I hope she is banned, then again there are quite a few others in the same area that are well known for the husbandry and care, and its only a matter of time before they also will be caught!
Could not agree with you more ! There is just no excuse at all for a horse to suffer like this. There is help available everywhere and anywhere if people are bothered to ask for it. Clearly some people cannot be bothered to spare their time asking for it or else simply don't care enough about the horses in their care.
Either way people like this make me feel physically sick and they should be banned from keeping any animal in my opinion and not just horses.
