Fearing “something sexual” had happened to them, he checked CCTV and called in the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
The CCTV footage showed Waters prowling around the man’s farm before leaving the barn at 11.40pm.
He was arrested on September 23 and told officers: “I need help. I know what I have done. I just get these urges.”
Waters, 40, also admitted having sex with his own pet dog and has now been jailed for 30 months, according to Lancashire Live.
Burnley Crown Court heard Waters, a supermarket stock checker, has previous convictions for abusing horses in 1997 and 2016.
Judge Sara Dodd said the case was “as unusual as it is disturbing” as she handed down his sentence.
