AN ABANDONED horse was seized by Limerick City and County Council last week from public lands.

A statement from the local authority confirmed that a brown and white female yearling was seized from the Old Cork Road in Limerick City on May Tuesday 13.

The identity of the animalโ€™s owner is not known to the Council.

Abandoned horses seized by the local authority are held for five days and, if not claimed by their owner or keeper, are re-homed to shelters outside of Limerick in accordance with the 1996 Control of Horses Act.
