A man has been sentenced to three years in prison for a series of 'calculated' fraud in the purchase of race horses worth more than 5m.
Michael Baker, 28, of Pilgrims Way, Maidstone, Kent, had pleaded guilty to four offences of false representation when buying four valuable horses.
He also admitted attempting to dishonestly obtain property - a 45,000 race horse - and fraudulent trading.
Maidstone Crown Court heard he was a penniless 'fantasist'.
Sentencing today at Maidstone Crown Court, judge David Griffith-Jones QC said while he accepted Baker's motivation was not for personal gain and that he suffered from a personality disorder.
The Texas State Animal Resource Team(TXSART), a program of the Texas Veterinary Medical Foundation that coordinates preparedness, response, and recovery efforts for animals affected by disasters in the state of Texas, has released some tips on managing animals following a disaster.
The group recommends that people remain calm and seek information by listening to the radio or television. They should follow the directions provided by local, state, and/or federal emergency personnel who are reacting and responding to the situation. This might include staying inside until advised that it is safe to go out.
Some of the issues that horse owners might deal with include scattered debris, encroaching flood waters, downed power lines, and other contaminants that might be present.
Further recommendations include:
'Keep your animals confined to a smaller, secure pasture for the first few days following the disaster as familiar scents and landmarks may be absent or altered. Check all shelter structures and fences for signs of damage and initiate repair
