The ponies are finally off the flood plain and safely relocated. It has been a long and draining fight but seeing them moved makes every bit of the struggle worth it.

UPDATE - the Landowner has removed the ponies and they are now in a safe place.
THANKYOU to all of you who signed the petition and let it be known what you think x
I can’t stand it anymore, to watch those ponies, in the pour
‘ing rain, in suffering, and in pain
Sodden grass and sticking mud - it’s a Flood Plain !
No place for ponies, grazing no good
I’d let them out, if only I could
But I and the World just pass them by
Cos we’re a little shy - to say what we think
Till, I read the news - the police the public and firemen crews
Rescued them from rising floods
So many people doing good
Doing what is right , doing what we should
I hate seeing them in there, never thought it right
Now’s the time to do something - let’s put up a fight !!
To me, there’s no doubt - NO PONY SHOULD BE ON THAT LITTLE EATON FLOOD PLAIN !
This Petition is to show the landowners, the pony owners, Authorities and Services, Councils and Public Servants overseeing the Little Eaton Flood Plains that WE, the Public, consider the ponies being there to be, not only a Public Nuisance (with regular escapes onto the roads - costing public services money, roads being closed and traffic diverted, risk of danger to the public and themselves and with increasing risk of flooding, requiring fire service equipment), the ponies not being offered their five freedoms (as set out in the Animal Welfare Act) but, their being there on that Flood Plain field has a detrimental effect on the local (and wider) community and creates a blight in the area, and there is genuine unease around this situation.
We would like the landowners, pony owners and ALL relevant agencies, interested parties and volunteers to work together to get the ponies MOVED soonest to a more suitable situation.
Please, if you would like to see the rest of the ponies still on the Little Eaton Flood Plains site - REMOVED - to a more suitable and healthy home ..... SIGN (AND SHARE) THIS PETITION !! And TOGETHER we can work to make it happen.
SHARE to ALL your friends because Little Eaton Flood Plain Ponies are not the ONLY ones living this life of existence - across the UK there are 1000’s the same.
We would like to lobby Parliament to oversee Laws on FlyGrazing ... so we need this SHARED !

We just hit one thousand signatures and the weight of this is finally starting to sink in. I am exhausted by the state of things but seeing this many people demand better for those ponies keeps me moving forward.

We just hit one hundred signatures. It has been exhausting to keep pushing when the situation feels so bleak but seeing this many people care is keeping me going.

As a horse lover I have watched the indiscriminate inbreeding & suffering of these poor ponies for long enough. It sickens me & makes me question time & again why the RSPCA seem so disinterested in this publicly witnessed atrocity!
I think it’s been a long tine coming. Being a horse owner myself it’s very disheartening to see and not beable to intervene and help them poor horses. The owners should not be allowed to keep animals dull stop!!
I hate seeing these poor animals, sometimes restricted to a tiny patch of grass by the flood water that remains in this field even during hot summer months. I have not seen any additional food being given to them even when the grass is poor.
Absolutely disgusting I am shocked to see this is still happening. I worked at tfs 15 years ago and it was happening then, this breaks my heart to see these are still being treated the same as all those years ago
It’s awful to see animals stuck in flooded fields and I have seen previously dead horses floating in the flooded fields which is horrific there should not be animals on flood plains and why would the owners want to leave them there it’s terrible those owners and the field
Yes the horses need help to either fix or change their location The County Councillor is already on the case and has more influence to make changes than me so I support her actions whenever possible
Awful please help them

Something needs to be done! Regardless of the lack of Help from the RSPCA it's Neglect!!! The land owner and owners should be prosecuted. They fly Graze all over Derbyshire. Little Eaton Park Hall Codnor Langleymill It's disgusting that this has has gone on for long enough.
