While police investigate the shooting deaths of several horses in Wisconsin, a St. Croix County woman hopes horse owners will reach out to families whose animals were killed.

Since Nov. 19, six horses have been discovered dead or dying in their pastures in Dunn and St. Croix counties after sustaining small caliber gunshot wounds.

Former horse breeder Linda Kuhn said she hopes local horse owners will donate suitable animals to replace the ones families lost in the incidents.

"These families aren't looking for money horses, they just want another horse for their children," said Kuhn
