The Lone Horse

avatar
(Edited)

Not too long ago, I went for a walk and I ended up encountering this lone horse, in the weirdest place.

He was completely alone, on a small field right next to a metallurgy factory, in a small locality named Bicho (Animal).

The property where we was staying has a sign saying "To Sell or Rent" and a phone number.

He was held by a cord and I have no idea where he manages to get water. I saw no source of water around him, either artificial or natural.

He kept looking at me and remained silent the whole time.

Moments later he lost interest in what I was doing and started to eat the only thing available... grass and herbs.

Judging by his "face", the food wasn't all that tasty.

He looked rather thin to me, as if he wasn't eating enough. But the truth is, I know nothing about horses. Maybe he is in perfect shape.

What do you guys think?

Should I call the authorities and warn them about this situation? Or should I let it go?

Telefona ja a policia, esse cavalo esta 100% desnutrido, não tem musculo, dá para ver as costelas, eu diria mesmo que ele está mais para lá do que para cá... O pior é que os cavalos não se devem prender assim, até os que estão em boxes saiem de vez em quando para correrem...

Maybe you can start by asking around. Its owner might just have tied him there temporarily to graze and then, he's gonna be taken into a water source. I do not think that the horse is thin. upadate us on how it goes!

Thanks for your comment, Adele! I have a feeling the owner lived nearby... but he didn't seem to care about the horse too much. ☹️

The horse is very thin. He does not enough food or water. I don't know much about horse though.

Call for sure. That animal needs access to water and ability to move around. Standing in one place like that isn't healthy for a horse.

It looks like I'll have to inform the authorities about this... Thanks for your visit.

Maybe someone dropped him there to eat and will pick him up later! If you see him again in a different time there, it is better to call the authorities.

It's a bit far from my place. I needed to walk a couple of hours to get there. 🙄

That seems to be the opinion of the majority. 🤔

Claro que sim, nunca devias de ter saído de lá sem chamar a protecção dos animais.. com esse aspecto de carcaça nem de corda precisava para não fugir.. não iria longe 😣

Poor thing. I would call somebody, even if is just to teach the owner that water is essential. Though, i think he/she is too thin but like yourself, I know nothing about horses 🐴.

I think I'll send these photos to the authorities, seeing that the majority of you are confirming my thoughts.

Thanks for your input, @lady-idra!

Oh, this poor thing looks absolutely exhausted and dehydrated :( It's obvious that the horse has been starving and not getting enough water... :(

The information and photos have been sent to the police and 2 Animal Defense Organizations. It's in their hands now... I can't do anything else.

I think she is already old. She is very thin.
Она и правда очень худая. Я думаю, что она уже старая. Кляча.
