Ms. Boulton expressed concern that without a license, the center would not be able to operate and therefore would not be able to feed the horses. She emphasized that the animals are happy and settled at the center, and it would be unfair to remove them from their final resting place. The center is committed to caring for the horses until the end of their lives, not just finding them temporary accommodations.

The center has been receiving inquiries from people offering to take the horses, but Ms. Boulton stressed that this is not a viable solution. She explained that there is no other nearby grazing ground available, and in order to maintain its riding school license, the center must meet minimum grazing requirements. This highlights the importance of having a license to operate the center and care for the horses properly.

Ms. Boulton emphasized that the center is not like an Airbnb for horses, where they can be moved around easily. The horses at the center have been through trauma and have found a final place where they are happy and settled. Without a license, the center would not be able to provide the necessary care and grazing space for the horses, putting their well-being at risk.
