HAVING been left abandoned in a field, Rosie the horse was in such a bad state her ribs were visible through her skin.
Her mane and tail were a mass of knots with pieces of thistle stuck in them and her spine and hip bones stuck out through her skin and coat.
Thankfully, after being rescued and taken in by staff at RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre in South Mimms, Rosie is now almost back to normal.
A spokeswoman for the Packhorse Lane centre told the Potters Bar Edition: “The transformation was unbelievable and within a couple of months she looked like a different pony with a glossy coat, well covered and content.
“What a wonderful difference!”
If you can give her a home, call RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre on 0300 123 0704.
Alternatively you can visit Rosie at the care home open every day, except Wednesdays, from 11am until 4.15pm.
