Severely neglected ex-racehorse Dash rescued from Ballinasloe Fair, spurring calls for ownership rule review.

In October, rescuers found a severely neglected seven-year-old ex-racehorse named Dash at the Ballinasloe Fair. Covered in sores and tied to a fence, Dash had won over €20,000 in his racing career. The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) rescued him, leading to calls for a review of equine ownership transfer rules. The ISPCA urges horse owners to prioritize animal welfare and the public to report any cruelty.
