40 Horses Seized From California Farm
By Kathryn Brim, Editor

A total of 40 horses have now been removed from a farm in Myers Flat, CA. The farm was investigated by local Animal Control agents after reports of malnourished horses and poor living conditions.

According to a local news report, the horses were found standing in several feet of manure with matted coats, lice and severe hoof problems. All were well-fed. They range in age from several weeks to 23 years, and include mares, geldings and stallions.

This is not the first time the Animal Control Division has visited this residence. Horses have been removed from the property in the past following similar reports of neglect. Chronic hoarding is suspected.

I'm confused... in one of the first lines it says that the animals were malnourished and a couple of sentences later, it said that they were well fed???

I was wondering what you intend on doing with the horses now? Do you have people that are willing to adoped them? I would be interested in helping please let me know what I can do to help!

You cannot say malnourished and well fed to describe the same animals. I'm certain it was an error, but the sooner corrected the better!!!

I'm confused... malnourished AND well fed? If they are well fed, but the manure is the problem, can't they come in with a truck and tractor, conditions fixed... if they are malnourished then they should take the horses, in my opinion.
