a3. RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT, 1964.
The riding establishments in the area have been inspected
and Mr. H.E. Bywater,M.R.C.V.S.F.R.S.H reports as follows:-
'It is my pleasurable duty to present my annual report
of the inspections made on the riding establishments in your
area during the past year. Visits were made, at varying
times, during each quarter of the year and no contraventions
of the Act were noted.
At no times during the years I have undertaken this
work on your behalf, have any criticisms been received by me
concerning the treatment of animals in these establishments.
One must not conclude that, at all times, conditions are
ideal and the general public would materially assist if they
would notify any matters which they have reason to think
might be contraventions of the Act, in order that they might
be investigated.
No changes in the locations or occupations of the riding
schools took place during the period under review and below
are given particulars of the premises licensed by your
