These Miniature Horses Were Neglected for so Long That Their Hooves Were Curled

Two beautiful miniature horses were found in a 4×4 stall. They were standing in manure about three feet high. Their tails and manes were
matted with burrs, urine, and feces. Because of their living conditions, their hooves were significantly overgrown. Plus, their legs had been deformed, which suggested that they’d been living like this for many years. They had no hope.

What Was Wrong with These Poor Ponies with the Long Hooves

On a Sunday, four miniature horses in total were taken from an Indiana home by the Horse Shoe Equine Rescue facility. Tammy and Ron Barnett
are the owners and led the team into the place. When the rescue team arrived, the horses had no buckets or food bowls. However, the most shocking discovery was the horses’ deformities. The tendons were damaged because of the long nails.
