    RSPCA Cymru has launched an appeal for information to find the owner of a thin and injured horse found in Risca.

    The cob type horse was removed from land off Dan-y-Griag Road on Monday 16 March after being found in a poor condition.

    Now, RSPCA officers are keen to find out more about her.

    RSPCA Inspector Sophie Daniels said: “This cob is extremely thin and has a nasty infected injury to the left hind.

    “The mare was not microchipped and was reportedly on the land for several weeks with nobody attending. Strangely it was wearing a distinctive fleecy zebra print rug.

    “She was taken into possession by police and is now at a private boarding facility and will receive the treatment he needs.

    “We don’t know who she belongs to so we’re issuing an appeal to help with enquiries. We’d also like to thank those members of the public who have called this in and we hope this cob will be able to make a full recovery.”

    Anyone with any first hand information can contact the RSPCA Inspectorate Appeal Line on 0300 123 8018 and can quote 1755945.
