During lock down more than 100 horses have been abandoned or neglected in Lincolnshire.

The RSPCA fear this number will only increase as people face more financial pressure from coronavirus.

There are also the costs of looking after the animal during winter.

Dr Mark Kennedy from the charity says micro-chipping of horses is now compulsory.
