Loose horse seized from Limerick housing estate ‘rehomed’
A HORSE seized by Limerick City and County Council was rehomed after it was not claimed by its owners or keepers.
On Wednesday, January 11, a four-year-old brown and white female yearling was seized from Roundwood Estate, in Rosbrien, in Limerick.
Limerick City and County Council confirmed that the animal was straying in a public area and was seized in accordance with the provisions contained in the Limerick City and County Council Bye-Laws 2017, on the control of horses.
The identity of the owner or keeper is not known.
After being held in the pound for five days and after public notices of impoundment were publicly circulated, no one came forward to claim the female yearling.
As a result, the animal was re-homed by the Pound to a horse charity located outside of Limerick. The council has confirmed the horse did not show any sign of neglect and was not suffering from poor health.
