Drastic intervention: Veterinary Office takes horses from Reiterhof in Grapzow

A dramatic adventure for the riding stable in Grapzow! Uwe Knospe, the 62-year-old club chairman of the horse lover, is on the abyss of his existence. After the veterinary office has taken four horses away from him, he is now fighting for the survival of his farm, who not only offers children from socially weak families, but also a safe home. The situation got him nerves, and that after a stroke that he recently overcome.

defects and sudden decisions

The problems began in early September when a representative of the veterinary office was to find bad conditions on the farm. Despite the fastest resolved defects, such as broken horse trade and poor accommodation, the return of the official veterinarian and the shocking message came just seven days later: she takes the old mare, which is too thin from her point of view, as well as three other horses - without explanation! "There have been many tears," recalls Madeleine Schill, a desperate club member. The masterminds in the veterinary office are relentless and see everything from the point of view: animal welfare is going on! But the horse lovers do not understand the sudden allegations, after all the years of good control and care.

Uwe Knospe was inspired when he thought he had put everything in order. But the shock sits deeply: a letter from the veterinary office announced that an animal keeping is imminent! Reason for this: alleged failures in animal care! "Did we always have a vet who regularly checked, what's going on here?" Asks Schill and hits his hands over his head. The official veterinarian then speaks of a "life -threatening state" of the horses and has already found that Knosppe does not have the necessary specialist knowledge for horse keeping.

fight for existence

The members of the association are upset - their voices are full of lack of understanding. While the last controller only had praise, they are now facing an incomprehensible authority judgment! And the worst? The horses have disappeared and possibly sold! The desperate hopes of clarification are overshadowed by the prospect of an uncertain fate of the former four -legged friends. Uwe Knospe has turned on a lawyer and is now also submitting a complaint against the official veterinarian. The veterinary office and the authorities must now take a stand. The tension in Grapzow is increasing - the struggle for an lovable piece of horse soul and the sustainable work of the club is in full swing!
