This was on our local news (Central Texas).... I thought some of you might be interested!

People offering to buy horses that are starving

Well, I'm glad for the horse's sake that they're likely to find good homes... I am not all that sympathetic to the owner who seems to be having no trouble finding his own meals while keeping 27 horses he can't afford to feed. Seems he should have sold horses before they were in dire straits.... There's a story in there somewhere on why he has that many to begin with, he doesn't look like a rider.

We've got a few posters from the TX area, I know there's been a drought, but I wonder if hay is really that hard to find.

Wow, that's a shame! But he should be feeding them something else besides hay. They looked poorly taken care of in general. I hate to see horses kept in conditions like that. Hopefully the ones that are adopted out will be bound for a better life and the ones that are left will be better taken care of and this guy will stop raising more horses than he can afford to feed. Thanks for the post!
