The bodies of a decapitated mare and foal have been found dumped in a byway in Shropshire. The RSPCA has put out an appeal for information after a member of the public made the “distressing” discovery in Claverly on Sunday (26 July). There were flies and maggots so it appears they have been deceased for longer than when they were reported to have been dumped. The horse – who we are presuming is a mare – appeared underweight and had long hooves. To stay up to date with the latest equestrian news, subscribe to the Horse & Hound website
