State troopers arrested Marjorie E. Hansen, 58, for 13 counts of failing to provide sustenance pursuant to state Agricultural and Markets law.
The law includes a specification for the legal necessity of an owner to give proper food and water, shelter, exercise and sanitary accommodations to their animals.
Troopers Nicole VanHoesen and Jeremy Proper located ten horses and three calves on a farm and determined they were unhealthy and had not been receiving proper care from Hansen.
Hansen was arraigned in the Town of Hillsdale Court and ordered to reappear on May 20.
The animals are now under the supervision of the Columbia-Greene American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
