A chestnut mare has been rescued from Gelligaer and Merthyr Common amid welfare concerns, with authorities now seeking to locate its owner. 💕

The pony was safely removed on Wednesday January 8 through a collaborative effort between the RSPCA, Caerphilly County Borough Council, Redwings and World Horse Welfare charities.

RSPCA inspector Christine McNeil said:

“This pony was taken into possession by Caerphilly County Borough Council under the Animal Welfare Act and was taken into charitable care, where she is now receiving the appropriate veterinary treatment.”

She added:

“We don’t know who this mare belongs to so we’re issuing an appeal to help with enquiries. Anyone with any first-hand information can contact the RSPCA Inspectorate Appeal Line on 0300 123 8018 and quote 1391242.”
