Damage
They were able to determine that this was an old pony that was roughly twenty years of age. It had been left outside by a previous owner, who badly beat it before leaving it out there to die. The injuries were extensive and gruesome to hear. Needless to say, the animal had been through a lot.
It had a few bones in its neck that were broken, which would explain why it couldn’t lift up its head. On top of that, both eyes were seriously injured, and one had a chance to recover, but the horse lost one eye for good due to the beating it got from the mysterious criminal.
