Hi everyone

Jennie here:

As I’m sure most of you are aware, the RSPCA raided a farm in Buckinghamshire last week after a tip off, and found more than 80 emaciated horses, ponies and donkeys.

They were all under fed and watered and had overgrown feet.

The RSPCA also found 31 dead horses. A further three were so poorly they had to put to sleep there and then.

The tragedy has seen some of the UK's leading equine charities pull together to help take care of the surviving animals.

Some of the sickest were taken to the Horse Trust at Speen for care but Redwings, the ILPH and The Blue Cross have all taken on their fair share.

Each of the charities has been overwhelmed by the public’s support and have received offers of practical help and large donations of money as well as essential horse kit.

It’s important to remember at this time though, that it’s not just high profile cases that these charities are working on. They care for hundreds of rescued equines and constantly need your support.
