text: Two horses have been rescued after one was found being kept in an alleyway so narrow it could not turn around, while the other was chained to the ground. RSPCA inspectors were called to the house after they received numerous calls from residents living nearby in Lawrence Weston, Bristol, who were worried about the animals. Photos taken when they visited show a small horse standing on muddy ground in a passage just over a metre wide, which is blocked at one end with a gate. RSPCA inspectors were called after a horse was seen living in an alleyway so narrow it could not turn round . Another picture shows a horse chained to the ground, with little room to move. The animals are thought to have been kept at the site by the side of a house for around a month and are understood to have been moved on by their owners following warnings from the RSPCA. Andrew Hiles, 65, who lives nearby, said: 'The situation has got worse and worse. 'This has been the case for the last month. It was certainly a cause for much concern. The horses had no way of turning around, and the horse box was just left by the road side. 'Those were some terrible conditions to live in, and it is not like they have a stable or somewhere nice. It has been going on for a while. I would like to know how they even came to own these horses. 'As far as I know, a lot of us had been calling the RSPCA and asking them to do something, but I don't know if that's the case.' They found another horse, which was larger, and was living at the site chained to the muddy ground . The alleyway where the horse was kept is at the bottom of a muddy slope, and the other horse was kept chained to the ground on a grassy area nearby. Both horses were removed on Wednesday after complaints from neighbours and a warning from the RSPCA. But Margaret Hiles, 61, is still worried and added: 'We don't know what has happened to the pair of them, or where they have gone. I don't think the RSPCA has taken them, they have just been moved. The smaller horse was stuck at the base of a muddy garden, trapped in an incredibly narrow alleyway . A spokesman from the RSPCA said: 'We have received calls from concerned members of the public about two horses being kept in a garden in the Lawrence Weston area of Bristol. 'Our inspectors have made several visits to the property to issue advice to the owner to improve the environment in which the horses are being kept. 'We understand the current situation is that the horses have now been moved.'
