Police are warning horse owners in the Felbridge, Surrey area to remain vigilant after a vicious attack has left a mare recovering with two wounds after being shot with a crossbow on the morning of 12th of April.
Police have stated that they have found a 15 inch crossbow bolt in the mare’s field after the attack, prompting the investigation into this cruel attack on an unwitting animal.
