ANIMALS examined at a south Bucks farm suffered a “heavy lice infestation” and were unable to walk properly because of overgrown hooves, a court heard today.
Over a hundred horses, donkeys and ponies were seized from Spindles Farm in Chalk Lane, Hyde Heath, on January 9 last year following advice from vets.
They said there were problems with either their environment, diet, behaviour, need to be kept apart from or with other animals, or being free from injury and disease.
