Inside the barn they found a dead horse.
Farmer says during the investigation, detectives learned that the two planned to return to the barn and cut up the dead horse to dispose of it. They were arrested when they arrived on the scene with chainsaws.
Four other horses were found with signs of malnourishment.
When investigators went to the residence on Blue Rock Road, they found 15 malnourished dogs, and two dead dogs.
Investigators also took custody of the woman's 2-year-old daughter who was living in the home among among trash and animal waste.
Kimberly Hendrix and Nathan Woody are both charged in the case.
