"I was shocked at the condition of the horse," she said.

The animal was emaciated and his hipbones stuck out like coat racks.

Gaboff did not think he could have wandered very far, and speculated that he may have been dumped in the area.

"Poor old man, at least he had seven days of being warm, dry, with a full belly and lots of affection," Post said.
