The SPCA is looking to send eight horses "home for the holidays" after a raid on a Langley, B.C., farm.

The animals were discovered underweight and suffering from various ailments during a seizure on a Walnut Grove property last week. The SPCA is recommending cruelty charges against the farm's owner.

"There are dental issues, hoof issues -- they had rain scald. They showed signs of psychological distress, like bobbing and chewing on their enclosures," Marcie Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations, told ctvbc.ca.

One of the horses, Ronnie, a 14-year-old Clydesdale, had to have his right eye surgically removed because of an untreated infection.

The owner still has a week to dispute the seizure.

The horses, three thoroughbreds, two paints, one Quarter and an Arabian, bring the number of horses taken in by the non-profit agency to 112 since January.

The majority were seized as a result of cruelty investigations. Sixty remain in custody, 16 of which are ready for adoption. Many people don't realize the SPCA offers horse adoptions.

"We want to be the first option for people adopting horses in the province," Moriarty said. "Our primary concern is to find these horses a good home."

The agency pays foster care-givers up to $15 a day per horse to care for them before they find new homes -- about $500 a month per animal.

"Some of them have been through significant ordeals and it's a priority for us to find these wonderful animals suitable, permanent homes."

To view the horses for adoption visit the SPCA B.C. website. Do not select a location as many of the horses are being cared for in foster homes and shelters across the province.

The SPCA is currently fighting multiple animal cruelty cases, including a September case where 29 horses were seized from a property near Vernon.

After more than 20 follow-up visits by investigators, officers removed a total of 73 animals from the farm, including 39 small terrier-mix dogs (including 16 puppies), four cats, a pig and a llama from the property.

Moriarty said many animals remain in custody of the agency for many months until new homes are found.

"All of them deserve a second chance," she said.
