Neglected Horses Brought to Shelter
By Greg Cooper
The Humane Society of Ventura County took in four horses at our Shelter in Ojai this week. In response to a case of neglect, HSVC Senior Humane Officer Vail and Humane Officer Winwood discovered severely emaciated horses on a property in Ventura County in immediate need of care. The four horses were transported to the HSVC to be cared for by HSVC Equine Specialist Christie Tracy, HSVC Veterinary Assistant Christina Malleck and the Shelter staff under the supervision of Marta Granstedt, DVM and Kevin Smith, DVM. The horses registered as a 1 on the Henneke scale and are extremely malnourished.
