A horse had to be put down and 13 others are being cared for by animal charities after they were found emaciated and neglected in a field near Falkirk.

"Three of the horses were emaciated. They were covered with lice and mange and I have never seen horses with such neglected feet.She said a lot of the horses were skinny and moved in a crablike manner as their back ends were not stable.The woman, who has five horses of her own, claims people had informed the Scottish SPCA about the horses in January but nothing was done.
Police Scotland officers assisted the Scottish SPCA at the property on Tuesday but said the matter was being dealt with by the animal charity.
