Horse doing well after 'acid attack' as fund tops £11,000published at 10:20 British Summer Time 30 April 2018
A horse which is being treated in North Yorkshire after a suspected acid attack is responding well to treatment as a crowdfunding campaign set up to pay for her care tops £11,000.
Cinders is "doing really well" after undergoing initial surgery to deal with her horrific injuries at Rainbow Equine Hospital in Old Malton.
She was found dumped in a yard in Chesterfield and the vet treating her says it's the first time they've had to treat a horse for chemical burns.
Dave Rendle described the suspected attack on Cinders, thought to be just eight-months-old, as "shocking".
"The fact we knew it was deliberate was hard to take. There were a few choice words said in the office," he added.
