A couple who bred and kept horses for 60 years have now been handed a life ban from ever keeping animals.
The couple were found to be keeping four neglected ponies which were discovered to be “imprisoned in deplorable conditions” at a stable on their property.
Jack Carter and his wife Barbara, from Tarleton, Lancashire, were taken to court after an RSPCA probe uncovered the neglect that they attempted to hide, Lancs Live reports.
