A pony was removed from common land over welfare concerns.
RSPCA Cymru has launched an appeal to find the owner of the chestnut mare, which was taken from Gelligaer and Merthyr Common.
The pony was removed on Wednesday, January 8, by the RSPCA, Caerphilly County Borough Council, Redwings, and World Horse Welfare.
RSPCA inspector Christine McNeil said: “This pony was taken into possession by Caerphilly County Borough Council under the Animal Welfare Act and was taken into charitable care where she is now receiving the appropriate veterinary treatment.”
The RSPCA is now trying to find the owner of the pony and is appealing for information.
Ms McNeil added: “We don’t know who this mare belongs to so we’re issuing an appeal to help with enquiries.
“Anyone with any first hand information can contact the RSPCA Inspectorate Appeal Line on 0300 123 8018 and quote 1391242.”
The RSPCA recently launched its Join The Winter Rescue campaign and is calling on the public to support the initiative to ensure rescuers can continue their life-saving work during the busy winter period.
