Did anyone see this video from Trot ON member HorseWorld showing a couple of horses they've been caring for at their rescue centre just after they'd picked them up. They had been just left in a field with cows so they had not only got really overweight but there hooves had been left to just grow and grow :( :( http://www.troton.com/videos/slideshow/9582/3049/19197

Luckily thanks to some good trimming and a strict diet the horses are looking much better. Well done to HorseWorld for another job well done! http://tinyurl.com/6xr4yot

They were in an appalling state. JoJo should weigh around 360kg, she came in weighing over 600kg. Jerry's weight should have been about 450kg, he came in weighing just over 500kg. Their feet resembled flippers. Jerry's measured 12" from heel to toe. JoJo's weren't quite as bad but still had around 2 years of growth on there. You can read more about them on our news page of our website. The image here shows JoJo now, six months after their rescue. their owner has been prosecuted.
