, eating, drinking, calling out to one another or the
gentle noises that horses make when approached, expecting to be fed or
cared for. They were totally silent. Even the horses that appeared in
better bodily condition seemed to be depressed, almost as if they had
lost their dignity.”
