When reporting welfare complaints effectively the following information will be needed

1. A description of the equine or equines involved.
2. The precise location of the equine or equines.
3. The name and address of the person you believe may be responsible for the cruelty or neglect.
4. The name and address of the person who owns the land where the equine or equines are being kept.

We continue to work with limited resources. The IHWT does not have Authorised Officers and therefore works closely with animal welfare inspectors of the ISPCA, Gardai and the Department of Agriculture and provides care and rehabilitation of neglected equines. Please contact your local Garda Station Garda Station
