A Tantawangalo woman accused of mistreating ponies on the south coast has again had her case adjourned as charge negotiations continue.

Janice Louise Denny, also known as Janice Northey, 58, was not required to appear in Bega Local Court on October 13 as she faces two charges of failing to provide proper and sufficient food to an animal and two charges of failing to provide vet treatment to an animal.

She has pleaded not guilty to all four charges.

The case returns to Bega Local Court on October 27.

The charges were brought by the RSPCA NSW in March and relate to the alleged mistreatment of four horses in Candelo and Tantawangalo.

An RSPCA investigation in late 2019 also led to the seizure of the animals in January after they were alleged to be in very poor condition.

The RSPCA allege the offences took place between November 17 last year and January 17 this year.

Magistrate Doug Dick adjourned the matter to Bega Local Court on October 27.
