Research shows that the horse in question is actually famous, and memorialized in a song:
Oh, the old grey mare,
She ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be,
The old grey mare,
She ain't what she used to be,
Many long years ago.
really though, I hope the situation is taken care of.

I'm sorry; I figured since the vet said it looked fine, I would take his/her word on it, too.bernsm said:

We're now getting conflicting stories as to whether a vet was out there or not. SMAWL has contacted The Enterprise and they have decided to do a story on this horse and St. Mary's County Animal Control. I think that should help bring some positive results.
Good luck Appy....UFB!!

OMG! That is horrible and they should not only take the horse but charge the owners for neglect. Stupid effing people! What really bothers me is that other people saw this going on and never tried to step in. I am just appalled this poor girl could go on for so long without any intervention. I believe the animal control officials should be brought up also on deriliction (sp) of duties, seeing they didn't act on this as soon as it was reported. I wish I was set up to take this poor girl, not enough pasture. She needs to be babied the rest of her life to make up for what she has been put through by the stupidity and laziness of man.
I hope they come pronto and rescue that poor horse. Thanks for caring, appy.

Just a question: Do people rent out stables around here?

I'm not sure what "working on it" means either because things are progressing at a snails pace at best. SMAWL has someone going by there a couple of times a day and giving this horse a "flake" of hay. The type of hay and amount was recommended to us by an individual that knows horses. We are running into the usual bureaucratic snags and "misunderstandings". It's very frustrating but SMAWL WILL NOT let go of this case. Keep calling in the complaints to Animal Control and/or call your county commisioner. Thanks to everyone.
Appy,
Truly appreciate your input and will pass it on. The horse has only been close enough once or twice for us to get a good look/picture so can't say for sure what he's doing with the hay except that it's disappearing. The people that are feeding this guy are sort of tossing the flakes over the fence after crawling through the briars. Since we don't know the people that own the property or their mental soundness for that matter, we're trying to keep a low profile on our visits. Animal Control is not very happy with SMAWL as a result of this neglect/abuse case. You could say that we got under their skin. Thanks again.

Yep, wish I could of seen his face. I suspect he's getting lots of calls and come Monday, if some action hasn't been taken by his office, we call his boss.
