   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.
