ISPCA rescue Shetland pony that 'struggled to walk' with 'horrifically overgrown' hooves

The ISPCA has rescued an abandoned Shetland pony in Co. Offaly with hooves so horrifically overgrown, that he could hardly walk or move due to the extreme pain he was suffering.
The charity's National Animal Cruelty Helpline got a call from a concerned member of the public, and sent frontline Inspector Deirdre Scally to investigate.
