WFTV.com of Orlando, Fla. yesterday (July 13) reported the discovery of a 30-year-old Arabian abandoned behind a home in east Orange County. The previous owner of the property left the chestnut horse behind several months ago when she sold the property, and “Moe” was left to fend for himself.


According to the article, “the brush was so high and thick, nobody knew he was back there.” Moe is up to 300 pounds underweight, and animal cruelty officers told WFTV.com it was one of the worst cases of neglect they had seen.


Paula Fulton of west Orange County has adopted the horse and is nursing him back to health. Every morning, I want to come out there and every day I want him to be better and better. It’ll make me feel good. It’s just something I want to do,” Fulton told WFTV.com.


Moe’s prior owner moved to North Carolina and faces charges for animal neglect
