NEW HOLLAND, Pa. — Animal cruelty officials in Pennsylvania are investigating after a horse riddled with over 100 paintball remnants was found abandoned at a stable.

Officials from the Lancaster County SPCA tell LNP they were called to New Holland Sales Stables on Monday after the mare was found in a stall when sales ended for the day.

SPCA Executive Director Susan Martin says the 20-year-old horse was underweight and had been struck by about 130 paintballs at close range. She says the horse was “in a substantial amount of pain when touched.”

The horse hadn’t been registered for Monday’s sale and had no visible identification.
