A five-month-old foal was found abandoned among a pile of tyres and old mattresses. The animal, now named Barney, has been taken to a horse sanctuary after being found lying upside down.
The young animal was discovered in a pile of rubble in Essex in December. He was emaciated underneath his thick coat and had pressure sores all over his body, reports NorfolkLive.
The little pony was found by vets and RSPCA officers who began work on saving him. The youngster was then taken to the Redwings Horse Sanctuary in Norfolk.
