What Happened to the Owner?

Polly’s abuser is probably going to face significant fines
because he neglected his animals for so long. Some of that money is bound to go to the shelter who took in the pony and horse. He might also go to jail.
Though most people who have heard the story demand that
Polly’s owner be prosecuted, Polly seems to be unaware. He is quite happy now, but he does need corrective trimming. The farrier at the rescue shelter had to visit every month to reshape the hooves and make sure that the pony heals correctly.

Will Polly’s Nails Get That Long Again?

A pony or horse should never have such long nails. Those born in the wild have special ways of keeping them cut short, usually by stamping the hard ground. Polly, on the other hand, has to have his trimmed by a professional.
The good news is that Polly never has to fear that his nails are going to get that long again. The corrective action taken means that the pony now needs regular trimmings, just like humans. Slight shaping is also necessary.
