This post is all about a grey horse (about 16hh) who lives in the paddock infront of our green cottage (yes, green). She is a lovely old girl and tolerates children playing around her and cats almost jumping on her back and playing with her tail.
Although she is such a sweet-natured creature, she is quite badly neglected. She is wearing a tattered rug that is too small for her which is digging into her leg and making her very itchy, since it hasn't been taken off since it was put on in about November last year. Since we called the RSPCA and an inspector came out, the owner has occasionally giving her food. Her coat is dirty and matted underneath the rug, and everywhere else where she has been rolling, to getit off.
Blue's hooves are extremely overgrown and often bleed. The farrier has trimmed them but they need vetinary attention. I am also disgusted at the state of the concrete open-front shed she is living in. It hasn't been cleaned out for months, and there are even mushrooms growing in it. The track down to the field it all covered in stones and grit, that must be painful for her hooves. Last is the field where there is hardly any grass for her to eat at all.
As she is so old, she often falls down in the shed or field, and once when she fell in the shed, Mum had to lift her back up again.
So, I am doing this post so that hopefully, you will support Blue.
If you think this is a sad story and wish you could somehow help, please post this picture on your blog:
