It's horrible to hear of those stories that involve horse abandonment. In horse therapy and equine courses we treat horses with respect as we do with humans. I think everyone should have that kind of respect for all types of animals. Heres the story..
"Two California men have been arrested in connection with the abandonment of a 20-year-old Thoroughbred horse.
John Welsh, public information chief for the Riverside County, Calif. Department of Animal Services, said Riverside Police Department personnel discovered the animal on May 13 near the Hidden Valley Nature Center in Riverside after a tipster reported seeing two men on horseback leading a third horse behind them. The men then rode out of the area, leaving the third horse behind.
Read the unlikely story of a woman who quit her Washington, D.C., area office job to open the racehorse placement program LOPE in Beyond the Homestretch.
"The horse has a lot of bumps and bruises, is blind in its right eye, and appears to be underweight," Welsh said.
The horse is now under Department of Animal Services care, Welsh said.
Riverside Police Department spokesman Lt. Guy Toussaint said Juan Jose Hidalgo Rodarte and Cresenciano Castro Reyes were arrested on charges of suspicion of felony animal cruelty and conspiracy to abandon a horse. Both men were transported to the Robert Presley Detention Center. Each was held on $5,000 bond."
