They state they were educated their licenses would certainly not be restored after the 11 year giving in pertained to an end, yet did not anticipate it to occur so quickly.

I’m happy to see the horses gone in the city, now we only awaits for the donkeys to be helped as welt !!
They might take good care of the horses for now, but how will they be treated if they are not showed to the tourists 🤔.
I’m afraid they won’t be much worth to the people having them now, and that they will be abused like so many animals already are here in Spain 😢😢
