On your drive to work you go past a pasture and you notice there a lone horse there and progressively he looks more and more skinny each day on your drive to work. You take notice as you drive by after numerous sightings of this poor creature and you notice there is no water in site and from all appearances no other food and he has a matted and unkept mane.

Instead of driving by one day and noticing that horse is gone because he is literally starving to death, if you see or suspect abuse, call it in to your local ASPCA or Horse Rescue. You can find the one nearest you or simple check Google. When you suspect abuse, being silent about it is as good as saying it's okay with you.

Chances are very good the neglect is due to the people not knowing the full scope of what it takes to take care of a horse properly and they will be given the chance to rectify the situation before they lose custody of their animal. If it is a case of the owners just outright now caring - then you have probably saved a horse's life.

The key is to get involved. You don't have to spend a dime and it will only cost you a little time to end the possible abuse and neglect of a beautiful animal that deserves to be treated as well as possible.
