Abused Horses In Md. For Rehabilitation
Howard Co. Farm Rehabbing Abused Horses
WOODBINE, Md. --
A Howard County farm received Thursday six of 53 horses found malnourished and abused at a
rescue farm in West Virginia.
Workers at the
Days End Farm in Woodbine said the horses' eyes all but gave away the neglect and pain they felt.
"If you just look at them, you can just tell that they're hurting," said Rebecca Corkrin, a worker at
Days End. "It's the same thing with people, you look into a person's eyes. I really think the eyes are the window to the soul, you can see you can read a lot of their expressions."
The horses -- some close to death -- appear to be thoroughbreds, and they were rescued from a
rescue farm in West Virginia and taken to
Days End on Thursday.
"All bone structures of the horse, which is normally covered with some fat and flesh, are underneath the flesh. So, it's basically a skeleton with skin," veterinarian Dr. Richard Forfa said.
