Officials with the Hill Country Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Fredericksburg told KSAT Tuesday that they were given custody of a sorrel gelding and blue stud horse last week.

Davis said even though both horses are older, the staff and caregivers at Hill Country SPCA are hoping the lack of care the animals dealt with doesn’t cost them their lives prematurely. “Their healing can officially begin knowing they are safe, cared for and loved. We are honored to now be a part of their care team,” Davis concluded.
KSAT has reached out to the Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office for more information regarding possible charges to the horse’s owner.Copyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
