PIC BY CATERS - (PICTURED: Charlotte McPherson rides Thor, the poor malnourished horse.) - SEE CATERS COPY.- A chubby rider has been banned from keeping horses after eagle-eyed Facebook users spotted pictures of her riding a skeletal ex-racehorse online. Charlotte McPherson, from Kidderminster, Worcs, was reported to the RSPCA after horse lovers spotted her riding her skinny Thoroughbred horse Thor at a public event in March. She had covered the horses hindquarters with an exercise sheet, designed to keep the horse warm, but it also prevented event organisers from seeing the horses protruding bones. But after official photographs of the event were released on Facebook, dozens of people reported her to animal charities - and she admitted two counts of animal cruelty at Birmingham Magistrates Court earlier this week.
