Three horses have been rescued from a field.

The RSPCA and emergency services were called to a field off Pylands Lane in Bursledon on Sunday, where they found the animals.

They had been alerted by a member of the public.

An RSPCA inspector, the fire service, police and a vet attended and found the horses malnourished and dehydrated.

One of the animals was put down on the advice of a vet. The other two are now in the care of the RSPCA.
