The horses were seized from a property on Parkers Lane off Highway 97, just north of Hendricks Lane in Molino. The seizure was the result of an ongoing investigation.
Charges were not immediately filed, but the investigation remains open.
“Trigger was extremely emaciated,” PER President Diane Lowery said late Thursday afternoon. “Bo is doing slightly better, but needs dental work.”
With the two seized horses, PER is now housing 11 horses on three acres. That has put the non-profit in extreme need of a pole barn, Lowery said, to have room for the overflow. And one of the horses seized Thursdays had an allergy to bug bites and needs a stall.
“We need donations,” Lowery said. “Bo and Trigger are counting on all of us to help them.”
To donate, tax deductible contributions can be mailed to PER, P.O. Box 777, Cantonment, FL 32533, or visit www.panhandleequinerescue.org.
