Sentence: Six-year ban on keeping equines, 150 hours of unpaid work, £1,100 in costs, and a community order
Jessica Coffey neglected and starved a two-year-old cob named Texas, leaving him emaciated in a muddy and inadequate field on Brimstage Road, Heswall, on or around January 2, 2018. The horse suffered a prolapsed and infected penis, collapsed during transport to the hospital, and had to be euthanised despite emergency treatment. Another horse, Spice, was kept in similar conditions but was in better health and is now recovering at a welfare centre.
