Horse dies from sugar overdose after burglars feed her 20-kilo bag of carrots to keep her quiet during robbery
23-year-old Francesca Maples had to take the heartwrenching decision to put her horse down last week after she suffered from a sugar overload due to the actions of some robbers
A horse has died after burglars stealing feed from her stable allegedly threw a large bag of carrots to her in a bid to keep her quiet during their robbery. Her 23-year-old owner, Francesca Maples of Leeds, West Yorkshire, had to take the difficult decision to put four-year-old Kamara down last week after the horse became seriously ill for more than three weeks following the burglary.
According to a JustGiving page set up to help raise money that could help Maples pay the extensive vet bills racked up during her attempts to save Kamara, on the morning of January 19, the day after the robbery, she found the horse unwell in her stall.
