A woman from Lancashire who neglected her horses so badly four of them had to be put down has been spared jail.
Julie Lee, 51, of Spitten Farm in Accrington, failed to give her six horses, who were kept on a field outside Bury, proper care, leaving them needing treatment from vets, farriers, and dental care.

Inspectors Susie Micallef and Alison Fletcher attended, alongside officers from the World Horse Welfare charity.

The 12-year-old Shetland pony, one of the three to be put to sleep at the farm, was in so much pain she could barely move. A statement from Inspector Fletcher said: “She had extremely overgrown hooves, with
