A Northern Rivers woman previously convicted of animal cruelty offences has admitted she was looking after horses despite being banned from owning pets.
Leah Angela Braid, 51, was sentenced in August 2019 on several charges relating to a failure to supply proper food and treatment to a horse and foal at her Bonalbo property.
The RSPCA had attended Braid's property in 2016 and found a horse and foal both severely malnourished.
She was ordered by the District Court to not own, possess, or take custody of animals for five years.
Braid appeared before Casino Local Court on Thursday, where she pleaded guilty for a second time to breaching the District Court order.
