Four horses rescued from a Parker, Colorado property this weekend are under the watchful eye of the Rocky Mountain Horse Rescue in Arvada, Colorado, the Denver Post reports.

On a body condition scale ranging from 1 to 9, with 5 being ideal, 1 being starving, and 9 being obese, the horses rated between 1 and 2.

Rescue president Bini Abbott stated that so long as there were no underlying problems the rescue didn't know about, the horses could be brought back to full health.

The Rocky Mountain Horse Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization in Arvada, Colorado focusing on rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing malnourished and mistreated horses. Visit their website to learn more.
