NZ trot trainer Colin Evans was last year convicted of 30 animal cruelty charges brought by the SPCA, including failure to provide his horses with food or water, confining them in their stalls for excessive periods (up to 23 days), and beating them. He was sentenced to 160 hours of community service, banned from owning horses for 7 years, and ordered to pay the SPCA almost $17 000 on costs.
