Well the farrier was out this morning as the horse up the hill lost a shoe, and when he saw the state of this horses feet he said no way should a horse have been just left like that, she was well overdue a trim on her feet and if it had gotten any worse she might have gone lame because of it. He told me he would contact horse welfare straight away and get something done.
While I have been in town the horse has been removed and a note left on the gate for the owner... I don't expect he will even notice it for ages, then I doubt if he will even get in touch as he could get charged for neglect.

I am sad that she has gone but glad she will get the care she needs now and probably never see that man again.
