QUEEN ANNE'S COUNTY, Md. -- Several Maryland horse farms and rescues are working to treat more than 150 neglected and malnourished horses that were taken from a farm in Queen Anne's County.
The Polish Arabian horses were taken from Canterbury Farms in Centreville on Friday. Rescuers said a horse breeder there couldn't take care of her facility, and the horses started to breed on their own.
An anonymous call led to the rescue.
"This is the worst case in Maryland's history, as far as sheer quantity," said Marci D'Alessio of Days End Farm Horse Rescue. "We did an impound last year of 26 in Garrett County, and we thought that was large. Within this month, we're going to exceed the number we took in all of last year." "I can't wait for two months from now to see that their ribs aren't showing so much. They'll be so much healthier."

11 News learned that some of the horses are 300 to 400 pounds underweight and in bad shape.
