L-R Paloma the horse before and after being rehomed. Paloma was seized by a Scottish SPCA inspector because she was in terrible condition. She had overgrown feet and was covered in sores because her body was riddled with lice. Worst of all, she was pregnant whilst in this state. Under the care of the Scottish SPCA, Paloma gave birth to baby Beau. They were both healthy and living the best life they could in their stable and field, but they had to wait over 500 days to be rehomed because they were part of a court case. Thankfully, they were both rehomed and are now happily settled with their new owner (Photo: SSPCA).
