Was her sentence in a young offenders institution suspended too? So, neither of them will do time?

It is good to see some justice, that the pony has been rehomed and good coverage so that hopefully it will act as a deterrent for others. We call ourselves a nation of animal lovers yet people who are found guilty of serious neglect are rarely banned from keeping animals (other than for a short period) and punishment is often minimal. Some will only ever understand the threat of serious punishment not the harm and suffering they cause by their actions so it is positive to see this example.

Yes both got a suspended sentence but if they commit any other offence within a year they can be hauled back to court and the previous custodial (suspended) sentence can be enforced - and they can go straight to Jail without passing Go!

Hope it's made an example but sadly an all too common thing seen.

Only a year? should be 5 years minimum

Oooh I agree, give them more time and they're bound to commit some other offence surely.
