RE: [RC] When to call animal control? - heidiOK, OK it was just an example. Over here in the mud, if you don't trim them ALL the time, they get elf feet. And as the rest of your post explained very well, much of what constitutes "neglect" is a matter of environment. A horse may be untouched by human hands but in a fairly natural environment with enough to eat, and not be "neglected" per se. I think the #1 area of ignorance is what constitutes enough to eat. Horses can put up with a lot of other marginal stuff if they are fed somewhat well. That said, when areas such as hoof management, etc. reach the point of causing pain or debility, then there is a humane issue.
