Story
Tara and little 'T'
Tara was a 19yr old gorgeous, placid mare who tragically lost her life on Tuesday 12th July due to a vicious attack where she and her sister 'little T' were repeatedly stabbed.
Tara and 'little T' were attacked in their field on Friday 8th July sometime through the night and were discovered by their owners on Saturday morning hiding in their field shelter terrified and in shock.
The wounds that were inflicted to both of the horses were horrific, you will find them on facebook (Haltwhistle matters) where you can follow the story.
Tara's poor little body eventually couldn't fight any longer and her little sister bless her sadly lost her fight a couple of days ago.
What this has done to the family and the community is devastating.
The whole community clubbed together to raise money for a reward to catch these idiots before they do this again.
You can follow the story on the page 'Haltwhistle matters'
Thankyou for your time.

9 years agoI would just like to say 'Thank you so much for everyone's donations and support' The amount that we raised will help so much towards the final vets costs. This was such a tragic end for the two most beautiful horses, their owners are devastated. This attack has affected the whole community who came together and rallied round and raised over £1000 towards a reward to try and find the people who did this. Once again i thank you all for the support and all the messages the family have received.

I am so sorry you and your horses have suffered in this way. Somehow these people need to be found and brought to justice. In the meantime I hope the vets can do their job and help your horse.

We've known Tara for a long time. We used to take Siobhan to see her when she was in the pushchair and she's now 13. So so sad, she'll be greatly missed. She was a beautiful horse. xx
