Update: This case has been closed! The defendant pled guilty to one count of animal cruelty. Terms are as follows: He is not permitted to possess animals of any kind for 5 years and is subject to random inspections to ensure compliance. He must pay a $100 fine and court costs. He faces 90 days in jail and the reinstatement of the remaining $400 in fines if he fails to comply with the terms of probation. While this is good news, Happy Trails is once again left to cover the cost of rehabilitation for these horses. Your support ensures these three horses will recover and find a forever home.
