Ms Martina Kenny:

All of the people involved with My Lovely Horse Rescue centres are from the local area. We have a Cork site too. The people involved with us are from the areas where problems have occurred. I am from an area where horses are tied up, are being jockeyed around the place and where sulky races take place. I am seeing that and am in it so I know how to talk to people. We are not afraid. We are told many times by various people to be very careful in certain places or we are advised not to go in but we march right in. It is the only way. We have to do that; we cannot be afraid. We are beyond being afraid in certain areas or with certain people or communities. We have to take a stance, not be afraid and speak out, loud and clear. This can be done when we have good gardaí on our side. That is a fantastic thing.
