A Lower Hutt woman who starved a horse for several weeks until it was too weak to even be led away by an SPCA inspector has been denied a discharge without conviction.
Tania Harrison appeared in the Hutt Valley District Court this afternoon where her lawyer argued she shouldn t receive a conviction for the offending because it would affect her ability to maintain or get a job in the future.
