Tiny foals born after neglected horses found emaciated and pregnant

Miracle foals have been born following the rescue of three emaciated horses that were found neglected and heavily pregnant in a barn near Bristol last year.

HorseWorld, a charity dedicated to saving the lives of the abandoned and neglected animals, found three expectant thoroughbred mares standing in a filthy barn hock deep in soiled bedding.

According to the organisation, the horses were riddled with lice and suffered from rain scald due to exposure to prolonged wet weather. They all had over-grown feet and were desperately trying to cope with being malnourished and heavily pregnant.
