the rspca have destroyed my business taking my horse and also a family pet whilst they were in the care of a neighbour

i left my horse and cats in the care of a neighbour who then went on holiday neglecting them rspca have taken them saying i wont get them back!!
the situation is that i went away for xmas with my family, leaving my animals in the care of my neighbour and also with visiting support from a friend nearby who visited on a fortnightly basis to check all was well, on the trip my car broke down leaving us stranded 400 miles away with no means to get back, i have done everything i can to make sure the animals were okay and i had a message the day before we returned telling me the rspca had taken my animals. (please note they took one of my cats but not the other one, also taken the most expensive horse but allowed my friend to temporarily care for the 2 cheaper ponies)

I arrived home in the early hours this morning and a woman from the rspca acting alone at about 5pm has knocked on my door telling me that i have no rights to fight to get them back and she also asked me to sign a handwritten scribble admitting i had been cruel and neglected these animals leaving them for an extended period with insufficeint provisions, i asked why and she didnt have a clear answer, i also asked if i could have a copy, she said no i couldnt, so i didnt sign her notebook, obviously wanting to find out what my rights in this situation are before agreeing under pressure to agree to anything.

Does anyone know what my rights in this situation are??

I thought that if i left my animals in the care of somebody and they neglected them then it would be their crime, not mine, i had been in regular contact with the woman whos land the horses are kept on and my friend visited fortnightly giving them money to provide for them, the woman who was supposed to care for tyhem decided to go on holiday and didnt contact me, even though i had a mobile with me the whole time, and my other friend wasnt told either~as far as i knew every contact i had with them i was told everything was fine and my animals were well and happy.

my horses are my livelyhood and now my entire business that i have worked 15 years to build is destroyed….what can i do?? can i get them back even though this rspca woman says not?? plkease help anyone who can advise me, would be so greatly appreciated thanks in advance of any replies
