AN IPSWICH horse breeder and trainer has pleaded guilty to RSPCA charges of animal neglect after some of her horses were found living in poor conditions.
A court heard some of the animals had eye infections, one foal was found with a broken shoulder, while another horse was found lying in muddy urine and faeces, with her coat covered in mud.
A vet from the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission who attended with RSPCA inspectors in March 2019 recommended the foal be euthanised.
The neglect was attributed to the breederâs struggling financial situation and having too many animals.
