“Like a Piece of Rubbish”: Dead Horse Found Brutally Dumped on Road

The equestrian arena paves the way for its pursuers to chase thrill and make torrents in the air, all while riding on the majestic creatures called horses. So, it goes without saying that horses are the true comrades of the equestrians. But, can we say vice versa? Well, after the recent grisly discovery of a dead mare found dumped on a bridleway, it became more difficult to come up with an answer to this question. 

On March 18th at around 6 am in the morning, a pedestrian strolling on a bridleway in Bassett’s Lane, Sussex found a dumped down mare in an utterly vicious condition. Following this, the Royal Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) intervened and took control of the situation.

As per the report of Horse & Hound, the investigating officer Suzi Fothergill stated, “This poor horse was just dumped like a piece of rubbish and it is so upsetting for everyone involved when an animal is treated so callously like this”. The mare was transported to the trail by the means of a vehicle. That means, the horse already died before ending up at the bridleway. “There was no evidence that the horse had been moving or struggling where she was found so she may have died before she was dumped”, conceded Fothergill.

More so, the RSPCA official also described the lacerations drawn on the mare’s lifeless form and asserted, “The skewbald mare had some injuries; she had a six-inch diamond-shaped gash wound on her left flank, she was bleeding from her tail and there was evidence of foam around her mouth”. Furthermore, what makes the whole situation more appalling was the brutal gashes found on the mare’s body.

“She had clearly been owned as her tail was plaited, her mane was cropped and she was wearing shoes – but she was not microchipped”, added Fothergill. Following the terrifying state, the animal charity is now appealing for more information to work out from where the mare came from and who dumped her on the bridleway.
