Mic, my experience with emaciated horses is that the owners are suffering some kind of break down. If you feel comfortable phoning the authorities...do so. If not, keep an eye on the horses as much as possible and keep going for visits and just go out and throw them hay (if there is some available). Animals need three things before they can be seized, food, shelter, and water. If they don't have one then that's a reason to seize them...at least here in Canada that's the case. What are your animal protection laws like over there? Wanda
