SAFE has taken in two senior horses (25+) surrendered tonight to King County Animal Control (we were told the mare is 37, the gelding is 33, but Dr. Evergreen thinks they are not quite that old, but definitely over 25). They are currently in SAFE’s care and are being housed at NWESC. This is an open active animal cruelty case, so information is limited. The two horses were taken from a property in Woodinville tonight. The horses are both very thin and in poor condition. Their teeth are in very bad shape. The mare is also suffering from a fairly severe wound to her withers from an ill-fitting blanket that was put on in November and not removed.
Right now these horses are in temporary custody of King County and SAFE/NWESC is merely housing and caring for them until the resolution of the case.

Wowza! Thats reason right there why its so important to remove blankets periodically; not only to evaluate weight but check for ouchies like that!
