Investigators say 54 year old Ronald Downey had four dead Belgian Draft horses in a pen behind his house in July.
The Missouri Department of Agriculture says the horse died from lack of water. The above picture was taken when the horses were healthy.
Downey was informed he had to dispose of the dead horsed properly.
Investigators went back to Downey's house to find the horsed were covered up with dirt and hay.
