Firstly, thank you for your amazing support! over 7000 visitors to the website! One thing that has become apparent in all of this is that the equine community will stand together until justice for Erik has been served!

Police are still continuing their enquiries, and results from tests are still being awaited.

There has not been a huge amount of progress since our last blog, some more media attention has been obtained and the reward fund has now been published on our home page! Pirate FM are offering £2000 along with the Sun Newspaper offering £2000, we have also been informed of local people offering large amounts, however the offical total is still to be established. Please see the most recent media publicity to date:

If you are a member of the facebook groups you will know that there has been a lot of attention and discussion with regards to a further stallion located in the Holsworthy area which too has suffered similar
results of an attack like Erik. The police and RSPCA are involved and no media attention (offical reports) have been disclosed but we are under the impression this is not a linked attack and of natural causes, the
injuries caused are by another animal- this is still to be confirmed so please await an official report from
the Devon and Cornwall Police.

If you have been visiting the website you will see we have had almost 6000! Visitors since last Wednesday, the support has been overwhelming and we should be proud to be part of a community (horsey or non horsey) where people genuinely care about this horrific attack, it really has captured the nations attention.

As of yet the results from Eriks postmortem have still not been released and we are still awaiting to see if the police can reveal any further information from the findings.

The reward account is due to be open tomorrow, account details will be published on the website and we will then start a strong media campaign (with Dawn's blessing) to promote the fund and with fingers crossed the media will be interested especially if we can raise a large amount to grab their attention, people are easy to underestimate in these situations, but I am certain with the support we have had already that people will be donating as everyone want's the same outcome ...JUSTICE FOR ERIK! Let's do what we can to get to the bottom of this tragic event and put an end to it so the equine community can start to move on and Dawn can move forward knowing that her beloved stallion Erik did not die in Vain and he will be remembered for bringing the community together to make a stand for the love we have for our equine friends.

The support continues

Sadly due to members jumping to conclusions and several differences in oppinions the facebook group has been changed so the admins (close friends of Dawn) can now start posts only, they will continue to keep everyone updated with news and progress for the search to find the people that did this to Erik.

Please continue to spread the word, many members of the facebook group are now changing their profile picture to a custom picture of Erik to show their support, please keep it coming!

So the media has got really involved and this is only going to help spread the word and inform the nation of this horrific attack, please tell your friends to visit the website. Thank you for all your comments in the guest book, I am sure Dawn will be reading them and thanking you for your support at this difficult time.

Erik has now been officially laid to rest and the investigation team have done tests on his blood etc and results are due anytime soon.

We hope to have account details shortly so people from all over the country can donate to the REWARD FUND which we are aware already stands at more than £5000 thanks to your kind donations, I will also publish a list of collection box locations so you can submit your donation locally.

The following news feeds have been published today, thank you for reading.
