When three emaciated horses were found abandoned by the Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in a field of corn in Buckinghamshire, England, in February 2014, it seemed unlikely any of them could survive.In fact, one collapsed before anyone could help her and had to be put down immediately to end her suffering. The remaining two, Polly and Penny, were taken to the Horse Trust for urgent care. They were given 24-hour emergency care, but Penny didn’t respond, and a week later, she was also put down to end her suffering.
