A PAIR of young horses have been found suffering multiple injuries and rescued by an animal charity.

The foals were found by a member of Grimsdyke Golf Club in Oxhey Lane and are now being looked after by the RSPCA.

The charity is appealing for information about what happened to the horses.

They had swollen hocks, fetlocks, and joints, and both were severely underweight when they were found on Saturday, September 13.

Inspector Raquel Schwartcz, of the RSPCA, said: "These are beautiful foals, but they were in a terrible condition.

"We would like to hear from anyone who knows who has dumped them."

Anyone with information can call the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999.

The charity is also appealing for anyone who can offer the horses a new home to come forward and get in touch.
