The horse was grazing in a field in the Paulerspury/Potterspury area between 7pm and 9pm on Saturday, June 1, when it was discovered to have a large cut on its neck, police said today.

A vet had to double stitch the wound in order to close it, and based on the nature of the injury it is believed a person is responsible, rather than it happening accidentally.

Officers from the Police Rural Crime Team are particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw a black ‘08-registration Volkswagen Polo acting suspiciously in the area earlier that day.

Anyone with information about the attack, or the VW Polo, should call police on 101, or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555111.
