6 hungry horses rescued

By Cass Rains

Staff Writer



Six horses were seized Thursday morning by Grant County Sheriff’s Office deputies after the execution of a search warrant about nine miles north and four miles west of Medford.

The horses were taken to a location in Enid where they will remain until they can be transported to horse rescue shelter in Holdenville, a member of Enid Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said.

Lahoma veterinarian Kristy Krueger was examining the six horses that had been brought to Enid, saying “these six are the critical ones.”

One other horse wasn’t as lucky.

“We had to put one down this morning because it was so bad,” Krueger said.

The horses were found in bare pasture, she said. All were malnourished and had mild worms.

“The main problem was just lack of food,” Krueger said. “They should make it. All of these should be able to.”

The six horses, ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old, were taken after the execution of a search warrant.

“It’s been an ongoing investigation,” said Grant County Deputy Jeremy Biggs. “Once the paperwork is completed it will be turned over to the district attorney.”

No arrests have been made, and Biggs wouldn’t say how many other horses were involved.

The horses will need bloodwork done before they are taken to the rescue shelter in Hughes County, Krueger said.
