Starving horse rescued by humane society officers in Ontario

Starving Horse

A starving horse that was about 300 pounds underweight was rescued by humane society officers who found it tied to a bush in Ontario, officials said Wednesday.

Officers from the Inland Valley Humane Society discovered the emaciated animal Tuesday after receiving a call from a passerby, Officer Beth Les said.

The horse, nicknamed "Mommas" by its rescuers, is a 20-year-old quarter horse mare that would normally weigh about 1,100 pounds. She was about 750 pounds.

The horse, Les said, was in the sun without any food or water in a field by Eucalyptus Avenue, apparently abandoned by its owner.
