Death of IHP horses at Volterra, the Association objects to the archiving of the case.
31/05/2022 - IHP, through its attorneys, filed a motion to oppose the request to dismiss the investigation into the death of 19 horses made by the Pisa Public Prosecutor's Office. Between January 2019 and for the following two years at the Tenuta di Tignano, near Volterra, where the association had just moved at the time, a case occurred that has never been equalled in Italy and perhaps in the world: 19 horses, in good health, died suddenly and in the space of a few minutes, after collapsing while they were grazing.

Molise, IHP; “Reports and complaints about treatment of the Pentro horses since 2016”
05/05/2022 - IHP President, Richichi, stated: “Our most recent inspection was last December.  We documented the presence of horses abandoned to wander the streets, to battle the icy cold, and in some cases to be torn to pieces by wolves. We sincerely hope that the complaint recently lodged by a citizen of Montenero Val Cocchiara finally pushes the local authorities into action. We have made many official complaints about the appalling situation that the breeding programme of the Pentro horse has brought about. The generous public funding of the studs has led to animals being abandoned, not only putting at risk the safety of pedestrians and motorists, as witnessed by the official complaints of locals, but causing serious, often fatal, accidents involving the animals themselves.”
