I heard about a horse abuse case today in the next town up the road from Bixby. Debbie, the girl I feed for this winter, called and told me about it, sounds really bad. She was called to come and help haul horses away from this place.
Several horses had not been out of their stalls in 3 years, one had a broken leg, one had an untreated cut that had grown so much proud flesh it looked like extra legs. These two are going to be put down.
The stalls hadn’t been cleaned either in that length of time, it took over 30 minutes to dig one out he was sunk in so much.
Several were very thin, and several of the ones that were outside were in pretty good shape. 13 in all were hauled off, QH’s and Paints. The owner pulled up in a brand new Chevy pickup, dressed very nicely as they were loading horses. The police showed up shortly afterwards, cuffed and stuffed her and took her to jail. Yeah!!!
I don’t even like think about such stuff...

I hate it when people neglect horses like that. Why not at least turn the poor things out?
And WHY didn't anybody do anything about this for 2-3 years? Why didn't somebody find out sooner?
I'm glad they hauled the owner off to jail, and I hope she goes to prison.
Ah man... I hate to hear about that stuff too. At least maybe the horses that live can have some relief.
Good pictures AAM.... that delay on digitals is a killer on jumping pictures :~) I know... I’ve taken a lot of them.
