Overview
- The letter from West Suffolk Council, dated October 30, informed Mandy Young it had received a complaint about horses causing a disturbance.
- Council officials say they have a legal duty to assess such reports but have not verified any unreasonable noise to date.
- The notice advises that no action is required by the owner unless the complainant provides specific details that allow further inquiries.
- Young denies excessive noise, says recent foal weaning may have briefly increased calling, and cites welfare guidance that weaning can prompt vocalisation.
- The breeder, who keeps horses near Newmarket, notes the area’s high concentration of equines and says she would have moved animals if a neighbour had raised concerns directly.
