It follows a joint police and RSPCA swoop on field at Amersham, Bucks., where animals were found dead and dying.
RSPCA officers are also investigating claims that Gray, who has been dealing in horses, ponies and donkeys for at least 25 years, was selling the animals to be slaughtered for cat food on the continent.
Gray, from a travelling family, had previously faced prosecution for failing to provide adequate food and water but was cleared.
