Yeah, they're raving lunatics, but harnessing that and directing it at this jackass could be a good thing:
New details of allegations against Adam Census Cowboy Hollingsworth. According to information in charging documents:
Horse collapsed outside animal shelter. Could not get up on its own.
Upon arrival at shelter, horse was overheated, extremely exhausted, shook uncontrollably.
Horse has saddle sores, injuries to its Coronet band, and multiple wounds from being canter on concrete without shoes.
While on highway, horse galloped for short distances and also walked slowly as if it was to the point of exhaustion.
Case was delayed by a day because assistant states attorney initially declined felony charges, sending cops to do further investigation. Word is the horse may have to be euthanized, and this mope owns another 4 or 5 horses somewhere else.

“injuries to its Coronet band, and multiple wounds from being canter on concrete without shoes.”
Lack of shoes does not cause such an injury. Were that the case every feral horse on the hard desert floor would have this.
Shoes protect the wearing of the hoof. Steel does little to limit concussive injury. You can road founder a horse nearly as easily with shoes as without. Of course they are not speaking of road founder here.
This blatant cuel mistreatment makes me want to slap some ignint SOB upside the head with a 2x4. WTH is wrong with some people?!
And never call PETA. PETA kills animals.
” road founder a horse “
Giant toenails!
One of the few things I know about horses!
I worked with a serious horseman, many mornings he would come in clean up and change, from his boots and breeches.
A real gentleman that enjoyed talking about his horses.
Only animal that walks on one toe.
