On Friday, owners of horses kept in Ratomka received a letter from the Republican Center for Olympic Training and Equestrian Sports, signed by its General Director Dmitry Yevmenchyk.
The letter states that the term for providing horse boarding services ends on July 1st. It is emphasized that there is a very high demand for horse boarding services. Therefore, all contracts will now be concluded based on the results of an auction (tender).
Owners are required to remove their animals from the stables by July 1st. In fact, people have been given only two working days to resolve such a complex issue.

This is impossible to do (at least legally), because before moving to a new location, horses must undergo a series of tests and also be sent to mandatory quarantine.
However, one of the main problems is that many owners need not just a stable, but specifically sports infrastructure, as horses participate in competitions of various levels and require training conditions.
First and foremost, athletes who participated in competitions with their own horses are suffering.
“I have two sports horses at the center; they are on the junior national team roster. My daughter is a master of sports, always competing for the center on both her private and state-owned horses. She represents her country excellently at competitions, winning national and international events. Her whole life is connected to sports! The Ratomka sports infrastructure is critically important to us! But it turns out that our efforts and results are needed by no one. They are kicking us out too…” — shared Volha Sadava on Threads, expressing her pain.
Her daughter, Alena Sadava, by the way, is called one of the most promising athletes. Last year at the Eurasian Games, the girl won three medals (gold, silver, and bronze). She also successfully competed in international tournaments.

And this example is not unique.
Horse owners report that in Ratomka, one now had to pay 900 rubles monthly for an empty stall, with feed and bedding paid separately.
"There were 240 of us in the group. Seven were captured. The rest are Cargo 200 (killed)." Andrei from Vitebsk, the 'can opener man', became one of the seven lucky ones 1818
