'It’s a place where children have grown up, where animals are cared for, it’s a community.'
Members of a stables in South Belfast that has become a thriving community are doing all they can to ensure it is able to remain open after being told that it is due to close at the end of next month.
Concerns have also been raised by the owners of the horses about how a move to another stable could cause a lot of distress to the animals and negatively impact their health. Speaking to Belfast Live, Chloe Welsh, who has grown up using the Burn Equestrian Centre said that she hopes that the Department of Health can see the strength of feeling in the community about saving the centre and that they are able to find a way to keep it going under new management.
"There are people here who have grown up around the centre and we have become like a family here with everyone doing their bit to look after it and maintain the grounds that would be lying derelict otherwise. "We are grateful for all of the support that we have received so far from local residents, health care workers and politicians and we hope that we will be able to show the Department of Health just how important the Equestrian Centre here is and that we can keep it open."
"It’s a place where children have grown up, where animals are cared for, it’s a community. As things currently stand, the centre is due to close its doors on the 30th of September, I am outraged at the poor communication around the closure which has caused distress to those for whom the centre means so much, it is a very small window to move forty horses - some of those horses have been there for twenty years and moving them could kill them.
