Abuse of equines could be defined many ways depending in which context you are speaking and to whom. In Websters dictionary abuse is defined as; to hurt by treating badly; mistreatment; causing injury.
Neglect is defined in Websters as; not to care for sufficiently or properly; slight; to treat as unimportant, through carelessness or by intention.
The horses I have pictured below have not recieved the proper care. The first group suffered from malnutrition and parasite infestation. The following group from lack of proper hoof care.
