A one year old filly was found unconscious last Tuesday near the A414 in Hatfield.

She was badly emaciated to the point where one of her eyes had prolapsed. Her tail had also been cut. She was in such a bad state that she was put to sleep at the scene.

A PC who attended the incident was so upset that she called a local paper to break the news.

PC Wakelen said:

“This neglect will not be permitted and, under the Animal Welfare Act, owners can now be arrested and prosecuted.”

A number of other horses live on the land where the filly was found and it believed that they belong to travelers living at Holwell caravan park.

In 2008 another horse died at the site after being neglected for weeks.
