Cyflwynwyd y Ddeddf i ymateb i alwadau am weithredu brys gan Awdurdodau Lleol, elusennau ceffylau a’r Heddlu er mwyn mynd i’r afael â’r broblem o bori anghyfreithlon, a ceffylau a merlod yn crwydro ac yn cael eu gadael ledled Cymru.  Mae’r ddeddf yn un o nifer o ddulliau sydd ar gael i Awdurdodau Lleol sy’n dymuno mynd i’r afael â phori anghyfreithlon, trwy ddarparu pwerau cyfreithiol effeithiol.  Mae’r ddeddfwriaeth yn rhoi yr un pwerau cyfreithiol i Awdurdodau Lleol ymafael yn y ceffylau, eu cadw, gwerthu, gwaredu a’u lladd heb greulondeb, wedi iddynt fodloni rhybuddion a therfynau amser penodol, pan fo ceffylau ar dir heb awdurdod cyfreithiol neu heb gydsyniad y perchennog.    
  
Mae Equiventus Ltd, cwmni sy’n arbenigo ym maes darparu gwasanaethau archwilio a chofnodi ar gyfer prosiectau sy’n gysylltiedig â ceffylau, wedi eu comisiynu i gynnal yr adolygiad.  Bydd yr adolygiad yn ceisio gwerthuso gwerth ac effeithiolrwydd y Ddeddf.  Bydd yn helpu i sicrhau bod y Ddeddf yn addas at y diben a phan fo Awdurdodau Lleol wedi defnyddio, neu yn defnyddio’r ddeddfwriaeth, sicrhau eu bod yn cydymffurfio â gofynion y Ddeddf.    
  
Bydd yr adolygiad yn casglu tystiolaeth gan ystod eang o randdeiliaid a’r rhai hynny sydd â diddordeb, gan geisio dangos sut y mae’r Ddeddf wedi cyfrannu at reoli pori anghyfreithlon, ceffylau yn crwydro ac yn cael eu gadael ers i’r Ddeddf gael ei chyflwyno.    
  
Rydym wedi gofyn i Equiventus Ltd gynhyrchu’r adroddiad terfynol, gyda chasgliadau ac argymhellion erbyn diwedd Ebrill 2017, ac wedi hynny fy mwriad yw cyhoeddi’r adroddiad ac ymateb ffurfiol Llywodraeth Cymru ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru.

In line with the commitment made at Finance Committee on 17 October 2013 to review the Act  three years after it came into force, I have commissioned a review of the Control of Horses (Wales) Act.  

  

The Act was introduced in response to calls for urgent action by Local Authorities, equine charities and the Police, in order to tackle the problem of fly grazing, straying and abandonment of horses and ponies across Wales. The Act is one of a number of tools available to Local Authorities wishing to address the problem of fly grazing through the provision of effective legal powers. The legislation provides all Local Authorities with the same legal powers to seize, impound, sell, dispose and destroy, where appropriate, horses by humane means after certain notifications and time limits are met, when horses are on land without lawful authority or occupier consent.  

  

Equiventus Ltd, a company specialising in providing auditing and reporting services for equine related projects, has been commissioned to undertake the review. The review will seek to evaluate the value and effectiveness of the Act. It will help ensure the Act is fit for purpose and where Local Authorities have used, or are using, the legislation, they are complying with the requirements of the Act.    

  

The review will gather evidence from a wide\-range of stakeholders and interested parties and seek to demonstrate how the Act has contributed to the management of fly grazing, straying and abandonment since its introduction.  

  

Equiventus Ltd, has been asked to produce a final report, with conclusions and recommendations by the end of April 2017, following which it is my intention to publish the report and the Welsh Government’s formal response on the Welsh Government website.
