Hello and welcome to the forum
firstly let me say how sorry i am that you have lost your mare and the circumstances you now find yourself in
rspca have no rights of arrest/entry or anything else ,they are just an animal charity and not a very good one either
you were right not to let them enter your field and they should not have taken your mare away
obviously they are planning to prosecute you hence the interview under caution
you are what we call an “easy target” someone who they can prosecute and hopefully get large sums of money from ![Shocked](http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif)
I would get your vet to ask for her body back and get your own PM done (you are within your rights to do this)they cannot challenge a vet as they are NOT vets themselves so do not have the knowledge to be able to tell whether a horse has been mistreated or not![Sad](http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_sad.gif)
I would get your vet to speak to them on your behalf and query just why they have taken her away for PM and what it is they are suggesting is wrong with her![Shocked](http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif)
I am not sure if an interview under caution is a legal option or if they just make this rule up as they have NO POWERS at all
but i would consult a solicitor (one who deals with complaints against rspca) as they will need to be experianced in dealing with this sneaky,slimy lot of liers
be prepared for lies and more lies from them
you could contact SHG detaits are on the top of this forum and they will be able to give you expert advice ![Smile](http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
