   I need help to bring awareness to a woman out in Wimer , Or who is abusing horses again starving them and this is her second time that I reported her to animal control and Jackson County Sherriffs dept with little or no help. This mare will surley die and not make it through winter. We need to bring awareness to the Sherriffs dept on how to judge a horses condition. Thanks Val Roberts

   Val,
   I am the web page hostess—an amateur volunteer—who thought that all messages would be forwarded to me from the web site. I just now realized that you had commented back in November, and that I was not sent the message. I regret that an abused horse may have suffered because of my misunderstanding of how comments are communicated. Please be assured that Equamore has trained several Jackson County deputies in judging horse conditions. We continue to work with them and with other law enforcement agencies to respond to situations such as you describe. In November and again in January, Equamore and the the Jackson County Sherriff’s department intervened to rescue four neglected horses, two of which were seized by court order and two of which were voluntarily surrendered. In both cases, Executive Director LInda Davis and other volunteers managed to transport the horse to the Equamore Sanctuary at Eden Farm, where they are recovering under the care of our volunteers and employees of Eden farm. If the situation has not been resolved, please contact the Sherriff’s department again, as our recent experiences has solidified our partnership with police officers in Jackson County, and I am certain they will be responsive to the animal’s need.
