Two years ago a police horse was attacked by an American pit-bull dog whilst passing by a park Cheetham Hill, Manchester.
Sarraj Ahmed, 26, of Galsworth Avenue, Cheetham Hill, was minding the dog and walking it through the park for his flatmate when it attacked the police horse, for no reason, after being released form it’s lead. The horse sustained serious wounds to its lip, chest, stomach, back legs and hindquarters but has recovered.
A Hearing for the case took place at Manchester Magistrates Court on 2nd September and resulted in Mr Ahmed being jailed for four months and banned from keeping dogs for 10 years.
The dog itself is known for being vicious as it has previously mauled a goat to death in Sale, Manchester, two years ago.

Five year old mare Pandora has an unusual condition for a horse. She is allergic to all types of grass.

Her owner Emily Pearce first noticed the problem when she found a large lump on the mares flank. At first she thought it may be a fly bite but after treatment didn’t cure it she consulted her vet who diagnosed the problem after a series of allergy tests.

Pandora was destined to live her life inside but thankfully a specially designed blanket has given her freedom.

The mare is fed a special diet of sugar beet, chaff and oil along with about 12 anti-histamine tablets per day.
