Does the RSPCA or other welfare organisations inspect the animals?
Yes; there are two welfare tours each year arranged by the Verderers. They are attended by DEFRA, British Horse Society, International League for the Protection of Horses, Blue Cross, RSPCA, Donkey Sanctuary, and local veterinary surgeons. The results of the survey are in the Court minutes and more recently in the Announcements also. The welfare organisations also carry out their own independent inspections.
