Alison Hayes, who was born in the Welsh capital, found her seven- month-old pony with a wound to its nose. As she helped the animal at her land in Tegryn, near Crymych, Pembrokeshire, she also noticed graffiti written in slang Welsh saying " English out " . Dyfed-Powys Police are investigating the attack. Mrs Hayes and her husband moved to the area last year with the intention of opening a riding stables. But she was shocked when she discovered their pony, Hope, with a bleeding wound on her nose. " It is awful, she is very frightened, " she explained. Graffiti was sprayed on the stables " I just can't understand it - I'm from Cardiff, I was born there. My mother and father are both Welsh - what's going on? " This is a Welsh-speaking area and they might have mistaken our Cardiff accents for English, that is all I can think, " she added. " This was an incredibly cruel thing to do. Hope is a beautiful, friendly animal and she was slashed across the face and mouth. " The motivation of these people was ridiculous and to take it out on an innocent horse was wicked. " Hope loved being around people but now I can't get near her. She is terrified.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 STUPID,STUPID,STUPID! What do these morons think they are doing? I once drove and stopped in village in deep welsh speaking area, and they were very unfriendly to me and my wife because we spoke english. Ignorance, and stupidity. I feel sorry for the horse, the graffiti can be painted over.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008  Hi Peter It's strange isn't it :-( I hope the horse gets to trust people again. When my daughter was 13 or 14 she used to like riding, and one of her friends had a horse. One day they found it with a cross-bow bolt in its head! Luckily the horse survived, but it was such a shock to think that someone could do that. Jo - Peter VV Monday, April 07, 2008 6:14 PM Re: 'Anti-English attack' hurts horse STUPID,STUPID,STUPID!
